"It is a statistical certainty (p 10e-11) that there are innocent people being held at Guantanamo Bay."
State your assumptions. I agree that there are very likely innocents at Gitmo, but statistical analysis requires stated parameters. Otherwise, it's just making stuff up with math.
I loved playing King of the Hill in that circular arena, where the "hill" was a stripe across the diameter. Grab the biggest weapon you spawn near, get to the stripe, and run back and forth blasting anybody you can see. Die. Repeat.
That was The Zone for me. I'd stop thinking, and just play. That was good, good times.
You also might suggest to the copy editors that they take a look at the word usage of "stationery" on the first pic on the second page. They get it right farther down.
It sounds like they weren't even willing to answer intelligent questions about the specifications. If the spec is no good, the product will be no good.
"this just shows that people ran out to buy cheap DSLRs to join the crowd.. doesn't prove anything valuable to me."
Wow. You sound like an audiophile. I'm sure they didn't buy cheap DSLRs in order to learn how to take pictures, because everybody knows that you can only take good pictures with a zillion dollar camera.
Amazing. The rumors about what may come out next renders what DOES come out unimpressive. What a staggering revelation. I wonder if this is why Jobs wishes to contain the rumor mill?
Come on. You listened to the rumors. You know the track record of the rumor mongers. You drew the wrong conclusions. What did you expect? Matter transmission? Wireless power delivery? Get some perspective.

"peaceful and productive times?"
Ah, yes! The good old days! When were those again?

" all factor in the destructive capabilities of jagged pieces of glass and metal being introduced into an airflow going 500 mph."
So, basically, you wouldn't be happy unless they actually went up in an airplane and did the experiment at 500 knots.
I've got a suggestion. Use the show as a starting point for your own reasoning and thought experiments, and get your own airplane. And TV show.
Hmm. I wonder if they're just bodging stuff together to invite discussion. Shocking, wot?
Sounds to me like we don't need the media companies, either.
Earwax colored.
Didn't say it was bad. Didn't blow my skirt up, is all.
And it's still turd brown.
Bigger screen, with the same resolution, and available in shiny turd brown! WOO! I'll take two!
Because there are only four people who care?
"I'm really very irritated that they lied to us about the price and release date."
Who is "they"? Gizmodo? Engadget?
"don't be evil" is diametrically opposed to ""dirty tactics" the firm might be simply the best at getting the job done."
You either have integrity, or you do not.
"Who says that good gameplay and good praphics are mutually exclusive?"
They're not diametrically opposed, but I know which one gets focus in the market, and which one I care about. They're not the same.
"Yes, but anyone who believes what you've just written is not in Sony's core market focus group."
But I am, which is why I think the PS3 will be pants. (that means bad.)

So, you're going to bag on their opinion, and not offer one of your own? OK then. Thanks for sharing.
30 pages? Which means 30 paragraphs?
Uh, yeah. Uh, no.
Okay. I guess things will be fine, as long as the crowds of protesters don't have any eyeglasses. or contacts. or loose change.
Tell you what. You guys test it on yourselves. Publish the results (in something other than press-release one sheet form). Then we'll talk.

OK, so how far do the microwaves from a microwave oven penetrate the skin, and screw up pacemakers?
I understand what the brochure SAYS, but what it says doesn't make sense. What stops the microwave?

It's a useful data point, nothing more and nothing less.
"We love technology as good little consumer whores."
Got a mouse in your pocket?
For whatever it's worth, it hasn't happened yet. All of the firmware updates for iPods have been optional.
Potential issue? Yes. Actual issue? Not so much.
