  1. Re:Ya pays yer nickel, ya takes yer chances on Wii Pre-Orders at EB Games and Gamestop · · Score: 1

    They're just covering their bases in case something unexpected happens - a delay in the launch, the delivery truck crashes on the way to the store and burns up, etc.

  2. Re:Content Based Image Retrieval on Google Image Labeler · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't they be paying us for this? In the form of a semi-game they've managed to get the general public to help them to label images for better search results. Course I "played" for about 20 minutes, so I guess I can't complain...

  3. Re:Noooooooo!!! on Zelda on the Wii To Include Sword Swinging · · Score: 1

    The Wii controller doesn't use the same sort of technology as a traditional light gun. It works on any type of TV.

  4. Re:My #1 on The 50 Worst Videogame Names of All Time · · Score: 1

    That was actually part of a contest where you could send in your name suggestions. Apparantly they would then re-release it later with the winning name. But then the videogame crash happened and I'm not sure that contest was ever resolved.

  5. Re:WorstBuy on What Do Geek Squad Technicians Actually Do? · · Score: 1

    If Sony sold the PS3 with no power supply it'd be world war 3.

    Shhhhh!!! Don't give them any ideas!
  6. Re:When will those idiots at Dell learn? on Laptop Explodes at Japanese Conference · · Score: 1

    Don't confuse The Inquirer with the trashy supermarket tabloid The National Enquirer. And please tell what it is about the photos that indicate to you that it is a photoshop job, and a bad one at that.

  7. Re:What a Constructive Mentality! on Developers React To 'Wii' · · Score: 1
    This is sheer madness. I use a piece of software called "The Gimp 2.0" but I have never once heard anyone make fun of it.
    Obviously you haven't been paying attention. Maybe it's because you got into the gimp late; people have been making fun of its name since it was announced.
    But have you ever heard of anyone who avoided using Gimp simply because of its name?
  8. Re:Doesn't work on ROKR = iTunes phone. on Google Launches Mobile Mail · · Score: 1

    I tried it on a RAZR (through Cingular) and it worked just great. No strange errors or warnings or anything.
