Yes, it is just a copy. Regardless, it is something that very few people can do with this level of fidelity.

Hmmm....A guy with a vested interest in people sharing more via social media predicts people will share more via social media. Nothing to see here.

It varies depending on the gadget, but these are rough estimates

This is what happens when you take the risk of being an early adopter. Shouldn't come as any surprise.

To each their own. I LOVE the Stand, but I don't think you give Cronin enough credit. Aside from the fact that they both use the premise of a virus that wipes out humanity as a major plotting device I didn't find them to actually have all that much in common.

Was wondering this myself. A lot of people have been waiting for this one for a long time.

Come on Stephen I don't think you're quite as ready to make the leap as you think you are. Not having enough square footage for a PC is simply an excuse...you are not the first nor the last gamer to live in a city like LA or NYC and the vast majority of them manage to find a suitable location for their rigs. I'm not…

I have to agree with most of this. There's a lot of things wrong with this country, but the first thing that would have to happen in order for me to regain my optimism would be for us to elect a President who manages to actually inspire me, not fill me with dread at every opportunity. Obama isn't that person. Frankly,…

Andrew Ryan approves.

Yeah as others have also said I'm sorry to hear that you're not having such a great time. There are certain aspects of the game that I dislike as well.

Giant's system is great, I've been using this for some time now.

They have a self scanning system at the grocery store I shop at and I've been using it for years. The kiosk that you have to stop at to pay randomly selects orders to be audited by a store clerk. They then give you $5 off your purchase for the inconvenience.

When trail riding I have earbuds in continuously, but I would never wear them while biking on a public roadway so I doubt I'd get much benefit from Google Maps.

Nah the government stopped using the Hanta Virus story once Kurtzweil figured it all out.

Aside from the last few years life and his addiction to alcohol and painkillers George Carlin's was a life I could only hope to emulate. He was a brilliant and successful comedian who had no patience for hypocrisy or political and corporate bullshit.

I've never shopped in an Apple Store. I've never even stepped foot in one. But if for some reason I ever decided to and heard an employee using some of these pointless euphemisms I'd be back out the door in a heartbeat. I usually find behavior like this to be transparent and frankly insulting.

Same. I don't need or even want the extra toys, props, etc. Since neither of these editions include Elite I'll just be getting the standard game. C'est la vie.

When I first saw the headline I assumed it was a Faraday cage. Reading the actual article was a bit of a disappointment.

Interesting analogy, I definitely like the cut of your jib.

If that's your preference, so be it. You're missing out on a fantastic game (warts and all), but I can't disagree with anyone who chooses to voice their opinion with their wallet.
