Comment HP makes more than desk top printers (Score 1) 226

Keep in mind HP makes good large format inkjet and latex printers (of the 36" to 96" roll paper variety). The old 5000/5500 design jet series were warhorses. They generally have many more options than your desk top printer, and you use many of those options during production. The 5000/5500 series had a horrible interface. The newer 6100z and latex printers have not expanded much on that. I could see using WebOS would improve these printers greatly.

Anyone play the demo that is currently accessible to the consoles?

I recognize buildings and striped down neighborhoods but this has to be one of the worst recreations of San Francisco in video game history. It just feels completely wrong. The tiered street do not tier at intersections. The streets are ridiculously wide with some strange diamond pattern in the middle. What little of the city available in the demo feels flatter than the real SF. Did any of the developers ever drive in San Francisco? Too bad really, even striped down in size for a video game there are some excellent passages through the city that would be fun to drive in video game form.

I'm on a console, so the DRM thing is accepted, but I won't be buying the game because of the piss poor job they did recreating SF.

I find with frame and component quality, $500 - $600 is absolute minimum for a bike that will hold up. My next bike will probably run $1000 - $1200. A Trek Madone, which you will see quite often in packs of serious cyclists, range from $2000 - $11,000. Go to a good bike shop and lift a 14 pound race bike. Then lift a $300 - $500 bike. You will see the difference. If you were to ride both you would feel an even bigger difference...
