While it's not the greatest thing ever, the Western Digital Worldbook external network drive works for me. It's 1TB if you use it regularly or 500MB if you mirror raid it (which I do). There are 2 of these though, so you want the older version that is actually 2 drives in the case, not the newer slim one drive unit (which can't obviously mirror raid).
The best part is Best Buy recently clearanced these guys for super cheap for some reason, so this unit was actually cheaper than buying the equivalent bare drives!
The most successful places I've seen all had snack machines/drink machines. Stock them with pretzels, chips and other junk food that require something to drink, and have a coke/pepsi machine there also. If you stock them yourself you can keep the cost low and have stuff that the local kids most want, and keep the price below what a regular machine would charge (places like BJ's club actually sell snack machines) and you'll be making a gazillion dollars. If you get an automated coffee machine/cappucino macine also, you'll be making money like a damn rocket from all the kids going crazy.
Make a deal with a local pizza place for a comission on any orders placed and you can make even more.
It's all about the side items.
Side note: I've read some information about the Blu_ray drive that is supposed to be in the PS3, and according to all of the reports I've read it will actually be SLOWER than a regular DVD Drive. Comparisons to the XBOX 360 drive show it to be possibly 5 times slower. This was based on the stats provided for 1X blu-ray drives, which everyone thinks will probably be in the PS3.
My issue with websites are their tendency to over rely on IE specific coding, or to actively put in blocking mechanisms that do the "you can't use this site with anything but IE 6.0" stuff. Obviously, these won't work at all on a mobile device, even a PPC, since that version is only listed as 4.0. One of my banks does this now, and it really pisses me off that I can no longer check from my Zodiac 2 palm.
Personally I tend to look at companies that do this as lazy, since there is always a way to code things that follow the xhtml standard and still get things done the way you want them for your site.
Uwe Boll is a well known joke, especially based on the fact that the House of the Dead blew hard. Let's put it this way, the House of the Dead 3 game for Xbox had a preview of the movie that did more to dissuade you from seeing the film than it did to pump any interest.
this webcomic at www.onezumi.com poked fun at what stupid levels he'd sink to if ANY videogame was up for movie treatment. (the little prince is shaking in fear somewhere....)

I'm totally sure I saw a documentary on this on the SF channel the other day.

No, what it means is he's getting better at figuring out how to lose money faster. Soon the Movie will close before it ever premieres.
