Note that you won't get 3G speeds with T-Mobile in the US because T-Mobile uses the 1700 MHz band which the iPhone doesn't use. Unlock the iPhone and you probably won't get 3G speeds on other carriers.
Windows Solitaire may be the most-often played computer game.
And isn't it the most popular video game? I'm tired of the "PC gaming is dead" rhetoric. Mini-games, like Solitaire, are hugely popular. Yeah AAA titles are more popular on the console, but gaming on a computer is not dead.
You've either got it very right of you've got it very wrong. The problem is that a big chunk of the world views much of the OT as a historical non-fiction document. So, you are going to look like an offensive Troll to many people; even people that do not believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible.
I mean, if you held other texts under the same standards as the OT, then you've got to start calling a lot historical, people, places, and things fictional as well. I claim there is plenty to learn from all of those texts. Since when did fictional works not lead to a implementation in culture? I surmise that most new inventions and ideas start out as fiction and then become reality.
Get an office and hire some more people you penny pinching fool! Or cash out, put the money in high interest savings, and work part time to supplement the $80k+ a year that $2 million will earn in interest.
It's too late. My grandfather knows what a Podcast is. He doesn't know what an MP4 Media Clip is and I don't want to have to explain it to him. Podcast is a great name. Why? Because it's already a household name.
If you think about radio as the "wireless transmission of audio", then podcasts could fall under that and the podcast won't kill radio. I may kill real-time talk-shows. But, it's not going to kill music. Wireless technology isn't going away. It just keeps getting better. Audio isn't going away. It just keeps getting better compression......and more DRM.
Ah. DRM. Now that's something that could kill radio.
From TFA: "so that Windows Mobile phone users can view Flash content in the Internet Explorer Mobile browser". Windows-based PocketPC != Windows-based Smartphone. Yeah, PocketPC's and Smartphones can both can run Windows Mobile but Smartphones haven't been able to run the Flash player you mentioned. This is great news for those that want Flash on a cellphone.
Given today's game developing mindset (consoles!, handhelds!, web portals!), do you really think that EA would have ever thought to use Facebook as a distribution network for their game? Yeah, they may make a new Scrabble game, but they are going to throw it up on XBOX Live, Wii network, or MSN.com. One of reasons Scrabulous is doing so well is because it's on Facebook's network.
Speaking about going against the spirit of the GPL. Could someone add, say, 7.63 yottabytes of contributed code to a GPL product in order to prevent anyone else from really working with it? You know...making the new code basically unaccessible for 99.999999999934% of programmers?
Firefox is popular because of the extensions right? Sure it beat IE to the punch and offered tabbed browsing first. But to the average user, what's really the difference? I say it's open source and customizable extensions; something IE lacks. I'm not switching to IE8 because it will render pages more accurately until they offer me extensions like Foxforecast, GMailNotify, YSlow, del.icio.us, Firebug, Web Developer, etc.
How many hundreds of hours of training do warfighters get on the operation and maintenance of their M16 rifle?

I think Yahoo! could make the whole XBOX Live experience a lot better. I'd like to be able to play Yahoo! Games mini-games on my XBOX 360. I'd like access to Yahoo!'s TV, movie, and music content. It would be cool to be able to access my Flickr account through XBOX Live and share images with my friends.
Beat the Halo 3 campaign on Legendary and you'll see that Bungie has something else up their sleeves.
4 person Co-op on Live works

Halo 3 Review
·
· Score: 1
FYI: You can co-op the campaign over XBOX Live. 3 friends (from Philly, Washington, and Canada) and I have played through the game thrice already. Online co-op is a big deal and it's working.
Bungie added a "meta-game" to the campaign. When my friends and I are playing through the campaign, we turn on scoring. This allows us to earn points throughout the campaign. The score is updated for each player on screen. Kill a Wraith. Get +2000 points. Kill a Grunt. Get +125 points. Activate some "skulls" that you've found, then a multiplier will be factored into your score.
Xbox live? Sure. No cheating there (yet) and that's good.
I guess you haven't played many FPS's on XBOX Live (you make no mention of it). HALO 2 on XBOX Live could have been one of the most exploited FPS's in history (certainly on XBOX Live). This lead to Bungie.net shutting down their online leaderboards (which were glorious and well-liked). When I was playing HALO 2 a lot, I played against an exploiter at least one game per night. People cheated by modifying gamesaves and by tampering with their connection to the game server. I've played many FPS's on PC, but there was more cheating in H2 for XBOX Live than any PC game that I played.

So we come from another universe? Ok. Cool.
Now could someone tell me where THAT universe came from? And the one before that...

As I understand it, some legacy hardware will be able to take advantage of the particle rendering through a software update. Is that still the case?
$10 a month? I wonder if I put one in my car if I will get a $10 a month break in my car insurance bill.

Phenomenal? I guess you don't play FPS's on the PC. Free cameras and spectator modes have been around for 15 years.
