I personally think this is nonsense. it's not easy to tune channels, Apple would need to either support cable card and all its shitty drm limitations, or have a compelling IPTV solution. I doubt apple would go the cable card route since its relatively difficult, and IPTV will likely have serious content limitations.…

Awesome, thank you. I'm sold, going to order today. My daughter will turn 9 next month, this will be a great gift - right now she wears regular costume cat ears all the time.

In the review it was never mentioned how responsive they are to moods, how often the ears change, was it easy to make them change, etc. Alot of these brain wave things don't work without a lot of training (granted it's been a few years since i tried one of them). Also, would they fit on a child's head?

I'd buy this for my daughters, they would love this thing - do they work or not?

I have always been skeptical of the claim they interbred. Considering the outright fear that different looking humanoids generate (think ogres, bigfoot, etc) with even modern humans, I would think they would have waged brutal wars of extermination, not lived in a stone age freelove utopia.

This is also spot on for typical Democrat and Republican smear campaigns.

Agreed, we should stop fighting wars and spend the money on basic science research. A strong science policy could result in a huge portfolio of intellectual property the US government could license globally, not to mention grabbing the best and brightest from around the world with a massive increase in H1B visas. I…

As opposed to the iPhone, whose glass shatters when you drop it? My chintzy HTC Trophy has fallen at least 25 times, with no cover. Every time I turn around, a friend has a shattered iPhone screen, even with the dumb covers you have to buy.

It is in Europe, and if I'm not mistaken Apple ships iPods and iPhones with 30-pin to micro-USB adapters for charging. That's how they basically flout the law.

We should be blanketing the solar system with unmanned probes, telescopes, and rovers. We should have a national effort akin to the Apollo program to find new energy sources. We should be educating our children to be global leaders in the physical sciences to prepare them for these tasks. Instead we use our resources…

No, because I use the shit out of my phone and battery life is precious. I've also gone through 4 phones in the time I've had my Zune HD, and changing music services would be a pain (going from iTunes to Zune to google...).

If you use chrome, there is a plugin to force comments to the old style called kotaku fix.

The interesting thing is that the teutonic system is actually more market friendly than the US system - Germans routinely change insurance providers looking to save costs, and often the private plans are cheaper than the "government" minimum plans. But tell a left wingnut you want to privatise Medicare, and you'll…

I'd say we should immediately increase basic research in the physical sciences by a factor of 10, and increase education funding by 2x. Pay for it by reducing defense, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. The fact that we shovel money at baby boomers and adults who can/should take care of themselves, and rob the…

I actually think the Germans and Swiss have it right. Universal coverage with 100% private payers, with a mandated basic level of insurance that's subsidized for the poor.

We should be making a more considerable effort to make birth control and abortions available to low income at-risk teens. Unwanted pregnancies, or even "wanted pregnancies" to teen mothers, seem to result in more crime and also a never ending cycle of poverty where these fatherless kids either produce more fatherless…

Off topic...thank God for the "Kotaku Fix" chrome add-in, so I can browse these comments without Kinja in the old-fashioned way. I tried to navigate around all the comments and it was just a mess without that plug-in.

Never gets old. I've seen a Greek version - Bugs cutting off Greece and it floats away. Probably made by a German.

I'd like to know what those nasty pools of bright colored liquid are on the peninsula - the San Francisco bay near the Dumbarton Bridge.
