Over at Toolsnob.com there are a series of very informative reviews of the new Bosch GLL2-80 ($269, Ohio Power Tool). This line laser offers duel 360 degree lines (horizontal & vertical) at a very reasonable price. For interior works this laser has become a viable option to the more expensive rotary lasers. ToolSnob worked with Bosch to get these lasers into the hands of professionals for real world application and reviews by real users.
from ToolSnob.com - If you recall, a bit ago we ran a contest where we gave out ten new Bosch Dual Plane Line Lasers to chosen readers so that they could review them for the site (our original review is here). We encouraged them to be hard on the tools and to be nothing, if not honest in their assessment. The selected readers ranged from tradesmen to DIYers. We asked that they also rate the laser on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best). Here is the first review...
Richard K. - 8 of 10 overall – Read Review
Adam B. – 9 of 10 – Read Review
Kimber of Kiva Construction – 9 or 10 – Read Review
with 7 more reviews to come!

Few things piss me off more these days than the carriers
taking advantage of Google's openness to load up Android phones with crapware and their own proprietary garbage. But you know, a big part of the problem is us. When Google CEO
Eric Schmidt was on stage during our TechCrunch Disrupt conference this past week, he spoke briefly about Google's thinking with regard to this issue with the carriers. He acknowledged that while yes, some carriers are loading Android phones up with their own software before you buy them, you have the choice not to buy those phones. Clearly, his mentality is that it's on us, the consumers, to vote with our wallets to show the carriers what we do and do not want. I have a bit of an issue with this line of thinking, but that's for another post. For now, let's focus on this -- are we to blame for bloat?
