That is pretty cool. I've always enjoyed how Tux the Penguin is on half the signs in the store...

"Though does it make sense for anyone who buys a DS during the holidays? No, no it doesn't."

Madden '92 was the last decent Madden game ever... That said, a guy I work with was telling me they misspelled Favre's name on one small section of the game. Now how's that for awesome?

Sony seems to forget that maybe about 10- 25% of the PS2's sold were to replace defective units, and probably just as many were slim units replacing the fat PS2's. Not every console sold was necessarily a "new" user.

@philibuster: That's exactly what I was thinking.

I love it when Guillermo does the movie skits, I just wish I was awake to watch them still...

The article mentions sports games, which have the same or similar advertisements as the fields they represent. How big a stretch is it to assume that those playing these games also watch the televised games, or even attend live games? Where is the control for this?

@pinkbunnyslippers: CarFax only work if a claim is made somewhere, like police report or to your insurance agent. I had someone do a number on my car in a parking lot, but I didn't bother reporting it as there were no witnesses, and why should I pay a higher premium because some jerk who managed to hit my car twice…

@sliderule: Could've been an honest mistake, if that's where your logic was going. But as a side note, the Buick logo is three ties as Buick was the brand of the Middle class. Ties were a sign of the middle class long ago...

There was a pretty good documentary on the electric cars sold in California. I think it was Who killed the Electric Car, or something like that. GM had a fairly great battery that would seem to do the job quite well, but they then sold it to an oil company, don't recall which one. I'm sure the flick was a couple of…

This little tool was even cooler than Jack Horkheimer! (No offense to Jack)

It seems to me that the people who really want folders don't realize the archive button cleans up your inbox. If you want folder/ label "porn," just click the "porn" label. It couldn't be any simpler. If you want to subdivide, you could add more labels, like "blonde" or "red."

The Vista function that really needs to make it to XP is the use a jump drive as extra RAM function. That would be awesome.

Maybe it's just my zip code, but the prices are usually 2 days behind. That can be a significant difference from actual pump price.

This car has some real cajones under the hood...

It's fairly similar to making your own brush in Gimp as well! I mad a brush of my "signature" for the pictures I take and "stamp" it on.

If it was substantially cheaper, I'd really go for it. That's kinda the draw of Ubuntu, it's a free OS. That means you're really only paying for the hardware and assembly, why are you still paying what is essentially the Windows licensing fee??

Thanks LH! The wife and I are gonna have a great evening now !-)

For the love of God, what were they thinking??

I'm glad to see the scores are relatively accurate. Now for the million dollar question, I'm married, so do my wife and I get separate scores; or is it averaged out. I have student loans, but she doesn't, does that hurt her in any way??
