@Wess28: What is that? Is that for real?

@theimmc: Doesn't matter. The point is that we have it, they don't. They would be fools to tarnish our economic relationship over a few rare raw materials, when eventually, they will be dependent on North America for "the elixir of life". If you think China isn't thinking about the inevitability of water imports, or…

@Elcheecho: Good point. Giz often puts pictures up that have nothing to do with the article.

@theimmc: In bottle form...

@theimmc: I mentioned "water" being what we hold back in a previous post. There is a major water shortage in China. North America is giant exporter of water...

@707kevin: Whats wrong with being Nationalistic? It definitely doesn't make one a money grubbing whore.

"It's like dark chocolate peanut butter cups topped with blowjobs."

@geolemon: China cares that we manufacture in China...if our economy takes a hit, their economy takes a hit...until either the U.S. stops manufacturing in China, or China stops taking U.S. contracts, both countries economic growth is dependent on the other...

@Monty: I wonder if that guy has any idea how much that shit is worth? You know he isn't getting paid shit for whatever he is doing either...

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.3: We have the hacking capability, lets just hack into their mainstream media outlets and do a 24 hour viewing of a repeating "Baby, Baby, Baby Owwwww". Good luck sleeping at night with that shit playing over and over again China....

@Facebook: Agreed. Not to mention China inflates the value of their "dollar". Just another on the list of things the corrupt Chinese government is involved in. The thing is, can we assume that India wouldn't pull the same stunt as China?

@moonshadowkati:

Let them keep the materials. I'd like to see what China can push out in terms of cell phones that they, themselves created, and not copied and renamed from our innovations.

@Erasmus 'Joe' Trail: Your assuming Bungie is going to create another blockbuster hit like Halo. I have faith in Bungie's talent, but im not assuming anything...

@yanipheonu: Everyone is putting their skeptical hat on for Kinect. People do every time something new and innovative comes around. I bet people laughed Einstein out of the room when he said it was possible to create a bomb that could level an entire city...

@-MasterDex-: Good questions and points. But we can't forget the fact, and the author of this article mentioned this, that Activision has the money and man-power to truly go back to its roots and develop new, unique, and compelling IP. We also can't forget that Blizzard is by no means hitting a wall in development…

SO is this going to be another week where I have to go searching for Kotaku Talk Radio? Is this still happening at the same time slot? Or do we have to wait for the podcast? I just feel like I missed the article that said KTR's schedule is completely random. I know that they are know longer with ChatAboutIt, but other…

@phatdog44: 10 stars would work better, agreed. 3/5 is the most confusing rating out there. Mathematically, its very simple, close to a F grade. But how each star is weighted when rating something seems to completely random and based on the situation. Most people look at 3/5 stars and see more filled in stars than not…

@BattleMoose87: I was kidding, merely pointing out the idiocy of making 3/5 stars into a 60% rating. Also the idiocy of having a star ratings system in general. This is America, we apply numerical statistical analysis to everything we do, stars are for kindergartners.

@dan.preiser: No one who read Balsillie's statement was really swayed toward RIM's side. I don't even know if that was his actual goal in making the statements. To me, it read like he was pointing out how hypocritical Steve Jobs was in his comments. Both CEO's spew garbage. Whose argument is better? Jesus Diaz will…
