shinchan commented on Question of the Day: Do You Feel Naked Without Your Cellphone?

"I only ever leave my cellphone at home when I play sports. As it might break or get lost (I lost one phone ages ago when playing football). And even then I feel naked... I guess it's always that feeling of "maybe someone is calling me at this instant about something important" that makes you feel uneasy when you're without your phone."

shinchan commented on Zune Guy Buys iPod classic, Hell Freezes, Apocalypse Nears!

"I owned 2 ipods (2nd gen, and the 60gb video), and as my latest broke I bought a Zune on ebay, still waiting for it to arrive. I chose Zune over the ipod classic as it's got a bigger screen (for video), and I've played with the ipod classic and the UI seems more like a downgrade than an upgrade to me. We'll see if I regret my choice when the Zune arrives ;p"

shinchan commented on Nintendo Says Wii Still in Short Supply This Christmas, We Call Them Out

"@CutePuppyz: That's probably why there's such a high demand in the first place: people who only buy them to sell them off for a profit on ebay.. I mean, no one wants a wii anymore these days, the hype has long gone and most have realized that it was more of a clever innovation which gets boring after a short while."

shinchan commented on Samsung's i8510 Boasts Almost Everything, Plus An 8 Megapixel Camera

"nice! I was looking for a replacement for my older samsung slider, and this seems to be worthy, feature-wise. 120fps video sounds good, but I wonder how good the quality on that really is."

shinchan commented on PlayStation 3 80GB Core Pack Debuts in Sept. for $399

"@trystram: Looking at the logo on the box (the controller with the vibration lines around it), it seems to have the new DUALSHOCK3 controller bundled ;)"

shinchan commented on The i8510: Samsung's 8 Megapixel S60 Slider

"@midtoad: That doesn't really make much sense, I don't see what the relation between the camera's megapixel count and the pixels on the screen have in common. The pictures are meant to be viewed on a pc or connected to a tv; and/or printed."

shinchan commented on PlayStation 3 Firmware 2.41 Coming "Midweek"

"I'm glad I managed to get the update while it was still available I wonder if the bricking of a couple of systems is the only reason it was pulled out, everyone I talked to didn't seem to have a problem installing it; it seemed to me as a pretty scarcely spread problem.."

shinchan commented on MacBook Air With Solid State Drive Gets $500 Price Cut

"@Dearhaw: that's because apple products are sold at a very high surplus compared to other hardware to begin with. most apple products are sold with a huge profit margin and lowering the price of a product by 20% after a period of time doesn't lower that margin much; if it even lowers it at all, as manufacturing costs decrease."

shinchan commented on 10 Things We Still Want in PlayStation 3 Firmware (i.e. NOT In-Game XMB)

"@atomo: I did get the sarcasm (I mean who'd willingly want to run OS X when you can have linux :p) but I thought I'd point the bluray ripping feature out to people who don't know :)"

shinchan commented on 10 Things We Still Want in PlayStation 3 Firmware (i.e. NOT In-Game XMB)

"@atomo: You can already rip bluray disks, either via linux or a special 3rd party bootloader called Swiss Army Knife(SAK) - Demos are installed automatically as long as you don't tell it to download in the background - NTFS support would be nice, but won't ever happen as it's microsoft."

"@zed0: Well, if it's Softbank's founder who proclaimed that; I guess it's just marketing to get more people to buy one. You know, because something that's rare is ultimately desirable."
