LOL it's not bigger than the icon for the game disc, WTF are you babbling about?

So you STEAL cable.

This is NOT a new direction, the ads have always been there.

You're not missing anything- Kotaku is just posting BS fear-mongering garbage.

Haha that's what I said to my gf when I saw that yesterday in the dash.

It's ALWAYS had hads.

You pay for cable TV and it has ALWAYS had ads.

Word.

It was there in the last iteration of the dashboard. There has been no change. Why so upset now, instead of more than a year ago?

The update completely ruined the Netflix app in almost every way. It's damn near unusable now. I think they're trying to drive users to their other services.

nope

Your use of the word "yank" indicates you may be from the uk, yes?

Just got this in my email digest, so I'm late to the party.

I think that PvZ is GREAT for iOS when in line at the bank, etc, but I wouldn't play it on a "full" machine. Defense Grid is different- higher-quality, bigger budget, and the complexity and detail involved are such that I can't imagine playing it on an iOS-sized screen, especially my iPhone.

For me, the games like PvZ aren't hardly even tower defense games.

Don't feel bad. I had no idea what they're talking about either and I've been using teh Internetz for over 15 years.

Anyone that doesn't game on a PC missed them, sooo.....
