You can throw Thief 3 into that bag as well. We went from huge levels in Thief 2, with seemly endless places to explore, to tiny little city blocks with ghost like floating fog separating areas. Seen by a guard? No problem! Run unto the ghostly fog and you're good to go in the next area. Talk about taking the player out of the game.

Comment Re:Convenience is the biggest factor (Score 1) 178

The strength of buzz is it's too convenient NOT to use. It's also a solid alternative for people who for various reasons can't or don't log into facebook from work.

That's it exactly. I don't use either Facebook or Twitter just because of the hassle and my own time constraints. I do use Gmail however, and have loved Buzz as a quick and easy way to see what all my friends and family are up to. I don't need to log into anything else, it's all right there with my email. I may be in the minority, but I love Buzz for the convenience alone.

I think it's an interesting idea, and certainly headed in the right direction. Having had one of the early mp3 players back in the day, it was a relief to deal with the iPod just because of the simplicity of the interface.

What we really need is a 'mouse gesture' like control for your headphones. That way the user could customize their controls to whatever they wanted. Now THAT is something I would buy... but then that would probably prove too complicated for the average user. Never know though...

Comment What if...? (Score 2, Insightful) 173

Great idea, but what if you listen to music with only one ear? I work in an office environment where people regularly interrupt my coding work. As a result, I have taken the habit of listening to my music with only one ear bud. That way I can hear whenever someone is trying to get my attention, but can still listen to my alternative rock to my heart's content.
