My dodo case started falling apart less than a month after I bought it. The little rubber pads they use to hold the iPad in started coming off within ten days of purchase. I definitely wouldn't buy anther one, pretty as it is.
Sodium probably isn't bad for you (except in EPIC quantities that pretty much nobody could eat if they wanted to). It gets a bad rap due to some shoddy science.
Also, bread and vegetable oils being "ok" is certainly not set in stone. Generally-speaking, the less "processed" something is, the better. Part of what this means is that foods you can't eat without processing, you probably shouldn't be eating (like vegetable oils, flour, white sugar, etc). At the end of the day, humans are animals, and most of us are in "captivity", in a sense, eating what the zookeepers tell us we should eat (mostly found in the middle aisles of the grocery store).
What would humans eat in the wild? Meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts.
The nutritional advice given in this article is pretty much just a rehash of the same advice that has led to record-high rates of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes (among numerous other diseases on the rise that have long been thought of as "hereditary", even though studies are now starting to suggest that they're also diet-related). Take it with a pinch of salt.
Myth: You need to eat sugar to get sugar for your brain. Fact: Your body can make glucose out of protein, if it doesn't happen to get enough from the food you eat
Myth: If your brain needs glucose, we should just eat it as we see fit. Fact: Too much glucose in your blood stream is toxic, which is why your body releases insulin to flush it out (and store excess as fat). Ultimately, this ironically means that too much sugar/carbohydrate in your diet can lead to your brain getting *less* glucose, rather than more.
Because they just got even lazier. Now, instead of ACTUALLY doing a roundup and offering links, some moron decided "hey, we already wrote about all of these apps. Why spend ten minutes collecting all of those links. Just let everyone go find them in the sidebar."
Then, some other moron patted the first one on the back and said "brilliant. Here's a raise. Enjoy your extra ten minutes by getting me a latte."
Just what I needed: *another* reason to ignore Gizmodo. You guys are really taking some asinine moves with your site. For a tech site, you're surprisingly clueless.
this. Tere are two ways to do these, one thats fairly comfortable, and one that's not. Te one that's less comfortable gave me the illusions. It was rad, then.
Does anyone know what the hackability of the Nook Touch is like? I know it's an android device, and has already been jailbroken, but I'm curious how hacking it affects its normal function? That is, once it's JB'd, is the ebook reader part just another app? Can you open .epub files from the web/dropbox/etc with the built-in reader?
