@Esposch Sony's PSP department is proof that crappy or nonexistent games won't generate sales.

I've gotta say, I was relieved when they brought the dog back to life. I was stressing over that.

@bnapy Enjoy your 6-8 month wait and your four games with DirectX 11 support. Us with "money to blow" will be rocking out with no regret. There's barely any difference between my current laptop's 2.0GHz C2D and the M11x's 1.6GHz OC'd C2D.

The general consensus with M11x owners is: zero buyer's remorse. It's the best computer in price and quality for its size.

Shantotto and the Judge are special chars you don't get until the end of the game. Dissidia is really just for the first ten Final Fantasies, the Hero from XI and the Villain from XII are unlockables.

lol Dude you can't play Chaos. Too bad you haven't actually played the JP version or you would know this.

Exactly. They're just spouting ideas, like a couple of college students who just discovered patents.

You kidding? She was expressing herself with her clothing? The only thing she was expressing was how she wanted everyone to see her goods.

I honestly don't care if someone on a plane is dressed like that, but I know some parents do. It's not like she was wearing a yarmulke or had a shirt that showed her disdain for current politics; she was showing everyone her underwear.

Spiffy, I really like how it looks low-key.

tillman, actually learning about the OS you're using is fun. Command + ` will cycle through multiple instances of the same program. This lack of knowledge also voids your comment about using the keyboard in XP all day, since knowing what keyboard shortcuts do is -how- you're able to stay on the keyboard for so long.

In terms of efficiency, if you've grown up with XP then you will know more about XP and thus will be more at home using XP. I've never had a problem with opening rather large files (a 300MB in After Effects in addition to a 150MB file being open in Photoshop). Maybe you should try NeoOffice instead of Microsoft Office for spreadsheets.

Wonderful. That and $3.49 will buy you a coffee. What it -won't- do
is tell you how an open source phone will compete against a
relatively closed handset. And the iPhone 3G's price is only slightly
less than the first generation if you consider the outrageous contract
you have to sign. Keywords: have to.

The iPhone's software, on the other hand, is great. The amount of
apps written for it grow every day and are always innovative. But I
wouldn't put out the cash for a phone just based on the applications
I can get for it.

Your article came off a tad (re: extremely) arrogant and conclusive
for a "battle" that hasn't even begun. Keep in mind that a lot of Mac
users and TUAW readers are big fans of Google, too.
