I was thinking the same thing. Plus the hardware makes me suspect the battery life will be kind of shit, but I haven't looked it up. I like the idea but not the execution.

Sensible World of Soccer is only 400 points on XBLA right now. Debating whether it's worth grabbing at that price. It's not as good as the classics, but is it good enough to get at $5? That, I can't answer yet. Hmmmmm. Tough question, since Fitba was ok on indie games and is even cheaper.

The CBC in Canada is funded by tax money too, but there are still commercials. Aside from Hockey Night in Canada and a couple of news shows, nobody really watches it. It's mostly just a shitty parade of bad Canadian shows that even the Canadian networks are too embarrassed to fund (and they will...

I can't speak to the quality of UK television, but I got rid of cable in my apartment over a year ago and I haven't missed it at all. Well, that's not entirely true, since it can be a pain in the ass to find CFL games online but for most other sports I watch, streaming video has sufficed. Aside...

I built an HTPC out of a Zotac Ion motherboard and it works great. Plays 1080p no problem. Haven't done any emulating on it yet really, but for watching videos it is perfect. My Acer Timeline laptop struggles with 1080p video despite having a ULV Core2Duo vs. the Zotac's Atom 330, but the Ion...

Honestly, I'd rather have the SFIV Fight Pad. Good thing I have two. ;) This is considerably cheaper though.

Not as many as you think. I was already set to pass on any follow-up to the GP2X when the Pandora was announced, and in the configuration they were originally discussing, I would not have bought that either. The Wiz was no different. There were a lot of GP32 owners who passed on the GP2X because...

I've learned this already. Wound up borrowing a friend's HP flatbed scanner. 4 hours to do one fucking magazine, I will die before I get my whole collection done. Quality was ok though. Your OfficeJet, do you do any colour scanning with it? If you scan a magazine or comic book page, how well do...

I actually remember seeing a DIY rig for that on Lifehacker a while back, but I was skeptical that it would be as good, fast, or as easy as a decent scanner.I might have to give it a try though.

So I have a ton of magazines in a closet in my apartment, and the boxes they're in are falling apart and crushing the ones at the bottom. I want to free up the space and get rid of them, but I want the information in them. So I need a scanner. I'm wondering if anyone here can recommend a good...

I don't know of too many ethernet to wifi adapters. I know there was one for the original XBox, but a friend of mine had one and he couldn't get it to connect to networks using WPA with his 360. Not sure if that's a concern for their network, but it probably should be. Otherwise, you could set...

You're absolutely right. With a battery compartment in place already, that would be the ideal housing for a bluetooth SNES controller. Who do you need me to murder for me to get one of those? I assume the button and d-pad feel pretty close to the original SNES controller.

I had decided early on that I wouldn't buy a GP2X replacement until something quite a bit better came along. The Wiz was only a small upgrade, so even without the Pandora, I would have passed. The early discussions about what kind of hardware was probably going to go into the Pandora had made me...

Since I'm having trouble even finding a picture of one of these, I'm assuming collector dorks will have made them ridiculously expensive by the time I find one.

I honestly still prefer the way MicroB handles pages. Opera was great on the much lower resolution of my E71 but with MicroB I only occasionally have to zoom. I'll pass until that's the case with Opera, too. Oh well.

Fuck yes, the Habs have knocked over two of the best teams in the NHL in this playoff run. Two bandwagons knocked over, next stop, Eastern Conference Finals. I'm hoping the Bruins win their series, and the Blackhawks win the Western Finals. I want an Original Six Stanley Cup Final. Go Habs Go...

I wish I could turn off fit-to-width, or if I can turn it off, I wish I could figure out how. It's really the only thing that's bugging me about Opera on my N900. I like that websites, for the most part, look the same on MicroB as they do on a desktop. If I occasionally have to scroll...

It's worked out like that in Canada. The minority Conservative government hasn't been allowed to really get out of hand the way the previous Liberal and Conservative governments have. They've done stuff I've disagreed with (governments usually do), but the prospect of being forced out of...

I recently bought an Acer Timeline with a 1.4GHz Core2Duo and I'm fairly happy with it. I don't understand going crazy with laptop specs, usually that means the battery life sucks and it's heavy. I guess that Sony is not a bad price but honestly, I'd rather get something small and light to lug...

In both cases, nobody really gives a shit. There is no difference.
