In-Game Web Browser Round-Up

theodp writes "CNET takes a look at Web browsers you can run inside of the latest video games, offering mini-reviews of PlayXpert, Steam, Rogue, and Xfire. Why run these instead of your standard browser? Well, these browsers run lean and mean, play nice with full-screen apps, provide hot keys that can make them appear or disappear in an instant, and offer transparency so you can continue to play a game in full screen while chatting, reading e-mail or looking up cheat codes. So how much longer before we see a variation of this on our real-world car windshields?"

Oh good. Something else to do while driving

Hopefully never. People already have enough things to distract them while driving. Do they really need another one?

When I was in college, I used to eat subs, eye drops in my eye, splash cold water on my face (long drives), take off a jacket, even pull off a pullover while driving. Once, I even had a plate of spaghetti on my lap.

So what do you think would happen if a ball rolled out into the street in front of your car, followed by a laughing child?

You were a complete asshole when you drove like that. I hope you've wised up, but it sounds like you still think your masterful driving expertise allows you to control things outside your card.
