Seems like a good idea but I can't imagine trying to play NES with that small of a controller. I think it would be strange on a touch screen. Button mashers sure would be fun though.
Of all the things I would expect to hear NASA paying $19 million for, I never would have expected a Russian Space Toilet. I suppose it's better that they put the money down to get something that works rather than spending more money in developing something new. Still though, $19 million? That seems a bit extreme. Oh well. If it keeps the crew happy then I guess it's worth it.
It seems that the music industry is spending far too much time making an effort towards stopping trivial actions such as coffee shop music than finding a way to fix more important problems. I'm sure there are ways of embracing and using things such as this, the online guitar lessons and tablature that they're now trying to put an end to, etc. Taking actions such as this will only fuel the fire in most people in my opinion.
I have to agree, it's their product that they're releasing. For the most part, they should have the freedom to include what they want to include. At least they are willing to make some changes though. While I don't know how fair it is, it's nice to see them cooperating to make "a more level playing field."
I'm not surprised you have to send it in for such a high price like the ipod. Maybe I missed it in the article, but it doesn't appear to mention that Apple clears iPhone's when replacing the battery. I wonder how much of a hassle it is to back everything up? Just another added headache.
Personally, I don't have a problem with albums that are an hour long. What tends to get annoying is when an artist spends nearly two years on one album. I would support a shorter CD at a lower price if artists would begin releasing music more often. I'd much rather see them go back to the days of two albums a year. This allows for the new music to be spread over a period of time and also for the artist to stay in the spotlight.
I was thinking the same thing. It seems as if it would be easy to buy up multiple exploits and sell the ones that are popular at the time to make a profit. I suppose some buyers would feel cheated, but as long as some are getting what they want those few will be content. If someone is determined to get an exploit, they'll do whatever it takes.

I couldn't believe how it remained active either. At first I thought it was just a reflection but it was actually still displaying video.
Sounds like a good idea to me, but I'm sure there are going to be a ton of protests about privacy issues.
That's what I'm doing. I might move to Vista in a year or two, but for the most part I'm going to put it off for as long as possible.
