@when: I don't doubt this guy uses his workspace for something bigger than social networking (I mean, those tablets don't come for free), but it's definitely inadequate for most purposes. I mean, his actual hardware is hanging over the edges of his too-small desktop. Where's his actual work supposed to go?

@GizmoTron9000: I understand that point, but what's really so different between running closed-environment apps within a web browser (which is the operating system and supports caching for offline use) and running closed-environment apps within an operating system that has (to the lay person) the same determinate

If they're going to support Android tablets they might as well support Android phones as well... after all, the Evo, Droid X, and Streak aren't all that much smaller than the Galaxy Tab... heck, for that matter the entire Galaxy S line isn't really that small, either.

Awesome! So this week's Tell Us Dammit will be what are you planning on watching other people play this weekend, right?

It's pretty, but impractical. I'd hate to have a desk with a work surface too small for my peripherals, to start... and the jagged front edge (while beautiful) is not in any way conducive to work.

@fatboislimm: You realise this isn't terribly far off from what Apple is doing, right? OSX is turning into iOS a lot faster than iOS is turning into OSX. Apple's got an app store for Mac, now, and it's all tied to your iTunes account so it'll be accessible on any Apple device you own. Local content aside, Apple is

@sumnumbnutz: Chrome OS is basically Chrome running on top of Linux. In Chrome OS, the browser is the operating system, and the webapps (as unveiled and available today in the Chrome Web Store) are the applications you'll run in that environment.

@Xazi2003: I guess so, but it seems there's an update nearly every time I turn the thing on... and admittedly I play my 360 more than my PS3, so it's not like I fire the thing up daily. But it's still comical how often the PS3 updates. And the update process for that machine is terrible. It takes ages.

It only does updates (every single time you turn it on).

I'm actually totally OK with a sequel to Prototype. Yeah, it's way stupid, a little half-assed, and ridiculous in the extreme... but it was fun, and it'll make some money. Hell, if these brain-dead publishers are releasing Inversion, Neverdead, and Homefront (all of which will absolutely bomb without question and

I'm going to play Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, Fable 3, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Shadowrun (PC), and maybe some Kinect stuff if I bite on buying one tomorrow.

I'm a little disappointed. I wish it was more Pixaresque. Considering how nonchalant and relaxed everyone looked in the original 360 intro video I would've guessed they'd have more stylish digs.

Wow. That's audacious, and despicable. Hopefully he'll get punished to the fullest extent of the law.

@George Williams: In Houston we just got some backhaul upgrades, so now we're finally seeing 6-8Mb/s during peak hours. Hopefully we'll be catching up to you guys soon.

@jgrnt1: Sprint's still working on optimising the network, though... in Houston we've seen a drastic increase in speed in the last couple weeks. Up from 2-3Mb/s during peak hours to 6-8Mb/s. Definitely glad to see it, was getting to the point I wasn't bothering to leave the WiMax radio on anymore.

@MrFluffyThing: That's not it. In Europe they're still using the same, early-spec LTE tech we're rolling out here... it's going to be some time until WiMax2 and LTE-Advanced exist in any meaningful manner in the wild.

I'm encouraged by the results, but in well-developed areas with adequate backhaul renovations T-Mobile's HSPA+ is drawing these same speeds right now, and that's being used by hundreds of thousands of devices in the wild right now (even if some are only taking advantage of 7.2Mb/s theoretical max)... once Verizon's

For lunch, I ate GFAJ-1!

@Maverick128: I believe in Russell as a director, and Huckabees was a great, great film. I just don't understand why they're so devoted to the Uncharted name for this project— the fans of the game seem to be decidedly against the casting and approach, so I can't imagine they'll make up the largest part of the film's

John Riccitiello is a pretty smart dude, and I'm glad to see he's acknowledging that skateboarding is waning and it's time for other non-traditional "sports" titles to form a rotation atop the publisher's alt-slate. And while we're on the topic of other titles to fill your alt-sports slate... hey, John? Remember that
