    Would you like to see cartridges make a comeback?

    I think we are approaching the last removable media. The Broadband isn't quite there yet and internet companies have 100 years of telco thinking they need to shed... But I think we are close to ditching removable media. Probably not the next generation, but the one after that. I don't want...

    PS3 vs Computer

    The nice thing about a console is you just plug a game in and play. I tried to install a game to my computer just yesterday. I put the CD in and I had to patch the installer, got it to install the game, I had to download and install patches*, dicked around with drivers for a few hours, and...

    What has been the lifespan of consoles over the years?

    Why would you want that? They are purpose built devices. I don't want the OS of my TV to be anything but what it needs to be a TV. I don't want my DVD player to run Windows 7, I want it to run whatever OS it needs to play movies. What about running Windows 98 on Linux on the X-Box?

    What has been the lifespan of consoles over the years?

    I can't wait until the next console generation comes out and there are 90 threads about how PC gaming is dying.

    What has been the lifespan of consoles over the years?

    I feel I have a completely different X-box 360 from the one I purchased a few years ago. OK, I actually do have a completely different X-Box 360, but it feels like with NXE and the features they keep adding, it has progressed beyond what I originally purchased.

    iPhone or Captivate

    I like my Captivate and it does a few things way better than the iPhone 4. The most important of those is it makes phone calls. But when I bought it, AT&T showed me exactly why I hate going to the AT&T store. I walked around an iPhone 4 sign, tripped over an iPhone 4 display, ducked under an...

    It went from once or twice a day to once in three weeks.

    What apps do you have for android?

    I know an n=1 is useless, but after getting rid of Advanced Task Killer, my Captivate crashes a lot less. It went from every few hours to almost never. I even spent time uninstalling apps one by one. It may have been a combination, and I'm sure there are people with the opposite experience...

    Spent the evening playing 3d console games on a friends 50" Samsung 3d TV....OMG!

    That is where my hatred of 3D comes from. I hate that it is now "Yo dawg, I herd you wear glasses, so I put glasses in yo glasses".

    MPEG-4 on Xbox360 ?

    Change the extension to AVI and see if that helps.

    Skype for Android available worldwide ( crippled Skype in US)

    Is it just VOIP or all Skype? And while I hate limitations for limitations sake, what is cheaper? Voice calls or the data usage by Skype?

    Does Double Twist do internet radio?

    Pay as you go SIM card

    Depends on where I'm at, what I'm doing and which one has pissed me the least. ATT, Tracphone, Net10 or T-Mobile. Tracphone does this lame shit where they lock the SIM card to the phone, so you can't put the SIM into another device. I hear Boostmobile is OK, but I'm old and white. I don't...

    Pay as you go SIM card

    I've never seen an unlimited pay as you go. Normally, you buy minutes. Pick whatever is the best carrier in your area, and get their card. Unless your phone is unlocked or on the same carrier, you are going to need a new phone also. I get mine from Target. Of course, being from a US carrier...
