And you thought bee venom was expensive? Just wait until you see the prices of HP 3D Printer Bee Venom Cartridges.

I don't know about the latest portables, but in the past Nintendo's offerings were always stronger than the competitors where it counts on the portable front: battery life.

I owned the Dreamcast and actually loved it. Quite a few really fun games for it. That said, their VMUs were tremendously underutilized. Granted, they were nothing like a tablet but they could have been much more. It wasn't never going to be the VMU that would make or break the Dreamcast, though. It's a much different situation compared to the Wii U

That's what she said?

We need to lump all these lawsuits together into one giant class action lawsuit. Then Google can award every android user a $10 coupon off their next android...or is it $10 off their next iphone?

Often imitated, never duplicated!

Full disclosure: what I'm about to say is largely me playing devil's advocate because I personally don't have the ipad's storage likely wouldn't be much of an issue for me personally, but back when data was more expensive/scarce I could relate to what I believe the other poster is referring to.

I've found that transferring a large amount of data is a pain. Yeah, you can connect your ipad occasionally to your computer to swap out your media...but it's a pain and is unlikely to happen on a frequent basis. Most people are going to put their most viewed media on there and call it good until they get bored of it because it's just not worth the aggravation to figure out what you want for the next batch and wait for the transfer to occur.

So for long trips planned well in advance, you're right. SD cards don't really offer much over simply planning the huge chunk of what you're likely to listen to/watch and not have to hang on to sets of SD cards that you're unlikely to touch anyway.

Where SD cards can be nice is for shortish-medium length trips decided on the spur of the moment. You have to make a last minute trip into the city and you're going to have grumpy kids stuck in the car during traffic. You don't have to leave a bunch of kids movies/games on your ipad all the time in case of emergencies like this. You don't have to take time to transfer GBs of kids movies or take time to sort out which ones all the kids will agree on...just grab the Kids Movies (1 and 2) SDs and Kids Games SD and run. You might even leave those SDs in the kids' backpack and forget about it.

Your wife's heading out to something (doctor's office, business meeting, etc) where there's significant wait time involved? Toss her the Chick Flicks SD and the Enya Style Music SD and she'll thank you later. You don't have to keep those things on your tablet at all times and you don't have to spend time transferring GBs of data. Without the SDs you'll frequently find yourself deciding it's not worth your time and do without the sudden craving of media X. Especially when you still have quite a bit already stored on your tablet already. You'll just make do with what you've got and since it's your personal favorites, most of the time it won't feel like a huge sacrifice. But over time you may find you've missesd out on a lot compared to Joe Schmo who has the flexibility of physical media.

Again, I think the size of portable drives nowadays make this issue relatively moot for people like me who don't have huge amounts of media anyway. That said, I imagine there's definitely people out there that have a large enough library with eclectic enough tastes that physical media is still valuable.

Meet Power Glove, meet UForce?

Weird. I did a search for Poe's law on bing and it came up with zero results. I can't remember the last time I did a search and got zero results.

It leaves you liable when your father's kiddie-porn is discovered by the feds.

That's what she said.

This is the UK. You better find a way to disable all the cameras before even considering stealing them.

Like there's any chance of him getting the nomination at this point. Maybe it's time to pack up and return to his day job.

I got one of those FreePCs. It was actually a decent computer for the time. Before a year was up the company went bankrupt or something and they sent information on how to remove the ads. I was a poor student at the time and never could have afforded a computer of that quality at the time.
