@Divine-Shadow: Good artists copy, great artists steal.

@WestwoodDenizen: But a griddle could possibly have the timer controls, it just can't have variable heat across the stove top?

This just seems like a fancy griddle that doesn't heat up in places. Am I missing something?

@Prawn_Star: And as systems get more complex, they get more dangerous (e.g. the Priuses). What about the drone article that came up today about the Navy losing control? How about that fly-by-wire airliner that crashed in the ocean? Throwing electrical components at everything we can isn't always the best solution. And…

Do you know why most guns don't have a lot of tech in them? Because computers break, and shit that can kill people and tech that can malfunction don't go together very well.

When can I trademark all the vowels?

@Graviton1066: I still don't see how less competition is helping you. More software makers usually translates into more hardware models available too.

@ProperBritish: I pay $0 with contract for my phone that 2003 would be ashamed of :/

@Graviton1066: Why would you want that? Competition is GOOD for the consumer. Google is less motivated to work on Android if they have no competitors. If they have to keep up with Apple and MSFT, they'll stay on their toes. Same goes for Apple and MSFT.

@Joseph Paul Johnston II: Because MKVs support multiple audio tracks and soft subtitles.

@thefastest: They'd both be nice, but I have a bigger interest in mkv support too :P

@Graviton1066: Because then we see a cool new product enter the market and it drives competition in the business which means the consumers win.

@Nabaraj: IBM is known for eating souls.

@Lazzzara: I guess they just turn oil into CO2 and H2O.

I thought almost all of the surface oil is gone and now its just giant, underwater plumes that may or may not exist, depending on who you ask.

@TheiPhoneDeveloper: Jack of all trades, master of none.

@ircmaster: Unless you really know what you're talking about, that doesn't sound likely. I think its really about when they interview the players after the game. Yhat's where the NFL makes some money.

@KingKash: It may or may not be, it's hard to tell. But from this angle, it does look a bit off center.

@tucker augie'ben'doggy: That's terrible.

@Edd White: Quite honestly, there's a few games I would download from the internet and play them on my 360 if there was no threat of an XBL ban. Anyway, games are extremely cheap for the amount of entertainment they provide.
