" Yet the only reason anyone would wear a top like that is because they want to be seen."

This is one example:

That's... not really true. You need two usb ports to use a hard drive that *doesn't have its own power source*. If you use one that normally plugs into the wall, then you're good with only using one port

You could always spring for the couple bucks to get a USB SD card reader and then use that.

Let's see... for an XBox 360, the 4GB model can be had for $180 and the 250GB model for $339. So you're paying $160 for the extra 246GB. A 1TB USB HDD to add onto the basic can be had for ~$90. So you're complaining that for ~1/2 the cost difference you get more than 4x the storage?

"But the gamepad is nothing but a massive negative to me that will prevent me from ever purchasing the system."

"There was a time expension packs cost 20-30$ and now we're seeing the cold reality of SC2"

Tablets have more RAM, but it's much slower. This makes sense based on the type of device; a full operating system that runs and multitasks multiple applications needs more RAM, and the additional RAM allows for it to be slower. A dedicated gaming machine that just does a single game at a time doesn't need to…

That's... just not true. Even the current crop of consoles, the Xbox 360 and PS3 are on the order of 10x as powerful as the iPad 4(in terms of GPU).

Right, and I was already taking that into account. If you assume each generation doubles the performance of the previous one(tends to be somewhat less than that, but that's fine), after 5 years you get 32x as powerful, which is about as powerful as the Wii U is now.

Doubtful. Taking GPU as an example, the Wii U's GPU is estimated to be somewhere around 1000-1500 GFLOPs, where that of the latest iPad, the most powerful mobile GPU in any current product comes in at 38.4 GFLOPs. You're talking about a ~30-40x increase in the span of 1-2 years, and processor speeds just don't…

"Is it basically just similar to OnLive video streaming???"

Well, note that putting the guts in the controller itself would have necessarily required major steps down in terms of CPU and GPU prowess.

And yet, it's the most used of any smartphone-specific feature; game apps account for the majority of app downloads across smartphone platforms.

Indeed it does. I'd note that Einstein's math on his actual theories is still sound, and holds up to observed evidence today. There's a fundamental difference in his case in that there's actual math and logic to look at which remains valid, even in absence of any tie with his name. Of course, his opinions on just…

Yep. That connection was intentional.

Of course it doesn't matter what the founding fathers thought. People latch onto it today because it's really damn easy to make claims about what someone believed when they've been dead for 200 years. So, you find someone of importance, wait for them to die, diefy them to ensure that anything they ever said or…

Which makes it better that they're going to be spying on you *how*?

So, there's a few troubling things here. One: OKCupid, like all other dating sites, is *one* tool you can use to try to meet people. You're right that it's all based on flat data points rather than actual human interaction, which makes it more difficult. That said, if you're going to lie(or lie by omission) about that…

Turn based. If you've played final fantasy, it's similar to that.
