yup... though I'm sure windows 8 will probably have a more traditional desktop mode... right?

This guy isn't some obnoxious tourist going into another country and defacing property, or starting up bar fights. He's either an innocent American citizen, or a captured American spy, and in either case, I think our government has a responsibility to keep him out of harm's way. He may be subject to punishment under…

We don't let other countries have nukes because its within our national interest to do so. We have a pretty fucking powerful military that costs us nearly 700 billion dollars per year. We have tanks, missiles, big ass air craft carriers, special forces, helicopters, fighter jets... and all of that could be undermined…

Unless the president of the United States makes it clear that any execution or prolonged imprisonment will be met with cruise missiles...

But the thing is... Iran doesn't have thousands of nuclear weapons, 11 Nimitz class air craft carriers, 10,000 tanks, 6,500 helicopters, a massive fleet of fighter jets, stealth bombers, and cruise missiles. It doesn't matter what we would have done if we caught one of their guys spying on us. We have a lot more…

You can call the use of nuclear weapons at the end of WWII heartless, cruel, inhumane... but it was far from irrational. No one here is defending the sanctity of US foreign policy. We're all very aware that we've done some pretty fucked up things. Still, considering the fact that the United States has, for the past 50…

The spokesperson for razer in that video said himself that this isn't the future of PC gaming. It's not even PC gaming. I don't know how you could call it the future of anything... but okay...

Yeah, they're mimicking Apple... but I don't see how that's a bad thing. The one thing PC manufacturers have been completely fucking clueless about for the past decade is product design. Nearly every laptop PC has a smeary plastic finish, shitty, cheap feeling keys, and an overly complex aesthetic. I think Windows PCs…

But smart boards are an incredible waste of resources... can't we just have neither? At MOST, we ought to be giving teachers some of those digital overhead projectors.

It wasn't an incredible experience or anything... but it was so polished and well put together. It felt like playing through a pixar movie.

I think they just mean a different UI to use if you want to connect your computer to an HDTV

Well the article says there are MHL to HDMI adaptor cables

Man, I always thought that looked fun... having a dedicated air traffic controller and all that

Eh, I'm perfectly alright with handing over the reigns of PC gaming entirely to Valve. Microsoft controls the Xbox platform. Sony controls the PlayStation platform, Nintendo controls the... Nintendo platform.

um... that sounds like a pretty damn good defense. This guy is claiming to have found a mouse in his drink. Pepsi says it's impossible for such a mouse to have not already decomposed. If true, that means the guy is lying...

I love that video

Pretty much, though I'd include the entire middle class, and the working class on that list as well, so long as both spouses are working. That would be a pretty volatile statement if we lived in a caste society without any sort of social mobility, which, regardless of what the occupy wall street guys might tell you,…

I'm very much an atheist, but I enjoy living in a world with some semblance of culture. What scares me way more than any religion is people like you, who insist on creating some kind of super-cleansed, non-offensive, perfect world, of androgynous, unimaginative, culture-less freaks. Please stop it.

ah, and I use to watch house quite a bit. I feel dumb, thanks.

eh, it's normal, but when a five year old runs up to you saying "I HIT MY BUTT..." I don't know, it just sounds obnoxious.
