I can't find any place, and have read that it's not true that you are clinically insane after 72 hours of not sleeping, but I think that should change. Our brains were just not meant to function under those conditions.

How could you be so negative! THEY HAVE A NEW FRONT PAGE!!!

There's no way these guys are doing anything wrong! It has music stuff and TV stuff on there!!!

Seriously, and because we are out with X and now on to Y means that Z (ALL of you) will need to pay A ($$$) so you can have the same great crap you did before, but now it's got music stuff and more stuff!!!

Yep, I think I’m sold!!! I'm officially quitting the internet!

Comment Re:Perhaps a Zune tablet (Score 1) 585

Microsoft makes Zune HD. I see no reason why it couldn't extend the brand to a Zune tablet.

This is probably the only thing from Microsoft that I really like and would promote to others from Microsoft. (Yes, I use windows, but only for gaming reasons) I've never heard/liked anything that goes along with ITunes or and IPod, and IMHO they got this product right. I've had mine for over two years, and had it in some very harsh weather conditions (140+ degrees), and still it works like it always has. Not like the rest of the guys I work with who have gone through almost 2 or 3 IPod's a piece! So they should expand on that market.

I think that their timing is incredibly too late in this game though. I'm sure that some of the innovations with X-Box Live onto the WP7 will make it a must for some people, but I'm not sure if those people would trade off their IPhone/Android for it. I believe IMHO that even if they got the phone right and made it a worthy competitor, that they are just too far behind the game to make a real comeback.

Everyone that I know is only talking about the IPhone or Android, and no one seems to even notice that WP7 is about to come out.

Funny enough I always remember as a child watching some of Gallaghers old skits and one in particular talking about the same topic...in reference to the words "good" and "food" and how they are pronounced. "Good" being pronounced [goo d] and "food" being [fu d]....so shouldn't it be [goo d] [foo d] or [gu d] [fu d]!

Always makes me laugh to think of how we can take something so natural (communication) and completely screw it all up!

Just write everything in code from now on, and I'm sure people (like me) will be too confused and dumbfounded to understand what you're saying, but then all the debuggers come out and flame it anyways, so I guess you're still screwed.

Funny enough that I'm from an English background and still don't understand spelling, but I do resort to spell check before every post so I don't get SLAMED by people telling me things wrong with my genetic code that I already know!

*sigh* If only I could talk through circuitry!

I agree with this (and many others from above about the same issue) that genetics play a HUGE role in defining a person’s brain and "wiring".

I come from a H.R. Manager and a Salesman...so unfortunately I have a great ability to read people and define them into work ethics, habits, and can use that to get desired results. What does this mean? Nothing really important, only that the abilities and traits held by my parents were passed on genetically to me, and as I have passed them on to my daughter. I see qualities of me and her mother surface daily.

I have even had instances of my father’s negative willpower come out of me for periods, so I would say that this could be passed on genetically as well. But I'm by no means any type of scientist or have any experience in this, but it's just what I've gathered.

Comment Bigger Issue! (Score 3, Funny) 200

This brings up a more alarming issue that I believe needs to be looked into before we begin walking around with cyborg parts attached. What if the machines have suicidal tendencies? I'm sure if I was attached to someone else and forced to do their bidding, then I wouldn't be too happy. Maybe his arm wasn't happy enough just being his arm! What if it dreamed of being a cell phone...and watching him talk blissfully on that beautiful piece of machinery just threw the arm over the edge!
