Back in the old days of 2.x jailbreaking (another one where a visit to a website would do it), there would always be a few display models running Cydia every morning. It was just a pain in the ass, and no one at the retail level was greatly angered or even cared too much; we'd just restore them when we saw them. To anyone on their way to an Apple Store to do this: you're not making a subversive statement, you're just taking 5 minutes out of a Specialist's day, one who probably jailbroke their phone a long time ago.
Unskippable isn't bad, brings back MST3K memories. Their ads are something terrible, though. The same ad at the beginning of every video (without AdBlock on), there's a reason folks block.
AAC (both protected and non) support for one. Enhanced battery life, notes, contacts, calendars, and games (minor, but it's something).
It's been done. And this is only counting the updates for my first-gen 5GB iPod.
I'd say the immersion is better with the threshold markers in place, your example being perfect of that. When Crazy Taxi came out on the Dreamcast, I kept thinking to myself, "I bet I can get there faster if I shift to reverse, hit the gas, then back to drive and hit the gas again!" Luckily, the fact that I wasn't holding a controller made it obvious that it wouldn't work like that, but the compulsion (even just a small voice in the back of your mind) is still there. Glad I don't drive a car with a DC controller, otherwise I'd still be paying off the transmissions...
I can keep going back in time, too. The Mac had the Launcher in 7.6 and above, At Ease before that (though that might not count as much), and, reaching way back to when color was an unheard of luxury, MiniFinder and MultiFinder.
I love me some flashbacks too.
Damn good game. Many, many hours wasted on my LC and my AppleTalk network. Also, I remember getting a complementary copy of Super Maze Wars on my PowerBook 2300c. Another addiction. Gotta get that one back too.
Don't forget (Chevrolet El) Camino (Mozilla-derived Cocoa-compliant OS X browser), and the Ford (Internet) Explorer. Not to mention (GMC) Safari, (Ford) Lynx (a concept), and, out on a limb, even Netscape is similar to the Ford Escape. Never realized how many!
Also, the first Mac had a 512-by-342 resolution. 384 came with the Color Classic and the LC's 12" monitor (256 colors!).
And what problems with System 7? As far as I can tell, 7.5.5 is rock solid for me. 7.0, though, was a bit moreso, and 7.6 improved on 7.5.5 a bit (though it won't run on an LC, 68030 or later required), but still altogether stable systems.

So I'm guessing we were the two people actually using the IrDA ports on those Nokias. Worked great with my Palm IIIxe and my PowerBook 5300cs.
PhillipsVision was the reason I clicked on this article in the first place. "Rosebud...I mean, schwing."
It's just the Northern Lights, mother.

That's not gone well! Brilliant episode, if only to show the viability of a Reliant Robin as a re-entry capable craft.

Not to pile on, but, actually, 4. Left click, Right click, pressing the trackball, and squeezing the sides.
Fantasy Football is still Fantasy.
I still have my floppy with the Sprynet-branded version of Mosaic. I keep it on a shelf with my copy of VisiCalc and my Geek Award.
Call of Duty 4 on 360 or PS3. Put your shoes on, honey, we're at Grandma's!

What is that of a giant sloar?
Because you don't know what Cesar Chavez looks like.
And the vocalist for "Infected" sounded nothing like Greg Graffin.
Game still rules, though.
Questron. I loved that thing.
Actually, it was originally Shugart Associates Systems Interface. Small Computer Systems Interface was adopted later.

If this engine beats out Google...
Will they give Clusty the Crown?

Deepest, bluest...
My radio antenna's like a shark's fin!
WHAT?!?

My library was running a string of VT100 clients from an IBM AIX server. Fast, efficient, and never crashed.
Their terminals are now Windows boxes running a Java VM (on a web page, no less), and are slow as a dog.
