My idea of ideal computing in 2012 is a couch potato tablet that occasionally travels, my phone when I'm out and about and a gaming rig for when I want to get serious.

that would be great to have cheap tablets and, given your example, I can definitely see it happening. Like many business models this is akin to selling a shaver handle at a loss and making a killing on replacement razor blade sales. Be it x-box and games, or tablet and apps, or swiffer and disposable cleaning pads…

I've found the stop-stop-play combo to be very effective on most DVD's, it brings you right to the first chapter

Mike Lazaridis for vice president! He can be Mitt's running mate.

sounds similar to the insides of an iPhone or iPad. Everyone's been focused on when iOS and OS are going to be seamless, this looks like the hardware equivalent.

"That ain't the firggen Christmas star. It's a light on the sewage treatment plant."

This sponge is only the beginning.

Yet another reason to get an x86 tablet.

Personally I love how BSG handled religion by wrapping mono and polytheism together as an origin story. I was raised and groomed to be very religious but no longer would consider myself to be at all. I would say I have a high-school level of religious (christian) education and I can certainly appreciate a good story…

"Of course, a small amount of the fuel it saves will evaporate and be lost"... so how much does this really save?

As far as I know you are correct, album royalties are pretty low. I would add that the record sales generate interest in the band and additional albums retain the fan base and generates new interest. All leading to more concert ticket sales and, more importantly, t-shirt sales! I've heard from more than a few…

Congratulations! You're not a Cylon, your report came back green. And a very bright green at that.

agree, agree, agree. I've been holding off on a tablet because "my phone does that" and "my desktop does more". If I can do almost everything my desktop can do count me in for... something, maybe a tablet maybe some hybrid thingy. Personally, I like touch UI when done well, I'm very interested to see what…

I thought this was another advertisement for a miracle wrinkle cream.

It says "not for human consumption", I think it's obvious what happens next.

the app's been fixed already, all the recent comments are from people disappointed that the typo is gone.

same here, disappointing, why must every child's toy require batteries?

The new version of this has been bastardized into awful. It looks exactly the same from 3 feet away but it's mostly electronic now and takes batteries (why must everything today take batteries?!?!), the records no longer have teeth, just the concentric ridges remain that push buttons in the head. The songs are the…

terrible idea. On another note, is that picture real? I've been on a lot of flights and never have I seen the "please turn off electronic devices" light before, even on new planes. Since 2005 when I started flying I've always wondered why. It's always the antiquated no smoking light, as if someone might forget…

when I got my 120 hz TV I thought it looked like a soap opera but I was mesmerized by the motion and after 11 minutes I decided that I really liked it. Peter Jackson should have made his preview just a little bit longer. Now I don't even notice it anymore, I sometimes turn the function off just to see if it's still…
