Sure, it's not a "gaming PC" but it does have a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and the nVidia 9400M is about the same as Ion graphics too, not to mention that the Mac mini is smaller and cheaper. And yes, you can install Windows on it if you want.
So what's special about that not-so-small Maingear "green" PC again?
From what we keep reading, we haven't even seen what the PS3 is really capable of. We keep hearing about games being made for Xbox360 then ported to PS3, with the Xbox360 being the baseline, etc.
Also, with the new Metroid game, we finally see what the Wii is capable of and it's far from cartoony graphics.
In any case, what matters is games and how far can developers push the hardware. I have a Wii for Zelda and Metroid games, and I'll probably be getting a PS3 to play FF XIV Online. I sure hope I can transfer my character from FF XI Online...
That website is used by tech people who's work field is the Web itself. The results there are as meaningless as doing a poll about car brand ownership with the CEOs of fortune 500 companies.
Well, I myself am connected on a 5Mbits cable modem. Not everyone has a high-speed connection, however, and that 80KB background serves no purpose on a search engine homepage.
If anything, that particular picture would fit a travel agency website or something, not a search engine homepage.
Also, it means a lot more bandwidth usage on the server side.
And then you get people who think Linux was made by Microsoft, just like there is people who think Microsoft owns Apple just because they had some shares a few decades ago.
Ok, seriously... what's with that 80 KiB background JPEG on the homepage?
Image search is actually nice, though I would put the filters at the top instead of the left. The results leave a bit to be desired (tried "portable mame cabinet", hoping to find something I looked at a few days ago - no luck there). Also, scrolling down loads more pictures automatically. No need to go to "page 2" for more results. That's actually nice. The size/weight info on hover is a nice touch too.

No, the trip was true. We just moved you temporarily to the Canadian server for the duration of your vacation.
And 1/10th of them can't simplify fractions.
When I look down, all I see is my shoes.
It would bring a whole new meaning to "talking out of your ass", however.
It's not THAT hard:
developers! developers! developers! developers!
developers! developers! developers! developers!
developers! developers! developers! developers!
developers! developers! developers! developers!
developers! developers! developers! developers!
developers! developers! developers! developers!
See? You can easily split that between four cores.
You missed the "livis" part in the middle?
Actually 110W is also the maximum wattage since it's the Mac mini power supply maximum.
Then what the hell is the Mac mini at only 110W?

Ah yes, the WarGames defense!
That's what we hear from the game devs, not from Sony.
In fact, what we heard from Sony is that they made the PS3 hard to code for, on purpose. How dumb is that?
Simple answer to all your questions: 42.
Wii Too (play on words, "we play too/Wii 2").

That reminds me of people who think .mp3 stands for MPEG-3 when in fact it's MPEG-1* Layer 3 audio.
* or MPEG-2 Layer 3, or even the so-called "MPEG-2.5 Layer 3", depending on the sampling rate.
You're asking a lot there, buddy. Don't you think they got enough pressure as it is?
because the iPhone/iPod touch have hardware-accelerated H.264 decoding, which means smooth video playback with a very low power requirement.
Either you didn't watch the video or you're the one who made it. In both cases, shame on you.
He should have collected a royalty on each copy sold, up to five years ago.
By pushing on the keys very, very hard.

You don't need to do a browser detect to send a special CSS to IE6. Use conditional comments, which are perfectly valid HTML comments.

Nope, this is a Microsoft product. You have to fucking Google it.
