@AcidSpoon: That's weird. It happens to everyone I know. I've seen the capacitive screens on the Evo and Incredible trigger by being slid against denim. I just did it now, even on the lock screen I replaced the Sense one with (stock Froyo). Nearly every time I pull the phone out of my pocket when I get a call, it's…

@TheGreenRoad: I wasn't going to mention the sales at all... they're nice, but it's not like finding deals is hard in any medium.

@Silviu Ch: I'm pretty low on Sense anymore. I'm running the stock ROM on my Evo (because CM6.1 doesn't have WiMax support) but I've got it torn apart and rebuilt with pieces from other stuff. Sense is pretty, but it's not always very functional. The lock screen is foolishly designed— down, with a tiny travel? Ugh!—…

@neverbeenback: Rooting your phone will most definitely void the warranty— it's explicitly stated in the warranty terms by just about every manufacturer— and it's pretty easy to tell if a phone is rooted. Even if they didn't want to dig into the phone for the info, they could take two seconds to download any app that…

@dj.reidak: Sense is neat in certain regards, but it's ass-breakingly terrible in others. Just one example: the Sense lockscreen is bad, miles behind the stock Froyo one (or the Eclair one, for that matter)... but no-one notices because the Sense lock call/decline screen is way worse. Pulling the phone out of your…

Very good. Nice catch. And nice desktop.

@AlienSix (WeComeAlive) ver.: Wouldn't that just be an HTC Villain?

@TheGreenRoad: Different strokes indeed... I'm curious, though: in what way do you consider Steam a step backwards?

I've got to give the nod to Valve. But not just for being a great developer... more for helping to keep PC gaming alive by creating Steam (and by extension creating a service that forces competitors like Greenhouse, Impulse, GoG and others to keep up and innovate).

@DaRealCaboose: It's not a perfect solution, by any measure... but at least half of Kotaku's value is derived from the community we've worked hard to create here. That community is just as important as the articles... look at TAY. It's one of the most popular things on the site, and it's just us talking to each other.…

@CatPope: I can appreciate that many people might be in the longtime reader, first-time commenter club. And to be honest, I don't have a great solution for that, other than if you want to enjoy the benefits of the community, then be a part of it. Closing the contest to those who've never commented before might be…

@meerkat23: I don't think those codes actually expire (if you're talking about the Stone Prisoner and such). I just used one maybe three months back, four? And a buddy just used his code last month. Both these were on PS3, if that makes any difference.

@zeroshark: I'd just like to see contests be used as a way to engender better comments and a better community. Kotaku needs people like you— guys and girls who want to be part of the scene. I'm glad you're here.

@BananaStandCEO: I agree in part. I happened to scroll through a lot of comments in the last couple contests, and when I followed those back to the user pages, I found an awful lot of people who've only commented in the contest articles.

Congratulations to the winners!

@MightyMonk: Agreed. All the core accessories should have been made available to match all the main consoles.

I just wish it was available in white. Same thing with the 802.11N adapter. I get it that the current models are gloss black, but there are like thirty million or more of the white units out there... can't we get a little love?

@deafblindmute: He can still play everything, he just can't connect to LIVE. Everything still works offline, though.

@Tomsta_666: So, the Kinect beta is like having a PS3? Every time I turn that thing on there's a fucking update for it. Ugh.

I'm going to get this game— they earned my loyalty with the first one, even if it was flawed in many ways— but I can't really understand exactly what Dragon Age II is going to be by watching these trailers. They're pretty, but I don't really understand what they're trying to say about the world of the game. Looks…
