The reason I choose a Kindle over a Nook was the almighty Kindle Store, which had hundreds of thousands more commercial books available than the B&N eBook store.

Not to mention the whole "Sorcerer's Stone" instead of "Philosopher's Stone"

There's an entire industry of books based off of popular movie franchises (billions of Star Wars books, for example, some of them really high quality). No reason for the video game industry to be any different.

I disagree. A book like this would spoil elements from the original game, so should not be read until you are done playing the game.

I must be missing something, I see no video at all, and the one screenshot at the top sure looks 3D-rendered to me.

You forget that Ebert says that about ALL movies. He has NEVER ONCE recommended you see a movie in 3D. If a movie has both 3D and 2D options, he will always tell you to see 2D. He's completely biased against 3D.

Actually, the last few films before Deathly Hallows have had their climax in 3D, but only certain theaters offered it at the time.

Now *this* is an example video!

Video fail - they not once show the thing talking.

I think the big point is, they let you make *ALL* other information private. Why keep that one little bit as forced public? To many people social networking is only for friends, not meeting new people. A friend will already know your gender, there's no need to tell the entire world your gender when you don't tell…

Replacing my ATI video card with an nVidia video card isn't quite free...

Wow, trying to show off, but you know what, George Washington *was* the first President of the United States. Before him there were presidents of the continental congress, but they weren't voted in by the public, nor did they actually do anything - they had no authority. It wasn't the same job at all as the one…

This is dumb, of course they know (though they may blank out on the year). But the younger you are, the more apt you are for lying when asked questions like that on a survey. When asked a "duh" question a lot of people are gonna give a BS answer.

Odd how that second video suddenly cuts to the same seen as the island *exactly*, with the robots disappearing and everything. I didn't see any part of the movie where the robots just disappeared with no explanation. I think the person who made the video is making it up.

Nope, someone else posted a video, the blast knocked him down, but he got up and walked away.

As for "censorship bleeps" on TV, there are no laws requiring them - that would be unconstitutional. This is why Family Guy can use the term "Bitch" on FOX without bleeps - it's the network that choose whether or not to censor something. However, TV is a kind-of slippery slope. I'm not sure exactly how it works,…

In the US, freedom of speech makes no age differentiation - if it is illegal for ANY part of the population to acquire media of any type, then that is against our definition of freedom of speech. It took a lot of arguing for a long time to get adult magazine sales outlawed for kids, and that's only on a…

@Eclipse: From what I understand, under the current testing tech, it requires a person to first manually drive the route, marking speed limits, stop signs, stop lights, crosswalks, etc. So it seems that the car wouldn't be able to handle temporary road construction in its current form, unless it wasn't the first car…

@Ccomfort: They've been testing them in just that situation in California, on the highways and even on Lombard Street. In fact there was one accident, when a human driver not part of the project rear-ended one of the driverless cars.

@spiderman79: Those drones are being flown by remote control. They aren't autonomous.
