    Vita news

    I agree with both sides, but I think if an item is good enough, it creates it's own buzz, it doesn't need the holidays. Where the holiday launch is good is for middle of the road gadgets, as it artificially increases their numbers, helping the marketing and negotiations with the developers in the new year.
  2. I like Crowe, but this must be a misprint.
  3. Is there a chance he can make it still? Does it follow from the Wolverine continuity?
  4. Since when did you become the physical type?

    Randomness

    Yeah, cause lbs is such a simpler format. Here in Oz we're full metric, including weight which is kilograms. Just don't speak to the horse racing industry! Crazy hands and furlongs!
  6. I'm interested in this, and it couldn't be worse than last year.

    SuaveStar's 24!

    Double wish for you on this one! Happy Birthday.
  8. I read that and all I can think of is how 'awesome' Son of the Mask was..... IF, however Keaton was on board, I would be slightly more optimistic.
  9. All I'm thinking about is how to get her out of those shoes and you're worried about her feet hurting? You're far too sensible
  10. My new housemate is watching Die Hard for the first time. I'm soo envious!
  11. Totally agree with that. I normally pretty sceptical of successful people, so much of it comes down to luck, but he has left his mark on three totally separate industries, personal computing, film animation and music. It's staggering to think that one person has had such a massive influence on so many peoples lives. * Footnote, the iPhone could be a third, but I view it as a mini computer, more than a phone, so it's almost the next evolution of the personal computer. But I wouldn't be upset if people wanted to say four industries.
  12. Seriously, I'm just as excited about seeing more of Tom Hiddleston's Loki than I am the Avengers movie.
  13. I recently employed a girl in her early 20's and the general public would find her quite attractive. I have zero ability to see her that way at all. So either I'm more professional than I think I am or I'm too old to find young women attractive any more.
  14. Funny, I've been watching some Cosby as well lately and it didn't age anywhere near as much as I thought.
  15. They actually mention that in the article. If someone designed a phone that looked like a communicator, they couldn't patent the design, because it was in a literary work. It's not the tablet concept Samsung is challenging, it's that the iPhone looks like the tablet in 2001, allowing anyone to design something that looks like that. Even some of the functionality is in the movie.
  16. Kubrick designed the iPad not Jobs I want this case by Samsung to win, not because I'm anti Apple, but because it would be awesome for science fiction to be a valid defence to prior design!
  17. Yeah that looks cool. I need to stop looking at the spoilers for this thing!

    The news thread

    I hear your argument, I'm just saying fewer operating systems is better for developers. And everyone knows apps is what made iPhone more than anything else. If you can't get critical mass with your app distribution, then your handset will fail. It will be easier for Samsung to use Android or Windows Phone 7 than to have their own that developers have to build yet another version of Angry Birds for. That said, I can see a world in the future where there are no apps and websites are build as mobile devices first and foremost, totally skipping apps. Doesn't solve the money thing, but for my business, I'm building a mobile site instead of choosing which OS to build an app for.

    The news thread

    The industry needs to consolidate to ideally only 2 platforms, for the sake of developers. Now that 'apps' are the way forward, it still makes sense to use Google or MS as your OS. So LG, Samsung, etc, need an app based platform and marketplace to compete.
  20. Nice news, double pay, that will be a very nice quality of life change!

  22. The last 5 minutes of about 80% of movies ever made.
  23. I also really enjoy So I married an axe murderer. Austin Powers lines are some of my most quoted, outside of Ghostbusters, so I'm happy with this news.

    WTF, I was joking about this.... Rioting leads to Cameron call for social media clampdown And why did he mention Blackberry? What do they do that other smart phones don't?
  25. Relying on other people to do their job properly so you can do yours, is on of the worst things about growing up.
