Hunters without a weapon would be suicide and who I would least like to fight.

Same thing happened to me at Gamestop about 12 months ago and I refused it. He then got a real sealed copy but basically had a tone like "what is your problem... it WAS new!" I told the guy, sorry that isn't new and it is a gift so no way am I giving it pre-opened.

Look... Mac apps are known for being beautiful, we get it. Disco leads the pack with some neat effects... but all this attention doesn't mean anything without a useful GUI and compelling features, non of which Disco has yet.

I expect more out of Mac apps than "smoke and mirrors" (literally in Disco's case) and it is about time we stand up and make clear that a clear GUI and good features MUST come first and the glossy Apple look second.

I was Chinese when I installed 7.0.2 LOL!

I just got it.

1. VERY tiny.
2. OLD apple headphones, not the new kind from the new nano and video. DISAPPOINTING!
3. WEAK clip, don't count on this holding while hanging from the bottom of a t-shirt while running.

Zach: I think the ranking system is BASED on your bankroll. For example it will try to balance the rooms based on your bankroll, ie. high rollers with high rollers and broke guys with broke guys. The logic being if you are good you can keep your bankroll high and play with other good guys, and if you stink you will constantly play with others in the same boat. Obviously time to time a high roller will go all in and lose it all and then play with some fishes (new guys, guys that suck) but they will quickly win and return to the higher ranks.

MS will, never, ever release a demo of Halo 3. No demo could live up to the hype, better to let the drooling hoards go buy it day 1 then have time to gripe over tiny demo issues.

Demos are only good from a business perspective if you feel you target audience is on the fence on if they should buy it or not, and that your game is actually good enough that if they play the demo they will be swayed to the "buying" side. With Halo there is no fence, people will buy it day 1, minute 1 no matter if they hadn't even seen a screenshot.

Sure, Halo will continue. But Bungie can't be a one trick pony... they know they have to create new IP because Halo won't just remain the "top game" for decades or something. So after Halo 3 they will be trying to come with new IP (intellectual property) and perhaps down the line a Halo 4, or more likely a new game set in the Halo universe, but not quite Halo style will be released.

While iChat has better quality video, this is the first way to video chat with PC users that I am aware of... this is very nice.

About 30 seconds into the 0500 hour clip you see a guy propose marriage...
