LOL. My facebook profile has nothing there but there is no way I'd give my password to anyone - what makes any employer think they have that right?

But maybe it will scare some stupider people into thinking before they facebook.

... And Ikea continues to bring the ugly.

Excellent. Now stick those so-called 'geeks' in front of some coding.

Yeah, having Wiis and iPads and iPhones and whatever else isn't 'geek'. It's consumerism with a nice heaping dose of hipster and a sprinkling of smugness. And how on Earth does being tech-aware affect their parenting skills?

These smug, self-satisfied, tech-aware parents are why we have seven year olds with facebook accounts and iPhones. It's terrifying, actually.

Seriously? Hollywood has officially run out of ideas. I thought Battleship was bad, but this is rock bottom.

I was lucky enough to have a go with one, and I have always felt that I'm hard to understand but Siri had no problems with anything I asked - from the silly questions I asked, to finding out info and making notes. There were several things I couldn't attempt as it was someone else's phone (such as alarm, reminders, texting etc) but overall, I was impressed. But since my iPhone 4 is less than a year old, I'll be waiting for the iPhone 5 (I still find it hilarious everyone expected an iPhone 5 when the iPhone 4 was barely a year old. It would have been a terrible business decision.)

ohmeursault, I think it would be a May-Day dance from medieval times. Or a bus terminal.

iPhone, MSi Netbook and, if I'm going on a long trip, my Nintendo DSi and my ipod and headphones. Oh, and my Morphie for my phone.

I don't have a specific set budget for tech. If it's a necessity - like a laptop - I save and then set myself a price limit, and prioritize what I need in a computer before I purchase anything. That often means sacrificing in other areas.

I generally use my phones until they die, rather than renew them as soon as the contract is up. I am not interested in treating technology as disposable - my current laptop is more than five years old and I prefer to have things repaired rather than replaced.

Everything is paid for in cash or direct deposit or lay-away. I don't like credit cards or store loans.

Firecracker, I don't have the Luau, I have the double Candela, and they are fabulous. I've had them roughly 12 months and am really impressed with them. I'm hoping for a pair of Luaus for Christmas.

On the flipside, my sister got the children's ones (they look like aliens) and she didn't follow the same instructions I received (only charge them when they are completely drained) and we've found (after 4+ years of reasonable use) that one of them has pretty much died.

I think as long as you follow the instructions, they are a worthwhile investment. :)

I actually found the comments you made more offensive than the graphic. You can't justified website content by an info graphic claiming your viewers use the stuff you write about. I also find it suspicious that Facebook didn't appear on either side.

But then I have two PC laptops and a Mac desktop. Clearly the wild card.
