Sorry chief, but Apple already ran an advertising campaign touting the next iPhone killer, which turned out to be the iPhone 3G.

Also... video? Copy and paste? Do you know *anything* about the iPhone, other than that you hate it and its user base for some reason?

The problem here is that you're assuming the term "casual gamer" refers to people who play games casually when it actually refers to people who play casual games. The difference between the two is how interested someone is in learning how to operate two analog sticks, four shoulder buttons, and 4 or more face buttons just to be barely functional in a game.

A few years ago my dad told me that the NES he bought for my brother when we were kids was actually purchased for himself, and that he used to be really into video games back in the days of Pac-Man and Galaga, but he ended up giving the NES to my brother because he couldn't stand the idea of having to learn how to operate a D-pad and multiple buttons with two hands *at the same time*. When I was growing up he would occasionally balk at how games and the controllers are getting more and more complex for seemingly little benefit. These days I think he's addicted to a handful of online puzzle games and turn-based strategy games that only use the mouse. He is a casual gamer.

Casual gamers will generally see hardcore games as needlessly complicated. Hardcore gamers will generally see casual games as overly simple and thus boring. And thus, a divide was born.

I'm pretty sure I read about this exact thing years ago. Weren't there issues with the tongue being "low resolution" and interfering with eating and talking?

Since we're parading around misguided people's opinions as facts, here's another good one:

Competitors already exist: torrents. If Hulu screws up, people will give up and go back to pirating shows.

So cleaning the air for 70 years gives someone an extra 5 months of life? I was expecting something a little more significant than that...

...or did the glossy screen option used to cost more? How did they end up making matte cost more now? Are they just making up prices for their hardware instead of correlating it with the actual cost?

You'd just get companies either purchasing the items from themselves using dummy accounts, or you'd have them paying people to buy the item before reviewing.

You know ADD often reaches adulthood and affects women too, right? And that it isn't about just wanting to have fun, but is rather an inability to filter out external stimuli, like a ticking clock, which is sometimes serious enough to impede basic functions like the ability to store information from your short term memory or the ability to safely drive a car, right? Surely someone with an opinion as strong as your own would at least have a clue what they're talking about, right? Right?
