Comment Just bring back the Trackball Explorer! (Score 1) 156

The single most perfect input device ever created was made by Microsoft: the Trackball Explorer. With a futuristic, ergonomic shape (it's the navigation control for Moya) that's comfortable to use all day, I can't believe they still stopped producing them.

All they need to do is bring this back with Bluetooth a few other touch-sensitive features, and I would be estatic. Not having to pay $400 for a replacement when my current one eventually dies would be nice, too.

Comment I have to disagree with something (Score 1) 87

Not everyone was convinced of Minecraft's merits at first. The composer, Nitin Sawhney, who was also on the panel, was critical of its soundtrack.

Really? The subtle, subdued nature of Minecraft's soundtrack perfectly matches it's visual aesthetic: silence interrupted by brief punctuations of tension.

You find yourself deep underground, alone but for a single torch lighting a dim hallway, and suddenly out of the silence erupts a sharp note of dischord? You will shit your pants.
