Yes. Just... yes.

This is related to Gizmodo's use of the word "hilarious":

Remember a month back, when both Dragon Age III and Half-Life 3 was listed as games to be shown/announced at Gamescom? Well, just one more to go, then. Fingers crossed.

The competition has changed and caught up with - and surpassed Apple in some areas, and I'm pretty sure that when my iPhone 4 will be replaced, it won't be by an Apple device.

iTunes is in the lead? iTunes is by far the worst media player that I've used, and I still believe that the iPod succeeded in spite of - and not because of - iTunes.

After the Ichtyosaur in Half-Life scared the shit out of me, I was terrified every single time I went in the water in Half-Life 2... "They haven't made an updated model just to show it once, have they? HAVE THEY?"

VOTE: Safari.

Over the course of the years working in the technology industry, what has brought you the most joy? And what has kept you from growing tired?

I agree with you on SSX - dodging bottomless pits simply did not make it a fun game for me.

Almost. The biggest problems with aiming for photorealism is that it requires one hell of a job with the animations, unless you want to end up in uncanny valley.

Back when it was released, it was unplayable on ATI cards as far as I could remember. My friend and I had pretty equal gaming rigs, only difference was that he had an Nvidia card, while I had an ATI. His went smooth, mine was a slideshow.

I sure as hell hope they do a better job than they did at the Gears of War PC port. That thing was a trainwreck.

Solid piece of phone. The battery life was excellent, and it served nicely as a bottle opener as well.

VOTE: Ubuntu

All you need is the right set of instructions!

Until it's been well proven that wireless networks have no negative effect at all, a fact I think will be busted in a few years time, I'll be more than happy to stick with wired broadband, and I do prefer home plug networks over Wi-Fi.

VOTE: Jawbone Era.

I bought the Boxee Box a year ago, and I've been really happy with it. Looks neat, plays anything, requent updates and its wife acceptance factor is high.

Sure, take the easy way out. Let someone else care about encrypting passwords and keeping them secure.

This didn't work out too well for the Das Boot-guys.
