@WampaCow: if you really want you can hook up any number of Bluetooth keyboards to a smartphone. But thats more for long form and a smartphones are plenty fine for quick notes as writing with pen and paper is just as slow as typing on a touchscreen.

I can't wait to install XCOM, Fallout, Ultima 7, and Crusader No Remorse/No Regret. Also this is DOSbox based and has a config file you can edit in case a game isn't working or is slow.

Big Blue needs to really work on these turn overs. My heart breaks every time I see a tipped ball interception. And I will allow Bradshaw to fumble every now again if he keeps up with his rushing.

@Doug Langlois: This was in 06. Even on my Acura TL i bought in '07, I am paying less with Geico! Despite my hate. Perhaps it was something about that Infiniti, I don't know.

Fucking Geico. When I had my old '99 Infiniti G20 (which at the time had a bluebook value of just under $4500) and they wanted $2500 every 6 months. With a clean driving record, and my only accident being the other drivers fault. It certainly took me less then 15 minutes to keep my old insurance.

I wish my public library would get ebooks So far their overdrive deployment is only mp3 audiobooks. I HATE audiobooks. The only ones I enjoyed were Sarah Vowell and John Hodgeman.

@link12245: Apple mice/trackpads have multitouch, and really zero buttons. It all depends on how you define it's behavior.

@AreWeThereYeti: well there is no buttons and yet it can left and right click. And two, three, and four finger gestures. So wouldn't that be more complicated?

After having the chance to play with the Sony, I can honestly say "meh" for now but if they can polish it up and run it on decent hardware, then we can talk about be spending the cash on any type of GoogleTV device. It just seemed underwhelming and underpowered. As an Xbox 360 (using media center addons I get my

I fail to see the issue. Every Mac sold represents a potential Windows or Office sale. If they would expand the Zune software package to OS X it would open the doors for WP7 and Zune users.

Image fail!

@Snapper: If you want objective news go report it yourself. Once it gets in the hands of a reporter, yourself included, the biases and opinions will come out.

@Greenskye: A private company has profits in mind so I would imagine the system would lead to shoddy construction/administration that emphasize profit and still end up cost "taxpayers" more in the long run.

@Arggh! there goes a...snake a snake!: A flat tax on some one who earns $20k a year vs someone who earns $75k+ is a big deal. It's the same bullshit argument that teabaggers use "well if I am going to get taxed more then why bother earning more money? Where is the incentive for making more if they are just going

@mjollnir11: The whole pirate series was my favorite. The ports, the ships, the spring loaded canons, the island natives, and the god damn ships were pure awesome sauce. The space set was cool but the underwater adventure set had shit that easily trumped the space series.

@FriarNurgle: This was the late eighties to early nineties.

Listen all Lego sets end up in the Giant Bucket at some point after you've tired of the original design. After getting all upset that you lost the original instructions or can't find that one piece that you need, you begin to realize the true value of Lego. In my youth I've had epic multi front wars between the
