If we have to comment like men, you're going to have to do better than tripe like the highly arbitrary 'google report card' and vaguely substantiated opinion pieces concerning the percentage of smexy iphone users.

I know opinion pieces are intrinsic to gizmodo reporting, but seriously— "As you can see, the general pattern is that more complex cameras take better pictures. Interchangable lens cameras (like digital SLRs) make you look more attractive than your basic point and shoot cameras...

So, about #6... Does aiding and imbedding evil count as being evil, because I'm pretty sure they're still cozy to China in spite of press orgasm they had a few months back. How about Google nuetrality-gate? Doesn't that adbigate any moral highground google claims right there? Wifi data, anybody? I mean i could…

@Red Rocket: A fair point. But I'd hazard to say that's why Apple has always played second fiddle to MS in terms of laptops and desktops.

@Madeira: It's true. SO true.

@Raso719: For now, the FPS regime is in power. But soon, my brothers, WE WILL RISE UP AND TOPPLE THE DICATORSHIP OF HAND-WALKED MISSIONS AND HEAD SHOT FOOTSOLDIERS TO RECLAIM OUR SIMULATORS, WARGAMES AND RTS!

Optimized hardware is optimized hardware.

Safe from amatures, I guess. Anybody willing to take apart your computer for an HDD might just be willing to take apart the HDD itself, remove the platters and extract the data wholesale.

Seeing it live, hmm? I'm pretty sure you don't want to be that close to a few million super novi at any distance that could be considered "real time".

Hey, that guy picketing the corner has been preaching this for *years* now. Does that make him a genius, too?

@InsidiousTuna: Where have you been for the last decade?

@Vecha: I would think more for the computational ability than the graphics.

And all my friends that I talked to told me that upgrading my system to a Q6600 2.4ghz (overclocked to 3) was overkill. "You'll never need that sort of hardware in this decade," they said. "Do you do any sort of graphical design work?" They asked smugly.

I keep seeing Vulva Hero. I find this would make much more fascinating gaming material.

Okay, is a little computer CSI that hard here? The *exact* time and date of the copy operation would have been recorded by the OS and since Thompson obviously wasn't around to watch it happen, an alibi shouldn't be too hard to come by.

My kingdom for some anti-aliasing.
