I can't wait to patent my revolutionary technique of taking a dump while sitting down.

They seem to have taken a leaf from Valve's book with Team Fortress 2, but are taking it a step further by opening the development itself. If this works out well, it could have a lot of ramifications for the future of game development. I'll be happy enough as long as the lightning gun comes back. That thing made headshots so much more fun.

Yes, Linux is still a long way away from becoming prominent in that one particular area, but it certainly isn't having any trouble taking over everything else in the meantime. Every OS vendor is looking out their window and finding themselves surrounded by penguins.

I was such an AMD fanboy ever since I built my first (new) computer with a K6-II. I have to admit I miss the days of the Athlon being called "The CPU that keeps Intel awake at night." After Bulldozer bombed so thoroughly I just gave up and haven't followed AMD's products since. I definitely wouldn't mind a comeback, if they can pull it off.

For all of the books and documentaries that worship Steve Jobs as our technological lord and savior, I would like to see one dedicated to pointing out just how much of an unscrupulous, narcissistic bastard he was. It's amazing how much people are willing to sweep under the rug when you give them shiny things. It would have been interesting to see how things turned out for Brendan Eich, had he been the same kind of media darling.

Sticking with XP would be a bad idea even if Microsoft were to release updates ad infinitum. Even since Windows 7 surpassed XP in market share, I still encounter several times more infected XP machines than Windows 7 ones. Updates are band-aid fixes that don't change the fact that XP was released just before the advent of ubiquitous broadband, and is fundamentally unsound when it comes to security.

I would still have a hard time getting too angry with the USPS. Not sure why.... Oh cool, my electric bill can go paperless now.

The worst part of this is how they allow this nonsense in the name of protecting the free market. The Internet as it has existed up until now has been the purest free market in history, and now they are going to slowly flush all of that down the toilet just to further widen the telcos' already hilariously fat profit margins.

Ideally, net neutrality should be something that is passed into law by congress. Too bad that doesn't have a snowball's chance against a cash-fueled, industry sponsored flame thrower in hell.

Nice how so many of these old consoles work just fine with just a little TLC. Even with the NES you can buy a new 72-pin connector and make it work like new.

A calculator older than me which I inherited. Many calculators have come and gone but this thing has survived much time and abuse. I always liked it's glowing LED numbers, even if it takes two AA batteries to power it.

This would be hard to take seriously even if it wasn't peppered with so many canned marketing buzzwords. Even if another automaker manages to outdo Tesla (highly unlikely at the rate they are going), it will only be because Tesla blazed the trail that terrifies the existing automakers so much that they wouldn't venture it even when GM had a perfectly good all-electric vehicle over two freaking decades ago. I hope Tesla buries all of them, and Mercedes would be a good start.

Said no one ever.
