Meh, I prefer a gamepad.

I feel that mouse/keyboard is a hack that only works for certain types of games. Games aren't meant to be played with mouse/keyboard, it just happens to be what everyone had laying around. It's also less comfortable.

I can understand certain types of games converging to a mouse-like control. However the keyboard is a joke for gaming. At least drop the keyboard and give me a real gaming tool for my left hand.

3D can be more immersive than non-3D, especially for action/B/popcorn movies, and TFA completely misses this point. It may have some negative effects, but these will be minimized just like with any other evolving technology.

The major gripe seems to be that the movie industry will make us pay more for 3D. Meh. This was the case when movies went from mute->sound, B/W->colour, VHS->DVD, DVD->HD, not smelly->smelly vision. As a tech writer, he should already be comfortable with paying more for useless flashy features.

So yeah, another tech writer crying for attention

You mean like iTunes?

I only 'used' Dell's low-power media software once, and that was just out of curiosity to see what it was. Once I knew, I never booted it again.

I didn't get to keep my glasses...

But so many applications do nothing more than contact a web service and display results. Like Shazam. There's a whole range of apps that blur the local/non-local spectrum.

The story was run of the mill. It was a 'get in and get out' story that we've seen a million times.

The characters were hollow and made no progression whatsoever through the story. Tron can be dismissed as an unfamiliar robot who makes a complete reversal for no reason whatsoever at the end of the story. Clue (not sure about the spelling) is a copy-and-paste villain :P. When the guy first meets his father living with the chick, the kid doesn't even ask who she is or why she is there. She's a glaring hole missing that you know will inevitably be explained, but when it is explained you feel completely cheated because he would have immediately been like "Who is this chick?" Even if you accept the sci-fantasy premise, the dialog is ridiculous at times.

So, what else is there to talk about? The visuals and sound were amazing. I give it 3.5/5

We call it 'skunk' they call it 'skank'.

I read the whole story in Geralt's gravelly voice.

Email clients are easily tabletized.

Lets be honest though. Would you really want to do excel sheets on a tablet? I mean, to bring an acceptable level of excel functionality to a tablet you'd need an insane amount of gestures/menus to compensate for the desktop interface. By that point it doesn't seem worthwhile. How many unrecognized gestures would it take before you hurled the thing across the room?

Chrome and Firefox prompt me to update Flash. It updates in a few seconds and I re-open my browser. Such a headache, right? /sarcasm

Agreed. Regardless of what technology wins, Adobe will supply the best tools to use it.

How is this insightful? Apple doesn't have to support or maintain Flash. It auto-updates anyway.

The net will be a much scarier place when you can't block those HTML5 ads.

I'd like to see a study that tests learning via hard-to-read fonts over a long period of time. My hypothesis? The learning decreases as the person gets used to reading said fonts. After all. You might find a font hard to read initially. But it will become easier to read as you get used to the font's patterns.

Lets feed the troll.

I'm a geek and I've never had any problems with runtime updates like Flash or Java. I've never heard any non-geeks complain about them either. Never needed to download any codecs. Never needed to think about updating. Never needed to use multiple browsers.

So lets get this straight. Having a customer go to a website an have a box saying "missing plug-in" is more customer friendly than the box actually work. Seamlessly. Without the user ever thinking about it. Right on.
