@Befitzero: Paypal is honestly a pretty shitty service, especially for sellers. I try to avoid it if at all possible.

@Pezdispenser: I'm pretty sure there's been at least one case of a vigilante posing as a kid to take down predators online - I only know this because I was writing a satire comic about it and then it actually happened, which made it kinda awkward to try to finish it.

@CubemonkeyNYC: Okay, I'd definitely like to see a source for that, because I'm coming up dry. But even assuming it's true: so their solution to stop people from overloading their networks with tethering was to disable the functionality unless you jailbreak your phone, at which point they have much, much less control…

@RenRen: That would ruin the form factor, though - you need a way to do it with electric shocks, but that would probably worsen the signal attenuation. Maybe it couldn't, I'm not an antenna engineer (although I guess neither were Apple's designers...).

Whoa - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is available for the iPhone....and it is awesome. When did this happen and how did I miss it? It's surprisingly playable, even with touchscreen controls - I just wish I could remember where all the secret tapes are...

@Kenshi_Ryden: I think it's reality - otherwise there wouldn't be two sets of kids in the credits for their two different ages. :P

@mindsale: As for B, I've heard the theory that dying only wakes you up if you realize you're in a dream (or you're the victim of the extraction, in which case they can just give you a kick after you die in the dream). Since Mal thought that limbo was reality, killing her there before the inception would have broken…

@Sir_Bobalot: The battles themselves don't get much better, but the further along you are in the game the better you can customize your characters with materia or whatever.

@Toshi: Mega Man Legends. The second one is more polished and has a much more intriguing story, but I loved how all the optional dungeons in the first game fit together under the island. With the right tools, you can use the dungeons as a really efficient system of shortcuts - shortcuts filled with Reaverbots that…

So last night, my DVD copy of Super Mario Bros. [The Movie] came, and I watched it with my girlfriend. It's still way more awesome than all the Internet Haters make it out to be.

@CubemonkeyNYC: I doubt it, since until recently you literally could not tether a non-jailbroken iPhone over AT&T's network at all.

I hope this keeps happening until we get free tethering. Fuck AT&T in the ass with their own unreliable cell phone towers.

@Sprzout: Pictures? On the Internet? What madness are you speaking of?!

@PixelProphet: Websites? Torrents? Fuck, kid - back in the day, we'd loop the binaural sounds ourselves using this crazy little MS-DOS utility. You could adjust the frequency to whatever you wanted, lay them under a musical track, create a loop that cycled through different frequencies as you slept - basically…

@NuevoLeon: Really? That's cool - like I said, I've never actually gotten to use it, but it seems like a brilliant system to seamlessly integrate into contact handling.

This is only tangentially related, but the pic up there includes the icon for Bump (I think that's what it's called?), an app that trades contact info with someone if you both hold your phones like a can of beer and tap your hands together. I bought it back in the day, thinking it was a cool idea (and a much better…

@GundamAC197: Hey now, it's on The List - you know, that list of things you need to read/watch/play/see before you die that everyone keeps track of in their head? As soon as I'm done with Deadwood I'll probably give it a shot.

@sandorasbox: I haven't actually seen Arrested Development, either - my girlfriend keeps telling me we have to watch it on NetFlix sometime, though.

@An Atheist Jew: Then maybe it's just the trailers for the movie - I know I'm losing Major Geek Cred here but I've never read the comics. As long as Scott Pilgrim doesn't come off as the same milquetoast that Cera plays in every single one of his movies, maybe I'll check 'em out.

I must be the only person on the planet that is not looking forward to the upcoming movie. The role just seems absolutely perfect for Michael Cera. Nothing should be absolutely perfect for Michael Cera, though - being awkward is not any kind of substitute for being entertaining.
