Apple released an iPhone, you say? well, sure, it's neat and all, but way more than i need.
*time passes*
iPhone is the new hottest gaming platform, you say? well, that's all well and good, but it's still too much money for maybe one good game out of twenty. thanks though!
*time passes*
a Rogue port on the iPhone, you say?
*pauses* *foams at mouth* *weeps uncontrollably*
please stop, homebrew community. i can't afford any more potential Nethack-bearing gadgets. it's half the reason i bought a DS.
It's a good idea, maybe if you have a really powerful system or if this program were less demanding then it'd be more useful. This sort of thing would eliminate the excuse for people who refuse to look up the answers to their questions on their own, not that there was one in the first place...
As others have said, browsers have been built into many other MMOs (I know of EVE and EQ2 off the top of my head) long before this, but somehow this is news. Yet another stupid ripoff product ([kotaku.com]) for the WoW asses (oops, did I forget the "m"?).
Yeah getting 2 descent LCD can be expensive, but I was a bit frugal and got a good old used CRT for 50. Still cost some money but definitely worth it for increased productivity for both work and play.
"It goes without saying this is a PC application, not Mac, because, like, who games on a Mac anyway."
That isn't nice! I game on a mac... Macs are awesome and I know I will get flamed for it, but I think they are better than Windows PCs. They are about the same in price for the same features (unless of course you build your own) and can run Windows as well. As well, OS X is simply better. My mac is old and I can't afford to get a new one (or even build my own computer) but it still runs some of the best computer games ever just fine. I use my console for many of my games anyway, and it just isn't fair to assume mac users don't game.
This program seems like a cool concept, but I wonder what limitations it has, and if it has all the features of a modern browser. Also, how do you open it? Is it hotkey enabled? Seems like it would take away lots of processing power as well, probably not a good program to use in Crysis :P The biggest issue I could see would be compatibility, and if it will cause conflicts with some games. It would be really cool to see this become integrated with something like xfire as well.

Face it, our heyday came in the Gil Amelio years. Man, I could go for some Abuse right now.

Still cool, but no original feat.
