@endy_n_omni: Texas Hold'em is a fun poker variant, and it relies more on knowing the odds & playing against the person, rather than just luck of the draw.

@mike_311: That's why we're hearing rumblings from Microsoft about a similar feature for Windows.

@froynlaven: Caching involves constantly creating and deleting small files on the drive. Gaming doesn't (in general).

@chumleyex: 3G isn't as bad, but it'll still do it if you move it close enough to the speaker.

@gerwen: Why are the alternatives "better" though?

@lucasway89: Nope. Broadcast television is free. We have longer commercial breaks than the UK has, but that's it.

@rattmobbins: People have put their hands on them, including Giz, Engadget and Ars Technica. None of them could duplicate the "grip of death" effect on the new antenna.

@original_fehu: Well, some people have, but they never made it onto television networks. I remember hearing about Urusei Yatsura back in the 80s, but it was from people who had VHS tapes that were either fan-subtitled or just plain Japanese. A bit much for most Americans to deal with.

@lucasway89: Yeah, but you folks also (used to?) pay a tax for your broadcast television, something that bewildered Americans.

@reuthermonkey: No, this is false. You can choose to answer the call (and break the data connection) or send it to voice mail & leave the data connection live.

@joep1984: What hair places do that? I've never seen one do it, they just use a hair dryer to blow it off you.

@HungerSTGF: How is it "not ideal for hotkeying"? That's the entire point of this keyboard.

@Roach: You'll also burn your nuts off with an i5 in something you can slip into your pocket.

@Method320: According to Engadget, it's an Intel "Oak Trail" Atom processor, running Windows 7. Don't know much else yet.

@WTF! Realityism!: Yeah, I think "hardcore" is a bit disengenuous. However, for casual gaming (on the couch, or on the go), it sounds wonderful. It should be good enough for running dailies or solo leveling in WoW, for instance, or a rousing game of Plants vs. Zombies.

@corpore-metal: But they'd be mall cops in superhero costumes! ;)

@corpore-metal: The next logical step is to hire themselves out to local businesses and cities as private security firms. That requires a lot of training and legal paperwork, but would give them legitimacy they're lacking right now.

@Drunkenlobster: You could receive an award for something like that!

@sandrewmorrison: The phrase is "cold as a witch's tits," because witches (aka pagan nature worshippers) were known to do their rituals in the nude. Even in winter.
