Exciting times we live in, when I can have 2 apps running at the same time, side by side on my desktop, and even resize them! C'mon, this is ground-breaking. Though I guess it's not entirely novel, since I could do this with EMACS (and presumably VI), but it's pretty cool to see in a GUI.

True, that said - EMACS is still pretty much the most advanced OS on the planet.

Meh - to each their own. The first three (Ender's Game, Xenocide and Speaker for the Dead) were entirely readable and even enjoyable. I personally thought Ender's Game was the most entertaining (the implication that any of them were cerebral is laughable) but could happily entertain the idea that other people might have enjoyed either of the other two just as much. The remaining ten books (with the exception of a couple of the short stories) I personally thought had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, but hey - that's what makes subjective opinions so much fun, hey? I should probably throw them at my daughter to read so that I can work out whether I've just got terrible taste in books :)

But new consoles (typically) have incompatible architectures which is much the same thing as incompatible game formats, just a little less visible right. It'll be interesting to see how things pan out in the future given that new consoles seem to have adopted a pretty standard x86 architecture.
