I know music games are are now passe, but come on Activision, your going to have to try harder that this to get our money again.

I had it the other day mixed with bananas, Strawberries, Herbal Nutrient Blend, Soy Protein, Turbinado and Honey. Best Smoothie ever!

I really do not care... People act like the Pi is some revolutionary thing, the likes of which, have never been seen by human eyes. Whoop... De... Do... Go smoke your fish pie

Nrotice the button and LED. The black controller cable just ends at the connector. I bet this is some sort of fake cable where the proceeds go to some dark power.

There is something strange about this cable. Check the enlarged image on Best Buy. Notice something strange? Some strange plastic case with LED lights on it? It looks like a 1980's vcr corded remote image superimposed onto a regular HDMi cable.

For Christ's sake it's the day after Christmas... Don't you have some toys to play with or something?

If I send an email to a co-worker via Blackberry that contains proprietary company or government information, there is a possibility that the data is now in the hands of a third party. I may now be liable for criminal and civil penalties because of this shared data... or not. the entity that did share it most likely would though.

I am looking at this from the point of view of a large corporation that uses Carrier IQ infected hardware (Blackberry's) as part of doing buisness. There is a lot of proprietary, confidential information that falls outside of the scope of personal text messages. Insider trading comes to mind. In addition, as a employee of a large defense contractor that uses a LOT of blackberry's, I am sure there must be some rule of law that would prevent Carrier IQ from gathering ALL that information, from CEO down to engineer, and handing it over to another defense contractor.

There will always be a "top 5 percent", sot they will eventually throttle everyone to 0.

They waited till Friday to announce this. Bad news is best broken on Fridays.

So, if slashdot's TOS required the abandonment of your first born, you would be Fine with that? I Know you just want to post on this site soooooooo bad, that you do not give a flying flip over the TOS until it's too late and the slash van is pulling up outside your house.

Music while on hold...

"Hello this is the IT department, what can I do for you today?"

"I need help FAST! I am trying to take advantage of the Facebook IPO, but my transaction is not going through the purchasing software!"

"I'm sorry to hear that, let me take a look on my end... OH, Ah, Oh, I see that your purchase amount is above the IT department's trading policy limit, so the order can not go through"

"THIS IS NOT ITS JOB TO DETERMINE THIS!! THIS NEEDS TO GO THROUGH IMMEDIATELY! TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!!"

"According to policy C-1474, all transactions above $5000 will need to be put through IT's weekly security and trading meeting."
v "WHEN'S THAT!"

"Thursday."

"WHAT THE F***"!"

"Sorry for your frustration. I have started a problem ticket in the system... the ticket number is four, Seven, Three, Two, DEE as in Delta..."

I view this as just one more example of the price everyone has to pay due to the closed, non-competitive, proprietary cable box. Scientific Atlanta? Wow, they are such huge powerhouses in cutting edge technical solutions. Imagine a world where the big electronics players all competed in the marketplace with set top boxes. Wow, I might no longer have to wait 15 minutes for my cable box to reboot, or deal with pathetic menu designs. Power reduction would fall into these designs as just another marketing tool.
