    1 in 5 Divorces Blamed on Facebook

    And the number one reason for divorce is still inattentive spouses who take their spouse for granted and foster an environment where the lonely spouse finally has had enough and searches for attention elsewhere. Facebook is simply an extremely easy medium to find that attention.

    UFO Spotted Above the Kremlin in Moscow

    Absolute hoax. The Soviets, I mean Putin's Russia, would have launched every SAM near Moscow at that thing.

    YouTuber Offered $30M Contract with Sam Raimi

    Pepperman, Without a full disclosure of how $300 was arrived at, how do you know all of this isn't included? But this is devolving into an accounting 101 homework problem now. Let's just be happy the dude made the frickin' video, the video rocks, and it didn't take the budget of a small...

    YouTuber Offered $30M Contract with Sam Raimi

    Actually you are citing the difference between cost accounting and managerial accounting. Whether it's by accrual or cash basis, cost accounting is only concerned with dollars spent. Managerial accounting deals with things such as opportunity costs. I doubt seriously that there's a large...

    YouTuber Offered $30M Contract with Sam Raimi

    logiticI have to agree, a hobbyist didn't make this film. It tooks weeks to render it, much less design it. Good work to the guy, but don't say it only cost 300$ to make... Why not? Please give some meat to your argument that he didn't have to mete out more than $300 to meet the requirements of...

    YouTuber Offered $30M Contract with Sam Raimi

    This looks about 1000 times better than Cloverleaf which people seemed to love for some reason. Cloverleaf looked like it was filmed for $300 and this looked like it had Cloverleaf's budget. I want this dude making THIS MOVIE now. No need to create a new story, this one looks AWESOME. I want...

    The image of Obama itself is offensive to a third of the country, and that is growing daily.

    Nintendo Accounts for 58% of March Console Sales

    I think the change in the fortunes of the different console manufacturers has proven that Microsoft's strategy was the best of the three. The XBOX 360 has had continually increasing sales of both hardware and software while the Wii is now in decline and the PS3 is still too expensive. Everyone...

    "People have been saying the "Kmart experience" is better for the past decade. ;) Where are they again?" All of their shelves now have inventory. That's a huge improvement over five years ago.

    PlayStation 3 Outsells Wii... in Japan

    Mach5MotorsportThat the Kmart just got a restock of Wii units. You're anectdotal observation has no weight other than being a simple one-time picture of one Kmart. btw, do people still really shop at Kmart? Lots of people shop at KMart. Go look at their stock since they merged with Sears...

    PlayStation 3 Outsells Wii... in Japan

    bin1127Don't really blame JP for not liking MS, even america doesn't like MS. And definitely the blu-ray player makes a big impact on their decision since it's convenient and saves from buying a separate player, and that FFXIII fits on 1 disc. That's just a bunch of nonsense. Just because there...

    PlayStation 3 Outsells Wii... in Japan

    The only advantage the Wii has had was pent up demand from word of mouth. That has now been satiated and either the Wii gets a new Killer Game that can re-spark that WOM, or it will finally succumb to the X360 as Microsoft's numbers continue to climb and climb and climb while the Wii has...

    PS3 Price Cut Still a Possibility?

    Whoever said you cannot play HD movies on XBOX 360 hasn't done their homework. Microsoft has many, many HD movies available through XBOX Live Marketplace. And since the XBOX 360 does an incredible job upscaling 720x480 DVDs to 720P, I have zero incentive to care about HD movies. And then...
