It is important to understand not all correct answers are useful answers, if given in the wrong context. For example, last month, I was driving one of my friends home. On the way back, my radar detector signaled an alert. "What is that?" she asked. "Well," I explained. "This is a radar detector. Basically, a radar detector is a superheterodyne receiver, which receives radio signals at a high frequency, and uses a local oscillator to do frequency mixing in order for it to produce a fixed intermediate signal for easier digital signal processing." I then went on for about five more minutes, talking about how radar works, the difference between X band, K band, and Ka band, as well as their corresponding signal propagation characteristics. At the end of my explanation, she looked at me and asked, "So, what does it actually do?" to which I replied, "Basically, it detects police." As you can see here, while I gave a correct answer practically good enough for most upper year Electrical Engineering classes, the context of which I gave it in rendered it almost completely useless. Back in 2006, I reviewed the XTracPads Ripper XXL, a super large mousepad sized at 914mm by 457mm. At first, like my friend I was driving home, I thought it gave the correct answer to a question nobody really asked, making it more ridiculous than useful. Over the years, with new desks and new configurations, I have found its context, quickly propelling it to be one of my favorite mousepads of all time. In 2011, I reviewed the revised XTracPads Ripper XXL, which featured anti-fray edges and a new surface coating. Today, we will take a look at the 2014 version of the same product. According to XTracGear, their latest version is "100% refreshed". With the context nicely defined, will it continue to be both the correct answer and useful answer in the world of surfaces? With the third revision sitting in our labs for the last two months, it is now time to present our findings.
