    In reply to Orson Welles and His Brief Passionate Betacam Love Affair
    Wonderful article, thank you. I enjoyed the technical aspects as well as your account of the legend himself.

    I've read Orson was melancholy at times in his later years, Hollywood thought him a relic. It's wonderful that you worked hard to help him realize his project, I'm sure it was a boon to his spirit right to the end.
    This was a great read.

    One of my worst experiences was at a midnight premier of The Return of the King.

    Some lady brought in her twin toddlers...

    To a midnight showing of a 3 hour movie...

    I was not pleased.

    @skaven: Odd that they remained awake to pester you. Most toddlers would've been asleep within five minutes of that movie, regardless of time of day. Sounds like she was an all-around crappy mother; those toddlers were obviously used to staying up waaaay past a reasonable bedtime.

    @Starwatcher: I was surprised just the same. I image the loud war noises (etc) kept them up.

    The strange thing is that if you compared this list to one from ten years before it, you would have seen a LOT more innovation than the previous decade (the 90's). It may be we are starting a plateau along the lines of design or technical capability? Or perhaps it is now more of a price evolution for the competitive brands?

    LMAO, funny thing is that in South America PS2 is still the console. Also, turns out the console was actually xbox.

    And WHAT THE FUCK happened to Sony's bullshit liar-liar pants on fire lie about their consoles being in a 10 year cycle. Fuck you, maybe if you count Brazil, which you fucking can't.

    Great Article! I've purposefully avoided any news whatsoever about this film so that I can go to the theatre with a fresh, open mind. After reading this, I'm really looking forward to it.

    I had the Visor and a version of the Nomad, and of course I had a PS2.

    All great suggestions, but you forgot the GPS attachment for the Visor!

    @logruszed: Got my Visor Neo just before heading off to University. Got the foldaway keyboard as well. Used it for two years to take notes, really turned heads back in 2001 when almost nobody had laptops (those who did lamented lugging them around and poor battery power.) I replaced it with a Palm Zire71 when I got tired of swapping out AAA batteries.
    Only got one cartridge for the Neo, and it was a Tiger Woods game, on clearance for like a buck at Staples. It should still be around here somewhere.

    What's funny is my best friend had 4 of the above gadgets back then; the PS2, the Creative Nomad, the Nikon camera, and the Motorola text message pager thing. The last one was by far the coolest in my opinion back then. He would email me all the time with that thing. I could always tell that it was him because the email address was goofy as hell, 235923459809@_____.com. It was just a string of numbers. I forgot the carrier though.

    #5 is great. Surprisingly, I recognized the lake instantly even though we just quickly drove by it during a trip to Banff a few years ago. I guess the big granite cliffs are a bit unique.

    Are we sure that iPhone setup isn't available as a Jailbreak theme? Because I'd buy an iPhone just to use it.
