Q : Broken iPhone . How do I get it secure ?
A : If you ’ve got a girl or a friend who is girl , have her take it to the Apple Store . “ Genius ” is really codename for “ nerd , ” and they probably do n’t experience how to apportion with girls . forethought : This does not play if your assigned Genius is also a girl . In that causa , abort and judge again . – Matt Buchanan
Matthew C. writes : “ I ’m in a bit of a watch plight . I ’m seek to find one for my lady friend that is both analog and digital and looks gracious enough to jade to work ( infirmary ) or out to a nice social consequence . She ’s in aesculapian school day so she would use it a muckle to time pulses and what - have - you . Any suggestions ? ”
I ’ve spent some time work in a jewellery computer memory and observe that medical students , nurses , and doctor have several very special motivation : A Ti or untarnished sword watch bracelet which wo n’t respond with any materials , a flat band which wo n’t snag on glove , and a 2nd hand to make living easier when trying to clock something .
There are many picket which fit that description , but a quick search direct Joe Brown and I to settle onthis special modelas something we ’d commend . If you block off into a jewellery store and number your needs though , someone should be able to recommend something equally fitting .
A world-wide caution though : Do n’t take offense if your girlfriend does n’t like the scout or suggest that she wants to exchange it . This is an detail she ’ll bear day by day and it ’s difficult to pick out something that ’ll dead suit her needs . – Rosa Gojilan
motion : Sam A. write : I require a organisation that lease my bambino access Dora the Explore on Netflix all by themselves , like they can on my iPad .
Answer : Do n’t . The American Academy of Pediatrics says nipper under two should n’t be exposed to boob tube , as “ these early years are crucial in a child ’s developing . ” Take your kid outdoors for a few years before the Nickelodeon switch is flipped on . -Sam
Jarod G writes : So I just wanted to ask about tablets . Should I get one now ? ( if so , could I get a recommendation , possibly for a juicy notecase and an empty one ) Or should I wait for a while .
A : Wait ! It wo n’t take very long . If you ’re digging the iPad , you ’re likely no more than five calendar month away from an update that could bring a front- and rear - facing camera and sharp display . If you ’d prefer Android , we should see tablets that are in reality , uh , usable once Android 3.0 ( Honeycomb ) reach sometime ahead of time next year . Your wallet will give thanks you for your patience .

RenRen writes in to require how to observe an anonymous online presence ?
Simple RenRen . Stay offline . If you ca n’t tear yourself aside from the Internet , be certain to habituate a public proxy waiter like http://www.torproject.org/ to mask your IP speech . You ’ll also want to grab a Google voice number , create a gang of throwaway email speech , and always use pseudonym , like RenRen .

Jake L .writes : I must require , darling Gizmodo . I ’ve had an issue with my super buttoned-down screw of a dad for year now- he hates that I am gay and is win over that I can be “ cured”- and I need him to knock it the fuck off . We can talk civilly , but it ’s an progeny that ’s always just under the aerofoil . I get laid him , but do n’t really wish him at the moment . Is there anything I can do ? Other than move out ; I am going up to shoal next summer .
Of of course , there ’s no easy answer to this , and at the ending of the day it depends on your dad ’s willingness to sit down and change his uber - conservative view in some way . That take time . However , short of some variety of epiphanous 180 on his part , you could always do the following :
Sit him down sometime and tell him that gay is reasonably much what it ’s about right now . cheery kind of runs son of a bitch , and even though he ca n’t help that , he certainly does n’t require to be on the incorrect side of history . Point him in the direction of people like Anderson Cooper and Mr. Sulu . Link him to various videos and news program on the theme , likethisone . And of course , let him know that your being gay does n’t impede your power to be epic in any way . This last part can be done with a few arduinos and light personal effects , without being too specific . — Kwame O.

Ben M require :
Headphones for heavy basso djing that are fashionable as infernal region ? properly now i got the beats but i feel like a instrument using em ’ for djing and the bass is their only secure suit .
Ben ,
You are a tool for using Beats for DJing — nothing against Dre ( please do n’t belt down me dude ) . His cans are not only sonically unequal ( as you pointed out ) , but they do n’t have enough ohmic resistance to jack into a soundboard . Crank up the mass too mellow , and they ’re gon na make any song sound like it ’s being drowned out by a fart company . My DJ phones of pick are theShure SRH750 DJ . They have poise sound with plenty of sea bass , a long detachable cord , pivot earcups , and 32 ohm of resistivity — that’ll handle as much line - level audio good as you could throw at ’em .

Someone , who we bury , asked the question : Christmas Tree , real for fake ?
A. advocator of the real christmas tree , from christmastree.org , believe that fake tree are filled with nasty chemical substance and will never break down . Makers of bastard Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree say that kill a Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree every class is uncool to the tree and mother earth ! Most of Gizmodo believe that veridical tree diagram are cooler / classier / whatever . But I call back buying a bastard Christmas tree used is a unspoilt solution . acquire a plastic tree diagram . Or plant two real trees for every Christmas tree you corrupt . Or buy a real Christmas tree diagram and mummify it . Heirloom ! — Blam
