@BergenCountyJC: It's interesting to consider that due to the digital transition, the generation of people born today will never see television static.
@Hello Mister Walrus: It is unfortunate that tv static will be reduced to an eventual internet meme --- at times I found the static calming..without the sound on of course
@axiomatic: Remember in the older versions of Windows you could watch the little green blocks turn blue as soon as they had been defragmented. It was mesmerizing. Also, harddrives were small enough where you could sit through an entire defrag watching.
Seriously.... I feel like I am the only one who is excited about the Zune Phone! Just the idea of not being tied down to apple blows me away. I know Android is great, but the average Joe has no clue how to use it, and the Palm being only on Sprint isn't going to have near the impact the iphone does.
I AM SUPER PUMPED for anything Zune Phone related. I just can't wait till this St*ff gets real
@rain316: Tied down to Apple? When did the purchase of Apple products become this onerous chore? Geez, if you can't stomach Apple, there's lots of other stuff out there for you to buy, you don't need to get your panties in a bunch over Unicorns and Zune Phones.
@someToast: Or lose every time, depending on your perspective.
@secretmanofagent: If I was more ambitious, I'd make a Yanko, Redesigned webpage where the engineering-minded would do mockups of what their stuff would look like if it were made to actually work (hint: it would make all their stuff really ugly)
the lucky silver dollar had a 'tracking device' in it. could be a good idea for today, a GPS beacon, like for if your kid goes missing, or gets himself stolen by the next wave of the Cult of his Steve-Woz worshippers.
@OMG! Ponies!: Ah but those are the gentle robo-bears, they have since renounced their bear ways and turned to hippie-love machines. I would hope for your sake Lion-O would be able to handle such poor excuses for bears. All I know
Jungle Book = Bear beats cat Care Bears = Tenderheart Lion is a pushover Winnie the Pooh = Winnie kills off the one-time feline character and drinks his blood as an example to the others.
Hey bears don't mask their deadly intentions, it's those damn kittens that should be feared, always sneaking around, playing with string and poisoning our water supply.
@Thats Dr Bear to You: My brothers wife has a hilariously unnatural fear of cats.
She claims some article she read about how if an owner's dog dies and is left undiscovered in their home the dog, so helpless and dependent on its owner, will die as well (or at least it supposedly stated an instance of that happening). Then it claimed that the same situation, this time happening to a "crazy cat lady" with several cats, that when the owner died the cats, still independent and easily reverting to their wild behavior, ended up eating the lady's face, fingers and toes in an effort to stay alive.
Other than her irrational fear being hilarious, "If you turn around the next thing you know that cat will eat your face", that just reinforces my idea about how independent and hands-off cats can be as a pet. Whereas dogs need constant attention and reassurance.
Either way I have both, and my dogs and cats all sleep together in their beds and its the cutest damn thing I've ever seen.

-addresses non-existant issue
-lacks sense of realism, or even a basic grasp of the tech that would be necessary to build something remotely like what they propose
-rendering looks good at a glance, but not under closer inspection
-ipod-esque aesthetic

I'd call it a game, but a game like in that Twilight Zone episode where you win every time.

You're lucky Lion-O is in a good mood or he'd wipe out the lot of them.
