Yeah, you're so right. What sort of credibility would the former #2 at Wikileaks have? As if he knew Julian Assange.

What a load of feng shuit.

Don't be silly. Noah Wyle's AI isn't anywhere near as advanced.

Kyle, if that's what your skull looks like, Andrew McCarthy would love to meet you.

And those who don't feel betrayed? They're probably just familiar with Apple's typical release cycle, heeded our warnings, and waited.

I thought Guitar Hero was a huge cash cow. Did Rock Band kill its sales or something?

Which is very common these days. My mother recently told me that if there were cell phones when I was a kid, she would have gotten me one. I was always out playing around in the neighborhood, riding my bike around, etc. and she couldn't find me.

Being in love doesn't excuse you being an asshole.

The first car I remember my parents having, possibly the first one they had in my lifetime, was a Toyota Corona wagon with an in-dash 8-track player! My dad had a converter thingy that plugged into the player and stuck out so you could put a cassette tape in it.

Pff. Can the Xbox 360 move me up and down very slowly and jerkily? Because for 50 cents, that rocket ship in the mall can!

@c.pollett: What lower gear? There are no gears. And what do you mean by most cities? It would kill in San Francisco, Cincinnati, Atlanta and plenty of L.A. and New York too.

@Dear God I think they've got it!: And I don't see the big problem with that either. The cost out of the overall national budget is too minuscule to be concerned with.

Have fun walking that up hills.

@Dear God I think they've got it!: You're right. We should rush the probes into space right now just in case. What could go wrong?
