Or drive down to a record store (Hah!) and ask the store clerk which song you heard on the radio. You could do this in the 1930's too.

@TheCrudMan: They seem to carry big name documentaries, most notably Michael Moore movies.

@Hello Mister Walrus: Same reason people buy monster cables. They're built with higher quality materials that make little to no difference in practicality. Nathan explains this and sounds like the folks from Monster cable, or the people who try to sell the stuff.

@Kirkaiya: It took several years before the iphone outsold Windows Mobile devices world wide, I believe until 2009 although I'm not certain. So no, the iphone was not a huge hit when it did not have an app store, especially when it lacked so many features other smartphones had but cost a premium penny.

@Xagest: Thank you. This is the best comment. Yes, we all know USB flash drives were invented before the 21st century, no one needs to point it out that's besides the point, but many smaller inventions that helped make these things cheap and widespread like USB 2.0 were released in the 21st century.

Hand writing recognition on a PDA or a touch screen computer is their future if they refuse to use the alphabet. Just write on the touch screen and the computer recognizes it.

@Aaron Crabtree: If the screen of the phone tilts, the speakerphone will still be exposed, making it an even better conference calling phone than the touch pro 2. Dual-sliding would work, if it's on a dock charging either in a car or at home. Brilliant!

@rymas1: Kotaku along with the rest of Gawker are Apple fanboys. BUT, even though Android outnumbers iphone phones out there, there are a large number of ipod touches which might tip the scale on who's larger for gaming.

After the third or fourth season they really should have let Ash pass down the torch to someone else, like a younger trainer and let Ash finish his journey and become a member or the Elite 4 or something (like what they did with Red in the game). They did this with Star Trek, which died with dignity. Although the…

@TRT-X: Agreed. Once you get more than 16 identical sisters/cousins/family members it gets weird.

Here's a nice slap in the face for Siena: Mario Kart Mode. Go karts throwing destructive green and red koopa shells everywhere, destroying buildings, invincible go karts driving through obstacles when they smash through floating colorful blocks not matching the architecture of the city!

The way I see the graph, the Xbox 360 is squashed in between Nintendo and Sony in Japan.

@N-Robes: All sinister? The first hour or two in Ordon was entirely innocent and peaceful. Then when you rescued the kids there was a sense of comfort. Probably not enough peacefulness for my tastes, but I do like the mix of "peace" and darkness to the whole process of beating the game.

I like Les Stroud, but his show Survivor Man was so incredibly boring. Seriously, I don't want to sit there and watch him struggle to make a fire for five minutes, or make this elaborate trap only to watch it fall apart or catch nothing. Bear Grylls at least does these demonstrations right even if he has expert advise…

@N-Robes: Surprisingly I hear a very small amount of criticisms on Wind Waker and its cel shading, but I completely acknowledge my experience probably wasn't unique.

This may upset some, but my own personal and biggest gaming letdown was The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. This was when I was turning into a teenager and had very little tolerance for kiddie games.

@bwildrick: Yeah, that will show Mr. Ammirati!

Since when did Viewsonic make laptops?

@DreamTheEndless: Death's little brother: With linux installed on it! Pointless you say? But the hardware! And the colors! The trackpad! Isn't that all I hear from mac heads these days is the hardware anyway?

@iTofu 3GS has no reception problems: If you look at desktop web browsers, they're heavy programs yet do almost the same thing as the browser on my cell phone which is much lighter. I am hoping if we ever come to this that the antivirus software is almost unnoticeable when running our more powerful but more efficient…
