Can we please cool it a little with the "NO BUTTONS, NOT FOR GAMES" nerd rage?

Whatever, I'm actually super excited for iTunes home sharing. I cannot tell you how many busted-ass apps I've tried to get this functionality working, and it's something that should have been baked into iOS from the start. Looking forward to plugging my iPhone into my stereo and DJing with my computer.

Ha!

Maybe they would have better luck if they hadn't chosen THE MOST IRRITATING SPELLING POSSIBLE for the name of their firm.

Wake me up when I can sell a game I bought on XBL or PSN on eBay or Glyde after I burn through it in two weeks.

Redacted.

"19 million users globally" and "home session lasting 70 minutes" are pretty vague metrics. For all we know every one of those users logged into Home the day they bought their PS3, played for an hour or so, and never logged in again.

Christ, Sony, just let it go.

Ah, I see. Didn't notice the grille under that gigantic watermark. Thanks!

This is almost definitely a fan made image, which sort of makes this a moot point, but isn't that opening on the bottom probably the USB connector port rather than a speaker? If the next iPad is significantly thinner you'll probably be able to see the port from the back like you can on the iPod Touch.

I've always hated the word "gamer." As far as I'm concerned it's always been a stupidly reductive term and it speaks to the weird obsession so many people who play games have with turning their hobby into an exclusive culture—a culture that in my experience is often too short-tempered and reactionary, in addition to…

Word. Compared to all the other Haloez I've actually had a miraculously civil and fun multiplayer experience with Reach, and I think I mostly have Black Ops to thank for it. Here's hoping it works the same way for Gears.

Word.

Obviously Wright is talking about his personal creative goals and preferences here, but the sad truth is that even with that caveat most developers aren't doing much to prove him wrong.

Pop-up notifications on the iPhone and iPad are a huge pain (especially when compared with the other, more multitasking-friendly mobile OSes) because they completely take over—if you're playing a game or watching a video on your iPhone and someone sends you a text message, everything has to come grinding to a halt…

A thousand times this. I honestly believe that the iPhone is the best smartphone you can buy today, with the one caveat that the notification system is ridiculously, embarrassingly bad. It's unbelievable to me that Apple still hasn't fixed it—hopefully it will actually happen this time.

Those Beats headphones are already a spectacularly huge (and successful) con. I'm sure 24-bit audio will be, too.

Apple and their design philosophy are only "the devil" to crazed fanboys.

There's beauty in functionality, though. There's something to be said for the durable, no-nonsense design of many business-class laptops, especially ThinkPads (which is basically what this HP looks like, just in silver).

It's John Bigbooté!
