Now, if only those silly directors would stop putting all the action in the middle of the screen.

Marvel Tier 1: Spiderman, X-Men
Marvel Tier 2: Captain America, the Hulk, Iron Man (since the movie), and maybe Thor and the Fantastic Four

DC Tier 1: Superman, Batman
DC Tier 2: Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, and maybe Green Lantern and the Justice League

Most people probably couldn't tell you which character goes with which publisher, and only recognize the characters because of appearances on TV, cartoons, and the
movies.

Stepping out of our bubble for a moment, it's a little sad to realize that the Wonder Twins are probably a more well-known and marketable asset than the Watchmen.

For all the reasons you've gone over here already. Only complaint? Treating a dual booting machine as two separate computers.

If it bugs you, you can probably poke around the web and find drivers to fix it.

What you're seeing is the IR touch system not capturing the initial touch. That's the good/bad of an IR system. You don't have to actually press down on the screen (so no need to leave fingerprints), but if you try and finesse it too much by skimming across the screen, it won't always pick it up.

They probably should have added audio cues to the interface so you can hear a slight click and dragging sounds. The only thing that makes me hesitate is the lack of an SDK to increase the potential for future applications. HP has about as good a track record with software as Sony.

After finishing one pint, I went back to the store, and bought the remaining quantities on the shelf.

So what did your month old Wii Fit think of this?

Besides their simple UI, Palm's other strength was always their openness to developers and the number of apps available. These days, all those apps are available online...and I think that's what Colligan is hinting at. A communication device that lets me access all those web tools that replaced the Palm Apps.

Long live the PC!

...along with the lack of recommended training regimens, there's no way to have the game automatically step you through a circuit of exercises. Consequently, screwing with menus makes it so that a 45 minute workout includes 30 minutes of fiddling to choosing exercises, etc. That's a waste of time.

Watching the video of BLam having to pick up the remote every couple minutes to navigate a menu makes me think this thing could use a microphone for voice control. It also makes me wonder how open the balance board is to 3rd party developers. WiiWare might be full of personal trainers by this time next year.

I can go into Borders and get any hardback for less than the kindle price. I can go to a used bookstore and pick from an even larger catalog for half the price!

Seriously...what the hell? Has there ever been a medium more ripe for cost savings by digitization? Where are the savings?

Of course, laying out the issues isn't much of a priority for the NYT or the phrase "the Supreme Court will soon decide whether to take up the question" wouldn't be buried in the 2nd to last paragraph.

Go viral marketing!

The trick for the console makers isn't bandwidth, it's DRM.

Naturally the brother, a research scientist, knew that fingertips regrow themselves with a simple bandage.

Doing these things allow you to repackage current gen technology into a sexy package that everyone is willing to pay next-gen prices for (see: Apple). If the buzz can be maintained, you can string out each market segment as you slowly lower the price while maintaining your margins.

Sounds like Moto just lost the wrong guy on the product side and the other execs got focused on share price (like they're supposed to be) without replacing the talent they'd lost.

And what kind of Gizmodo post is this that doesn't tease a media center PC for not having built in HDMI?

Why is this any better than having a small bluetooth phone that talks to my GPS, PDA, speakers, headset, etc. without ever taking it out of my pocket?
