Dear Gadgettes Wonder Team,
I saw this on Boing Boing, which means you’ve probably seen it too. As both a tea-enthusiast and fan of the film Jaws, it appeals to me on a delicious, visceral level:
Keep up the great work!
Jonathan (and Alex sent it, too — thanks!)

Duncan:
Hi guys,
Duncan in New Zealand (Dunk0rz in the chatroom) here. While listening to yesterday’s episode and the story about aluminium iron-oxide paint to block Wi-Fi, I suddenly realized that aluminium iron-oxide also happen to be the most common ingredients in THERMITE, a highly explosive powder substance. Don’t believe me? Check out the Wiki!
Is anyone so paranoid about Wi-Fi mooching that they are willing to let there house burn at 4500 F, turning it into a blob of molten metal and ash…
Anyway,
Keep up the good work.
Hey Gadgettes,
I know that knitting isn’t exactly tech but its Wii related. Anyway, may I present, Mii baby gloves. Possibly the cutest thing you will ever see ever.
How frigg’n cute!!!!

Jason Howell takes
time from producing podcasts for CNET to bark (and sometimes sing)
unintelligable nonsense as an honorary Gadgette. 
i don't think/hope it ends up lasting a long time as other memes do. lol
I read your story from gadgettes and it occured to me Dong that you do not know the difference between a Star Trek transporter and a replicator. Although, it is theoretically possible to reorganize matter at a sub-atomic level as they do using the replicator in the ship's mess, I never understood how the transportation of matter from one location to another would be possible since you can't even get AM radio signals in a tunnel. I feel as old Dr. McCoy about having some dam machine scrambling up my atoms and then scattering them through space and finally reorganizing them at another location. I don't know about you, but I'm going to use the elevator to get on and off the ship and a smaller transport if I have to visit another planet.
