@BoxOfScraps: Lol, unfortunately that isn't going to help. I also find it good to have married someone who isn't as obsessed with tech as I am; my life is better balanced overall, and I save a bunch of money this way.

@celie_buckley: Really their journalistic integrity towards Apple has been on the positive side until the last couple of weeks. Now it is on the negative side and is actually refreshing. As long as Giz keeps a bit of a negative view towards Apple, I can read the news from the pro and the anti Apple camps, allowing me…

I hoped for more, but would be relatively content if it is merely a Wiimote with Motion-Plus experience. The true test is always in what the games do.

I have started using my NAS to charge my MP3 player. It works really well and doesn't require me to leave the laptop on overnight just to charge something.

Hmmm, I may need to try this. I finally got a reasonable onsite backup plan but am missing a good offsite option. External HDDs are too much of a pain to remember to bring home and resync every month. I tried Microsoft's SkyDrive but couldn't find a good free tool to upload to it with, and the space they provide would…

@thegreatpablo: This is my thought as well. I would much rather not have surround sound and just have two good quality speakers, no sub, and get really good sound out of them. The advantage of going with a two speaker set up, is you can get really good quality ancient speakers at thrift shops for next to nothing if…

@BoxOfScraps: Not that I would ever buy a sound bar for surround sound, but there are a lot of people who don't want wires running through their living rooms to place speakers in the correct locations.

@timestep: Maybe they will offer background downloading for firmware updates.

@Alleris: Just move to Canada. The iPhone will be on 3 major carriers, the only 3 major carriers, and be available unlocked if you want.

Okay, I understand gadget lust and needing to have the latest and greatest of every Apple product. But honestly, who cares enough to keep trying for 15 hrs to preorder a phone?

@ModernBawhair: I knew going for one of those super thing LED backlight TV's was a bad idea. They are too thin for true 3D.

Does anyone make a good quality PS3 controller that is a bit smaller in size overall. I got my wife playing ModNationRacers but the controller is a bit big for her and her hands cramp after about 5 races.

@pinecone99: Thanks for the link. Now to find the easiest way to get it in Canada.

Just make sure it drives like a good arcade racer and I might buy it.

@TylDurden: And to think I only just now learned that the PS3 Slim has physical buttons.

As nice as it would be to have a standard that everyone used for video calls, I find it unreasonable to expect Microsoft to cater to Apple. Essentially Microsoft is doing what Apple has done all along, develop a closed ecosystem that encourages you to continue to buy more devices/services that are within that…

@GrandMaster: Sounds a lot like the iPhone

@KevanB: I would imagine the 250 GB model will be priced at the $299 with the 500 GB filling in where the 250 currently sits. So if he waits for the new models he can get a 250 GB plus 802.11N for the same price as the 120 GB now.

Oh no, the Playboy Bunny Zombie, now with very pointy teeth!

@White-Sharingan: I don't like 3D because most of the theaters in my town will only show it in 3d for the first week or two, and I refuse to pay the extra money for 3D. As a result the theater looses out on my money because after two weeks all the motivation to see a new release is pretty much gone and I can wait for…
