Here's hoping the card Yoko's holding back is, "No Beatles until you stop running the iPhone App store like a schizophrenic puritanical fascist dictatorship."

There were always disposable episodes in Futurama, they were incredibly rare and granting of such title varied between fan opinions, but there's a few. The sad thing about this new season is that the majority of the episodes have been disposable. I could probably watch each episode of seasons 1 - 5 a hundred times and

@MifuneT: I think I paid a little over $300 for my 32" this April. Pretty decent I thought, but I'm not going to balk at going even lower!

@SG-17: As I recall, Eureka accounted the minor differences in timelines to the fact that they're following the "ripples in a pond" theory of a self-repairing space/time continuum, as opposed to the "step on a butterfly and Hitler wins WW2" effect.

It's worthy to note that there's a lot of actually useful improvements to the Paypal app in this iteration, with feature additions that could almost completely relieve a person from using the mobile site, and a much improved GUI. Bravo Paypal team!

Wait...so does Warehouse 13 share the same alternate universe that Eureka's story arc is current in the midst of? Wouldn't that kind of matter? I guess I should probably watch, but for some reason I doubt that question will be answered.

@sam-a: $90 isn't terrible. I was mostly thinking of WoW or STO's $15/month. I can't believe so many people are willing to shell that out. But even worse are the folk that say, "But it's only $300 to play forever!" as if that's somehow going to sway a person who can hardly afford the price of paying 3 months at a time.

Bit of warning about side tabs on Chrome, don't enable it unless you're completely familiar with your keyboard shortcuts. A lot of the mouse-click functionality will disappear when —enable-vertical-tabs is added (including the titlebar minimize/maximize/close buttons)

I had to double check to make sure this wasn't an Apple patent diagram.

Finally an MMO I'd be willing to shell out an outrageous monthly fee for.

—enable-vertical-tabs will totally frack up Chrome 5. Proceed with caution, I ended up with 50 pixels wide of viewable area and 1000 devoted to the tabs.

@jsheely: The only time I ever see people using IE these days are folks who have almost that many tool-bars. Makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon every time.

@space_monkey: I bought my TI-89 in 2001 for $84. I can't believe its price has nearly doubled in the last 8 years. (well I believe it, just don't like it). The damn thing is still completely functional and doesn't look terrible, I ought to stick it on eBay for a 100% return!

The most often required graphing calculator for High Schools at present is the TI-84, which retails for $120 at Best Buy. Considering the overwhelming amount of power inside the SciCal, compared to the 15mhz Z80, 2MB of rom, and absurdly low-resolution B/W screen inside the 84, $200 is a damn fine price.

No, strike that, let's make a game that is controlled by driving an actual car, which in turn controls a virtual car in a CGI environment, which is a manifestation of an RC car on a miniature track somewhere, which in turn controls MarioKart for SNES.

With a full keyboard built-in to all variations of the device, I'd like to see some nethack-style text adventures. That's all I really want to play.

Epic win on # 44. I'm surprised it's taken so long for somebody to 'shop iOS onto a Newton.

@Tetsuooooooo: Cool. Yeah I figured stuff like that has existed for awhile, it's just nice to have it integrated with your primary media player. (Which is why this new service by Apple would be attractive to iTunes drones)

@Tetsuooooooo: Good deal then. Data connection bandwidth permitting, it seems like just running your own UPnP would be the best solution anyway. Certainly cheaper, not requiring a $100 mobileme subscription, and would give you access to your entire music library, not just stuff backed up to iDrive.
