A soldered battery means that it will almost NEVER pop out accidentally in your pocket or in your backpack. Thank you Apple for this great innovation!! I'm going to buy an iPhone right now!!!!
Don't forget that the 60 gig version has WiFi while the 20 gig version does not.
It really is a price cut. Most people were only interested in getting the 60 gig version because of the perception that the 20 gig version was a gimped console even though it really isn't.
It's hard to justify buying an Xbox 360 if Sony does cut their prices. There's so much more you get with the PS3 including HDMI, Blu-Ray drive for movies AND games, built in WiFi, free online forever, soon to be free MMO (Home), and HDMI. Looks like Microsoft may have to cut their own prices to compete.
Even the new 360 Elite model is getting RRoD at what seems like the same rate. Microsoft blew it big time, it's good they are extending the warranty but it would be better if they fixed the root problem too.
What's with all the anti-PS3 FUD?? A great PS3 exclusive just came out today with Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Right around the corner is Hot Shots Golf, Heavenly Sword, MGS, Gran Turismo, and dozens of other great exclusives.
The commute of Libby's sentence was the right thing to do even though it reflects poorly on Bush. You can't tell me that Libby deserved to go to jail for "obstructing" an investigation into whether someone committed a crime by outing a non-covert CIA agent. The prison sentence was nothing more than a which hunt and if Libby went to jail he would have been an American political prisoner.
Just because the man is a Republican doesn't mean he needs to go to jail. I understand that many here dislike Bush, but I don't see how calling for the blood of an innocent man helps your cause any.
Libby outed Plame who wasn't a covert agent?? Or wait, he "obstructed" an investigation into whether someone might have committed a crime by outing non-covert agent Plame? And the guy that "outed" non-covert Plame gets off free because PLAME WASN'T A COVERT AGENT?!?
Justice was served today. Libby didn't deserve to go to jail. Bush did the right thing by pardoning Libby even though he looks bad in doing so. I give Bush credit for standing and doing the right thing even when it's unpopular. He's done that many times in his presidency. It's good to have a president that governs based on morals and convictions, not based on the latest poll from CNN.
How are you leave off Debian GNU/Linux from the distribution list. Are you people just a bunch of idiots or what? It's obvious you Dellosers don't even know the history of GNU/Linux because Debian was the FIRST GNU/Linux distribution and continues to be the best GNU/Linux distribution. You'd have to be a complete moron to make a list of GNU/Linux distributions and leave off Debian GNU/Linux. It's obvious that Dell has no interest in supporting REAL free software, only a bunch of fake anti-freedom distros like Red Hat "Linux" (sic).
Dell you can go to hell, I am never going to buy your products again!!!
Motorstorm just came out yesterday, MLB 2K7 last week. Virtua Fighter 5 and Tekken came out about a while back. PS3 is definitely gaining strength, I'm glad I made the purchase back in November. Blu-Ray alone has been worth it to me.
Thanks to Windows Vista, I lost my job, my wife divorced me, my dog was brutally raped and murdered, I've been diagnosed with brain cancer, and I no longer find myself interested in sexual activity. I wish I had read the warnings on Slashdot prior to trying Vista. Thank you Slashdot for spreading the truth about the horrible contagion known as Windows Vista.
Yeah you're right, if we just sit at home and do nothing then terrorists will leave us alone. That idea worked great on September 10th, 2001 so let's try it again.
Only TWO ways to win the war on terror, take your pick:
Interfering with their politics? More like daring to a non-Islamic free society. To quote the Aussie PM:
Australia is a western nation. Nothing can, will or should alter that fact. As such, in this new world, we are a terrorist target. Those who assert that through some calibration of our foreign policy we can buy immunity from terrorist attacks advance a proposition which is both morally flawed and factually wrong.
It is morally flawed because this nation should never fashion its foreign policy under threat. The foreign policy of Australia should always reflect the values of Australia. Bin Laden identified Australia as a terrorist target because of the intervention in East Timor. Let me pose the question, if that threat had been issued prior to the invention in 1999 should the Australian government have pulled back? I think not. Would the Australian public have wanted the government then in the face of that threat to have pulled back? I think not. The proposition about your foreign policy being adjusted is also factually flawed because the victims of terrorists over the past decade have come from many nations sharing a full variety of foreign policy and strategic views.
Now I have to pay some homeless guy every time I want to buy a video game, not just when I want cigarettes or booze. Can GameStop start selling Olde English 800 to cut down on my transaction costs? Do these execs think high school kids are made of money??
Terrorists care about killing Americans and as a large city Boston has many Americans. Boston and other large cities in America are the target of terrorists and it's a mistake to think otherwise. The only way to make Islamic terrorists not want to harm us is for us all to covert to Islam. America is not willing to do that, so fighting for our freedom is the only alternative.
My tax dollars are being given over to pro-glowball warming scientists in the form of grants. Do these research grants which are often worth hundreds of thousands of dollars also constitute bribes?
I waited several hours in line on the night before release to be one of the first to use Windows Vista. I must say that Vista is an amazing operating system. It is hands-down the best product that Microsoft has ever put out, and probably the best operating system that the world has ever seen.
Why upgrade from XP? There's so much new in Vista that your head will just boggle. From new Internet Explorer 7 to desktop search features to a virus / spyware scan utility that eliminates the need for Norton, Vista is on the cutting edge of technology. Another thing that impressed me is the improvements Microsoft made to the little games that come with the OS. Solitaire, Minesweeper, and all your favorites are back with improved graphics and game play along with newcomers like Chess and Hold'Em. Did I mention the the Aero desktop environment is the worlds first 3D desktop?
Windows Vista is more than just an incremental upgrade, it's on a whole new level compared to XP. Congratulations to Microsoft for releasing an amazing product. They spent $6 billion and five years on this operating system and it really shows.
If you look at single-thread performance on Intel and AMD's dual/quad core chips, they meet or beat the best that single-core has to offer. I don't see why a multi-core system in the future will run single-thread apps any slower than right now. If anything I'd expect single-thread performance to increase incrementally as Intel and AMD are able to increase clock speeds.
I don't think iPhone will be a hit in Europe or Asia like it might be here in America. Two thirds of Apple's revenue comes from the USA. It's clear that Europe and Asia are not as infatuated with Apple's products as America.
What if you xcopy all the files on an XP CD to the hard disk. Maybe that will trick the Vista installer into working?
I pre-ordered the super-de-duper Bill Gates autographed Vista Ultimate Upgrade but I'm gonna return it if I can't do clean installs somehow. You'd think MS would let you insert an XP CD during the Vista install to "prove" that you own XP.
The producers of the television show 24 have a great DVD marketing strategy -- show some new footage that takes place just before the yet-to-be-aired season and package it on the DVDs of the previous season as a bonus. Unfortunately someone on YouTube screwed that strategy over and probably cost Fox a grip in DVD sales. They are out for blood.
Don't forget that over-the-air HD is now being broadcast by a ton of stations around the country. That means free HD content (minus cost of antenna), no need to sign up for cable / satellite. Also NetFlix now rents Blu-Ray and HD-DVD. This is great because the average retail price of a BR/HD movie is WAY higher than a standard DVD movie. See Terminator 2 where you can get the DVD for $9 or the Blu-Ray for $20. That's why I just rent them.

Do you even know what Libby was convicted of? Obviously not.
Hint: It's not outing Plame. The guy that "outed" the non-covert agent Plame wasn't even charged.

No remote access allowed unless the pilot flips a switch in the plane.
Some new young guy will show up with super powers and become the "new" Captain America. This stuff happens all the time, see Green Lantern.
