Ben discovers kids have imagination. Must be a slow news day to write up an entire article on this topic.

Anyone can submit bogus info... nothing can possiblie go wrong... no, wait... possibly.

I hope Ridley Scott also brings back the CLI interface to the ship's computer. Man, who would have guessed that after iPhones and touch interfaces the human race would go back to good ol' CLIs for their computing needs.

Legolas, what do your elf eyes see? Legolas - "Big frickin' pixels!"

Perhaps the biggest problem with Ars articles on subjects like this one is that the author believes that these things happen by accident, or were oversights, or that they were caused by ignorance.

Yeah, I started having flashbacks of grenade-jumping as soon as I saw an area of the map I couldn't reach. I was like "hey, this is where you had to grenade-jump." Then my mind went blank on how to actually do it.

It's a trap. Do not let DrPizza's non sequitur pass. He's saying modern CPUs have little value because PC software don't use their full performance. Why is he even talking about software (2006 software to boot) if the conversation is about hardware? I think he's trying to derail this thread...

I don't know why Ars lowers itself with reposts of these garbage Wired articles. I'm probably going to get a moderator warning for this but what the fuck...

Too bad Tetris was a game of chance as well as skill. You can play perfectly and still lose because you're not getting the correct pieces. Perhaps I would have been obsessed with it too if it were a pure skill game. Alas, that is not the case.

And by current we mean 5 year old technology. Still... it's impressive.

Steve wins from beyond the grave! Spoooookeeyyyy!

I'm not saying that they're fads. I'm saying that there's no shortage of people with bad taste. There are hundreds of games that are better than Halo that never reached such popularity because they: a) came out on a platform with no shortage of good games, or b) came out on a platform with a...

They probably just don't know better. It's like people using Windows and never having used a Mac. Or people liking the taste of liver. Remember that Halo came out at a time where xbox games were atrocious pieces of shit, and Halo was slightly better than shit so it garnered a lot of attention...

But you gotta admit that there's a lot of truth there. You can hate something for very valid reasons. I think there would be more value in having an "Art of Building Worlds (of Warcraft)". I think that game, as mediocre as *it* has become lately, has much richer world, race, character history.

Wow, people must doing 'do a barrel roll' searches like crazy. I hadn't even typed anything beyond 'do a b' and the page was already spinning on the Google suggestion.

This will continue to happen for as long as the cloud-computing craze lasts. I'm hoping one day people will wake up and realize that it might be better for some of this stuff to use local resources. I console myself knowing that it's just part of a cycle. One must start wondering what the point...

Yeah but squeeze anything really hard and it'll turn to iron, then carbon, then diamond.

I don't care what Apple does as long as it's converging to a computer that uses Siri as primary input and flatscreen displays throughout my house as outputs. If I can start using the computer as I'm removing my shoes, I'll be happy. If Apple thinks holding an iPad is the future of home...

How about you elaborate on this feature parity instead of being cryptic to the readers.
