    The best gaming PC will always be one you build yourself.

    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...

    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).

    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.

    So far I've seen the specs, the pictures, the reviews, and the insides. Now all I need is to try one out for myself. If I have a good experience from that, Apple will be getting my money.

    :)

    The i7 tech looks pretty impressive. I will most likely building a Windows 7 box with i7 as well.

    Didn't quite understand how useful is it gonna be, the whole quantum thing, when you need a fortune teller to read the results.

    Seams we are headed to the dark ages again. I'll keep all my P III processors, seams they can work fine for me.

    So the new feature is Turbo?

    Meh. My old PC had Turbo. It's nice to see that the new iMacs can keep up with a 386/20 with 8MB of RAM.

    @Razta: you have to push it fast. the faster you push it, the faster it goes. It's like doing the bonus stage in street fighter 2 with E-honda or Chun-li (or Blanka. but nobody picks Blanka.)

    @Razta: In a lot of cases, yes. My 286 had a Turbo switch instead of a button, but it would double the speed of the CPU from 8MHz to 16MHz.
    Ultimate POWAH!

    and yet, do you think this guy gets even close to all the poonanny he deserves? NO.

    you'd think being a brilliant scientist on the cutting edge of quantum physics/computing that will likely usher in a new era of exponential crunching power that will save millions of lives through protein simulation and genetic analysis would get you some, but no. for that you need $500 sunglasses, a disposition of imposing, brutish ignorance, a german car, and huge lats. also, you have to dance and pluck your eyebrows.

    @Newton's Law:

    careful, that works on a bell curve.

    im in san jose, where not only is the population 6:4 men to women, every other guy here is an engineer like myself - though usually better paid and with a college degree.

    if i moved to alabama they'd herald me as a god damn genius. here in the valley, im just slightly under par.
