    What the hell?! They have NO SPARKLES on their XMB!! I am truly disappointed in Sony's strategy to focus on making annoying accessories instead of fixing their online community. I want to be able to join a friend who is playing Modern Warfare, not see bigger icons. I am actually concerned that both companies are too focused on following Nintendo's strategy of focusing on casual gamers. I think the lazy part of gaming is what attracts me. Not 'cuz I'm lazy, but because when I am tired from a long day at work or whatever, I can pick up a controller and play in the fetal position with minimal effort if I so desire.

    To sum this up, it sounds like the x-y-z position of the sphere can be very accurate (camera based) while the tilting of the device is much less so (accelerometer based).

    Be interesting to see what they come up with. And what price they stick on that controller. I'm assuming they will have bundles but I hope they don't cost over $70... Wishful thinking?

    @SirFenwick: I think the PS Eye is currently about $30, so $40 on top for one set of controllers and demo disc won't be too far out I'd guess. Just hope they sell the controllers in their own bundles too.

    I absolutely LOVE when companies attempt to use gimmicks like these to sell their likely *lackluster* products. It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to see them so effortlessly waste money that they probably won't ever recoup in product sales.

    In reply to Orthodox Jewish Couple Sues Over Motion-Sensing Light
    so if you're Jewish and you trip and fall onto a pile of flint, steel and dry brush, and inadvertently ignite a fire, that’s a sin?

    Because that’s what’s going on here – they aren’t intentionally ‘making fire’, it’s incidental. MY understanding of sin is that there must be some force of will behind an act for it to be sinful – you can’t accidentally sin, nor can you sin by simply being a passive participant in your environment.

    @nutbastard: I like how the proposed compromise - using a custom override switch - takes more work than just allowing the light to turn on. Since, you know, the laws were originally written to prevent you from working on the sabbath.

    In reply to Orthodox Jewish Couple Sues Over Motion-Sensing Light
    Flipping a switch to turn on the lights on the Sabbath actually falls into the Din Bniya category (building, as in building an electric circuit), and not necessarily lighting a fire. That just goes to prove that the law is not 4000 years old, but rather something much more modern. Just like in a civil court, the lawyers will argue their points based on previous legal rulings or try to persuade the court as to what the lawmakers meant in their wording etc. This applies to Jewish law too. That way the law continues to be updated so as to keep up with the times.
    As for this couple, I may suggest that they seek the assistance of the Tzomet Institute in Israel (http://www.zomet.org.il/ ). The Institute specializes in modifying technology to aid the observant Jew, and though the site is in Hebrew (the English one is under construction) I doubt they will have trouble finding someone to translate. I believe that the Institute has dealt with this issue in the past and they may very well have a solution that will satisfy all Rabbis.
    (Just to clarify, I am an Orthodox Rabbi)

    They should annex portions of the building and reroute the plumbing so that everyone else is cut off from water. Then bulldoze the other tenants flats.

    Problem solved.
