    New Hardware!

    I'd rather have a harsh winter and a mild summer than a mild winter and a harsh summer. If I get too cold I can pile on more clothes. Can't invert that without an arrest.

    If they make one with backlit keys, I'm in!

    What Happens to Your Digital Goods When You Die?

    All my digital data is pr0n anyway and since tastes differ I doubt anyone but me would be interested in it.

    Pity the Poor Jurors in the Apple vs. Samsung Case

    You think they'll pay that? Nope, now it'll go to appeals.

    Microsoft Updates Company Logo

    They should go back to the second one.

    Microsoft Updates Company Logo

    I think it looks too simple. It reflects perfectly the dumbing down of our culture. The "Don't make me think" generation is making me ill.

    Pity the Poor Jurors in the Apple vs. Samsung Case

    As far as I'm aware, in the US the only thing a jury is required to do legally is hear the case and render a verdict. Writing a dissertation on the case or reading a novella on how to do their part of the job is asking a bit much for their $25 a day.

    Pity the Poor Jurors in the Apple vs. Samsung Case

    If I was a juror on the case and they handed me that crap I'd tell them to suck it.

    Did EA just send me someone else's e-mail?

    Odd. There's some idiot that keeps signing up for stuff using my email. As a result I get stuff from Apple (he registered his iPod to my email), EA, some erotic match making service and a few others. It's annoying as *%&$. If I could find the idiot I'd love to punch him in the face.

    Shouldn't We Embrace the Remix?

    You touched on the one thing that rankles me about the whole Apple situation. Jobs was pretty open about admitting to stealing ideas back when they were the new kids but now that Apple is the entrenched company with their fingers in all the pies, they want to burn anyone that has anything...

    Apple's Biggest Reason to Sue Android Vendors: Marketshare

    Wow. He said that profit wasn't it because they already make the most money. The amount isn't the issue after saying they had the most. As to the patents, he's right. There is plenty of prior art that the iStuff looks like. Science fiction has had touch pad devices in the hands of characters...

    Achievement whore? I've got a game for you!

    It won't run the Wingman... now I remember why it ended up in a box umpteen years ago. Yeah, on the KB and mouse it basically blows goats. I end up last every race. Sometimes by 4 or 5 seconds, others by nearly 40. Ah well, it was worth looking into. If I ever happen across a controller that's...

    Achievement whore? I've got a game for you!

    I can't get behind steering with the keyboard and firing with my mouse. I need to break out my ancient yet strangely pristine Logitech Wingman and try it with that.

    Acer CEO Issues 'Think Twice' Warning to Microsoft Regarding Surface

    I figure it'll last until they hit the break even point and recover their R&D costs back. Then, yeah, I figure it'll end up rolling out the doors of someplace like Acer or ASUS.

    Achievement whore? I've got a game for you!

    Hmmmm.... going to give it a shot. I play Creative Mobile's Drag Racing app on my phone and it's a fun game for a while then it gets repetitive.

    Acer CEO Issues 'Think Twice' Warning to Microsoft Regarding Surface

    JT Wang? Any chance his first name is Jack? Sorry, I digress. Acer and any of its competition that act butthurt over this need to realize that M$ is doing what they seem incapable of doing. Offering something new, fresh and innovative. When I say new and fresh, new and fresh for the windows...

    Windows 8 Style UI - It's Not Metro Anymore?

    They say the desktop market is dying. If it is why has 7 sold as well as it has? Oh, yeah because of the saturation of the market. M$ fails to realize that if they alienate the saturated desktop market, they're killing off a rather big sector of revenue. There's no reason that there can't be a...

    Windows 8 Style UI - It's Not Metro Anymore?

    How about Crap? Is the name Crap UI taken? Because if not, it's a perfect fit.

    About as fun as a monkey boffing a rolling donut.
