@enlargedhousecat: Yeah, that's how the lame scientists pronounced it after they caught Alf. He didn't buy it and neither do I.

Insert your own joke here, eh?

What's most amazing is that he was able to keep his composure while Will Smith yelled fat jokes at him.

@captfoss: Great! I can't wait to edit my web site and do some word processing on it! -_-;

So hey, I've been using this laptop for about four years and am interested in an upgrade. What's my best bet on a tight budget? I can't really pay more than $500 (MAYBE $600). The machine doesn't have to be incredibly high performance, but I do need these features:

"This is not what Sony needs to do. They need to get to their developers and deliver a message: Don't copy Wii, do something PlayStation."

Awesome! I'll ask Nermal to take some pictures for me.

Wow, it's like Abe Vigoda snuck into the film Tron!

@the.munson: You mean you USED deodorant for the first time in a decade!

So, people come to your house and have you play with a device that looks like a remote control? Hmm, where HAVE I heard that before?

Hm, remind me to try this when Gingrich or Palin becomes president.

Pardon me boys, is this the Chattanooga bullet train capable of reaching the speed of light?

Hell yes! Bring it to Michigan and I'll be all over it.

No, there will always be content for alternative interests if you know where to look for it. That may change if net neutrality is killed, however. Once the telcos and cable companies are given control of that "last mile" of wire, religious groups will pressure them to block access to adult sites, and they will…

@tastypotatoes: But now that these games are being packed with vouchers (ie Project Five Dollar), this could change. I could very easily see the game publishers exploiting this ruling to the hilt... they just have to find some clever way to do it.

Oh, bloody hell. This is going to give T*HQ a boner that stretches out to Detroit. Meanwhile, GameStop can pretty much pack up its bags unless they've got the bribery- er, lobbying money to fight the decision.

@Mazzle: Maybe more of a PR campaign, but hilarious either way. It's even better if you imagine Clippy with Gilbert Gottfried's voice!

"Microsoft has no presence in the smartphone market and the iPhone has sold millions of units, with 250,000 programs on its App Store? No, I don't like that at all. Let's look at that again through the magic of SELF-DELUSION!"

A free MP3 player from Napster, just as I cut loose Facebook... wow, that couldn't have been timed any better! I shall persevere, though. I ended my Facebook account and it will STAY ended!

I hate these obfuscated watches with every ounce of my being. If I have to ask someone for the time while I'm wearing the watch, it's not doing its job! Sweeping hands or digital readout, thanks.
