How many patches until they fix the story? :p

Were they climbing the glass walls so they could see what was on the other side?

The company should be accountable, just not fully to the accidentee. Have them pay some hefty 6 or 7 figure fines to one of those oversight agencies that look out for consumer safety, cover the medical fees of the accidentee, and call it a day :)

Heck, she could have "tripped" on purpose, knowing there was a good chance she'd get a decent sized payout. :p

The problem is while our privacy rights may be eroding away at a faster and faster rate, the more the media begins to sound like a sensational headline generator before it gets all the facts the less likely it is that serious thinkers will believe anything they say in the future.

The media blows this stuff out of proportion almost as much as they did the terror threat back in the day.

I think it'd be fairly safe to say that a society would be most efficient at a particular wealth distribution curve, a curve that generates the most effective motivation:asset ratio amongst most of the population. Forced equal distribution is silly as it eliminates motivation, just as a...

Technically it could be a self-sufficient cycle. As wealth inequality continues to increase the top of the food chain will have more to spend on "charity" to the poor and impoverished as the number of poor and impoverished continues to increase. :p

We'll just wait until there isn't enough liquid left in society to drain away :)

Though I can definitely see how my previous post could have easily been seen as such.

I was commenting on the suggestions of other people, not those of Apple (who has made no such statements so far to my knowledge).

You usually design a product around what the customers do with it, or at least that's how it used to be :p Isn't putting the phone into a pant's pocket a standard storage location for the majority of customers? Telling people to change just because the structural strength of the devices has...

Too much? Does not compute.

I just think that all possible negatives and benefits were likely weighed in the decision. As a company, each decision they make primarily comes down to profit, and it's just a matter of how much each variable in the decision effects this. One could argue that they never thought "How much will...

Plus increased foot traffic to the store itself.

Will they have a 2 week vacation package?

Average game + lots of hype = recipe for a lot of negative reviews.

It will be interesting to see, because at this point doesn't the name "Nokia" still hold more weight in the mobile world than "Microsoft"? Especially when it comes to countries that aren't the US. "Microsoft" is more of a negative connotation when it comes to anything mobile :p

Only people worse than "f****t art snobs" are those who don't RTFA :p The writer of the piece believes that games can be art: Just that we shouldn't be hung up on trying to get them classified as such:

It involves Facebook, so automatic Front Page news material :p

Yeah, icons are a whole 'nother ballgame. Never have found a theme that had it all. Have to search for custom packs or even make my own. :)

That's not bad at all. Getting close to the theme I've been using in 7 for a few years now :)

Woah. That little shack has the evilest glowing eyes! That beautiful garden is obviously a trap to lure you in so it can eat you :eek:

Well, blame differs from relative responsibility, and neither are black and white. People should take as much responsibility upon themselves as is personally pertinent. Determine the spread of responsibility amongst involved individuals, and make judgements accordingly. Even if only 0.01%...

Blasphemer!!

Yep. The more you cover it up, the more people become fascinated with it. Kids, these things are organs that expel and accept bodily fluids used for reproduction and the feeding of infants, there's nothing more sexy about them than the rest of the human body. We should get our kids to spend...

Exactly. "If you're not with us, you're against us."

Hmm, Picasso also went to "cubism". Remarkable similarities *eek*

Well, it happens sometimes. Picasso's designs turned bonkers after classic early work :p

No money in service packs, and they're trying to get as far away from the "8" stigma as quickly as possible.

There's never been an out-of-the-box Windows theme I liked. Thankfully there's always custom themes. Now MS just has to allow you to theme without replacing system files.

We can only hope.

Still, onus is on the user to understand the security of the service they're putting naked photos of themselves on. Storing naked selfies on a service without two-factor authentication? *whistles* I store no private content on services that don't have multi-factor authentication, and even then...

Depends on if the word from July is still accurate:

Me visiting that link

Thankfully I stay away from both kinds of sites :p In this instance, not sure what the big deal was. Naked females are one of the easiest things to find on the internet, and celebrities bodies are no different than the rest of humanity's.

So, a website took advantage of the latest sensation to make some bucks. At least they didn't twist the truth for their own agenda and over-sensationalize it like those other sites that take advantage of the latest events/sensations to make a buck ;)

Many gamers get defensive when people try to say games "aren't art", as if that's somehow diminishing of games. I view it as the opposite. Calling games "art" is diminishing, as games contain more than just "art" and are a creation of their own kind worthy of it's own label and appreciation.

Trying to define games solely as an "art" I think diminishes from what games can truly be. Games can be a creation that is greater than the sum of it's parts. We should be celebrating games as games, something that is more than just art, something that can combine so many aspects together in so...
