Amen, brother!

I was holding out hope that the leaked shell was wrong and they'd go closer to the 16:9 dimensions of the new iphone/ipod. If it's purported to be a subsidized media consumption device, then put a media-consumption-friendly screen ratio on the damn thing.

Jump about 6 months into the future and see if the power button still works, then we'll talk...

I don't agree. We are talking hand-held photography, so it's a good idea to use that formula to help minimize shake. Plus, it's an easy suggestion for beginners to remember.

I'm not a huge gamer, but I was considering an Xbox to use as a Media Center extender. That was, until I found out I had to pay Microsoft for a Gold Membership to watch Hulu Plus and Netflix. Screw you Redmond. You just lost a customer. Hello Plex.

Nice!

As long as it's 720p, it'll be fine. The Pixel Density Nazis won't be happy, but they aren't who this tablet is for. And please, put away your magnifying glasses stop using terms like "horrible", "terrible" and worst of all "unusable" when it comes to products with less than maximum ppi. It makes you sound like an

Well, thankfully the worst offenders have been eliminated by obsolescence, the Nextel PTT addicts.

What's worse than hearing one side

OK, an Itchy & Scratchy AND a Galaxy Quest reference in the same comment thread? Geekgasm!

Itchy and Scratchy in space...Awesomeness

I don't know, looks pretty good to me. Great cast for sure, looking forward to Cranston's performance. It's no Avengers, but it can't be worse than a Batman movie with very little Batman in it (sorry). It's on the short list of remaining movies this year we'll see in a theater, besides Dredd.

You called CBS, ABC and CNN "reputable"? Maybe 20 years ago but now they are just as likely to grab a rumor and state it as fact as anybody. You have to give this story at least a week to let the sensationalism settle down and the real facts to come out. My thoughts are with the families of the victims.

Umm, I thought the trailer looked OK for "The Village", and look where that got me...the last 7 of my dollars ever going to a M. Night production.

That looks unbelievably awesome. Differing from the graphic novel, but still awesome. Is it October yet??

Same way that Kurtman and Orci were doing The Amazing Spiderman when they should be making season 6 of Lost...

Got zapped on the finger by a yellow jacket last summer while painting the house. Bastards were nesting in the soffit, and apparently don't like intruders. Probably the most intense pain I've ever felt, like a red hot needle embedded in my skin. My finger was throbbing and numb at the same time.

They've already signed him for GL2 (apologies to Mr. Reynolds) ((well, no, not really))

To quote J. Jonah Jameson, "Crap, Crap, Double Crap, what else you got?"

There's 2 examples that come to mind that really pissed me off
