    I considered putting something about how "The Best Video Game Console: Xbox 360" made me let out a heavy sigh of disappointment. But then I decided not to. Oh, wait a minute...

    In reply to Windows 7 Passes Mac OS X Install Base
    For a long time (at least 6 years) I've always envied the Macs I had to work on as a designer. Stuff was just too expensive to justify getting one (plus I used stuff that was Windows only).

    But, working on both everyday, I greatly prefer Windows 7. I work twice as fast on it than OSX.

    Finally I feel like I'm using a windows operating system that was built this decade... and it only took the whole decade to make!

    The Best Video Game Console is going to get you some serious flak.

    @VenomIreland: well, mostly because they provide no explanation in the article proper (didn't check the link). The ps3 has seen some incredible first party titles this year, has BD built in, free online network, introduced slimmer hardware, lower price point, netflix (with no Gold subscription required). Not to mention that ps3 reliability trumps the xbox all day (RROD's are reportedly less frequent, but failure rates are still high). Add banning for modded xbox's, and I find it hard to argue xbox's continued superiority just because of a slightly larger gamer community and left 4 dead 2 (which admittedly, I'd love to have on the PS 3).

    In reply to Windows 7 Passes Mac OS X Install Base
    Resident Apple fanboy reporting: Windows 7 is alright with me.

    Still like OS X better, and Windows 7 is still Windows when it comes down to it, but there's some neat stuff in 7 and it's great that people are upgrading. You don't have to be happy with XP anymore.

    @SysRq: Thank you. People need to be more civil about this stuff. All of this fanboy garbage "MAC SUXX WINDOWS FTFW!!!" needs to go. Microsoft users need to concede that Macs are not just style over substance and Mac users have to admit that Windows products are no longer the BSODing virus happy machines they used to be.

    @SysRq: Especially the media stuff. Windows Media Center is something Apple would never bother doing because they get no money out of it. They'd rather you pay for all your TV content from iTunes.

    @(Starman) Starman: I'm not a fan of either, to be honest. I never saw the appeal of a full screen media application. Fullscreen iTunes if you want music, or fullscreeen Quicktime if you want movies, or fullscreen iPhoto if you want pictures.

    It pays to be a Gizmodian. Me and the brothers want to get Mom some HDTV love this year, but know little about it. Your HDTV review was very helpful. #Thanks!

    Speaking of Zune Pass, Napster is doing something similar for 5 dollars a month (with 5 songs you get to keep). Anyone use Napster know if this is any good?

    I second the Dell Mini 10v. You can get them on sale refurbished for $200, toss in a cheap 2GB stick of RAM (I paid $20 for a stick of Geil that works great) and hackintosh away. I've been using mine for two-three weeks now and it's great.

    Now who wants to buy me a MBP and a Nikon D3s?

    How did the Adamo XPS make it to the best-ofs list, but not the HP (Macbook-like) Envy? Granted, the design is a bit derivative, but you still get way more for your money than the Adamo.

    @matt buchanan: Yowza. The display model I looked at was locked so I didn't have a chance to really test it out, but that's gotta be the shittiest trackpad in recent history for the Adamo to win.

    It's amazing how much coverage the Apple tablet gets on Giz considering how it's a product bordering on fictitious.

    @Mark Wilson: I'll take some of that action. Read what he said, "Bordering on ficticious". This is a product that is not confirmed to exist by anyone who can be said to know for sure. A million rumours do not make a product real.

    @Kaiser-Machead: i disagree...MBPs rely so much on passive heat dissipation and the air gaps below the chiclets.. Any increase in surface area is a plus and i guess that product is for those who otherwise would have it closed while docked. That's bad juju, imo.
