I am utterly shocked to see this coming from the NYT. This is highly anti-populist. Maybe there's hope for the NYT, after all.

It's sublime. I've tried nearly every sub-$100/fifth single malt I could lay my hands on, and this is by far my favorite. You can't get more character for twice the money.
I've actually done that, also. It does alter the flavor slightly, though I'm hard pressed to decide which I like better. Neat has the advantage of cutting the time between pouring and enjoying. :)
The joke is that I still have half a dozen games from the past three months that I've yet to finish, or even touch, in some cases! I'll not lack for options during the dry period.
It makes me cry to read how you ruin good scotch.
In under two months of playing Skyrim, I've doubled the number of hours played of any other game that Steam keeps track of. That. Speaks. Volumes.
Mass Effect 3, Borderlands 2, Diablo 3. I'm not seeing much else there.
It's not the use of prepared speeches I'm poking fun at (pun intended), but rather his reputation for flat-footedness when going off-script.
I seriously doubt Steam's going anywhere. Their product is kicking ass in their market space, and showing no signs of letting up, other than EA's naked attempt to compete.
The guy beside him is there to jab PresBO with a pencil if he deviates from the teleprompter.
I love Steam, but it also makes me nervous to have so much of my game library wrapped up in a single company's data vaults.
James Cameron to refilm Avatar sequels at new location.
Roaches AND Comcast servicemen? We need a new Poe work from this.
I'd probably argue against the Fire as well, though I think it's probably made more of a market impact. When I think "gadget of the year", i think of something that's going to save a life, like some new medical device. Maybe "consumer gadget of the year" would have been more accurate.
There's a trade-off between broad and deep. Skyrim chose to go broad by making the game world huge. The cast-off NPCs don't have any personality because creative and development resources are scarce things.
No, they didn't. I'm running Heroes 6, and have frequently received the message:
10% of my company's web users on on a Mac. How many of those on a Macbook Air? 10% of that portion? Maybe? Yes, such an important device. *eyeroll*
The only thing that would ever drive me to pirating games is for Ubisoft to continue with their ridiculous "always online" DRM scheme. That's even worse than requiring a DVD to be in the PC's drive in order to run the game.
You're making an incorrect comparison. Trading real money for counterfeit is the same as the "theft" scenario in the picture above. In the car metaphor they use, it would be the same as if someone stole your car and replaced it not with an exact duplicate, but with a cardboard cutout resembling your car.
