    I have to say, as an avid chess player, and geek-tard, I like the chess board. The Rubik's Cube isn't so bad either.

    I have to say, having to turn that plastic cube everywhere only adds to the frustration of spending hours trying to solve the original. A new electronic version should allow us to hack into it's global network and turn into a Borg Cube controlled by Pee Wee Herman who will no doubt use it to capture the attention of children in far-off galaxies.

    On second thought, I want Pee Wee to remain an Earth-only phenomenon, so I will continue to endure the wrist pain and stick with the puzzle I have never solved without the help of Google. Technology be damned.

    9 of these are horrid, terrible ideas, fueled by money crazed executives.

    1 is so awesome, one wonders if it appears here only because it's awesomeness took hold of the writer's mind and forces him to add it to things it shouldn't be to just stand out even more.

    Yes I'm talking about that incredible Vacuum tube chess set. It's awesome. Very awesome, and does not deserve to be on this list.

    @RoboBagins: I was just going to say. That chess set is just neat and hardly a digital conversion. But, any reason to show it off is good enough for me.

    I also was completely flabbergasted to see the rock, paper, scissors contraption. It actually offended my delicate nature.

    In reply to Conde Nast Closes Four Magazines, Focusing on Digital Distribution
    I don't understand why they totally close magazines, if they still have a readership, moving them digital does save lots of money and does not have as much overhead as printed magazines so you would think before they close them, they would move them digital first and see if they can stay afloat there. I read all of my magazines digitally now and don't mind paying for them because I can get them earlier, don't waste the paper (which I have to recycle later) and have the digital copies forever without taking up space (harddrive space is cheap and easy to have around).

    This really needs to have a motion detecting camera, to take pictures while you're away. Also, some sort of connection to your computer would be genius.

    The maker is probably saving that for the upgraded version.

    I don't get all the hate for displayport, and frankly I don't get all this concern over HDMI and why Apple should bother to add it to their laptops. I'd like to see them try eSATA first. Technically, for a computer, DP would be the superior option, since it has a great deal more flexibility than HDMI for use on a desktop. If I wanted a display with an embedded USB hub and/or integrated webcam, DP can support that signal through the same cable, whereas HDMI would require extra cables. DP is clearly positioned as more of a desktop peripheral port to replace DVI and VGA, not be the big thing for set top boxes, even though a properly implemented DP-enabled device could just as well do that too.

    @Kaiser 'Pervy-nano' Machead: I see your argument for desktop PCs....but most apple computers are laptops, and I think an HDMI port would be much more useful. You take your computer to a friends house, its so easy to put the picture on the TV via HDMI. Such a pain to carry a dongle around

    @MrBlahBlah: Granted, however other less cumbersome options exist, such as those available from Monoprice. It's a dongle, but it's also a cheap dongle. No doubt your friend would have an HDMI cable if he has an HDTV. If he doesn't, knock him out and take his TV. It's only right.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Yeah, DisplayPort does tend to get a lot of crap without really deserving it. It's really a very capable, flexible option. The only thing that, in my mind, really holds it back right now is that Apple, being one of the largest manufacturers using DP right now, has decided for whatever reason (I'm sure they've got a good one) that they're not going to configure their computers to be able to output sound through DP. A DisplayPort connection, as I understand it, CAN in fact support sound, granted that the motherboard and what not on the computer itself is set up to send audio out thru it.

    Personally, I think that if Apple were to implement Mini DisplayPort in such a way that it could also support audio out over the same connection, many of the complaints against DP would vanish.

    /if I have any of that wrong, don't be afraid to correct it - I don't have time to fact check right now... too lazy

    @brobot: You're right. Apple's displayport is gimped so that it can't pass audio through to another device through either another displayport or HDMI. But as it becomes more available on other systems, it will be interesting to see how capable mini displayport is. Anyone out there know how the video out is on the Dell Adamo?

    But I suspect that their reasoning for gimping the displayport is to give the AppleTV a false edge over the other Macs. Now that the Mini has DP, it would basically be the perfect set top box, but is limited so that you need an extra cable, whereas you can use whatever you have at home for the ATV. Sounds a bit flimsy, but I wouldn't put it passed Apple.

    The more and more I look at the image, the more I am worried about the quality of glass. I am one of the lucky few that got a hold of the LX3, and the glass on there is pretty amazing, for a point and shoot. I would be curious to see side by sides from both cameras.
