EdZ

That character's looking rather Nihei there. The background, unfortunately, does not. Yet another FPS-with-random-powers-thrown-in set in generic grubby sci-fi environment number 87.

CBR/CBZ are just renamed RAR and ZIP files. Just extract them to a folder, and you'll have a series of numbered images. I'd be very surprised if it can't view simple jpg or png files.

I'm guessing Joystiq forgot the Rupee is the national currency of India. At the current exchange rate (sourced from Xe.com), 1 million US Dollars is about 48 million Rupees.

Remember to apply the included snake oil to your ears before listening. Does anyone REALLY believe this 'audio enhancer' crap still?

Well, Link DID do a lot of breaking into peoples houses, smashing up their crockery, and stealing their money.

The same, or lower. The per-layer density is the same as standard discs (this is limited by laser wavelength and drive mechanics, which won't change), just in more layers. Same, as reading one layer will be the same speed, slightly lower if content is positioned 'above' contiguous content, and assuming the layer switching time is negligible in the face of seek time.

I assume a DAC on a USB bus to avoid the line-noise you get from on-board sound chips. i.e. every laptop ever, and almost every desktop ever (sans the very few with a decent PCI sound card or external device). Even with a fairly cheap DAC, the improvement will be vast, especially with headphones with sensitive drivers (low impedance). Trying to use the built-in output from a macbook pro with IEDs is an exercise in unpleasantness.

They're the BOSE of the headphone world.

Didn't apple switch to TN panels for the last generation or two of Cinema Displays in order to keep costs down?

Uh, DirectX handles 2D acceleration too, you know. It doesn't appear in the framebuffer by magic.
