You are wrong. Apple poured millions to advertising yes, as they poured millions to design and programming. I've had an iriver, and it doesnt even compare to the ipod. Tell me, have you ever even owned one? My sisters Creative sucks, the touchpad on those is far too sensitive and the interface is clumsy. And, you can use an ipod without itunes. you personally dont like ipods, fine. but you cant really argue that it's not a top notch mp3player. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is definately a top notch mp3 player, but it is doesn't have a huge lead over the competition that it once had. Can't say that I've ever owned an iPod as they are a touch too expensive for me to justify spending that kind of money on an mp3 player. Did get to spend a week with one a couple months back after a friend accidentally left his at my place before he went on a trip to Turkey. " I like the touch wheel and I think it works really well. It's way up there on the ease of use list. Which iRiver did you own anyway? Haven't spent much time with the creative. Took a look at them before I made my purchase. Seemed to have pretty darn good sound quality and I agree that the touchpad is a little too sensitive, but not that much and I didn't have any problems with the interface. I do agree with Kaftan though on the reason why iPods have been so successful. Apple created an image with their product and spent millions to get this image ingrained into the public. In the beginning their success was no doubt due to the design of the iPod itself, but now a lot of it is image.

Lists of lists right?

I used to be negative about IPods like you are... until I've got one <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly. They just are the best, maybe not the cheapest but hey, poor people suck anyway. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey! :angry:

Weirdo. " I ended up not getting the iPod and instead went for my iRiver because of the price difference. $300 for a 4GB Nano, or $200 (employee discount!) for a 6GB iRiver H10. Very few complaints in the year that I've had it, except I can't see anything on the screen when outside because of my glasses, but that's not the fault of the player really.

I've only got about 29 hours of music and I haven't moved it all over onto my mp3 player yet. If I moved it all over that would use up about half of the space on it.

You mean you'd rather play play Detroit than Dallas in the first round?

Go Washington! Clinch that playoff spot for Montreal!

Tell him you want to take 20 on every search check and have all your teammates "aid another" "

Don't count yourself out yet! Carolina just tied it. If the Bolts don't get two points, they can still fall out of it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> At least I can take solace in Tampa having scored an overtime winner. "

No, it's because Aubin has stolen the game for them. Belfour would have let in 8 goals by now.

Toronto is beating Ottawa 5-0 right now.

Win every draw, skate against five other players and still manage to score 54 goals, all unassisted. Wow. Does he even have time to stand in goal between his own goal scoring? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He doesn't need to stand in goal. The other team never get's the puck anyway so what would be the point?

Thanks Fenghuang! You just totally cheered me up with that little story. Good work!

So then Kippersof deserves the MVP award because without him the Flames would be dead last right?

Shiny orange green card?

Stajan isn't the only one who scored! But he score again in overtime.

What's so bad about that? They've already done two versions set in Medieval Europe and they are doing something a little different this time instead of making the exact same game.

Back at uni I knew a guy who owned all on Goldenye64, the thing is he actually played better while high. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Never met anyone who was better at video games while high, but I do know this one Italian guy who is 5 times better at golf when he's drunk as when he's sober. Or maybe it was just to promise of more beer if he played better, I'm not sure.

Finally! Montreal pulls back within one on a shot by Souray!

You can always do a protest vote for Nader. As for Canada, i remember looking at it on the other side of the lake from Detroit. The grass is literally greener. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, you were in Detroit remember... Then again, you would have been looking at Windsor.

I shall re-assemble the original members of Westwood to finish the C&C series. The music composer could be none other than Frank Klepacki

I've recently started playing through the original C&C. My god the graphics are bad, but I can't stop playing. For the Brotherhood! Also, my interest in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is waning. I just finished level 19 by charging the boss with Ephraim and whacking him with a well placed critical using the special fire lance that gives +5 to strength. I think that was the 8th time I restarted that mission. All the other times one of my character died do to A) Some stupid mistake on my part or B) An enemy archer get's a lucky shot in on one of my two Wyvern characters. (By lucky, I'm talking about have a 3% chance to hit and making it) The Snipers can still one-shot my Wyvern Knight. My Wyvern Lord on the other hand is almost impervious to damage. He's got like a 38 defence stat. :D

Oops, it looks like you failed your Decipher Script check. You accidentally typed in the wrong destination and now your comrade is floating outside the sphere. "

Woah, woah, woah. Needlessly? Is there such a thing when it comes to the early playoff elimination? " And on that note: Toronto sucks!

Awesome article on Kobolds isn't it? I picked up Races of the Dragon a little while back so I'd have more info for my Kobold sorceror. It's come in handy a couple times when I needed to explain certain things to others in the group.
