As a web designer/developer, I too was extremely please when I read the headline.

I have to say that some of this info is pretty obvious (people who study abroad are people that want to work abroad, etc), but the rest of it is interesting.

They should do this with Papyrus.

Exactly my thoughts on the illusion. My mind is measuring the end of the lines based on where the arrow intersects the line—by which measurement the lines are actually different lengths.

THPS 1 (for n64) was excellent. And this was by far the best song in the game. Psychovision comes in second for pure ridiculosity (Tell me what you want to hear / I hear it all with my ear).

Does anyone know exactly how this will work? I was under the impression that none of this would be available unless you had a cable subscription through specific providers... but this is leading me to believe that at least some of this will be available regardless of the cable provider. Can anyone confirm this?

I was in the preview program and can say that pure Kinect control is pretty great. There are still the same occasional issues with voice not working correctly, but overall it is pretty great (and motion control feels really good, when you want to use it). With the preview, however, we didn't see any of the newer apps…

I left for your numbers 1,3,4, and 5.

My first thought as well. IE9 is better... but it does little to alleviate the pain of fixing websites for 7 and 8 (forget 6). I wouldn't mind IE so much if people just updated it. As it is, however, I dearly hope it dies.

There could be much better utilization of live tiles IMO. The idea is pretty great, but not enough apps utilize it yet. However, you don't have to delve very deeply to get to information. For example, I use the WP7 onenote to create my shopping/todo lists (with nice little check boxes) and simply pin it to the start…

I have to say that, given that almost everyone that I know know nothing about WP7—something that would be hard to say for android phones (given the tv spots and overall number of phones on the market) and even harder to say for the iphone (you must live under a very large rock to avoid being bludgeoned by apple…

I'm just going to go ahead and blame you, along with Lucas (mostly just Lucas though...) for all of this, then. Though I have turned into a bit of an HD snob, my hatred of the altered Star Wars is still more powerful.

Honestly, I would search around and find an unaltered set of the originals. The prequels come on tv occasionally... which is more often than I would want to watch them. But I don't really care about the extras for most movies.

Agreed. Sir Ian and Sir Patrick go just about hand in hand as my favorites. (Which makes it so very disappointing that the X-men movies turned out as they did, with such an amazing casting for Magneto and Prof. X).

This looks excellent to me. I am still unsure about the dual-OS system (but overall, especially on non-tablet type PC's, I am sure I will be glad the Windows 7-type OS is included).

I really hope they don't lag behind on wp7... As I recall, they were a bit behind of t-mobile/sprint on adoption of Android. Now Android is supersaturating the market with Verizon at the forefront. Here's hoping that Verizon gets at least one decent Mango release soon—my OG droid has long since ceased to work properly…

I have a feeling this is doom spelled out for my hopes that Verizon will get a nice, high-end wp7 phone this fall.

Yes. There isn't enough education as to what exactly "global warming" is referring to. It does not mean that everywhere is getting warmer. Sadly I can't remember the more "correct" (by which I mean literal) name for it, but it refers to the fact that the warming is no necessarily occurring all over the globe, rather…

I would have to agree. It is a laptop I would love to own (though I would rather have a higher resolution screen, mostly because it is what I am used to), but can't see many people going for that price.
