Those would be much cooler.

Other than Maldonado, who can be considered a pay driver in the current season? Sure, Alonso brought sponsorship with him, but he's not with Ferrari because of that.

There was one in Santa Monica.

That looks amazing! Can you point me to someone selling them?

I'm not sure that EA needs to tell us about games sooner. That's never been a weak area for them. Focus on quality and don't worry about additional pre-release marketing.

In one sense, almost all of them.

You're right, that was callously phrased. I tried to make my point glibly. And I'm sorry if you felt I was attacking you - I wasn't. But your comment also indicates you probably know what I was really getting at - the 5 year old boys being treated for acting like 5 year old boys are probably a bigger problem with…

And you realize that new medicine development isn't determined by what will be of greatest utility, but by what is most profitable? I'm not sure if it's still the case, but for over a decade Pfizer spent considerably more on their Viagra marketing budget than on their total R&D budget for all drugs. Similarly,…

Maybe it is simply that you're used to comparing your healthcare to that of the US. Setting such a low bar for yourselves, you've mistakenly thought Canada was doing a better job than it actually is. On the other hand, you're still managing to outperform the US at half the price, so it could be much worse.

For all people complain about the NHS, I hope they have some perspective on how much of it works quite well.

I would argue that the audience for Minecraft isn't casual gamers in the usual sense - very occasional players outside of the conventional gaming audience demographics. Minecraft largely pulls from a very traditional pool of gamers: kids. And they don't just play every once in a while; they play Minecraft as often…

I hope they aimed well when they went off. Not a lot of treeless room on either side. If that's the Mulsanne Straight, it was deadlier doing 60mph then than 200mph now.

It's spelled sepArate. As my English teacher said, "There is always 'a rat' in separate".

You know, it's getting pretty deep in Canadians down here in Los Angeles. What horrible things are you doing to drive your countrymen so far away?

I LOVE the Forza series. I started playing with F2. I pre-ordered Forza 3 and 4 VIP editions so I could play them with maximum available content on release day. I bought all of the DLC available (even though what I really wanted was more tracks, not more cars). Forza has always had a really distinctive sense of…

Yes. There are a multitude of perspectives.

Right. Let me know how you're getting on with your friends who advocate cannibalism and incest.

Did you miss the bit where he picked her up from a mental health facility and then the other bit where she ODed on oxycodone?

You make a good point. Some of it is probably just a result of how they set priorities. Apple's software teams are TINY. Where Microsoft has tens of thousands of engineers working on Windows, Apple only has hundreds, many of whom are also working on iOS. And they get further distracted by the secret in-house…

In answer to your question about why they do this to customers, the answer is security. Everything is engineered to limit the damage a single security lapse can cause. Now that each app has been sandboxed in iOS, they are allowing inter-app conduits in a very controlled way. So a universally accessible alternate…
