   Awesome; will download as soon as last.fm supports it. In my (albeit limited) search for a music player on OS X, iTunes is the best last.fm supported music player available, which is unfortunate because iTunes blows.

   For me, it seems ridiculous to pay for a subscription music service that has a paltry catalog with less than half of the albums I want to listen to. That, and I can't be guaranteed of the quality of the file, if it's transcoded, etc. I have

    A 20 hour+ single player campaign, and a multiplayer experience so good that it's played at stakes of tens of thousands of dollars is "1/3 of a game"? Any time a sequel is released on the same engine, it's just "part of the other game"? Eve

    This is what makes a game like Starcraft 2 so great. Every player, regardless of time spent in the game, starts out with a level playing field. There is no incentive to play the next game except to get better. So how does Blizzard extract m

    Wow, I don't think I've seen this presentation of a joke in at least 10 years. Not exactly sure it's worth bringing back.
