Wait until we get enough dumb users who install all sorts of shit onto their computers.

I don't know about you, but when I use my computer, I'm sitting at a desk with a keyboard and a mouse. I'm too close to my monitor to start pointing a remote at it.
I also can't imagine putting the remote down, use the keyboard, picking the remote again, repeat.
The Wiimote is a great idea because we can't really use a mouse when sitting in front of a TV, and crappy, small, over-touchy analog sticks on a gamepad is a stupid idea to begin with.
Given that USB 3.0 cables will have fiber optic cable(s) inside them, I don't think Hoi's comment is much of a joke. Be prepared for very expensive super-speed USB 3.0 cables.
Or a WoW server with an enforced age requirement? I stopped playing WoW because of the other players, not because of the game... I wish Blizzard would release a home server already.

Simpsons did it!
Use a USB keyboard next time.
Or 5$ MonoPrice cables.

How about a simple, works-everywhere-in-every-browser-and-every-OS link to the ISO file?
Thank you, their download page just displays a "rotating waiting wheel" in the middle of the page.
Since Chrome is based on WebKit, we're just as good with Safari as far as page rendering goes.

I'm Canadian, not American.
And what does RPGs have to do with console power? Or did you mean that in the sense that there's not many RPGs on the Wii/DS?

Any Spookfish got a mirror?

iLife '09 should ship at the end of january. I'm expecting the new Mac minis around the same time.
