I think that the PS3 is largely responsible for this outcome. I've heard it cited in numerous reports as a major driver of blu ray sales, so even though it's been disastrous otherwise, the PS3 may have actually paid off for Sony in a way most people didn't expect.
While I think having more space would be great, I'd hate to lose the Wii's small form factor in my entertainment cabinet. Maybe it'll be somewhat modular rather than an external box attached via USB or some other wire?
I like this idea. Hell, even throwing the trash in the direction of the Earth on a space walk would be better than just letting it float away, and would also provide the altitude boost you suggested.
They're probably part time workers/college kids for the most part. Maybe some of them are even employees of the store. Just sleep outside then go in to work!
Awesome, I'm sitting here during my lunch break at work, checking out that page, and what do I see under some of the sample captchas? Goatse, barely distorted.
I've always wondered why designers don't use something simpler such as showing a picture of an easily identifiable object and requiring the user to identify it. This would work in 99.9% of cases. Alternatively, for the screen reader crowd, the check could something like, "What is the fifth word in this sentence?" There's probably some obvious flaw with this technique that I'm not thinking of, or I imagine it would have been done already.
The confusing babble is part of the reason why we have lawyers. Nearly everything can be argued in court and lawyers just make more (paid) work for themselves by having the T&C be confusing in the first place.
The point is that, like the article alluded to, they're desperate for a physical product to compete with piracy and online sales. Granted, it seems like a disaster in the making but, especially in recent years, the music industry isn't exactly known for its ability to work well with the real, changing market, is it?
I'm in a similar situation. I finished grad school in May 2005 and I consolidated my loans when interest rates were at their all time low. I managed to live more frugally that I had hoped, and I graduated with a substantial chunk of leftover cash. I am now paying 3.25% interest on that money while I'm seeing 5.05% from my money market account and even more (~10%) from my modest stock investments.
Anthony Hopkins: So you're saying that it would be difficult? Tom Cruise: Very. Hopkins: Well, Mr. Hunt, this is not Mission Difficult, this is Mission Impossible. Difficult should be a walk in the park for you.
What I find a little scary is that two years ago not a single team finished the Darpa Grand Challenege. There were cars driving off into the desert, into fences, and through sand pits. They finally had finishers last year, but are we really ready to put these things on the street now?

Do you mean Kelo v. New London?
'We've been training for this for seven years. We can't wait for this to happen.'
Cue heartbreak and disaster.

They announced that there would be a DVD version released this year even before the platform launched last fall.

I'm sure that a study of "1000 shoppers" had to include mostly IE users.
Does that apply to the current recall or just the December 2005 recall?
To quote a great man, the MPAA is just the diet coke of evil. Just one calorie, not quite evil enough.
I did, back in college. It was shown annually before the start of each year's Killer game.

That video is pretty neat. Maybe there could be an application on rigid surfaces like reinforced windows and such.

That's what secondary batteries are for. I'd imagine that most frequent business travelers would be prepared for such a situation.
"and it's not quite there yet"
Hence why it's coming out next year, not now.
Or mechanically depressed for that matter.
Come on, Open Source was asking for it... going around flashing its goods to anyone who cares to look.
Touche
Wow, I don't think I've heard the term "rad" since 1988. Ok, mod me off-topic into oblivion.
Hehe, that reminds me of Mission Impossible 2.
Anthony Hopkins: So you're saying that it would be difficult?
Tom Cruise: Very.
Hopkins: Well, Mr. Hunt, this is not Mission Difficult, this is Mission Impossible. Difficult should be a walk in the park for you.
Sorry for the OT.
