It's silly. He's bemoaning the loss of "the music industry." What this means is that he's bemoaning 15-million-dollar albums and record label profit. For 10 grand, a kid off the street can produce a kick-ass album in their basement, pop it on iTunes and make his money back. Then, with said...

jellicoAnd by "He n I" Snoop really means, HE, because Snoop sure as hell doesn't have that kind of money. It would funny as hell if Mark's response was something like, "How about *I* go and buy a sports team and Snoop buys a ticket and watches from stands like everyone else. Foshizzle!"...

On texting your grandmother: Assume, if you would: Child - 13. Now, taking socioeconomic status into play (riding a school bus, but also having a phone), we can assume at least lower middle to middle class. Well, if you look at the average birth age for first-time mothers in 1970 (about 40...

mouse/touchpad, hands down.

would be WAY more awesome if it were the transparent OLED's like they were showing off at Computex. But it is still pretty nifty.

One thing I think is sort of annoying. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but do they ever give a pseudo-sci explanation for the Holodeck? I'm a pretty big trekkie (with a slipping memory) and I don't ever recall them doing anything more than explaining it away as what it is, now how it works. So, I...

I'm not one to make sweeping predictions lightly (while I'll make specific predictions with abandon ;-) ) But, IMO, Blu-Ray is to streaming what Paper is to digital forms. It sounds all well and good, and it makes record keeping easier, but in the end, nothing beats a hard copy when it comes to...

You know, I'm convinced Parrish mistypes on purpose to mess with people. And aside from the afore-linked, where he even states exactly what I was going to put out, PC IS more secure than Mac...it's just got 90% of the marketshare and 90% of the hacker focus, so there's a LOT that's known about...

comcast donated 250,000$ to an advocacy group to shut down an effort by my city to install fibre optic internet, an effort that would have brought internet to EVERY ELECTRICITY CUSTOMER we have. We HAVE A FULLY OPERATIONAL FIBRE RING in place, but comcast paid an advocacy group to prevent the...

Depends on what "online play" means. If it's similar to the "Demon's Soul" concept where they can just have little flavor snippets throughout the game based on what other people said, I can get behind that. And I HATE DLC I THINK DLC IS THE BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME EVER. ESPECIALLY if it's released...

IMHO: I am sure they are actually that dismal, but I'd also like to see the sales figures for all the other phones. I postulate that there is just a HUGE non-iPhone diversity level over there. I bet that all the android handsets are doing similarly, and that even the iPhone, while markedly more...

In order from lfet to right (that I can see:) Solving crime like chris matthews, pedobear, bag-on-fire, three-wolf-moon, bacon everything, narwhals from weebl-stuff, "I put on my robe and wizard hat...", Psychotoad, /b/'s trolls, HL2 Crowbar, "It's never lupus", Fresh prince, the great escape...

Eh, I think Uncharted is getting more fanfare than it's worth. It's just a Tombraider knockoff that has a better-iterated user interface. Something more creative for "game of the year" would have been more desirable. A lotta good games came out this year.I just don't think "game of the year'...

It's very understandable. There are some people (younger people) who have a hard time differentiating "Video game bad guys in x form" from "I am actually "killing" civilians." When I play a game, and as lots of my friends feel, you don't actually "feel" like you're killing something legit...
