If I were willing to pay $30 to stream a movie at home (and not own a copy of the movie like I would if I spent probably less than that to buy a DVD), why wouldn't I just go to the theater and spend $10 to watch it a couple of months sooner? How stupid are the people who run the studios, exactly?

How appropriate, you fight like a cow!

In this post title, is "jerking" used as a verb, as in "the act of jerking a Shake Weight sucks", or as an adverb in place of "fucking"?

@bailfire: I remember that one. It's really tough to get the timing right to get the green bird to hook back and knock the guys under the floor out from behind.

This is another step on the road to Skynet.

@dallasmay: Especially if she spells it "Socks", I suppose.

Wanting less is sort of contrary to the core concept of Gizmodo, though, isn't ti?

I wish the quality of the pictures was better, you could figure out about where this place is from the view out the office window.

OK, let's all look at the actual patent application before we decry Apple's plans to force you to buy peripherals and/or use crappy headphones and/or whatever else.

Wishing, once again, that there were an A&W less than 60 miles from where I live.

@Jessysaurusrex: I dunno, I feel like if you're allowed to say "a boat" it defeats the purpose of the whole desert island exercise.

Makes perfect sense. One of Nintendo's core focus areas continues to be selling games that you can play with groups of people including little kids and parents and grandparents. What's more antisocial (for lack of a better word) and counterproductive to that goal than games that you need to wear special glasses to…

@The_Vitto: You know what? There's no Easter Bunny! Over there? That's just a GUY in a SUIT!

@HideyoshiJP: The man... off in whose camper... they were whacking?

@Svirfneblin: You may see the (voluntary) broadcast of location information as "foursquare's largest problem," but I have a hard time seeing it as a "problem" when it's basically the core aspect (or at least one of the core aspects) of the whole thing.

So what can I watch if I don't want to pay the $10/month? Do I still get the same stuff I do now, with ads still embedded?

@Svirfneblin: Only if you tell it to; that's the whole point of the thing. Clearly the people who use it regularly don't mind that that's the case.

Free gelato? I think I may go up there after work, stand in line, get some free gelato, and then go home.

As has been mentioned in other comment threads like this one: I don't want to turn OFF iPhone 4 coverage. I just want to turn it down to a reasonable volume.

Ah crap, I paid full price for Real Soccer 2010 just a few days ago.
