I thought the shot of the dude actually playing it was dumb and pointless, but I lol'd for the first part when Stark just suddenly points and goes "That man is playing Galaga!"

Pretty sure it's just a dumb joke, nothing more to it.

That's how I used to feel about McCain before he bailed on his torture stance for the election.

I don't even know what all you crazy foreigners are babbling about. It's well known Santa lives at the north pole.

It's sitting on my DVR at home, but I won't be back there until late tonight, so I won't have a chance to watch it until tomorrow unless a copy goes online.

I once sent a girl a facebook message saying, "I see you're looking for random play. I'm also looking for random play. Maybe we should get together sometime and randomly play." which, much to my surprise, actually worked.

I know it's not just for mobiles, but in the current environment that's basically what it amounts to. Phones, tablets, game handhelds, etc.

I missed it for my sister's college graduation. Now she and my wife and mom and other sister are all shopping and the episode isn't online yet. (well except for a crappy 360p version, but I'm not that desperate yet).

I did not know about that.

Windows 8 on ARM-based devices. When was the last time you saw a desktop running on ARM?

Mythical homes of Santa? Last I checked the North pole didn't have a thriving tourist industry.

iOS doesn't have a majority of computer sales though. That's the whole point. Windows is a monopoly. Windows isn't anywhere close to a monopoly in the mobile market, Apple has a much stronger position there, and this whole issue is about the mobile market.

Self portrait?

Well if you actually read the article, MS isn't straight-up banning Mozilla. They're allowed to make a browser, MS just won't give them access to all the same APIs they use, and it can only run in Metro mode, not classic. Tangentially, I don't understand why MS cares. They don't charge for their browser, their browser doesn't display ads directly... What do they gain from people using IE?

I disagree. I actually agree with what Yant said. I think what he did is more in line with what I said about it's not just the left doing things on the previous page.

Apparently Apple does something similar on iOS and gets away with it in the EU. Just from the way MS's actions are described in the article though it doesn't even seem like that would fly in the US.

This is the best thing ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MTSWjkXBHOs

I have never heard anyone use the word "boinked" in that context. I guess it works just as well as any other word for sex...

That's a photoshop. Dean straight up said that he made it. And yeah, like I said when the first trailers came out, "Fight against the founders" doesn't play well here.

It's not just people on the left, people of all leanings do that when the people they support do stuff like this (assuming they'll even admit it's what's happening). I would guess it's because people feel like the fact that (almost) every politician does it means it's not a reason to choose someone else, because the others aren't any better about it. DISCLAIMER: I'm not defending the defense, just saying it's not only the one group who does it. *Edit* - I guess blanket statements like that carry an implication of saying "and the people I'm not talking about are better about it/don't do it," so people naturally want to refute that attack.
