Yeah - it looks like a torpedo with wings. And I love how the legs tuck back for aerodynamics.

AND THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT TO MOTHER-FUCKING SAY ABOUT THAT INSANE BRAIN-MELTING GOD-DAMNED SHIT!

I apologize for the outburst, but some situations just call for it.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

For me, I like the iPhone because it feels like the future- it's a frigging tricorder.

Sure if you look at just the specs, nothing particular high-end, a 3 megapixel camera is run of the mill. But that's the mistake that many, including other computer and phone makers make. They treat their products like a pile of parts to be cobbled together- maximum bang for buck - and it shows.

You have to admit that Apple has shaken up the phone industry- when I go into the phone shop these days, all of the high-end plastic phone models look to be "inspired" by the iPhone, even down to the layout of little shiny icons on the touchscreen.

I have friends at work who have phones that they compare to the iPhone - "why would you want that thing? My LG Viewty has a 5 megapixel camera." Meanwhile the iPhones are actually used on a daily basis for uploading photos, playing music surfing the web- while the LG has reverted to just a phone.

People who buy computers and phones as a shopping list of components will never understand the lure of Macs or iPhones.

It looks like Jimmy has the same LG cell phone that I do. How cool does that make me?

Well actually Looking Glass Studios folded mostly because while making incredible innovative games that were highly praised critically they never sold enough copies and constantly needed capital injections.

When Eidos over reached with its frivolous funding for Ion Storm it couldn't come up with the capital to sustain LGS, the company folded and much of the staff got rolled into Ion Storm Austin.

With Ubisoft buying old Eidos IPs there is alot of speculation that after Dues Ex 3, Ubisoft will be resurrecting the Thief franchise.

With that setup I can run Crysis decently on high, Crysis Warhead is even better. Most games I run at 1920 by 1200 without a hitch.

I'm a PC, and I just ugpraded. I'm fast as fuck:
Vista 64 bit, Cooler Master Cosmos, Asus P5Q Deluxe, Core2 Duo E8600 @ 4.10GHZ, Zerotherm Nirvana, 2x2GB OCZ Reaper PC2 8500, Sapphire Radeon HD 4870X2, X-fi Titanium, WD Raptor, WD Caviar, LG Blu-ray.

My old crap Motorola took WORSE photos at hi-rez. Proper lighting is KEY, though. Forget a flash, strong natural light is key. The rule of thirds is wonderful, but contradicts the 'full frame' advice. Fail. No movement - duh. The LG Shine, I must point out, takes surprisingly AWESOME photos.

Abducted is right about the generic advice being better for P&S models.

I was hoping for some more cell-phone specific tips here, still upvote, as it's cute enough to go through. Or I'm late and my judgement is impaired by lack of sleep.

Conversation on whether this is 'art' or 'softporn' reminds me of BBC documentary "How Art Made the World", in which they open by discussing the Venus of Willendorf (http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/s/images/stoneag_willendorf.lg.jpg), a female-form sculpture from >25,000 B.C..

Turns other there are many eerily similar ancient sculptures from many different ancient cultures... the most attractive thing to sculpt was a female form with exaggerated sexuality (nude with large hips/breasts/etc.) and a lot of weight on her (a rarity with the hard lives they led). The sculptures are also devoid of facial features...

Anyhow, the only point I really wanted to make is that there are a lot of different emotions involved in the human condition, and we've always been driven to control and harness our emotions and the emotions of others. First breakthrough was complex language, then art,... now we have Zoloft and porn on DVD... truly we've come a long way.

The only 4 words you need to know this election...

We go play hoop.

Brilliant, but I think you'd be amazed at how nice the new Volvos are.

Of course, when dotdude says he has a Volvo, he means he has just the logo from the grill that he found next to his bridge.

Also, when he says that he's an artist, he means that he's an artist for the government. He draws unemployment.

When will I be able to buy Blu-ray products?


If you live in the US or Canada you can already find Blu-ray players from Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, Philips and Pioneer available in stores, as well as a growing selection of Blu-ray movies. We also expect to see Blu-ray players from LG and Sharp, as well as a second-generation Blu-ray player from Samsung introduced in the near future. The first Blu-ray hardware and software should also be available in many European countries now.
