Being able to tweak multiple parameters on a softsynth simultaneously would be fantastic. Currently, you need to assign knobs on a real-life control surface over MIDI. Being able to just reach up to the screen and 'grab' a knob would bring you closer to the sound design process.
Amazon take debit cards, no problem. I have a corporate AmEx for business expenses and no personal credit cards. If a site won't accept Maestro, they've lost this particular customer.
If you never took a class on understanding what bias in reporting really means and how it is achieved, you don't understand it. I suggest reading up, starting with this excellent article which shows you many of the techniques used in the mass media today.
I take it you believe the entire readership of Slashdot is ignorant or retarded ?
My advice to you is to keep reading as much as you can and keep taking as many courses as you can - they seem to be doing you some good. For the rest of us - well, some shit is just plain obvious.
This could be the app that makes casual- and party-gamers splurge on a console for themselves. I suspect the console chosen would be whatever they played the game on at a friend's house.
Where will the next revolutionary sound come from? We can simulate nearly anything in software now, so what does that mean for the future of new instruments?
The next revolution will be nothing to do with raw sound, as we currently have the technology to create any sound to the nth degree of fidelity. The most important thing in musical performance is to inject expression into those sounds so that they resonate emotionally with the listener.
Quite how much potential is left in music technology to inject expression remains to be seen. The electric guitar, the grand piano, the human voice, a synth with many real-time controllers (like the Yamaha CS-80), a flute, French horn, pipe organ, etc. are all capable of transporting the listener into another domain in the hands of the right composer and musician.
You can let a non-musician have fun with music through Guitar Hero, Wii Music, etc. However, it's doubtful if any kind of cookie-cutter scenario can let non-musicians express emotions through music, or even if they have that internal vision in the first place, which they would love to realise through the medium of music.

Now you tell me with a straight face what you think of that!
I would.
That KXCD is so not applicable in this case. Hand in your geek card on the way out.
where a raven swoops down out of the sky and snags the coin midair and flies away with it.
I hate it when that happens. Scurrilous wee flappy raven bastards.
Use WINE if there's something you can't do without.
I can't do without Propellerheads Reason, you insensitive clod !
your come environment.
Ewwwwww. It would have been quicker to say "basement".
But when you add video you remove that need for our mind to make such connections.
"I like radio because the pictures are better".
Computer. Computer ? Hello, computer !

You need help.
Wooooooo-wheeeeeeee, you need help !

deluding themselves into believing that others actually give a shit what they have to say.

"Welcome to LEDs Magazine, the leading global information source for the LED community."
Wow, just wow !
"Why is it called 'rolling' the window up or down?"
For the same reason you 'dial' a telephone by pushing buttons.
The more you say "dial" the funnier it sounds.
"What's wrong with the status quo? It works for me!"
You're much more likely to hear Status Quo than Britney Spears on a classic rock channel.
How about the 50th anniversary replica of the Manchester Mk1 'Baby' ?
You can ask me any question any way you want.
I couldn't help reading that as "fear to fear".
First genuine LOL of the day. Thank you !
How did you get a suntan working in a glasshouse ?
