There was a big hoo-ha in Australia about 6mo ago where a 12 year old kid swallowed a bunch of them that were sitting on a high shelf in his father's locked study. So the kid, who is 12 and should have known better, went into his fathers office, climbed up the shelf, pulled down metal balls and proceeded to eat them. The mother went on to campaign for them to be pulled from Australian stores, which they were 4 months later.

Now the infuriating thing about this is that because of one *incredibly* stupid kid everybody doesn't get some awesome toys. My 26 year old brother in law is pretty annoyed because he spends a lot of his free time tinkering with big blocks of them and now he can't get anymore. These are not children's toys and it is foolish to ban them entirely because some dumbass kid was stupid. By that logic you'd have to ban every adult product on the logic that it was not safe for children

You know, you could just give it to one of us. We can take bad news. What the hell even is this? Some kind of game children played in the 90's where everybody won? I was under the impression that we were doing science.

And this *isn't* Facebook's business model?

I have a passion for vintage. For example I've got an old Commodore screen sitting right next to me on my desk from the early 80's - 10 years before I was born. The old gal works beautifully and I use her for my SNES, which is a bit younger. I've got all my first tech memories in this wonderful old screen! My dad taught me how to operate DOS on it in the 90's while I was growing up - and it played my first PC game - Warcraft 1. Ahhhh I love it.

Source please on the second statement.

I'm a professional critic as my sig says. So generally I'll get 1-2 titles to pull apart in a space of a week, which isn't easy at all. It's like doing a speedrun where you have to take in *all* the details. Not a lot of fun half of the time, but it's still a pretty sweet gig. I voted for 6-7 hours, so if you play more than a gaming critic you might have a problem!

Not to mention they gouge the vast majority of the profit- and they can do this because people want a bit of fruit on the back of their devices so they can say that they're better than you.

Cats. There are cats in my adblocker... Also wind and stuff. (for those Offtopic mods...)

Living in the future is so cool. Although it makes me wonder just how efficient this is. Looking at the video and how he switches programs, I've never really said to myself "you know, Alt-Tab could be a whole lot quicker and simpler." I can see the applications in things like CAD, gaming and such, giving another level of control to a 3D object represented on a 2D screen, and I know some designers who would love this stuff; but for the most part this is cool but not a huge leap in interaction for your everyday computing.

Please. No more portmanteaus with -onomics on the end. I automatically think of Regan.

This is also true. Factor that!

Dem's fightin' words Wikus!

that it's not over yet.

Someone will find a way to get it back to me. YOU'LL NEVER TAKE IT FROM ME!
