    The Nokia Lumia 900: A good phone at a great price that you probably shouldn't buy

    Wow, what a craptacular article with a misleading headline. I have lost all respect for Ars. If you're going to write about how horrible AT&T is with rolling out updates then have a headline that represents that. Instead you use the Lumia 900 as bait to try and gain some traffic. Well...

    The Nokia Lumia 900 review

    Exactly! Right now the 900 is being crucified for having interior parts that don't live up to its sexy exterior. But for $100 (free if your new to AT&T) it's a great buy. I would love to see this phone compared to the other Android phones available for $100 on contract.

    Windows 8 Start button isn't coming back, but there will be a tutorial

    From what I'm gathering most people that use Windows for work and productivity are the ones that will be mostly affected (for better or worse) by the changes in Windows 8. If you're like me and use Windows just to surf the web, share photos with friends and family and play games then Windows 8...

    Is Windows 8 a true dual OS? The Ars OpenForum battles it out

    Well I have a feeling that you're set on not liking Windows 8. So I'll leave you with this. You can group your GIANT CLUTTER MESS OF OVER 150 ICONS and group them into organized icons. You can then name your groups of icons. And when you go to the Metro start screen you can hit that little...

    Is Windows 8 a true dual OS? The Ars OpenForum battles it out

    Your complaint about being annoyed by Metro is valid and I get it. Some people find it visually disturbing, unpleasant, etc. But you can pin anything you want to the metro start screen. So all those utilities you use can be pinned. Heck you can pin the directory where all your utilities...

    Is Windows 8 a true dual OS? The Ars OpenForum battles it out

    I've been using the Consumer Preview since it came out. Honestly it was very confusing at first. I'm going to assume that Microsoft will put some kind of pop-up tutorial that will tell people about the hot corners cause there is no visual clue that it even exists. But I'm reading the replies...

    Is Windows 8 a mess or a new horizon? The Ars OpenForum weighs in

    I'm not a power user. I'm not a business guy. I'm somewhat of a gaming enthusiast and I built my own PC. So from my point of view Windows 8 is starting to grow on me. The biggest hurdle was getting acquainted with the hot corners and understanding that the Metro screen is your new Start...

    <em>Forza Motorsport 4</em> review: The king is dead, long live the king!

    Any changes in the drifting department? I loved "trying" to drift in Forza 3 but I could never get my car tuned perfectly (for me.) Did they make the game any easier for noobs like myself to look like those awesome drifters from the Forza 3 videos? Heck, are there any Forza 4 videos showing...

    FPS meets tower defense: hands-on with <em>Modern Warfare 3</em>'s survival mode

    Noone is pointing a gun at your head to buy MW3. So go buy Sanctum and play MW2 so you can be honest with yourself. I will be getting both MW3 and BF3. I just havent decided yet if I should upgrade my PC for BF3. The one thing stopping me from going PC is all the damn hackers/cheaters on...

    <em>Fruit Ninja Kinect</em> uses tech well, but thin gameplay hurts

    I downloaded the demo and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Heck I enjoyed it so much I bought it. I think Kinect and XBLA are a perfect match. I much rather pay $10 for a Kinect game than $40 or $50 at retail. I hope it sells well so that more Kinect games can be brought out...

    Samsung sees 300% growth in smartphone market share

    I went from a e71x to a Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7. I loved my e71x but it doesn't even come close to the awesome-ness that is the Focus. That said I am excited to see Nokia's WP7 devices. They should be out by the end of this year. But if you can't wait I highly recommend the Samsung Focus.

    id Software's John Carmack sticks up for <em>Call of Duty</em>

    You may see a lack of inovation but to the people playing said game it doesn't matter because they are having a good time. Heck, it might be their first game ever so to them it's inovating. And not everyone gives a rats ass about Activision's plan to rule the world. Maybe the people playing...

    I think it looks great. I love the metro UI in Windows Phone 7 and I'm excited to use it on my desktop PC. Can't wait!
