  2. Re:Cranked up to 11 on Why Music Really Is Getting Louder · · Score: 1

    I carry, just like you, always ear plugs with me. But do you agree with me, that it shouldn't be necessary in the first place?

  3. iChat on No Third-party Apps on iPhone Says Jobs · · Score: 1

    I hope they will bring iChat AV to the iPhone; if they get it right, it will be the killer app.
    Of course, the camera has to be on the front, so this will be a 2nd generation thing....

  4. Re:Wireless, More Space Than Nomad... on iPhone Faces Uncertain Market · · Score: 1

    I think you are right, BUT it will take 2 generations at least. Why? Same as the iPod, it's expensive. I think that when Apple releases an iPhone mini, the iPhone is going to dominate.

    DID YOU KNOW? NINTENDO GAME OFFERINGS HEAT UP AS THE WEATHER COOLS DOWN

    July 25, 2006 - The fourth quarter of 2006 will herald a new era for Nintendo with the launch of its remarkable new Wii(TM) home video game system. But that's not what this news item is about! How could that be, you ask? Perhaps the secret to the launch information for Wii is somehow encoded in the text of this news item. You might want to pore over it for a few hours before staying up all night to debate phraseology and comma placement with your friends online. Or maybe it's all just a scam to get you to read the other games we have launching this fall. One of the two.

    As the weather cools down, the Nintendo portable game offerings heat up. FINAL FANTASY® V ADVANCE makes its way to Game Boy® Advance SP on Nov. 6. As series go, FINAL FANTASY is to video games what James Bond is to movies. FINAL FANTASY loyalists will enjoy an opportunity to debate which installment was best.

    Nintendo DS(TM) owners are the big winners. Every week or so, another huge DS title hits, from the Touch Generations title Clubhouse Games(TM) to fan favorites like Elite Beat Agents(TM) and Yoshi's Island(TM) 2. Clearly a gamer's idea of paradise, here is Nintendo's upcoming DS lineup:

    Oct. 9: Clubhouse Games(TM)
    Oct. 16: Nintendogs(TM) (Dalmatian)
    Oct. 23: Magical Starsign(TM)
    Oct. 30: Pokémon® Ranger
    Oct. 30: Children of Mana®
    Nov. 6: Elite Beat Agents(TM)
    Nov. 13: Yoshi's Island(TM) 2
    Dec. 4: Custom Robo(TM) Arena
    Dec. 4: Kirby(TM) Squeak Squad

    And, for Nintendo GameCube(TM) owners, The Legend of Zelda®: Twilight Princess will be available for you this fall. An enhanced version also will be a launch title for Wii. That will all happen on ... Oh look, we're out of space.
    For more information about all of Nintendo's upcoming titles, please visit www.nintendo.com.
