Somewhere, in some parallel universe, the Phantom Console is capable of running Duke Nukem: Forever at 120fps. And it can provide you all the services of a loving wife.
I'm not sure I want a loving wife that resembles Duke Nukem.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to wear my anthrax-repellent dust mask while I clean out the commie-proof bomb shelter in my backyard. I think I left my anti-Halley's-Comet pills down there..
DS Organize
The features of a standard PDA make their way to the DS in the DS Organize application. The program offers a bevy of possible uses including a calendar/day planner, address book, to-do list, scribble pad, file browser, text editor, image viewer, song player, WAV recorder, scientific calculator, and multi-language support. Talk about all-inclusive. This is a DS homebrew must-have.
This is from the so-natural-it-hurts department. I never liked PDAs enough to get one, but just the thought of being able to do PDA stuff on a DS makes me want to get into this action. Imagine Joe Businessman whipping out his DS at a business meeting, and getting away with it...
Isn't it best to forget some things (like the Spice Girls)?
No! Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it! And you know the cycle of nostalgia will eventually hit, and some victim of degenerative amnesia will wake up one day thinking "That 'Wannabe' wasn't all that bad, was it? Sort of catchy..."
Mr. Glitter, as your agent I cannot stress enough that these tirades are not helping your career. And just who the hell gave you your computer back, anyway?
YouTube uses a particular Flash Video Player script which is out there free (Creative Commons) for non-commercial use, and licensable for commercial use. With that, some content management software (done from scratch if you're brave, otherwise just tweak the crap out of one of the zillion CMS packages out there), and an obscene amount of bandwidth, you can have your own YouTube clone up and running in no time.
Granted it's been a while since I left the back end of the target demographic, but CNN? I somehow doubt CNN is the hip, happening, with-it, groovy brand name the cool kids are into these days.
EA could do this for the next Madden port. Whenever you draw one of those doodly electronic football-announcer arrows across the screen, you'd have to say "Boom!" in that butter-soaked John Madden voice.
The biggest piece of convergence I can think of would be TV/VCR combos. While they do sell, they've never over taken TVs (even in small sizes).
The argument my family have always maintained against the TV/VCR combo could explain most of the old-school attitude toward "convergence.." if either the TV or the VCR breaks, you're out one gadget. In a combo if either component breaks, you're out both gadgets.
I moved around high schools a lot, and each one had a tech/shop teacher with at least a small bit of a finger missing. I wondered if it was a traditional thing, like in the Yakuza.
Good points, I can't begin to count the carpenters and hobbyists who have boneheadedly disabled safety features on things for the sake of speed, myself included.
This may have a brighter future in heavy industry and the assembly-line type of stuff, where the material going in is fairly standard and conductive things aren't normally involved, making more sense for the machine to crap itself when something finger-like does find its way in.
Gone are the days of charming high school wood-shop teachers who hold up two hands' worth of fingers when counting off their five years' teaching experience. What's next, forcing them to shave their woodsman's beards and stop wearing flannel?
Once I was feeling artistic, so I Googled how best to Xerox my head onto a Playboy Bunny, maybe using some Scotch Tape, but found out I could Photoshop it instead. So, I had a Coke, grabbed some Kleenex, and got to work.. but was disturbed by my mom coming in to Hoover. So I quickly shut down the PC, and decided to use Crayolas and Play-Doh instead.

Don't put it past them, these are the same people who aggressively market a bent plank with a keyboard on it as a revolutionary peripheral.
Hogwash, I say! You're just being irrational.

ICANN't believe it.
.....sorry.
Good points. *flashes back through umpteen iterations of Game Boy hardware*
..will be in second-hand units on eBay immediately post-holiday, as people trade in their unwanted gifts.
Upon closer inspection, half of them are composed of the same three anime clips edited and re-edited together.
Somewhere, Space Fonzie is jumping over an Astro-Shark.
...game developer has ideas for games he'd like to develop! Film at 11.
...actually, considering the general state of the video game industry in recent years, maybe this is news after all.

And the pedantic bastard - who will point out that you posted six categories instead of seven, and misspelled "drool."

That's very nearly clever! Watch out before you make the other trolls jealous.
