Well- you're forgetting that many many average people don't even know the Nexus 7 or even the Fire exist. I'd wager even some that do, don't realize they're actual tablets that are competing- they probably assume they're color e-readers or something.

I am one of those rare people who, as a child, actually finished the Atari ET game. I remember I had to take a year off before my brain was developed enough to understand what I was trying to accomplish in the game. It wasn't worth it- but it was probably the first game I ever 'beat'.

I'm one of those people that ear-buds fit perfectly. I've never had a problem. I use the Apple ones a lot- but I have a better pair of headphones I use if I'm just going to listen to music.

Now playing

Looks like the same Kirby suit they had here:

How is that any faster? Yet another Google feature in search of a problem. :\

ha, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who instantly thought that, too.

iWeb for iPad? That never even came out.

I'm an Apple fan, and I think MS did a great job on this. It's great to see someone coming up with some of their own ideas (even if the keynote borrowed a lot of presentation cues from Apple). My main concern is having 2 separate systems both using the same design. I think most people are going to want the price &

I actually beat this game as a kid. I forget how old I was.. maybe 6 or 7. I remember playing it a lot when I was 4 or so, and never quite getting it. A couple years later I decided to sit down and figure it out, and I actually did. This was a year or so before the NES came out.. so I didn't have anything better to

at first, I thought this would be something to laugh at. Then I realized I was also 12 years old in 1990 and if making a video like this occurred to me, I would have done THE EXACT same thing. In fact, I sometimes did monologs like this playing games by myself... which is far worse. :)

Why don't you just make playlists instead?

Yup, many anaylysts estimate that Microsoft makes more money off Android than Google does... All because of patents

I've only gotten it once- about 10 years ago. I have a large head... maybe that helps.

Where were you buying your NES games for $80-$90? I think $50 US was the most i ever spent for a new NES game, and most were $39.99. In fact, I think the most expensive game I ever bought new was Street Fighter II for $79.99... and that was for the SNES and DEFINITELY an exception on pricing, not the rule.

My 3rd gen iPad seems to have identical wifi reception as the 2 I had. Strong in the same locations and weak in the same.

believe it or not, they aren't anything special. They seem pretty popular around Christmas in Japan, but the cake itself isn't as tasty as a cake you'd get in the US or probably most other western countries. The Japanese are masters of making amazing LOOKING cakes, but they aren't usually as sweet as westerners like :\

I grew up on 2D Mario and skipped Mario 64 altogether (I later did play through it). My first 3D Mario experience was Mario Sunshine. I couldn't get into it. I think the problem was I didn't want to adjust from a 2D mentality of 'beat every level!' (or warp) to 'replay a large map many times to collect shines/stars'.

I plan on using it in my car.. Alone. I can't imagine anyone wanting to use it around people who can hear you.

Wait.. Google Wallet ist out yet? Someone better tell Office Max. When I was in one 2 days ago, their touch screen credit card reader had that as an option.

Their shareholders are giving them heat for it- which could be a big influence if things dont improve. These guys are basically pointing out that Nintendo could make more money selling just games to a much wider audience. It's not that crazy either- if Nintendo just released classic games on the iPhone, they'd get a
