Las Vegas is 8 hours behind GMT. If you are in England, the Keynote will happen at 9PM Nov. 18. 10 in western Europe (Notch's home time zone in Sweden), 11 in eastern Europe, 12 midnight in Moscow, and on from there. Basically, wherever you are, two hours from when I post this the speech starts.

You may not be entirely wrong in this sarky comment. Those creatures seem to fill the mythological niche of furry and reclusive nature spirits in the game's mythology. This is the role in Japanese myth filled by tanooki. And tanooki, in these myths, are characterized by their giant scrotums. (This is an actual thing.

Lithium's recyclable. So are most of the compounds used in batteries. And it's not wasteful recycling like paper or plastic bottles, it's useful and efficient like scrap recycling, closed loop from one source. Given how many operational cycles a battery can go through in its lifetime (thousands) compared to a gallon

Fuckin' electromotive force, how does it work?

Other ancestors I recall from memory:

They invented container freight after they built the highways. If they'd had intermodal containers from the beginning we'd have grown up in a different way.

Read this in that voice: Mr. Freeze Frozen Peas. Store them with someone you love.

I don't recall anyone really cursing at Batman, though. That's the thing, men get called all sorts of non-profane but appropriate things like psychopath, criminal, punk, diseased freak... but all women just get "bitch"? In the first game, even Jim Gordon does it to Harley, and it sounded so out of place!

If Kinect lets you do green screen without a green screen, then that may just be the killer app. "Kinect Movie Studio" would be the greatest thing, especially if it shipped with fun art assets to make backgrounds with.

Just to be a killjoy: he seemed able to quite comfortably move the magnet away from and towards the track with his bare hand, so I wonder how much unmagnetized mass a magnet like that could support. If you can't put any weight on it or apply any lateral force it's useless as either transportation or a bearing. Does it

Gotham Knight, the anthology anime thing. That was based on Nolan's version. As for if they'll do a series, I think no.

LED's are getting cheaper by the day. The startup is instant, there isn't any mercury vapor, and they're even more energy efficient. They do have a similar kind of heat longevity concern, but a lot of the clever new ones have cooling radiators to keep the electronics running cool. They can be made in any color

I could see a combiner being an interesting boss battle, alternating between fighting five normal guys and a big one, but if you're still going to have three-player coop how will that work as a playable character?

Even if it's useless in your own car, it might come in handy on a bus, in a hotel room in a foreign country with weird plugs, a train, riding in your buddy's car in the backseat, or if both you and your passenger want to charge phones but don't want to use a splitter.

Maybe wrap aluminum in a rubber coating? Or some kind of composite?

That's not quite the question. The native android browser from 2.3 does flash, but this is a different browser that has a combination superproxy server-side thing going on, and I'd definitely class flash objects as processor and memory intensive. So, will this browser, split in twain as it is, support flash? If it

She's a scale model.

See, thought it was there to prove that having gold sunglasses welded over your eyes was a bad idea.
