Another week means another gallery of reader comments for you to gaze upon. These words are like works of art that we get to reprint, for free! It's like taking a picture of the "The Creation of Adam" inside the Vatican even though a ton of signs indicate that if you do, an additional layer of hell may await you. I did it anyways, and the picture came out blurry. That's just my luck, I suppose.
In regard to Pew: One-third surveyed prefer texting to talking:
"Could you text me the poll results? I don't have time to read the whole rtkl." --by kovieaIn regard to Angry Birds Halloween getups so cool it's spooky:
"Do any of them come with a giant working slingshot?" --by solitare_paxIn regard to Nikon reveals svelte mirrorless ILCs:
"Even without looking at its weak specs, it simply looks awful. It fact, it looks like something they used to make in USSR forty years ago. I am a very disappointed Nikon user." --by sevortWe took a break from the giveaway circuit last week, but we're game-on again with the sleek and durable LifeProof iPhone 4 case in black.
As we said in our Top 20 tough iPhone 4 cases round up, the LifeProof Case's claim to fame is that it's very tough (waterproof, shockproof, dirt-proof, and snow-proof, the company says) yet it's slimmer than most of the other tough cases out there, with an integrated clear plastic shield that protects your screen (and, obviously, seals your iPhone into the case).
After trying it, we have to say it does strike an excellent balance between sleek looks and toughness. This one's drop-tested for 6.6 feet and can go underwater. The only downside is that it's expensive at $69.99.
So, how do you try to win this week's prize? Let us enumerate the basic rules. Please read carefully; there will be a test--as well as a strut down the catwalk. … Read more

Did you miss me? I was on vacation in Mexico last week so my colleague Tim Hornyak filled in with Crave in Comments. I know it was probably scary to have someone else behind the wheel, but don't worry; I have returned. Are you ready for some cunning comments from our Crave community? Buckle up!
In regard to Glowing kittens may advance AIDS research:
"Great! Instead of buying glowsticks, I'll just bring my cat!" --by NotjubIn regard to Sony officially details Android Walkman:
"Nice! I like a curvy rear ..." --by brickcityboyIn regard to Sony adds two new colors to PS3 Slim lineup:
"Crip or blood." --by Jay Two
It was only a matter of time before the Crave podcast was invaded by robots. Fortunately, this week's robot overlord is the insanely adorable, soon-to-be-available My Keepon robot by BeatBots. The pint-sized dance bot is joined by its co-creator Marek Michalowski, who explains the robot's origins and its road to commercial viability.

Last week I was at a certain establishment in Las Vegas than can only be described with that most pithy of adjectives, "douchetastic." I admire the creativity of whatever smirking scenester coined that gem, as well as the shiny nuggets that Crave readers shower us with daily. This week, Crave in Comments looks at borrowing toilets, Star Trek, and iPhone lunches.
Running along with It's about time: Nike sneakers go back to the future:
"We still don't have a working hoverboard. Just sayin." -- by ReVeLaTedHaunting the topic of High-tech ghost town planned for New Mexico:
"Now if the politicians would only be willing to pay for upgrading and repairing the existing American infrastructure...'" --by solitare_paxCongrats to Bryce M. of Tonawanda, N.Y., for winning a Davek Note Bag and umbrella in last week's giveaway. Now, on to this week's prize.
A few months back, we gave away $300 in custom men's shirts from ShirtsMyWay. This week, we're adding custom pants to our gratis-goods ensemble with a $400 voucher for jeans from custom clothing site IndiDenim.
If you win, all you have to do is head over to the site and unleash your inner jean designer. You'll choose the fit (relaxed, trouser); wash (dark, vintage tinted, distressed, and so on); and style (pockets, pocket embellishments, fly, hem style); and then add your measurements. Your dream jeans will arrive in about four weeks. If they don't fit perfectly, you can exchange them for jeans that do.
With jeans sold on the IndiDenim site generally running about $200 max, you'll be adding two new pairs of fancy-schmancy pants to your wardrobe. The site sells both men's and women's denims.
So how do you try to win this week's prize and live out your "Project Runway" fantasies. Let us enumerate the basic rules. Please read carefully; there will be a test--as well as a strut down the catwalk. … Read more
