@redhineymonkey: If Apple came out with a Mac Mini media center at $500, it would be the first Apple product I'd have bought since the 1st-gen G3 iMac.

Hopefully this doesn't turn out to be a steampunk cash-in. I'm not optimistic.

@groberts1980 Apple painted themselves into that corner by skimping on RAM and designing the OS around not using the onboard storage as swap. And they did it again with the iPad's 256MB, despite that RAM being shared with a GPU having to cover 2.5x the resolution - you can see it in Safari's reloading issues with multiple pages open compared to the 3GS.

They never wanted to implement multitasking. Jobs hates the idea of that on a mobile device. Enough people yelled loud enough, so they shoehorned it in as best as they could. But nothing can change the absolute-minimum 128MB of RAM on a 3G/2nd gen Touch.

Will the 8GB 3rd gen iPod touch (with the old 2nd-gen hardware) get multitasking? Seems doubtful, but Jobs did say 3rd-gen iPod touch without any sort of qualification.

If it does, hoo boy, I'd love to hear the rationalization. If not, then why not mention it?

The Weisman curse strikes down yet another another company.

MekTek will join FASA, FASA Studios, WizKids, FanPro and Living Room Games. Catalyst Game Labs, which licenses Shadowrun and BattleTech for print RPGs, is circling the drain as well, with stories about owners stealing $850k from the company.

The best Bluetooth gamepad for PC is the Dualshock 3. Every other BT gamepad is designed for mobile phones - which means small, cheap, no analog sticks, built for emulators.

There's the BGT100, that's as good as it gets for something that's not a PS3 or 360 controller.

The PS3 Dualshock 3 is Bluetooth and it takes very little effort to set up for PC. Sorry, that's all there is. I've been looking, too, since 2006.

"I'm sure this doesn't apply to the one person who bought this game for $299"

14 people bought it at $299, not 1.

Via Gamasutra:

After observing that fortuitous trend, Refenes decided to test its resilience by boosting the game's selling price every time at least one copy was sold.

"I stopped paying attention to it for a while," he recalled, then "I checked it on Valentine's Day, and 14 people bought it at $299."
