I'd think it would be a lot easier to clean out any malware from an OS X box than it is to clean out the stuff on a Windows machine, mostly because there's no registry. Just search for the files, drag them to the trash, and empty it. Problem solved.
My bank, for example, recently introduced a feature called a site key for log ins to its online services. After entering your initial user id, it brings you to a screen that displays a user-chosen image and title. The rule is that if you recognize the image and the title, you enter your password. If you don't recognize one or both, you don't.
Companies should be responsible for protecting their users, and this struck me as a rather good way of doing that. Granted, if someone really wanted to, they could set up a site just to scarf your user id, log in with that id to snag your site key, then create another site with the site key included to gank your password - but that's a lot of work.
But where's the snap in to remind me when it's time to go to the bathroom, or to make every press of my insert button cause Clippy to explode? Now those would be useful!
The crumminess of recent games drove me to a Gamefly subscription. For about $25 a month, I can try as many games as I can ship back and forth in the mail. If I get a stinker, it goes right back, and if a game doesn't have any replay value, it's no big deal to play through it once and forget about it. Haven't bought a new game since Half Life 2 came out for the Xbox.
Sony's message might get muddled in the process of going after too broad a market
The company that dominated the last generation of consoles is releasing a new one. What more do most consumers care about? What more do they need to know?
I do not think that the rumble feature deserves to be listed with the analog stick and shoulder buttons as an important advance in controller design. How does a shaking controller enhance the gaming experience? Until they make a controller that vibrates strongly enough to shake itself out of my hands, thus increasing the skill needed to play a game, I will continue to turn it off.
Obviously, you have to defrost the meat or whatever before it goes into the oven. But you don't want to put in the oven to defrost before you leave for an eight hour day at work and then turn on the oven remotely at 4, because that would just be gross (not to mention the lack of seasonings). So where's the robot that we can control remotely to take the defrosted food out of the fridge, season it, and put it in the oven?
Move up to SNES/Genesis maybe two years later...then N64 and PSX...and so on until they eventually reach whatever the current generation is when they're around 16 or so. The maturity level of games, like that of children, increases with age...and it's important they appreciate how games got to where they are today...plus it will keep the little buggers off my snazzy XBox 720.
Unfortunately the planet takes ten years to circle the red dwarf and has a surface temperature estimated at -220 C which means it's just a larger version of Pluto so the chance of finding life on this planet is essentially zero.
So it's earth-like how?
Anyone alienated by today's difficulty levels need to be sat down in front of an NES pronto. You think the new Ninja Gaiden is hard? Try beating the original. Games today are waaaaay too easy, which to me is a huge turn off. Fun isn't walking through a game; fun is finally beating the boss that just killed you 18 times.

By the way, I'm pretty shocked by the fact that /. hasn't reported that Shigeru Miyamoto is now a FRENCH KNIGHT.
So does that mean the Rev controller's going to include a surrender button?
NES, Genesis, Gameboy
OMFG, that means we're getting communciations from beyond the grave? Somebody call John Edwards!
...it has to be with all the chairs soaring through the hallways.

...like men who wear bow ties.
...but strategy guides are only for those who lack skillz. And, more importantly, patience.
Halo has historically been released in November...perhaps old Billy didn't misspeak...
I enjoy pwning my newb children on a regular basis. Best that they learn from me rather than out on the streets.

But has Cuba figured out how to make it launch missiles yet? I thought that was its big selling point back in the day.

Exports to iCal, but not automatically. Got to do an export any time you want to see it in iCal.

The people designing pants should also be wary of plumbers. The force of their cracks cannot be denied!
Unless the main providers can create an illegal cartel (and evade government prosecution for doing so)
Kind of like the Republican party?

The swing voters did such an awesome job making sure the last election turned out correctly.
Oh, wait a minute...
...that the site is offering me free Firefox with Google Toolbar! Wowsers!
