I'm going to pass on this. Wake me up when MODO finally releases a modern iteration (and no, 3.xx doesn't count, at all)... that game has been a buggy pile of crap since day one.

Damn it to hell, I've more-or-less got to pick up the poodle. And then I've more-or-less got to be invariably mean to it. Poodles are just awful, pernicious beasts.

I hope they don't muscle him out. I can't imagine Robert Downey, Jr., is going to go to the mat for Favreau (who wants to endanger his golden role for a friend, no matter how he treasures the relationship?)... I just know that I really like Favreau's take on the feeling of the Iron Man world.

@slack04: You're mistaken. This isn't a sponsored post.

@dyowell: To be fair, your complaints have less to do with Android and more to do with Samsung. It was also known at launch that the Fascinate was to be lower on the totem pole than many of Verizon's other Android devices (see, they have this policy of using Bing Search only on non-flagship devices, which is why you…

@Norbs: Apple said from the beginning that they intended FaceTime to be an open platform, albeit one they controlled. I can't imagine they'd object mightily to anyone using it (provided they pay, of course).

@Nye!: You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. [xda-developers.com]

@MACaroni: Unless you're running one of the two Nexuses (Nexii?), it depends wholly on your phone. If you've got a modern device by a manufacturer with a decent track record of pushing Android updates (like HTC) then you'll (probably) continue to receive updated versions of Android for at least a year. If you've got…

@vsound: There are ways to make your Incredible do pretty much anything you want. Once an Android build hits AOSP, someone's going to make a Vanilla ROM for pretty much every phone out there, just root and push it.

@In Case of Emergency: There are jokes, and there are jokes in poor taste.

This is creepy not only for the fairly pukeworthy imagery, but also for what seem to be Moffet's spontaneous vocal impersonations of Steve Martin and Jeff Goldblum (I should note, however, that as far as haphazard impersonations go they're not half bad).

@PSWii2011: Yes, if you select the gifting option on the purchase page, they'll provide you with gift codes that you can dole out the games to others (or yourself) as you decide.

This is a pretty great thing. Money is tight for the holidays (and with the cost of moving! Why did I pick now to move?) but I did my bit to raise the average Windows donation a little.

@Sloopydrew: Yeah, that's a bit odd. Paypal asks that you do it before allowing you to change your password, and it's all done within the secured page on the site. What you're describing does sound a bit offputting.

@Sloopydrew: I don't know if it's the one you're thinking of, but Paypal does a similar thing to ensure your identity before allowing you to change your password.

This is totally awesome. Voice Search is good, but it could use some help. Looking forward to seeing it become more accurate as I use it.

This was fun, but it's not as if I need any coercion to buy this game. It's one on a very, very short list of things that have earned my money the moment they were announced, alongside titles like ME3, TOR, The Last Guardian, and now Skyrim.

@Surturius: I have to disagree. I played Crysis and Warhead, and I have to say that forest is a step above any foliage I saw in the game. That is some seriously detailed stuff.

@shua.jo.m: Indeed. My mistake... one of these days my comprehension will come to me. Cheers!

@YourSaltyPinkDeathNuts: It's an orientation lock.
