I understood his intentions immediately? I think you might just be in the skinny part of the bell curve :p

Gamers are sexy eye candy enough.

The unanimous cry of "This is stupid" restores my faith in the Lifehacker commentariat.

That is an example of what would have been a much more worthwhile post than "Make your mouse uglier and less practical with three hours of your time and Sugru"

Why was Nathan A. in the women's room?

I think you're being a little generous to World of Warcraft. I'm not trying to knock it down, but I think it's hard not to at least consider that it may have reached its sell-by date.

Getting old is when you don't buy games anymore, period.

If they didn't anticipate this, they're crazy.

In fairness, your name is Technical Knockout Knockout. Glass houses, stones, etc.

Because of all of those public domain TV shows and movies that everyone is itching to download?

You're not wrong, but I think that you may be misreading the intent.

I get it that not everyone is a "math person" and some people are turned off by the thought of doing arithmetic.

(1) Telling jokes that make other people uncomfortable is practically the definition of sexual harassment. Now, it's not just one-joke-and-you're-sued, but someone needs to tell you that it makes them uncomfortable and to stop. This is what she did.

iTunes on Windows has to be purposefully engineered to get you to buy a Mac.

Actually, no. I have an MBA, which is probably worse.
