"maybe be less angry at Apple and more angry at the entire economy for leaving you (and many of the rest of us) behind. Looking forward to the denunciations of every automaker who uses luxury brands to drive innovation that shows up in non-luxury vehicles, etc. "

""Rain Noe is a writer and industrial designer based in New York City." <— seems like this is out of date? Nice piece…I like stories like this, of inventions or innovations based on a real practical need that work. "

"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wunibald_Kamm deserves better than this. Do these geniuses really think they can outsmart Toyota or Honda engineers with wind tunnels and every other tool needed to tame turbulence? "

"Any way to share these without Facebook getting their hooks in it? My tracker blocker doesn't let that stuff happen so I can't see this. "

"Ugh. The "bracket" on a paintbrush is called a ferrule. The "bar" in a hinge is a pin. Some handy tips, to be sure, but those flubs made me wonder just how handy the presenter was. "

"are penetrating oils not available there? or are the different formulations of WD-40? It worked, but I'm not sure how much was the WD-4 and how much perseverance. Nice work, though. "

"In either role you could put something under the switch, something that continues the curve of the machine or rests on that protruding tongue, to prevent a cup from resting there.  "

"Not sure about the "dugout canoe" reference. I think skin boats were more common (kayaks, umiaks, etc.). "

"I cook every night and have for years so I have some experience to draw on. I think this or the gear-driven one mentioned below are interesting, and not just for camping or outdoor use. I agree this one does look a little lightweight and possibly hard to manage for someone with dexterity or strength challenges. Clamping to a countertop, like a pasta machine, might help there if the clamp was easy to use (large knob, etc.). I think the pluses are:• the control, as there is no way to pulse a [name brand] food processor with this much granularity,• ease of cleaning, as it looks smaller than most similar products, easier to fit in a dishwasher or wash by hand, no funky latches to deal with, • and it's quiet. I agree on the durability concerns as well. I wonder if the cord-drive could be replaced by the mechanism used in salad spinners (press down the central handle and that drives the mechanism). That's also geared. And I think it would be an easier mechanism for those who need it but it would need to be braced/mounted. "
