Have you upgraded to iTunes 11? It's a complete overhaul and performs much, much faster on my computer. iTunes used to be slow and frustrating, but now it's about as fast as I could reasonably expect from a library of over 500GB.

Higher unemployment rates might have something to do with it.

Yeah, it's a little ironic that all these "No one cares!!!!" replies seem so impassioned. It's almost as if they actually do care, a lot :-/

Everyone can tell that you're suffering from internalized homophobia. Just embrace it, be happy with yourself, and move on.

Wow. She must have lots of time and money. Hope her friends appreciate it.

Yeah, the blog format of this site precludes posting links to stuff from around the internet. That's not what blogs are supposed to do! (/s)

I think "CRAYP" for crepe is the standard North American pronunciation so I'd like to take issue with that one. Since we're talking about a loanword that has become part of the English language, it matters less how it's pronounced in French than how it's pronounced by most English-speakers.

Actually, wasn't it "originally slated" for the launch window? Then it got pushed back to "Spring", then "Summer", and now December 2013??? What is Nintendo thinking?

Agreed. I wish I could demand a refund for my Wii U. The slipping release dates for supposed "launch" titles is also ridiculous. Wii Fit U is going to be released a full year later than expected?? What the hell.

But publishers love DRM. The studios don't want their games being traded on the used market. If anything, this will make them gravitate even further away from Nintendo and toward Sony and MS. Gamers will have little choice but to follow the studios if they want to actually play games.

So if I just bought a deluxe version this week at $349 and they drop the price next week, is there any chance I'll be able to get Nintendo to cough some money up?

You could, but...?

Madness? What's "mad" is you implying that I said any such thing. Men aren't immune to sexual assault, nor did I imply that they were. Try reading again. I implied that there's a global epidemic of sexual assault against women and has been for ages. That's why imagery placing women in compromising sexual positions is…

Did you mean to write that in response to my post? *confused*

Erotic imagery doesn't = sexism. Context matters and your simplistic idea of what sexism is prevents me from taking you seriously.

No, try again.

It's not weird, it makes perfect sense. Girls and women face epidemic levels of violence and sexual assault around the world. I can understand why images of women in compromising sexual positions might make someone uncomfortable while this wouldn't.

Sounds like you may lack critical thinking skills. Here, let me help.

People are diverse and derive meaning from all sorts of different sources. For example, I live for love, humor, music, friendship, learning, helping others, striving to make the world a better place, appreciating the wonders of nature and feeling awe at the universe. Others might draw meaning from belief in a divine…

How can God be a first cause? If such a being existed, it would have come from somewhere. Not sure how that solved any unanswered questions about the nature of existence. Seems like just another instance of sweeping unanswerable questions under the rug.
