Some of us still think playing FPS and 3rd person games with a gamepad is awkward and horribly inaccurate.

I played the demo of RE5 and I STILL hate the controls on the console. The one that did it best was RE4 on the Wii. No RE5 there though, and it'd be butchered graphically if it was.

When someone goes out fishing and catches something nice? MMS. When someone gets the first big snow of the season? MMS. When someone sees a movie and wants to encourage or discourage others? SMS. When someone goes out to a particularly nice restaurant, or maybe to a place that has significance to the family? MMS. Got a question that doesn't need answering immediately? SMS. Just finished a good book? MMS.

Funny... thats exactly what I use e-mail for on my phone... gives the added benefit of having it on a computer too to reuse. Also doesnt cost me an additional fee a month or per message...

I fail to understand peoples obsession with MMS... sure every teenager on the block is doing it, and yes maybe your grandmother.

I OCCASIONALLY text message but only because I get 200 free on my first gen... but why would you CHOOSE to send data by a means that charges you upwards of a couple hundred dollars per megabyte to close to a thousand depending on provider or plan.

I forget the site but someone did a little research on it and posted a graphic recently displaying the relative cost per MB of data and it was ridiculous how much it actually comes out to be for text and MMS. Data connections were the cheapest followed by voice.

IE8 May Not Pass the Acid2 Test After All 434

dotne writes "CNET has published an article called Acid2, Acid3 and the power of default. The article predicts that IE8 will not pass the Acid2 test after all: '[Another] scenario could be that Microsoft requires Web pages to change the default settings by flagging that they really, really want to be rendered correctly. Web pages already have a way to say this (called doctype switching, which is supported by all browsers), but Microsoft has all but announced that IE8 will support yet another scheme. If the company decides to implement the new scheme, the Acid2 test — and all the other pages that use doctype switching — will not be rendered correctly.' Microsoft's IE8 render modes have been discussed here previously, and they've caused an uproar in the web development community. According to the scheme, authors must put Microsoft-specific <meta> tags into their pages in order for them to be rendered correctly. I doubt Acid2, nor Acid3 will have Microsoft extensions in them."
