Crave in Comments: Now with more comments

Today, CiC has more comments than usual for your consumption. We're not sure what it is about the last week of Crave stories, but there have been even more great and amusing remarks from our community than usual. Some jabs and jives from our jesters:

Freshly minted in regard to iFrogz case protects your iPad 2, battery life:

"iFrogz? It sounds like some spyware process you find running on your girlfriend's computer." --by Donniebrasco

In regard to Tagg Pet Tracker hooks Fluffy up to Verizon:

"So this tracker is not good for dogs under 10 lbs. Just as well, those yap-yap dogs aren't worth tracking." --by wapalouse

In regard to Minecraft maker offers to settle suit with trial by virtual combat:

"This is the way all patient disputes should be settled.'" --by cristate67

In regard to 'Big Lebowski' cast reunites for Blu-ray release:

"I shall celebrate with a White Russian." --by Notjub

Crave in Comments: Flying iPads to Trek resorts

Take a look, in a Crave blog, it's Crave in Comments! Ok, that was a horrible rip off of the 'Reading Rainbow' song, but a boy can dream that his weekly feature will one day have its own theme song. What tune would you choose for CiC? Perhaps some classical, or maybe just the 'Benny Hill' theme song? Perhaps this is just a silly idea.

Hit the nail on the head in regard to Flying-iPad smuggling operation busted:

"You can't say that Apple products don't go zipping off the shelves now..." --by solitare_pax

Hit the nail on the head in regard to Device serves date-rape drug detection on the rocks:

"This won't work in hipster areas. They use date-rape drugs you probably haven't heard of." --by thebadhatharry

Crave in Comments: Facebook woe to toilet seats

When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. When Crave readers hand us comments, we make shiny blog posts showcasing the best and brightest. While the lemon drink might be a little more delicious, we still think you'll enjoy our selection of jocular jives.

Freshly squeezed in regard to A tale of Facebook woe: Nobody 'Likes' me anymore:

"Seems like more people are zuckered into thinking what's on Facebook is more important than anything else in their lives." --by solitare_pax

Freshly squeezed in regard to How to tweet like a man:

"This title is a paradox. Men don't tweet. They build engines, hang Sheetrock, and chew on scrap iron. BRB, going to rev a Harley in front of a Victoria's Secret Outlet." --by chronia

Crave in Comments: Swimsuits to soundproofing

Welcome to another rousing edition of CiC, where we reprint some of the best roasters, toasters, and boasters from the Crave community over the past week.

Did you like the fancy acronym? Many bothans died for that.

Anyway, it won't be much longer before it's time for the younger crowd to head back to school, a trusty sign that summer is coming to an end. Fortunately, here are some comments from our Crave readers that will (hopefully) put your mind at ease as you try and forget what I just said. Too soon?

Composed in Compostable swimsuits make a splash in Miami:

"I'd like to dive through HER dumpster, if you know what I mean." --by schattenteufel

Crave in Comments: We're seeing yellow

Say hello to another week of amusing comments from our thriving community of Crave comedians. It's always a pleasure to read over the thoughts those of you leave each week, some carefully constructed, while others are sharper than damascus steel and aimed right at the throat. I'm merely sensationalizing the situation, and there is of course a good group of nice people here, too.

Forged in Pee whiz! Pollee, a urinal just for the ladies:

"This is just one of those cases where having a ***** (male anatomy) makes life so much more convenient." --by SirSam25

Forged in Star Wars: The Old Republic preorders now available:

"You had me at HoloDancer...bye bye $80." --by caulksplosion

Commenting rules: Stay on topic, lay off the ads, watch for spam

Anybody who writes about technology on the Web owes a debt of gratitude to the knowledgeable readers who comment on our posts. Sometimes the comments are more informative than the original post, and they often lead to topics for future posts.

You might think I would object to the negative comments, but I learn more from the critiques than I do from the praises, so please keep the complaints coming. Many CNET readers are serious gearheads, and some of them will always know more about the topic of a particular post than I do. I sincerely appreciate these readers sharing … Read more

Crave in Comments: From sexy batteries to swimming cameras

There is never a shortage of comedians commenting on stories here at Crave. Once again, some of the more humorous comments left on Crave are under the microscope. We always welcome the serious stuff, but we also encourage everyone to leave lighthearted commentary if they're up to the challenge. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, after all.

Crave in Comments: Safe houses and sexy printers

Every week I spend time browsing through Crave comments to find the nuggets of gold our readers leave behind. While many of our stories elicit serious discussions, here are just a few cracks from this week that made me chuckle.

Found in FakeTV: Fool burglars into thinking you're at home:

"Burglars these days will kick your front door down while you are home. That's why I have security cameras and an H&K .45 USP with hallow points ready for any uninvited visitors/zombies. It's that or have Chuck Norris sitting on a rocking chair in the front yard. --by spurs32

Found in 15 sexy printers (yes, printers):

"My Canon i9900 has a real sweet rack ...of ink cartridges." --by schattenteufel
