I don't consider myself a feminist by any means, but I imagine it's a bit frustrating that a discussion of a male CEO rarely ever involves talking about their looks, yet it's one of the primary topics when discussing female CEO's.

I know it probably doesn't mean much from some random guy on the internet, but I've derived a tremendous amount of joy from this site. Thanks so much for your efforts here. I do hope that you update cmdrtaco.net w/ you find out what your next endeavor is!

I advised Abbott to put her cell phone away

If she sues, this will be the part that screws the officer. She was in a public place, there was no expectation of privacy (in fact, given that it was a TSA screening, quite the opposite). I'm surprised that he even wrote it down in the police report.

It's only not as bad as it sounds if you actually thought that the hdmi cable police were going to beat down your door. For everybody else it's *exactly* as bad as it sounds.

Agreed - they totally screwed over their entire user base and as a consolation prize they are offering more of the same. In fact, I bet that acceptance of this "Complimentary Offering" is contingent upon agreeing to not sue Sony or take part in any class-action lawsuit.

I doubt that an ARM version of windows would ever wind up in a Desktop (or laptop). Could be that they are attempting to create a more tablet-friendly version of windows than what you get with Windows 7. You could get away with Office on something like that.

Personally though, I suspect that there's less of a story here than people think. They are probably just going to reveal a newer version of Windows CE. Big deal.

I agree. Retina display resolution on a desktop would be great, but since most desktop displays have worse dpi than a Nintendo DS I'd be willing to settle for 147dpi. And I'm guessing that 200dpi on a 30" is totally doable on displayport.

Big screens aren't getting higher DPI because (a) it's not needed (generally, you're looking at a big screen from a few feet away, and 100 dpi is more than enough)

I disagree. Try turning off antialiasing on a 100dpi display and then tell me if it's "more than enough".

All of your content gets loaded onto Blizzard's infrastructure. There is no local storage. If they don't like your map/gametype -- for any reason -- they can wipe it from existence. Why do they do this? Because they can .

Because we can. Literally. We have a support department now of size and ability to enforce these types of things. --Bashiok, Blizzard Community Manager

Seriously. I don't think I can tolerate slow trickle of news that leads up to the 2016 release date.

Okay, but if there's any GIRLS there I wanna DO THEM!

Perhaps someone will finally make a proper bluetooth remote that works with the PS3? I find it hilarious that Sony doesn't allow you to use BD Remote with the most popular Blu-ray player on the market.

Well, it's around the same price point as a iPod touch, and I'm guessing that Nintendo views that as it's real competitor. Still, I agree that the price seems high.

...at least with the thing on you wouldn't see the people staring at you like you were a weirdo.

...or homeland security storming the vehicle, for similar reasons ;-)

I can see this going to $250 in the USA, but the price still seems high. Is this the first time that Nintendo has priced a portable higher than a console equivalent?

Of course, I suppose the term "equivalent" is a bit shakey. It's easy to draw a comparison between the DS and the N64, but not so much with the 3DS.
