I'm pretty sure I saw a 3D printed rifle already. With that you can get anything else useful that you want. 'Nuff said.

Sounds like an excuse to upgrade to the SIII ;)

I like my black mini-Zune. Things it can do that iPod can't? It has radio, I can sync music to it via WiFi, without having to unplug it from my entertainment center, I can play music from it on my Xbox, wirelessly, oh, and I can control volume and songs with my gloves on, or through the cloth of my pocket. It is an amazing piece of hardware, which was killed by elitist simpletons not willing to get past their Twitter-feed bias and actually try something everybody else doesn't want.

As a Canadian, I can tell you that Canadian strippers hate Americans and their dollar bills. Minimum Canadian tip is $5 - tossing coins on stage will get you thrown out :)

Oh for crying out loud, it does not compete with tablets, they're not even in the same ballpark. It runs a full-blown desktop OS, and has a hardware keyboard, which makes it an ultrabook competitor, if anything. A convertible ultrabook competitor. What are you going to compare next, PSP and Xbox 360, cars and scooters, cats and dogs?

When was the last time you have heard of the red ring of death, and what is wrong with Zune hardware?

And have keyboards stuck to them.

That's what took them so long to confirm the discovery - they were checking to make sure it wasn't a contamination from the rover.

Finally it makes sense what US is doing on Mars! Same thing they're doing everywhere else - getting their hands on the oil supplies under any pretense possible.

I don't think it will happen. Microsoft likes to try their own weight in growing markets. Sometimes they fail (Zune) sometimes they win (Xbox). They only acquire established products (Skype), which BlackBerry is unfortunately no more.

Oh please, like it's not obvious what fanclub the underhanded comment in the parent came from.

Not sure, I don't have the same problem with Canadian BestBuy, for example. We'll see what happens when Target finally converts all the Zellers stores they bought up in Canada.

What bothers me is if Apple/Google came out with this first, the fanbois would soil themselves screaming how epically awesome the feature was and how they couldn't imagine surviving without it. In fact, I am certain that once Apple/Google comes out with this, they will proceed to do just that, not forgetting to claim that it was an unheard of innovation that their respective object of worship was first to release. Meanwhile, most reliable communication devices, along with most of the innovation that paved the way for the "cool" devices, are quietly being developed by the "uncool" RIMs and Nokias of the world. *shrug*

Where's Dexter when you need him :)

As blahplusplus pointed out, Amazon.ca has but a fraction of the product selection of Amazon.com and charges more for the same products it does have. Even the review systems are different for identical products. It also doesn't honor Amazon.com gift cards. They may as well be different companies.
