"13. Participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes an entrant’s consent to the Sponsor’s use of his/her name, likeness, voice, opinions." Use for what?!?

@JD88 If you don't get why it's wrong to snoop on your customers without their knowledge, and why it's wrong to not give a f*** when found out, or the fact that this is the environment we live in now... If you don't get why what the NSA is doing is a disaster waiting to happen... Then yes, you...

"it may not have 'real value', i understand that but at least its legal tender for debts and can pay my taxes with it. its a real currency, bitcoin is just a script kiddies wet dream." More and more "legit" places accept bitcoins, and there is no sign bitcoin exchanges will disappear any time...

Well, I just hope they patented the heck out of it. I'm so glad we can rely on Apple as the sole innovator in the phone industry, nay, the universe!

MS doesn't have the best track record with funny, lighthearted or subtle, sure. But even with that in mind I just wasted 2 minutes watching this. A couple of 'he' moments, among many 'meh' moments for me.

We're talking EA sports games, right? So who cares?

Did anyone manage to find the Apple patent protecting "a software to retrieve existing patent filings, append the words 'on a mobile device' and submit the result as a new patent automatically" yet?

I'd like to see a special recommendation for the card that allows for "nice looking" quality settings at 1920*1080(1200). I may be willing to fork out $X, but if a cheaper card does what I need, why would I? Obviously I look at tests, but the quality settings are usually adjusted to the range...

My S3 can get pretty hot, another reason you don't want a "high-end" chip in there :)

I don't get the whining about an alleged user error in only sending the broken part. Yes, it's part of the package, that's the only reason you could come up with. The broken part can be tested without the original pad. The pad part is functional and sending it in steals productive time with the...

So, the response to piracy is to make piracy more attractive. Myup, that's pristine Microsoft reasoning (and EA, and....)

OnusSo, is there any possibility they will scrap the always-online requirement? That is their only hope of getting me to buy Sim City. They're now calling it an MMO, so my guess is NO. There's been vague hinting that offline may be added when the game gets old and they want to save money by...

You're saying it's available in BLACK now?!? Sweet mother, my morning wouldn't have been complete without this crucial bit of news.
