  8. Deja vu on What Makes a Game Review a Game Review? · · Score: 1

    This story sounds awfully similar to this one from almost exactly a month ago.

    It looks like a Kotaku dupe was posted each time through by Slashdot. So, I guess Slashdot is duping Kotaku's dupes.

    I can just imagine pulling this up on my PocketPC before I leave for the day, and being able to navigate my route home much more easily.

  25. Seattle has some smart freeways... on Intelligent Transportation Systems · · Score: 3, Informative

    Anyone who lives in the Seattle area and doesn't check the traffic conditions before they hit the freeways is missing out.
