Just curious, but how do you ascertain that your site will display properly in IE 4-5-6-7? I build sites on a Mac and I'd love to shut the frustrating IE compatibility check out of my life.
I have to say... Nintendo should be worried. This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. The screen is beautiful.. Ridge Racer and Metal Gear Acid are lots of fun. Everything works great. Dead sexy, too.
IGN isn't really high on my list of sites that I don't automatically assume are wrong.
IGN != !automatically(assumed(wrong));// Right?>
Really, I don't know how else to parse this. The statement is entirely passive language and impossible to interpret. I'm assuming you mean that IGN isn't credible due to bias, however IGN is the only gaming site I've seen actually bash titles released by their major advertisers. For example, the most recent Metal of Honor games, which EA plugged with massive annoying ads on IGN's homepage. IGN may be the advertising kings of the online gaming press, especially if you're not a subscriber, but their reporting is one feature of the site I've never been able to fault.
Sony is the last company to understate their products. If you could realistically expect 5 hours from the PSP, I would expect them to be talking about ten to fifteen hours, not two, one, and less like they have been.
Ehh, you're being awfully cynical about all this. It may be that Sony has, in fact, wised up by being honest over the battery life issue because they realize how integral that time is on a portable.
Anyway, I'm still waiting to hear about the moving parts issues. Battery life was the least of my worries. I feel very uncomfortable carrying something around in my pocket or bookbag that could be susceptible to shock damage, and I don't want to have to go and modify my laptop bag again to make a padded spot for one.
The easy solution to all this? The Nintendo DS! I absolutely love mine and would highly recommend it, even if you're waiting for the PSP. Not in lieu of a PSP, of course.
If I hadn't already posted in this thread, I would mod you up.

candid
adj.
1. Free from prejudice; impartial.
2. Characterized by openness and sincerity of expression; unreservedly straightforward: In private, I gave them my candid opinion. See Synonyms at frank1.
3. Not posed or rehearsed: a candid snapshot.
Have experienced any of the crashing described towards the end of this article? I seriously doubt Nintendo would ship a system that crashed. Must be awesome getting to be one of the first to work on a new piece of hardware. Can you talk about what you're doing with it or what it's like to work with, or do you have to be hush hush?
Did you write that Pacman game? Very nice job. At first I was like "wha?" with the kids, but after seeing Pacman on the next level, as well as the progressively larger maps, I continued to play for like a half hour. Kinda makes me want to track down a 2600. Anirak's pretty cool, also.
Well, ya know, when that first post opportunity presents itself, you gotta write what you know. Lately, politics has definitely brought out my sarcastic and cynical side.

Waaaahhh... Someone stole my Zelda watch in the 3rd grade. Totally cool, it was. God help the culprit, if I ever find him.

Still nobody cares.

I was just about to say the same thing. Utterly pointless.
Seriously moderators, go eat a bowl of dicks.

Politicians? Lying??
Bullshit.

I like dogs because they're lovable, cute, loyal, and a pleasure to be around. ... Those Japanese will never learn...
Apparently, Japanese women agree with you.
Of course, every few years, when you upgrade your dog, you can use some parts from your previous dog, and sell the rest on ebay.
