The Wii U controller looks like a wicked mix of a normal controller, a handheld and a tablet. Why not just release the controller as the console itself...
I have a Das Keyboard, which is also a clicky, mechanical keyboard. Costs €120, but it's really worth it. The only downside is that every other keyboard feels horrible after getting used to it:/
The reason I use Firefox is that unlike Chrome it doesn't hide useful information to save a few pixels. Now I already need one extension to keep it the way it was before (statusbar was removed in FF4), and it looks like I will soon need more...
I managed to save someone from buying a "quality" cable.
My friend has a PS3 and was going to buy an "official" HDMI cable for it, costing around 30€, but I said that 10€ cable works just as well. He knew that I know a lot about electronics and followed my advice. And as I expected, the cheap cable he bought works perfectly.
It's always nice to help others with stuff like this, the only downside is that they usually don't pay me anything:(
Sure, it may be cooler to watch videos by waving your arms, but still... buttons are more accurate and faster to use. What's wrong with using the controller for controls?
Oh, by the way, could someone create a clever Perl script which produces an endless stream of news from this? Bonus points if you can make it look like the Apple logo.
Moreover, the divide between myself and those who have the sweet cars, fast women, and kickass houses is growing bigger and bigger every year, and I think it's high time that the government stepped in and gave me the crap I'm asking for.
The divide between you and the government is also growing bigger and bigger every year, and that's the real problem.
One reason why these "genre-blurring" games are not so popular could be that they're really hard to advertise. If you make a new FPS for example, it's easy to list out things which makes your FPS better than others. But if you make a totally new kind of game, there's nothing to compare it to. These games may become huge successes, but it usually takes time (like Minecraft - under 20k sales in the first year, 100 times that in the second), and companies rarely seem to think about the future - they want profit NOW.
Besides, if a game costs 50$, gamers rarely buy it if they have no idea of what they're going to get. Cheap casual games are much easier to sell.
There was an article in a Finnish computer magazine about this. Even though Finland used to be pretty much the best country when it comes to IT, nowadays most workplaces and schools have really bad computers full of security software that slows them down even more. The most popular solution is to bring your own laptop to work, which not only makes all that security useless, but is a huge security risk in itself. But, as someone said, "everything that really works is banned".

So there actually is a country where copyright holders don't rule the Internet!
Wasn't the target of Stuxnet some nuclear power plant in Iran?
It may barely work with desktops (if you're close to the servers), but with mobile devices I'm quite sure that they're unplayable in reality.
I wonder how many people they still will sue until they realize that piracy can't be stopped anymore except by shutting down the whole Internet.

I don't know if it's intentionally ironical, but I laughed for at least a minute.
Here in Finland you have to pay €15,000 just to have a wired connection in some areas.
Easier to just get rid of version numbers and use a rolling release system.

If the malware is distributed with Word docs, then how can it infect Linux? Does it work with Open/LibreOffice too?
You forgot the button that makes you unable to write on Facebook while drunk.

"The A[3+n] processor will be included in Apple iPad [n], which will be released in [2009+n]."
I just saved you the trouble of thinking
It's not pathetic until someone mentions "the right to Facebook".

...it already is. Not that it really changes anything.
I wonder if I can confuse it by saying that my perfect girlfriend would be real and not just bits on a server far away.
What processes are there in place to allow challenging such claims?
The most effective is called "money".
"The new measures will allow for users to be disconnected from the Internet for up to 6 months, based on infringement claims from copyright holders."
It's official: big businesses rule the world.
Suddenly those privacy leaks that happen every once in a while sound much scarier.
