Summary is misleading. I was confused till I read the article. I thought Ross Perot's foundation bought it for $1.6m. I didn't realize it was a Russian that bought it for 2.9 million until I RTFA.
During my brief stint in Chicago, that's pretty much a true statement. It's that, or god forbid, a cabby honks and yells at you. And you don't want that.
"And if probably in that sense Saturday Night Fever had more impact than Empire Strikes Back."
I don't know about that. Saturday Night Fever was made after the disco era started. Has had no spoofs (Family Guy, Robot Chicken). And I doubt you'd find anyone who can recite more than one quote in that movie.
The same can't be said about the Empire Strikes back, where any number of people could probably remember any given scene or quote from that movie.
I don't know if it's in the movie, but I played a few minutes of the new Tron video game and the corruption stuff is in there from the Tron 2.0 game.
Every few years I dig that game out and play it on whatever newer hardware I have. I think the tron universe is to me what Pandora is to Avatar fans. Neat lights, no insects.
I had the good fortune of working in an arcade fixing machines that had this game. Probably the only pinball game I ever got in to. I used to take the glass top off to "clean and test" it. Once I remember putting something under the flippers to catch a ball I missed so I could progress through the game.
I don't know, my 3.5 year old daughter and 1.5 year old son love daddy's "omputer" far more than TV right now. They can draw and color wherever they touch, then send the picture to grandma. Play animal sounds by touching the picture. They can watch an awesome animated Toy Story book as it reads to them (I read to my kids everyday, but try as I might I can't make books animated). She can watch cartoons on netflix anywhere in the house. And that's just in the first few weeks, Who knows what they'll come up with months from now. I went on a trip a few weeks ago and took my iPad and my laptop. My laptop is still in it's bag.
Now I am like some of you in that your against apple's walled garden, but it's a big damn garden and I've yet to find something I need that's not in here.
Considering developers will have had access to the iPad SDK months before release, I'm sure a simple resolution fix wouldn't take more than a few days to hammer out.
I used to work for a hospital where I implemented WYSE thin clients. I also set them up for PACS x-ray viewing. Since those needed better resolution and color depth, I installed cheap video cards in them (I don't remember the model number of the WYSE, this was in 2002-03). They had one PCI slot in them and used a VIA processor. Worked great.
As far as video games, I am far better with the digital pad or analog thumb stick than I am with a wheel. Maybe I didn't give the wheel enough time, but I was all over the road with it in Forza and Gran Turismo games. I've been driving for 15 years and I consider myself a pretty good driver.
Well the Wii and PS3 don't charge for their network usage, so that makes Live competitor-less in the for pay console network. Wait, that's a monopoly... someone call Congress!!!
There is an app or something that will update the shopping channel without updating the system. I have not ran it yet so I can't comment on how it works.

I'm not saying overall they are ahead, but I wasn't sure what you meant by your post.
I think you mean Reavers.
I don't know. I really liked the box art. I think it helped make the game more than just the blocky pixels you saw on the screen.

So what you're saying is that the US needs to invade India.
I, to my knowledge, invented the term "butt-clinchingly close".

I nominate the Techno Viking.
That's no moon... oh wait, sorry, yes it is.

Catholicism? Though that was a bit before the 18th century.

I believe all iPhone applications will work on the iPad. http://www.apple.com/ipad/app-store/
Spoke too soon. There are 3G models available.

If it's just two of us. I try to find the cut that best divides the pizza in half and just separate then before either of us takes a slice.
