Another universal sign: putting your hands up. Seriously, when a flipped of Indian driver with road rage pulls out a pistol, you'll be glad they watch movies where people put their hands up. (This actually happened to me)

Damn, we're fifteenth! And I thought we had bad traffic. From the bottom of my Texan heart, I feel sorry for you New Yorkers

@Ipwnnubletz: No, in the article he says it's an alpha though

Why does the screenshot say "beta"?

@CutTheRedWire: Firefox 3.7 with some about:config tweaks can match Chrome 5 in terms of rendering speed.

@Atomsk88: Yes, color choice is important too, as evidenced by the Gameboy and DS lines, but I was just mentioning something I noticed.

@Atomsk88: I'm making that correlation from comments from all over the interwebz and real-world decisions i've seen people make in stores. I know someone who said he wanted an Xbox but at the store bought a PlayStation 3 because it "looked like it was meant for serious games" .

I think Nintendo is trying to time the launch of the black Wii to coincide with the launches of SMG2 and Metroid: Other M. The black color, for some reason, makes some people think the console is hardcore, and those games are relatively hardcore. Is Nintendo trying to gain back their hardcore fans (like me)?

@heretrix: Oops. I forgot to add the #rant tag. I just don't like it when people (both young and old) stereotype that people above 35 can't use any modern electronic devices.

@Aara Farshad 'Malik' Davoodi: Obama ain't any older than my dad and around 70 of his friends from college and they know that sign (from turning on computers).

@icarus212001: See my reply to ChromaticMagus.

@ChromaticMagus With Rainbows: iPod click wheels use the universal signs for Play/Pause, Next, Previous, and a labeled button called "Menu". The menus are "Music", "Movies", etc. My 81 year old grandfather who never saw a real computer in his life before (he lives in a village in India) picked up my iPod and worked it…

If he doesn't know how to work an iPod, PlayStation 3, or Xbox 360, that's just sad. He is a confessed "blackberry addict" and he can't operate one of the simplest devices of all time? (iPod click-wheel) I have an Xbox 360 and regularly use a PlayStation 3 and they both have clearly labeled "Power" buttons and say…

Miyamoto.

@Showmeyomoves!: I thought they were using Sharp holographic displays?

You can also use a firefox extension called SkipScreen to skip Rapidshare, Megaupload,zShare, and practically any other DL website. I use it all the time :)

@InsidiousTuna: But then who will you connect to a match with, if everyone stops playing :P
