@bigsofty But...Beat matching is hard! It takes talent!

I agree though, there isn't anything wrong with being a DJ, just don't call yourself a musician.

Since last year? They have been doing this apple stuff since at least 2005-ish when I started reading the site. You can't really take any of these Weblogs Inc. sites very seriously, it's more for entertainment than news whether you want to admit it or not. I pile them in with Tom's Hardware. Everything you read on there you have to take with a grain of salt. Some people don't realize this and get pissed/leave but here I am still reading because it doesn't make the site crap or anything you just have to take it for what it is. (If it was all business/top quality articles it would be like Anand where they don't update nearly as often so you would have much less to read, don't get me wrong though, Anand is awesome) There was a clear drop in quality after the AOL buyout that no one wants to admit to either but that's another story.

If you want to see some REALLY insane Apple bias and such start reading Lifehacker. They run a lot of complete garbage filler articles over there too. I don't even know why I bother with that site anymore, there are like 2 good articles a month and the rest is apple stuff or "hacks" that should be common sense/at least a quick google search. A lot of times it seems like a slightly techy site for women too. They where not like this years ago though when I started reading. I have no idea what happened over there. (Didn't that Gina chick take over at some point? It's probably her fault, I hate most of her stupid articles) It's written by a bunch of super yuppies though so what can you expect. (You yuppies sure like your apple stuff for some reason, just an observation.)

Where does the next Tetris block really come from?

that was pretty funny. Doesn't the game pick the next piece based on how much difficulty it thinks your having with each piece? I think I read somewhere that if you move pieces around a lot before locking it in place the game thinks you are having trouble with it. So you can cheat by moving the line piece around a ton every time you get one and then you get them a lot more often. It seems to work for me.

Comcast delivers data usage meter in Portland, Oregon

Oh my god 2-4GB a month is what the average person uses? I use between 8-25GB a DAY according to my router logs and that is after calming it down a bit, I usually try to aim for under 10GB a day. My ISP must be mighty nice not to cap me or complain at all. They did complain at my old place once though because me and my roommate burned through 80GB in a day, it wasn't a big deal though they turned it right back on. That I admit was a bit excessive.

@Shootingblue No way, Lifehacker does have some really good articles every once in awhile, but most of the time it is complete garbage. Very poorly written too. It's like the common sense blog for idiots now.

Vote Engadget! Vote Wikipedia! (Almost chose Google, considered Amazon for a bit too)

So long, 2500 Modern Warfare 2 Steam cheaters

Nov 30th 2009 3:26PM (Joystiq)
They don't usually do that. In fact the only cases I have heard of where this happened was where someone was playing a pirated steam game with steam open (duh) and apparently got caught. I guess the idea is if your stealing steam games they have no way of telling which ones are stolen and which ones you paid for so you just lose everything. I don't know if that is true or not though. Although I have seen crazy stuff that lets you download any game you want through steam without paying.
