...why not mosquitos?!!! The most vile, annoying creatures to ever to roam the earth!

Seems you need some education about mosquitos and "vile creatures". Mosquitos are far from vile - they are actually a VERY IMPORTANT part of the ecosystem. Without the little mosquitos, you would have less food to eat never mind all the birds and other critters that would go extinct as mosquitos are their core diet.

If you want "vile creatures" that serve no purpose but to be parasites and generally vile, please consult the following photos of some real vile creatures. Enjoy and be happy that mosquitos are the most vile thing you have to deal with.

You would not but some fool somewhere would.

I think that Ms. Panettiere would make an OUTSTANDING controller for the Hayden Planetarium.

They just say so because there's no better than the PS3 to crack MD5, but yes, that's not really a "supercomputer", just a "superchip".
Unless you have a cluster of PS3s...

Or maybe they can just put them in charge of Gundam.

Your sig is pretty funny when you know the background behind it: http://www.gearfuse.com/the-japanese-agriculture-ministry-is-not-in-charge-of-gundam/

Creativity kills the music industry which runs on the status quo, that top 40 set of songs that we've been listening to for years that lately has been used to associate with product placement.

I like the idea of HACKING Guitar Hero by uploading your own songs.

I mean, if I'm going to shell out at least $200 for a joystick shaped like a guitar and some game with 70 songs when I can get a modestly priced electric guitar for less than than or a really nice acoustic guitar (like a Dobro) and learn how to play some songs from a website or a music instructor (I know a good teacher who charges $14 per session and you get to jam with other people learning how to play), then I think I should damn well be able to play songs not part of the game.

Best of all, I actually know how to play the guitar, get chicks, and won't have something like this happen when the game is over.

the emergency button for when mom walks in... quickly closes the browser window and brings up a minimised screen...

My wife's phone from three years ago had one. It also incorporated a dog game/simulator, and one of the ways to make the dog happy was to get your fingerprint swiped in order to pet the dog.

Now, what is new and interesting is the 813SH for Biz which has a remote control data destruct option, or even the slightly older P903i which comes with a wireless DES dongle that locks the phone once it gets out of range.
