@J2M3: and my first theory is destroyed. My other theory: did you "restore" your phone when you updated? Maybe, its just the applications becoming corrupted with time.

@ReberIsReber: Yeah, I think you're right. There is some material difference between older and newer phones.

My 3G phone runs much faster with 4.0. But I have two theories about why this could be:

@J2M3: Same here. My phone is running much faster. Although, I had to have mine fixed by apple when the ringer stopped working. I think that was about six months ago. This makes me think that perhaps slightly younger 3g models run os4 better.

My update was taking forever too. Three hours into it, I quit.

The first vuvuzela wasn't a vuvuzela? It was a bicycle horn? Hmm... Perhaps, the first car was a horse.

@bjaxon: The Blackberry Tour? Really? That's a 3 megapixel camera, which cnet describes as a "little fuzzy".

@bjaxon: Where have you been? Cell phone cameras are usually terrible. These are good photos for a phone.

With all this Kinect coverage, I thought everyone at Gizmodo liked this concept. I'm glad that's not the case. Motion based gaming is a gimmick or, at best, it's for little kids.

@ara313: That's what I wanted to vote for

@Crisss1205: Yeah, that was the best part! Too funny!

Actually, it sounds like it doesn't matter if you order a Iphone or not. Ordering an Iphone exposes you to other people's information, but doesn't necessarily expose your own information. Your information is at risk simply for being a AT&T customer. Good job, ah-ta-ta.

The new Iphone is a shiny black thing. Maybe, that's in the back of Microsoft's mind, whether they know it or not, when they asked themselves "shiny or matte"?

@Pinzgauer in Hawaii: It's not an X-box; it's a Halo-box! :)

@robelirobban: No, that's true. I didn't mean to say that if you're not doing FPS then you're not serious. And I suppose it does add the possibility of new fun options to different types of games.

@sneakypoo: Well, I think my bigger point is that it's the wrong audience. I suppose Microsoft is trying to widen their net with this, but, to me, this seems like a gimmick, not much different than the push for 3D in movies.

I don't get it. As someone that only plays FPS in a serious manner, what would Natal do for me? I think for a lot of serious gamers, which xbox 360 tends to attract in greater number, Natal is a joke. I think thats why your seeing the majority of votes in the "looks stupid" category. I play mostly Halo, and, with my…

@Bramsey89: Yeah, let's make fun of poor people. Hilarious. (For clarity, I'm being sarcastic).

@xsbs: yeah, it's sometimes fun to go to an actual store and walk around pick things up. I never really thought about it, but it might be sad to see that option disappear.

racial identity politics is racist. in france, its illegal for the government to even ask your race. it should be that way here: color blind.
