Has Apple Created the Perfect Board Game Platform? 531

andylim writes "recombu.com is running an interesting piece about how Apple has created a 'Jumanji (board game) platform.' The 9.7-inch multi-touch screen is perfect for playing board games at home, and you could use Wi-Fi or 3G to play against other people when you're on your own. What would be really interesting is if you could pair the iPad with iPhones, 'Imagine a Scrabble iPad game that used iPhones as letter holders. You could hold up your iPhone so that no one else could see your letters and when you were ready to make a word on the Scrabble iPad board, you could slide them on to the board by flicking the word tiles off your iPhone.' Now that would be cool."

Comment Agreed: keep "living" discussions visible! (Score 3) 322

From my earliest Slashdot-lurking days, I've wished that the interesting, lively debates didn't get whisked off the front page and into oblivion so soon.

Imagine a page or pages, linked to Slashdot's front page, called:

- Current "Liveliest" Discussions: ordered by comments/minute
- Week/Month/Year's Hottest Debates: ordered by total no. of comments
- Active Debates: "old" articles with recent comments (ordered by "recency"?)

Etc... other criteria are possible.

Wouldn't this add a fascinating static element to Slashdot? Eventually certain discussions would emerge as "Slashdot's All-Time Great Debates" , with thousands of comments from a period of years. Set your threshold to +30 to savor the distilled, democratic wisdom of 30000 slashdotters ;-)
