That's when the exteriors of 11 U.S. stores and one in Canada were flocked in industrial foam and given new signs to replicate the animated look of Kwik-E-Marts.
The U.S. locations where a 7-Eleven store was transformed into a Kwik-E-Mart are New York City; Chicago; Dallas; Denver; Burbank, Calif.; Los Angeles; Henderson, Nev.; Orlando, Fla.; Mountain View, Calif.; Seattle; and Bladensburg, Md.
Oh yeah, no need to tell us the location of the Canadian store because, you know, all we have to do is ask Steve. He lives in Canada, and it's such a small place that everybody knows about everything.
Isn't it ironic that a modded/custom install of the first Xbox can play H.264 but the Xbox 360 cannot? (unless I missed something, and even then I'd need external USB drives, and it's too late anyway since I bought a 40GB AppleTV).
Gotta love/. moderation. You getting modded funny for pointing out that the parent got modded flamebait for correcting the spelling in his own post...:p
Uhmmmm...did they not just mention in the summary that they can use it to simulate super-complex things like oh... weather patterns?.....or maybe they'll just use it for playing WoW
Imagine how real the weather will look like in WoW with that computer!:p
Is there anything we can do if we live outside of the USA? Will our voice/concerns even matter? We want to help in any way we can if it's all at possible.
I do have the "Q" PC emulator installed with Win98SE and IE6, but that still means I can't test IE7, and Q is dog-slow... (emulating x86 on my G4, etc).
Thanks for the link. Hopefully this will also work under OS X...
While it is true that the laser jet printers do better than inkjets they ALSO LIE and ARE DESIGNED TO FAIL.
"My ford truck is a piece of crap but my Toyota car has never failed me. Hence, all trucks are pieces of crap and all cars will never fail."
Don't equate "one brand of laser printer is crap" with "all laser printers are crap".
As someone mentionned above, most of the HP LaserJet printers keep working under extreme conditions. I remember an old LaserJet 4+ that smelled like it was on fire for 3 months. But it kept working anyway. We did get it repaired, btw.
What I'd like to see is an extremely cheap version (even free?) with IE6 and IE7 pre-installed. Nothing else apart from Flash and Windows Media Player (and the ability to install, say, Quicktime).
Web developers (developers, developers) without a Windows box cannot test websites for IE. And given IE's track record with standards compliance, this is not a good situation for Microsoft. I'm not buying a whole Windows box just to test websites in their crummy browser.

As a french-Canadian watching mostly english content, I'd like to see subtitles available on all videos. Sure, I have no problems watching things like The Simpsons, Futurama or Family Guy. However I've started watching the new Doctor Who series and sometimes it's quite hard to understand what they're saying (as in, figuring out the words spoken, not their meaning).
Subtitles would be quite useful in cases like these.
First, it means another browser which is standards-compliant that can take some share % from IE.
Second, Apple are more known to the general public than Firefox or Opera. If anything, it will open the public's eyes that there is more than one choice in web browsers.
Third, this is Apple's free Windows SDK for the iPhone.
The only (huge) mistake Steve Jobs made in his Keynote was that pie chart where Safari took the % shares from everybody *but* IE. He should have shown a second pie chart where Firefox was increased, the "others" were increased, and Safari took 5-10% of IE on top of Firefox and others.

My cellphone has voice commands, and whenever I ask it "where am I?" it replies "You are here."
Kinda scary that it knows exactly where I am.
Yep, 07:00 to 11:00 sounds about right for the business hours of my bank.

Not to mention that YouTube is switching over to H.264, can't wait to see what all the current "YouTube apps" will do.

PopCap are the ones copying games from other companies and now they're angry they're being copied in return?
Keep in mind that Zuma is a copy of Puzz Loop, Bejeweled is a copy of xjewel, etc.
That's either priceless, funny or just really sad.
My Wii also had to be returned for repair, it overheated and started displaying garbage/random pixels.
Got it back within a week or so, has been working fine since then.
This is my "timey-whimey" detector. Goes ding when there's stuff. Also, it can boil an egg at thirty paces. - The Doctor (Doctor Who, "Blink" episode)

Google Payments only works in the USA, the UK.... not sure where else.
As a Canadian, Google Payments are 100% useless to me (both as a buyer and a seller).
Mac OS X --> CrossOver --> intel only.
Bummer.

Not to mention the time to print.
Inkjet vs laser is like dial-up vs DSL/Cable.

Get a laser printer already. Even the color models have dropped in price.

Which is why I've always found the name "Xbox 360" to be hilarious.
