That's completely inaccurate. The video of the game is copyrighted by whoever filmed it, or paid someone to film it. That clearly falls under established IP guidelines. What happened during the game, however, is a matter of public record.
I don't really understand what's:
a) insightful at all about that comment.
b) wrong with people who are anal about layouts. How does their attention to detail affect you in any negative way?
But is the best time to determine an e-mail's future relevancy directly after reading it? If you're 100% sure that it's useless, than of course you can delete it (which really isn't that hard to do, I can't believe the difficulty some of the people here are having), but if there's any chance it's useful, why not keep it around?
Or, you could click "My Subscriptions" up top and click on whatever feed you want. But sure, if you feel like complaining about the lack of feature you just couldn't find, by all means continue.
I think it's a little more likely that the reason the Power Toy "doesn't work well" is because it's a Power Toy, not an feature or application for sale.
but it's always disheartening to see a mother buying GTA for her 10-year-old saying 'he'll just play it at his friend's house anyway.
You know what? That's not the game industry's problem. The ESRB does an excellent job of telling consumers what to expect from a game. If kids are still playing these games, it's the parents' fault. And TFA agrees:
It seems like no matter how many warnings you slap on the box, there will always be some parents willing to ignore them in order to appease their pleading youngsters. From that point on, the responsibility should lie solely with the parents who purchased the product -- and no amount of legislation upon the game industry can solve the social problem of poor parenting.
It seems that what the ROKR is attempting to do is emulate the iPod software interface, more than the iTunes software interface. What, pray tell, would you consider the iPod software vs the iTunes software? Because when I describe what the iPod runs, it's "iTunes software, minus the purchase functionality."
The e-mail -> username has always been a great idea. The complaints with MSN and Yahoo are that they're bloated software compared to the more stripped down AIM. The reason everyone's so excited about GIM is that, based on prior performance, Google will blow everyone out of the water.
Even my completely computer illiterate grandparents can tell which version of Windows is the latest - it's the one that there's 50 boxes of at their CompUSA.
Guess what? They probably did send video footage that covered the "overall gameplay of the game", as well as "the game's most explicit scenes." In case you haven't been paying attention to what actually happened, the explicit, previously unrated parts of the game are accessible only through third party patches, and should not, therefore, be considered part of the game itself.
Should Rockstar have deleted those portions out of the game? Of course. But it's not accessible by regular gameplay, and not even by entering a cheat code. The ESRB's rating should stand, as it is still an accurate descriptor of regular gameplay.
If your argument is that they are well-produced, then you're correct. But as for exclusivity, nyet.
Of course his argument is that they're well-produced. Consistantly, any game that is on both the PSP and the DS is loads and loads better on the PSP. Anyone who tries to compare Ridge Racer on the PSP to Ridge Racer on the DS is making a completely laughable argument.
To be perfectly honest, not having a Firefox toolbar doesn't make MSN last at all. To rank the search engines' toolbars, you still have to compare their features for IE, since IE is still the far-dominant webbrowser in terms of usage. I imagine the percentage of Firefox users that use any of those toolbars is extremely small, since most features are redundant.
This is still a good step in the right direction, though, and will definitely raise Firefox awareness.
Maybe you should read his post. When you type words into the Google Toolbar, they automatically become individual buttons (i.e. one per word) that you can click on to surf through the page. The Ctrl-F feature in Firefox only lets you use one term at a time.
The game would be a lot less fun if they were all one button games. Most of the one button games in WarioWare are either timing (i.e. punch the button when its time to catch the glass) or hitting it a bunch before the timer runs out (i.e. "Munch!" or whatever). I'm usually pretty happy whenever there's a d-pad game to break up the trouble.
They already have. The only firmwares that can be exploited are 1.0 and 1.50. Since, they've released 1.51 and 1.52. They are planning on making upgrades compulsory with new PSP games coming out soon. I'm trying to decide which I want more - a portable NES SNES jukebox (and DOOM, too!), or a portable GTA game. Luckily, I have a while to decide.
If it isn't cost effective to host Muddy Waters because the target demographic consists mainly of teenagers, then they'll stop hosting it.
But that's unrealistic - a service loses virtually nothing by hosting more artists. Disk space is essentially free now for these large corporations, and they aren't paying Muddy Waters anything unless someone buys some.

To be fair, the first public beta of start.com (Microsoft's predecessor to live.com) existed before Google's Personalized Home hit the net.

I'm pretty sure AIM has this, though you can't set individual permissions.

Wow, apparently the pockets in slacks have gotten a lot smaller since I was in the workplace.

After his excellent performance in Sideways. You should check it out, hilarious movie.

There's a font preview in CS2.
I doubt many of these blogs weren't indexed before. It's just a specific subset of the main Google search.
Sorry, buddy, I'm afraid your mom already knows about your balloon animal fetish (is that even a furry?).

That's odd, wmd.google.com couldn't be found??

Absolutely not - as much as I love both shows, you need a plot when you make a movie, something Family Guy, especially these days, can't manage.
However, Futurama is well known for having well constructed, and often very moving plots (see: Jurrassic Bark).
I know you're going for a joke, but the PSone is just a rereleased PS, and the PSX wasn't supposed to mean "10", it was more a generic term.
:)
Besides, what naming order is more screwed up than XBOX -> XBOX360?
