But, hey, where's my Nintendo DS porn! I demand my rights! Nintendogs? Ha! Where's my Nintenwhores? It's that damned Miyamoto's fault, I'll wager! Wii Music has been proven in clinical tests to cause impotence, androgyny and male shrinkage.
Who cares? Anyone with access to the internets thing can get endless free porn 24/7/365. Even on the The iPhone. It has one of those web browser things. You can stare at all the fun-sized porn your poor eyes can handle right there on the bus to your lousy temp job. Who needs an App for porn? What? Someone update Custer's Revenge for the iPhone?
It does not explain creation, and in fact creation is inherently inexplicable unless one resorts to "Magic" of one form or another.
Piffle. There are several cyclic theories that explain what led up to the Big Bang. I don't know why everyone thinks science avoids this area. There is quite a bit of theoretical work being done on pre-Bang conditions.

I would buy an iPad just for hat app if it existed and was sufficiently slick.

if you jailbreak your iPad to install a Python interpreter, according to Apple you're a criminal.
I can't write Python on the iPad? IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!!!! Oh, woe! Oh, Discordia!

So? Who cares? Ignore them. Game developers think I'm scum for reselling my games. Eff 'em.
And, hey, I'm currently looking at SciPy as a replacement for Matlab. Can't use the iPad for that? Oh well. I only have about a dozen other computers at work and at home I could use.
And, actually, XCode support Python, so you could write it directly.
Pretty much everything goes from homebrew to integrated/shiny.
And thank goodness for it.
Do people really want to go back to the days when you had to coax things just to work? To times when you almost began to suspect the lunar phases might be causing your cobbled together computing device to not boot up? Do people want to hand tune their televisions? Crank their cars? Get ice delivered every day so you don't die from expired food?
I mean, geez, you can just go to home improvement stores and buy piles of 2x4s. Why back in the day we had to chop down our own trees and plane out our own planks!
And all the lamentations are pointless. The iPad will not make the PC parts market go away. The two will happily coexist. People can treat computers as applicance *or* a hobby. We have choice! It really is a floor wax and a dessert topping! Choice is good! We have the Apple side for the appliance folks, and Linux for the hobbyists and Windows for the masochists!;-)
If a part broke, you could replace it yourself with a soldering iron.
Yeah, well, I challenge any of these whiny old timers to take their soldering gun to an 1156 pad ball grid array. Go ahead. I'll wait.

...can we get some more histrionics?
Apple Inc. -- the creator of the personal computer -- is leading the effort to exterminate it.
WTF are you talking about? "Exterminate?" Apple is somehow preventing me from going to amazon and ordering the parts for a new gaming PC? Are they run by Daleks now? Or I could go to Xilinx and get a demo board with an FPGA containing PPC processors and Ethernet cores. Now *that's* hardcore, baby.;-)
This all makes me want to buy an iPad to help the product line have a long life because the reactions it is causing amongst the self appointed Guardians Of Us All are absolutely hilarious.
While a computer you can modify might not sound so profound, Wozniak contemplated a nearly spiritual relationship between man and his machine.
I owned an Apple II. It was neat. There was, however, nothing religious or spiritual about the experience. It played games and I did some word processing and my first programming. It was a device. Period. Anything else is self important wankery by people seeking to fill a void in their lives by walking some imaginary One True Path of computer knowledge. Computers are handy state machines, not a relationship.
Seriously, the reactions of many guys like this is very religious. Oh no, our private club has been invaded by heretics and icky girls who break away from our precious canon and prayer books! Do they not tinker? Do they not want to spend their entire weekend setting jumpers and modifying power cables? What is this "life" of which they speak? Blasphemy!

Stay far away from Demon's Souls. The developer, From Software, had the idea of allowing other players to randomly invade your single player experience and attack you. We now seem to have piles of people who have finished the main game and just sit around invading other games. They can only invade when you are in full body form (as opposed to the hobbled soul form) in an uncompleted area, so I think From Software intended it as an occasional thing, but now you get invaded within 10 seconds of entering a new area. It was fun the first couple of times, but now you have guys who play this game obsessively and show up with special weapons that ruin your armor and other dick moves.
I started playing it offline because I just want to finish the thing. It's a brilliant game otherwise. My advice to From would have been to make the invasion thing only start happening in New Game+ after beating the game once. That would have matched the usual format of playing a single player campaign and then moving on to multiplayer.

According to a Microsoft official the phones are named Kin because they 'knit together...
Knit together, huh? C'mere you!

OK, what does it mean again?
kindred spirits.'
Oh dear, oh dear.

Are you trying to amuse me? Does "kin" seem funny to you?
It says "you turn me on" inside the package
(blank stare)
OK. Rocko! Slab! Take this guy outside and give him the extended lesson.
Oh. c'mon. Join us in the Apple way. It's fun here.

I haven't listened to anything that guy says since having to bleach my eyes after naked Raiden.
Now if he announced a web game where Snake invades Farmville with giant mechs I might take notice.
