Mike, I have to say that I agree with you. I, of all people, should have known better. A quick check of the Yahoo! Shopping rating of 4 stars and several hundred reviews was not near enough due dilligence on my part. Although I acknowledge my fault in not doing better research on this company first, it does not negate that fact that a company like this should not be allowed to operate and con people -- especially through a vehicle like Yahoo! Shopping.
I certainly will do better research in the future and am embarrased by my lacke of due dilligence in this case."
"Call them! Tell them you don't think this is okay! If we get enough of people on the phone to tie up their phone lines, we can run them out of business!"

Or instead of selling them, they could possibly just throw them in with the purchase of a song, similar to the album art that you get automatically. To save on bandwidth, it could be optional for dial-up users.
In the rare case that you'd want to use a D-Pad over the Control Stick, it's quite comfortable to simply slide your left hand further down the handle to use the D-Pad. The L button, should you need it while using the D-Pad, is still very much within reach.
Yes, I seemed to miss out on that fact. I now realize that this particular 3D interface isn't just 3D movable 2D windows on a 3D plane. That does seem like a neat idea. But, of course, applications would have to be developed with this interface in mind.
I tried something similar for Windows XP some time ago, I didn't really see any advantages over using a normal, 2D interface. Perhaps this 3D interface is different, but the whole thing seems pretty gimicky to me. Kind of like having a 3D interface, just to say you have a 3D interface, not because of any inherent benefits of using it.
Also, is this a window manager akin to Gnome or KDE, or does it run on top of either one? The window decorations and stuff look pretty fugly IMHO.
I initially read the title as 'Koolaid Water Cooling Kit'. Wonder how that would work. Maybe Koolaid would work better than water for a water cooled system?

I've been getting Japanese spam lately, and more recently, French. Perhaps my New Year's Resolution should be to get spam from all over the world?

Slow news day?
Two words:
Dual Analog
Main stick controls actual movement (like the WASD on the keyboard), and the right analog stick controls turning left/right and aiming.
Thornado was cancelled long ago. I was looking forward to it too.
FYI:
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is on the XBOX, Gamecube, PS2, *and* PC.
There goes your argument.
"AOL Internet Phone Service"
Someone got creative.

No problem. I love Real Alternative as well. All the functionality of the actual Real Player without the bloat/spyware/other crap. :D

Real Alternative is your friend.

They have GB/C emulators for the GBA. So, you could use the F2A to load GB/C roms and play them on the GBA.
I, for one, welcome our new robotic monkey overlords.

Yup, that strategy worked wonders for Sega....(Dreamcast)
"...would make it illegal to crack security codes on DVD and CDs or to provide software or hardware for doing so..."
This basically sounds like a Norwegian DMCA...
