I don't see what the problem is if eBay bans obvious scammers and attempts to reimburse people who lost money in high-profile scams. eBay is well aware that fraud is the #1 complaint hurting their brand and it's in their best interest to intervene in cases like this. It sounds like your main concern is that this guy…

The ones complaining here are mostly sheltered small-town manchildren. The types who gripe about their vaunted video games not being taken as seriously as The Godfather or Unforgiven and two seconds later they're telling some "feminist killjoy" to stop getting her panties in a bunch over a fan-servicey sniper…

The wrong people get killed because in virtually all cases the shooter is a paranoid Tim McVeigh type who thinks the America of yore is under siege from immigrants, welfare queens, and feminazi abortionists.

Americans reserve their gun tantrums for black kids with snacks, female gym attendees who won't date them, Sikhs, Japanese kids in Halloween costumes, blacks looking for help after a car accident, Democratic congresswomen, Colorado movie audiences and Connecticut schoolchildren. For some reason, pampered peckerwoods…

No, he should be allowed to play in as many public venues as possible, preferably near large throngs of barely-frisked attendees. With any luck, his music career will end the same way Dimebag Darrell's did.

Will a 4K TV at this price have a ripple effect on the price of conventional 1080p TVs?

"I know this, it's also no secret women innately hate other women."

True. It's not directly related to a launch, and hacks happen to a lot of networks but the "data stored as plain text" aspect of the PSN leak did sour a lot of gamers on Sony for a while.

The industry-wide downer attitude is a bummer, and it's also completely justified. Have we already forgotten the failure rate of early Xboxes or the PSN data leak debacle? If these new consoles follow through on the features they've been touting, then positive word of mouth, good press and climbing sales figures will…

A gifted director can only do so much if writers and execs saddle him with a sloppy, tone-deaf screenplay. Without exception, every recent big-budget sci-fi/action movie has been hamstrung by groan-worthy writing and there's no reason to expect things to improve. I don't know if all the writing talent left to work in…

It's doable, but I don't know if PC developer teams will want to devote the necessary resources to implement it. It'll probably happen eventually in the form of user-created add-ons.

What about "gonads" (or "nads" for short)?

Hear, hear. By the same token, women who miscarry should be charged with manslaughter.

If "Gyllenhaal" is supposed to be pronounced with a hard G, then someone forgot to tell every talk show host and press junket interviewer in the world because they all say "JILL-en-hall".

Anyone waiting for widely-available fiber optic internet in North America is going to be waiting at least five decades or more. Thanks to sweetheart deals between local governments and bloated corporate laggards like Comcast, competition is almost non-existent and as a result, residential broadband service has…
