Yeah, after a bit more research I found that out. I vaguely remembered hearing a rumor and the Google results seemed to be trending that way, so I added it to the list. My bad.

I don't own a PS3, but there are a few exclusives I've enjoyed when hanging out at a friend's and a few upcoming ones that are making me tempted (although I'll probably get a 360 because I'm involved in game dev and my company wants to try to branch to consoles with our 3D engine):
Metal Gear Solid 4 (it's coming out on the 360, but I strongly doubt it'll look anywhere near as nice)
Wipeout HD
Uncharted and Uncharted 2 (I thought they were lame when they were first released, but they grow on you fast)
Gran Turismo 5 (not out yet, but a definite exclusive)
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Fat Princess (don't knock it till you've played it, this shit is hilarious)
No, it's not the rest of the world's responsibility to fix IE.
It is a web developer's job to ensure that a website works for its users. I agree it'd be nice to give IE users the finger, but for the vast majority of business cases, it's nowhere near realistic.
Or the wigger.
So you're telling me that the Kindle is putting couriers and newspaper boys out of business?
The bastards!
They haven't branded it a "search engine" quite possibly for that reason. They call it a "decision engine."
So it is. Huh!
Of course they have a right to do that. And you have a right not to use their service.
Twitter's API returns tweets in chunks; it's not one call per tweet.
A slashdotting is not really an appreciable bump in traffic for Twitter. They have a lot of throughput at any given time.
Compared to Twitter's usual activity load, a slashdotting is not going to be that big a deal.
Civ games and, especially, Colonization (still among my favorite games ever) are effective teaching games because whenever you hit F1, you get a bit of historically-relevant fluff text as well as the help text. Most people will read it just out of curiosity.
You had to win to progress, even though they historically lost.
An icon, period. It's just a rounded corner, no icon.
Many Vista and Windows 7 applications don't have a traditional icon in the corner there. Windows Explorer, for example.
If you're an "advanced user", shouldn't you know the (unchanged) hotkeys? I mean, I'm a pretty heavy Office user, and I was apprehensive about the changes at first, but all the hotkeys still work and the ribbon is easier to actually find things that I don't already know about.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
