i worked lift operations at a ski resort for 3 seasons, and of all the things listed in the article, the worst has to be chapped lips. I would go through a couple of tubes of chapstick in a week... in the end i just started wearing a facemask whenever it was my turn to be outside...
Silent Hill 1 to 3 were fantastic... Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is great too (mostly because it's based on one of the best horror stories in history).
i believe google keeps the Beta label as a way of saying products are in constant development and can and will change without warning, usually for the better.
