I love my iPad, and it's a first generation model, not even the iPad 2.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I go through a WiFi heavy day with pretty frequent web use (and intermittent GPS) and get 8 or so hours out of my Galaxy, for future reference. I don't know what the settings were for CNET's testing. But I've run out of juice maybe twice in the whole time I've had it, and it goes everywhere with me, and gets used a lot.

Word xp/2003 problem. Comments show up as balloons on the right side of the document which is fine. But when I start editing them (which I need to do to reply to copy-edit queries) comment pane appears which takes up the whole bottom fifth of the screen. And I hate losing the real estate. How do I get rid of of it? Can't find where it is set to do that.

The comment bar/footnotes (toggles off and on) looks like lines and an arrow and usually is in the Reviewing bar.
I think it is black links and some blue.

I never run my Lenovo plugged in (8+ hours battery life!)
Daaaaaamn. I run my Lenovo Ideapad plugged in all the time, and I get about 3.5 hours battery life, give or take. I'm still confused about whether or not keeping it plugged in all the time is bad for the battery or whatever. It doesn't keep charging once it's fully charged, so it shouldn't affect the battery. Yet some people are recommending I remove the battery when I have it plugged in.

Keeping it plugged in all the time does shorten battery life in the long run. Combination of temperature plus battery shallowly charging and discharging. But that should be a long term thing. It should have zero detectable influence on battery life in the first year or two of running the computer. If battery life is a lot shorter than expected something else is going on.

Battery life is supposed to be 4 hours, so it's about right. Although one time it somehow only lasted under 2. But most of the time, it seems to last for a few hours.

AT&T's position on why they should be allowed to buy T-Mobile. Fairly sure the writing's biased, since it's Gizmodo, but it's still interesting.

T-Mobile is sending my G2 messages telling me I should restart my phone periodically (every week). In fact, it's telling me I'm 25 hours past due. Anyone else get that? WTF?
