My worst consumer experiences in any store ever were in Apple stores. Literally they have the top three slots in worst customer service in my experience. I finally got wise and have abandoned all Apple products (especially that abysmally awful iTunes), and I've been much happier ever since.

I'm with Cartman on this one. Pre-orders are b.s.

No. The best thing about bacon is that it is CRISP, and there's no way you're going to get an edible 'bacon cube'. Bleh.

Don't feel bad. I heard the final boss in Crysis 3 was "too easy", and after dying nearly 50 times (lasting never more than a few minutes), I just gave up and accepted that I'm never going to be able to finish that game. I've even watched walk-throughs. It must just be me, but I think it's the hardest boss fight…

Nobody, eh? Is that why its usage share is consistently over 50% worldwide? Hrm...

IE doesn't port to other platforms. It runs on Windows only. If you're judging IE by the ancient version that last ran on OS X, then you're so far out of date it's not even funny.

No, even the faster part, for many sites (not all).

There is also an IR Blaster, just FYI.

IE11 actually is very good.

IE 11 does this as well, on Windows 8.1

Then you haven't really looked very hard. IE11 on Windows 8.1 is faster than Chrome or FireFox on many sites.

Old and out of date joke is way old and out of date.

Interestingly, virtually all of what you just listed is true of IE10/11

I'll tell you something... and maybe someone can educate me here... but I work with a lot of tabs, and I find it infuriating that Chrome doesn't have "MRU" tab order, so I can flip back and forth easily between two of the dozen tabs I keep open.

Actually, the Kinect 2 is a powerful IR source... it flashes out, and your cable box can read the reflection back from the walls, furniture, whatever. It's THAT bright. Of course, it's that bright in IR, so you won't notice.

DLC is also used to gain $$ from people who bough the game used. The development company gets ZERO dollars of that transaction, but they DO see money from DLCs downloaded using a used disc. It's one way to ensure the revenue stream doesn't totally dry up, and that the used game marked doesn't completely kill them…

I dunno. They had a hard launch deadline. They decided to deliver quality over quantity. It's almost a no-brainer that there will be DLCs that give you extra tracks and cars. Is this really that big of an issue? They'll be on schedule, and there will be DLC refreshes that make the game feel 'new' and extend its…

Surely you can admit that you're one of a TINY minority of people in the way you use things, and that your SPECIFIC usage scenarios are such that the default configuration shouldn't single you out for special consideration.

Xbox One has Titan Fall coming in the spring (THE killer exclusive), and also has exclusive voice, TV, multi-tasking, and app support that makes it a lot more than just a game console.

Multiplayer doesn't interest me in the least.
