Recognizing sarcasm isn't really your thing I suppose.

Really? I know several people who use Linux and Win 8 on a regular basis. They will definitely be giving Steam for Linux a go as well.

...but we are in the process of moving to VOIP. Other than work I haven't used a Landline phone in almost a decade.

Inevitably people occassionally forget to switch to silent mode in theaters, meetings etc. I guess this feature would be nice to have but nothing to really get overly excited about.

...because in my opinion it's lame. The price to go see a film is already ridiculous and now they want to make everything more expensive to see for a few moments that may or may not enhance the experience based on your viewpoint. Not only that but it still requires you to wear glasses for the entirety of the film. No thank you.

Nobody here stated or implied that 'popular = automatically rubbish'. The idea that 'popular automatically meant not rubbish' was being refuted. Which someone clearly did imply.

Great point. He probably also thinks that Miley Cyrus is a fantastic singer/musician.

I bought an original at launch and the when it died they sent me a new one for free. When that died they sent another one for free and when that died they wouldn't help any further and I said good riddance.

Did I state I would again be a 1st generation adopter of anything they make? Where did you read that? I'm saying if they make a really nice piece of hardware that proves itself and is a market leader I may purchase it. As for now we are happy with our PC and original PS3 which has never given us any issues.

You sure make a lot of assumptions but I guess I shouldn't expect any less from an Anonymous Coward Clown.

Dan, not all models run as you describe unfortunately. I went through 3 originals that MS replaced and they all were loud and as hot as hell disc or no disc. When the third one died and MS wouldn't replace I gave up. Maybe I'll try one of the new models some day but I'll probably just wait until the next-generation. Hopefully MS can do a lot better with the first round of hardware this time.

until I read:

"...The only major catch is that it can't be the only set-top — you'll need at least one DVR at another TV in the house to enjoy one of the four HD streams that could be funneled into your home."

This lead me back to the fact that it's still AT&T and they will never get another penny from this guy.

Yet both of your posts were modded higher than the original. Wow.

I personally think this is indeed the sweetest raft ever! Love the great orange color so no cops mistake it for a bazooka and let off three clips of ammo into your chest. :)

Notice how he hasn't answered a single one of these replies? Probably because he is a iOS/Android fanboy who has no idea what he is talking about.

If you don't like Symbian then you should be pushing for Maemo or MeeGo.

..a fake /. story posted as a beautiful "set" for unlimited +5 Funny "spikes" for everyone?

If it isn't then this will make a great "Really?" segment on SNL's Weekend Update.
