Actually with his piloting skills, they should be hiring him to train soldiers on drone flight.

Points well taken, but I meant in the context of the consumer market. Something I should've made clear given the coiner of the phrase, I suppose.

Still slated for springtime 2011 release last I heard. I'm fairly excited about it, for all of Palm's faults, WebOS really was something.

I just recently got the chance to watch T2 on bluray, I'm still amazed at the CGI in the film. I'm not certain if it's because it's comparatively "simple" effects or if it was just more tasteful use of the tool but it stands up a hell of a lot better than many more expensive/elaborate CG used in recent films. Some of the traditional FX appliances look like appliances but they did back then, too. OTOH, some are amazingly seamless, like the chest appliance for the bar scene.
Is it waxing romantic or did they just put more effort into FX back when they had to, and now they just throw money at ILM?

"The network is the computer" wasn't wrong it was just too early. I'm not sure Google isn't too early themselves, but they've certainly got the brains for it.

I grabbed a 10-day trial just for the hell of it. Hadn't played since the first year. Mounts at Level 20? That's freaking awesome. Half the annoyance I had with the game was walking all over hell and creation. There's a lot of stuff that the old players that have stuck with it bitch about, saying it's noobifying the game. As someone who played back then but quit, I'd say they just took a lot of the plodding dredge out of it.

I was going to post that cyberpunk's been dead a few times but then I remembered that Asus' cyberdeck FINALLY launched. And I, for one, welcome our console cowboy overlords.

Those are the big three, in my mind, that stop people from watching tv. You're either sick of the current lineups, too busy to veg out, or loooooove telling people how you don't watch tv. The advanced variant is "I don't even OWN a tv!"
I'd rather spend time on other hobbies, especially with the ridiculous price of cable, but sometimes it's nice to do nothing but watch Kirk punch some guy in the back for the hundredth time.

I figure it would be a cool way to keep track of players who weren't douchebags when playing board games on idevices. The problem is, there aren't that many classic board games that actually allow for free/random play online, most tie-in with facebook. On top of that, the list of gamecenter-enabled games is pretty crappy, a whole hell of a lot of press-button-receive-cookie games. :(

How about bluetooth controller support ffs.
No controller support is the real reason why Nintendo shouldn't worry about iOS competing with their handhelds seriously.
