Mass Deduction (née scrapking)'s discussions

Right, but I was curious as to what you like about WebOS, I've never conversed with a WebOS enthusiast yet. And WP7 has one of the highest user satisfaction rates of any smartphone platform (if you separate WP7 from WinMo, WP7 is higher than all other platforms other than iOS in average user satisfaction level, in at… Read more

Sega did release quality games consistently on the Dreamcast, though. Their initial Xbox games (Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta, etc.) continued that trend. Then things went wrong somehow. I get the impression Wirbelwind is wondering about whether the same would happen to Nintendo. Read more

A shame that Google isn't supporting Android handset manufacturers in legal patent battles, to the point that handset makers are discussing contingency plans for down the road if the problem worsens. Read more

I've got an Optimus 7, and it's awesome. You'll love the Panorama camera mode. :) Read more

Windows Phone seems to be starting to gain traction. Most stat trackers merge Windows Mobile and Windows Phone, which really doesn't make a lot of sense as they're so different and aimed at different markets, but Windows Phone is gaining marketshare every quarter. Read more

Interesting problem cropping up with Android. Google isn't backing the OS up when it comes to patent battles, forcing each manufacturer to do so individually for each patent claim against Androids. HTC now pays $5 for every Android handset it sells to Microsoft, and that's just one example (there are others). Read more

I've always preferred bricks over flips. Why is a flip phone such a big deal for you? Read more

Boating enthusiasts probably think this is a good idea. I spilled soup on a Hiptop back in the day, which was an expensive mistake. And I know of at least one person who managed to drop his phone in a toilet. Read more

You know, I'd wager a reasonable percentage of people reading your comment reacted with "Really? Cool!" Read more

Why WebOS of all things? I recently switched from iOS to Windows Phone 7 and I've been thrilled with it so far. Read more

"[Nintendo] is amplifying its downloadable lineup to put the 3DS on track to have more games on sale through download than in physical stores—a likely first for any dedicated piece of video game hardware, be it handheld or console." Read more

All the articles prices and comparisons are USD prices, but the original Xbox's European experience is closer in line to the 3DS: the original Xbox was released at too high a price in Europe, and dropped so quickly and significantly that Microsoft felt compelled to compensate early adopters with "free" games.

For those who want to play the (similarly awesome) original game in this series, check out "PLATFORMANCE : Castle Pain". Read more

You can create a Canadian (or whatever) gamertag and buy them that way, I'm told. The normal checks against people circumventing the region locks aren't in place for indie games. Read more

I'm straight too, but I had a bit of a man-crush on Charles Mesure when I was watching "V". Not sure why.

It didn't seem like an assumption to me, just a common/popular example. Read more

Keep in mind that several spartans on Noble team were Spartan IIIs, not the (generally superior) Spartan IIs that the Master Chief was one of. Read more

This is the true meaning of what it means to be a ninja.

Interesting. And yes, they were the Joyride figures I collected while I worked at EB. Once the staff discount stopped (when I moved to the bicycle industry), so too did Halo figure collecting. :) Read more

My (Windows Phone 7) cell phone does too. Read more
