First there was the article about some website's poorly-written preview of the "Steampunk Action-Adventure game Dishonored", and now there's this. All that's left is for Ubisoft to announce "Tim Burton Presents: Dexter vs The Joker", and Hot Topic will be forced to start stocking a video game section.
All the talk of whether or not Steampunk is total rubbish aside... is it just me or is this guy a terrible writer? Is this what passes for journalism these days?
They've got a lovely burial plot picked out for Steve Jobs, it's a walled garden at a premium price that only the groundskeeper is allowed to enter. You may only leave specific kinds of flowers that you purchase from the groundskeeper, and upkeep only continues until the first rain, heatwave, or below-freezing day, then he has to be reburied in a marginally nicer walled garden at a steeper price.
The One Millionth Observation? "What's the deal with airline food [...]"
The 1,000,001st was about how women are different than men, followed by an anecdote about the Hubble, its spouse, and brushing teeth.
I don't know why comment is scored at -1, since this is the first thing I thought when I saw the story. Change a few text files and suddenly you're back in business. It's kinda sad that that's all it really takes to sidestep such a law, though, since they'd still be the exact same characters, just with a number ticked upwards by one.
A full head of hair and no fear of unwanted impregnations? This is the perfect pill for a mid-life crisis! Now if only "owning a muscle car" could be a common side effect.
Don't ban them! I have my murder trial coming up, and I already have it set up for the App Store to offer Angry Birds for free on the day the prosecution makes their case.
Don't you get a free online photo storage/sharing messaging service that includes a chat messenger and highly functional plugin-like apps/games?
"Don't you get an advert-supported photo storage/sharing messaging service that includes a ridiculously buggy chat messenger and vaguely functional plugin-like apps/games that are one of the main security issues in the first place?"
Fixed.
That would be the way it'd work for laptops, yes, except there are some issues that would come about with that. Viewing angle for the lower screen, when you have it positioned like a laptop, as well as battery life of running the two screens. The screenshots say a bit about their target market with this device, as it only shows uses that are rather... low-keyboard-use.
I highly doubt touch screens will ever replace the keyboards for desktops or laptops. Due to ergonomic reasons, the touch-keyboards would still have to be on a separate plane than the screen you're looking at. Imagine your computer's monitor having a touch-screen keyboard, bend your wrists and hands into a position that you could actually type with. Hold that position for an extended period of time. Weep tears as your wrists hate you.

By 'anonymous reader' do they mean their advertising department? How many "this game is-coming/just-came out" stories do we need on the front page?

This IS the website that now posts articles simply stating that a game came out that day.

I for one welcome our new Rubik's-cube-solving robot overlords.

There are two boardgames actually, and they both have expansions.
Honestly, all opinions on the case aside, the summary seems a bit biased.
I've had this idea before. Thought that's what happened to Pluto, when I was was in 3rd grade. I don't see anyone nominating me for a Nobel prize!

Adverts for nerds, ads that advertise.

Forget quantum computing... I want a dolphin-powered computer.

I'm so glad we can look to Slashdot for fair, unbiased summaries of news events. And failing that, we can look forward to things like this.

"Many less-clueful buyers"? Oh, well, then it's a good thing that Apple doesn't rely greatly on the strength of their marketing division.......
It just works.
