Review: "Scream 3"

because I in fact DO want to know which movie to spend my money on seeing or not. If I know which movie is utterly stupid or a waste of time to see by reading the review AND the response that it gets in the forum, I consider the review helpful. The money that I save by not seeing a movie that has received a majority of negative responses/reviews, I would spend it on buying more hardware. Heck, if I had not wasted money on all the crappy movies that I've seen, I could have bought a pretty good workstation. Keep up the reviews/.!
I'd say it is. Remember those Coke machines that had a finger service running on them? The last time I remember seeing how much Coke there was at some university that I can't remember was in 1989. Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of them still running, or even new ones set up. That was just plain cool! An 'Internet Appliance'? Definitely in my opinion. Give a few years and I'm sure you'll see even your microwave oven having some sort of 'LCD screen and a 'net connection'. With all the really cool hacks out there, I'm sure we'll see someone that is running a web server off of their toaster oven. Who would've thought a Coke machine could be fingered?
Well then, maybe everyone that has a MS rebate check can as well. He's auctioning his check and succeeding at that because of the reason/meaning behind the check.
That's exactly what I was going to comment on. Is this article about gadgets, inventions, or what? It seems to try to cover the top 10 things that the author uses or comes in regular contact with. Though I would regard the last invention "electric hand dryer" as flamebait. Hehe.
My guess to "when will companies stop creating gadgets with "another new feature!" instead of creating something practical?" is that this is the first step toward something practical being created. I think it's great that there are companies pushing existing technology in new directions. It's also a way for a company to see/ test the market if there is interest and profit in that type of product. It might also be a way for small companies or new startups to get 'in' the market and be noticed. I wouldn't worry, checking email and browsing the web is definitely a huge "gonna happen" in the future. But you're right, as of now, the price is just a little too much. =(
