    Ouya - Android based open gaming console

    Regarding left-side of the controller, the KS video shows the design sketches with an analogue stick in the upper-left, with the D-pad in the center-left, near the bottom. Not sure where any touch pad would be on this though. Regarding the $100 KS price, I agree this seems low. Is there any...

    While Apple seems to have acted immorally when buying the iPad trademark, the success of the iPad has nothing to do with the name. It could be called the iPoo and people would still buy it if it offered the same functionality.

    Tried to play Ultima 7 yesterday, but the cursive writing combined with the scaled low-res got to me. I have seen it better-rendered before, so I will play around with DosBox settings. The default settings from GOG also had the NPCs running around at super speed, so something was off there...

    Pandora outdated?

    ED, if only you were writing this in German notation, where the "," is the radix point! I could afford a $50.000 donation, just not a $50,000 donation. :-)

    Anyone have experience with microwaves that have convection ovens in them? I'd like to get one for my range hood to replace a 25 year old over-range model, and to use as a non-microwave too. Do these things work at all? User reviews I've read on Consumer Reports and other places seem to moan...

    I am considering no longer attributing quotes / ideas to their source. Attribution devalues the idea itself and replaces it in the reader's mind with their attitudes towards the original author. Thoughts?

    Good with the Bad: Good: Deciding on eating chili for breakfast. Yum! Bad: On my second bite, the peppers in the chili made me sneeze. Sneezing with a mouthful of chili in front of 3 monitors is not good. Fortunately, I rose my hand in time.

    (Mis)Adventures in cooking: While I was out at friend's playing a game, Buffy made some Portuguese Bean soup. I have my morning spices in ziploc bags, sometimes unlabeled. Including bulk cinnamon and guarana powder. When adding cinnamon, she added guarana powder instead. I came home to a clean...
