Actually, they are already working on the PS4. There was an article on/. a couple weeks ago regarding Sony getting together with nvidia or ati (can't remember which) about designing it.
How has nobody in this thread mentioned the N810's built in GPS? Nothing says "I know where wifi is" than a list of geo-coords to back it up!
Not to mention that the built in map program has a list of Gizmo (paid) wifi spots. There is also osm2go that allows you to edit osm maps (adding wifi spots, etc) on the fly in the field
If an activity involves your ass being in contact with a couch, bean-bag, chair, etc. it cannot qualify as a physical activity that promotes good health.
So much for my wheelchair racing activities, and have you ever tried to get OUT of a bean-bag chair?!? That's like 10 minutes of exercise every time to use the washroom or get snack!
You have just touched my argument against what they have done. They are aiming directly at video games and while they can contribute to inactive lifestyles, so can a lot of things that most people PROMOTE. What about board games (which you mentioned), reading, building model cars, playing cards, or god forbid, STUDYING!
The truth is that EVERYTHING we do can contribute to our death if we do too much of it. Play too many video games and you can become obese, build to many model cars and you can inhale paint fumes, exercise to hard and you can have a debilitating injuring, study too much and you can become a recluse (causing obesity), wash your hands too often and you can lower your immune system.
People need to stop freaking out about every little thing they do and just realise that moderation is everything. Everything can kill you, but few things will do so in moderation.
From what I remember, they main reason they cancelled the project was when they had a "technical" mistake. They dropped the bats out in the desert as a test, but unfortunately, they were not far enough away and found their way back to the base...
I haven't looked into the OSDL, but if you are going to donate money to an organization with FOSS and customer rights in mind, please also consider helping the EFF. I have not affiliation with them, but they are constantly working to protect our rights and have never heard even a hint of them doing anything immoral, disrespectful or dishonest with the money donated to them.
Until they decide to add a clause to your contract stating that you still have to pay for the connection cost of the remainder of your contract. The exception being shaw and a couple others who don't have contracts.

Remember, some of us actually have REASONS for picking a particular console!

No kidding, we buy our cats bouncy-balls, and they ALL end up under the SAME shelving unit!
You can buy mainframes with a warranty and guarantee, meaning that IT WILL NOT CRASH.
Well, until they put Windows on it...

Ironically, giving slashdot a challenge you do want fulfilled tends to return nothing but sarcasm...
I guess the "rooms at the bottom of the stairs" are limited places...

Actually, it sounds more like a challenge to me.
I learned a LONG time ago to NEVER, EVER give slashdot a challenge you don't want fulfilled!

That tells me they want to transfer you to a high-bandwidth line and charge you more for it ;)
