This is really quite nice. Many of these desktops are just overjammed with bad fonts and googaws, but this one is tasteful *and* useful. A great combination.

My wife and I are total Xanadu fans. "Suddenly" was our first dance at our wedding.

DL is gorgeous, but do you know when it was last updated? They don't datestamp their release notes, and the site is dated 2008. I played with it for a while a couple years back, but when they stated that they'd probably never support comic books, I moved on.

Awesome deal — just did this right now. $180 for my 32GB iPhone 4 is just fine with me.

Thanks for the John Hodgman link, Lauren. I had forgotten about that TAL episode, but found myself laughing out loud again. Great start to a weekend. :-)

I think so. Great storytelling and voiceover work, an open-ended skill system that gives you lots of flexibility, and some really fun mission mechanics. Absolutely no reason for anyone even mildly interested to pass up the upcoming three-day free trial. I bought it, and I love it.

I just pretend that everyone died in the plane crash. That makes the ending (and the entire series) much better for me.

I'd wager that some folks, even at this point, are still waiting to complete a playthrough in the hopes that Bioware will expand and change the ending (Extended Cut notwithstanding). I can appreciate the sentiment, but I think those holdouts are going to be waiting forever.

Love my Roku. Wife tells me it's the best $100 I've spent on a gadget in a long time. I love the idea of the AppleTV (with all the Macs and iPhones in the house), but it just doesn't offer enough to compare.

Wholeheartedly agree, and the way we've watched Supernatural has directly powered my feelings. We've never watched the show live; I've read enough about it here, so my wife and I decided to jump into it on Netflix.

This kinda sucks. I've been looking for a good Mac Mail replacement for my wife, but with both Thunderbird and now Sparrow at end-of-life, we're running out of options here. I've already taken the plunge and bought Sparrow, so hopefully what it does now will be good enough.

Since you probably want to maintain all that good work you did in Parts 4 + 5, maybe move "Back up your Mac" from Part 3 to the bottom slot?

Yep. That's how Walter, Etta, and alt-Desmond escaped the Massive Dynamic facility after reintegrating the errant parts of Walter's brain.

I'm sure not this means obsolescence. When they switched from mac.com to me.com, your old mac.com address still worked (and still does — I still use mine regularly). So I'm hoping this means that if you now tack icloud.com onto your existing ID, the previous two domains will still work as well.

These are fantastic. Seeing Big Barda walking around the quad would be an amazing site, indeed. :-)

I'm assuming it's the medical scanner attachment that's part of a medical tricorder. McCoy always waved it around his patient and then checked the results on the tricorder.

I avoid 3D movies like the plague, so adding another "dimension" won't pry my wallet open.

Love that wireless Bluetooth keyboard, but I need a numeric keypad. Has anyone seen something aesthetically comparable that they've had good results with?

The Penclic mouse looks pretty cool. My wife was just diagnosed with tennis elbow (not caused by tennis, but by mousing), so making a change to something like this could be really helpful.

I'm reasonably sure this will *never* happen... but how about some DLC that shows us what the hell happens to Shepard after a 5000+ War Assets Destroy finish? There I am, on Earth (maybe?), breathing (I think), so... what now?
