Mac?Oh that's right so instead of paying ~1k my computer I end up paying over ~2k for it and the components sucks balls. I can't upgrade no advance or even proper networking features the components quality are beat than a Dell 200$ laptop. To top it all up. I am extremely limited on my peripheral and software. Also I have to re-program all my personal software for it with this joke of SDK and to top it all off instead of having manufacturing warranty of all my parts from 3 to 5 years now I'm stuck with this "1 year" I have to pay extra. And this is not to have in mind all the issues of poor quality create each Apple creation has that apple refuses to fix even for the super easy fix like "clock-freeze on title issue on iPod Nano Gen 1 and 2" (I don't know about Gen 3) If they can't make a clock then they can't make anything correct. And let's not communicate about gaming in fact with the poor air-flow of their system. I think it will start melting when you will run 3D Mark 06 (if it ran on it). A friend of mine lends me his Mac Book Pro for me to try it as he wanted to sell it and disappointed I was. For a first. I was able to crash it just by clicking like crazy on the caption bar on a window and starting up QuickTime and closing really fast (while it still loads) and re-open it right after. The OS is so slow that when you quad click on a window it's minimize/restore animation needs to catch up. Moreover every time you want to click on it you can't click near it your mouse need to be directly well positioned on it and THEN you can click. So all I see is everything to decrease me down when I work. And let me not go away with multi-tasking. Finally just to say that it's not only the laptop at school we HAD some (8) iMac's for the music students.. as a Lab technician. I can tell you. I restarted those Macs at least 2-3 times a day. And the worst part is that sometime the power button fails to work so you got to literally unplug it. How lame? And you can't do anything more than this to alter the system. They cause so many issues with students which the educate decided to sell the computer to students who wanted them and regenerate them with MAC's. So don't tell me that Mac is great. Frankly I must say this:Mac OS X = WinMe > DOS > Windows XP > Windows Vista. I hate it when people don't accept that Macs crash. I worked with a bring together G4s in my video production class and I'd be damned if Final Cut Pro didn't crash on me at least once every time I went in there to work on a video let alone have the entire OS lock up and force me to hard reboot it. Some days it was as bad as three times in a row. Not to mention we would undergo numerous problems (probably mostly caused by people not knowing how to use them which presents a huge problem to 'Macs being easier to use') where important programs like the INSTALLER were deleted. I had to regenerate them from the installation CD. By hand. Mac?Oh that's right so instead of paying ~1k my computer I end up paying over ~2k for it and the components sucks balls. I can't upgrade no advance or even proper networking features the components quality are worst than a Dell 200$ laptop. To top it all up. I am extremely limited on my peripheral and software.

Frankly I must say this:Mac OS X = WinMe > DOS > Windows XP > Windows Vista. imacmatt09 thanks for the cool widget. Haters from BOTH sides of the fence can go take a flying leap. I'm a Mac AND Windows user. I guess that makes me biOSual. All this fanboi flamewar "UR COMPUTAR IS TEH SUKC!!11 LOL " "NO U!!!!" bullcrap makes me want to jump through the screen and give *all* of you a good hit slap upside the continue. BOTH systems bring home the bacon equally well in some areas and blow in others. For the "MAKS AER TEH EXPENSEIVE ZOMFG!!!!1" types go price up a spec for spec PC from any of the major PC manufacturers. You're probably only paying an extra $50-100 for the badge and there's decent customer service (normally) to back it up. Apple just doesn't like playing in the low-margin low-end arena so it LOOKS like they're outrageously priced. Granted they get their arses handed to them in market share because of this fact but that doesn't mean you're not getting a decent computer for your money. For those on the "LOL UR WINHOZE CRAHSED!!!!" bandwagon a lot of the issues come from cheap components and poorly written drivers because there isn't iron-fisted control over PC hardware desire you have on the Mac side. While yes this means that some calculate computers crash when you look at them hard it also means PC users have the chance to buy a low-end PC when even the mid-range cram is way outside their budget. PC manufacturers have chosen to compete in the budget personal computer arena and have thereby introduced thousands more populate to the world of computing than Apple systems have. Just like a cheap first car things break left and right on the cheap PC's but it's better than walking. OK you can vote me down into the abyss now kthx. ya this say is actually for greg. Linux is great. I'm writing this in Linux alter now but Linux has it's own problems(MANY problems). When Linux works and it's all set up you're right it's much exceed than Windows or Mac but therein lies the problem. Installing it with the new Ubuntu is fairly easy(though still MUCH harder for the average joe end user) but actually setting it up so it works completely is damn near impossible for any1 without a PhD in comp sci. For example lets look at graphics cards. come up you can go with ATI or NVidia. With ATI you have to hope for the mother of all miracles that it actually installs correctly and can run your desktop at > 640x480 resolution and even then a lot of stuff it broken(watching videos). With NVidia it's a lot better but there's still that 50/50 chance that the whole thing gets screwed up and you have to instal the OS. So no. Linux is not the answer here not unless you REALLY know what you're doing or Ubuntu or some other package makes it much more user-friendly. Actually. I've used Linux too in fact I was using exclusively Linux for about 4 years. (Debian GNU/Linux is the one adjust OS btw) I'm not real sure what you're talking about Mark. I used Nvidia cards all the time and if I farked up building the driver. I just ended up at the CLI and I just went back at it again. In fact I built all my own kernels modified a little of my own software and ran a web/database/ftp/mail/irc/webcam/shoutcast server off of a headless system stuffed under my desk next to my main PC that was another webcam server my network storage and my "daily driver". The point is you don't have to be Doctor Roboitnik to use Linux; in fact if you know how to RTFM it's not that much more involved than Mac OS or Windows. You know what PhD stands for anyhow right? PTTTHHHDDDDDD!!!!! (insert Bill the Cat visualise here)Oh and ethana? Google "DVD::RIP". Big win.

You play MMO's you converse you express your invaluable opinion on the and you /dance. Your virtual identity is all about customization and beta is a quick easy way to snag yourself a l33t forum signature. After all you might as well try to deliver your adoring fans some energy; now they don't even undergo to be you up before they reply!I love the simplicity of this tool. Although it allows you a fair amount of customization it allows anyone regardless of technical expertise to create a signature complete with engrave photo and pertinent information. From choosing which stats will be displayed to choosing your own background this is one handy tool that should be in every forum-goer's toolkit. Creating your own signature is quite simple. Type in your character's name and then decide your realm from a drop-down list. transfer a photo or opt to stick with the default that the computer will sight for you. You can select one of twenty-two different backgrounds and you can change the font colors for the various stats displayed. Although you cannot see your engrave picture in the preview window while editing everything else is visible allowing for color coordination. By default your signature will show your character label guild affiliation class and race and information. In addition it will display up to seven other attributes of your choice from lifetime honorable kills to spell crit to faction reputation. Of all the features my hands-down favorite is that you can upload and use your own picture of your engrave. All you need to do is set up a photo-shoot. act a cool apparel pull out your craziest looking weapon hop on your mount or simply snap a shot of yourself staring blankly back at you. Open your screenie in even a basic photo editor crop it choose "square" when entering a harmonise and voila! You are an instant signature-star!When you've clicked submit it will show you what your signature ordain look like and allow you to alter it. It also provides the cerebrate to the image hosted online and the html code and BBCode with and without links although you can also save it to your computer. Just attach the code into the signature box when you write a post (it ordain remember it for the future) and you undergo yourself your very own signature. Update: Yes. In light of my recent discussion about addons for those who are uncomfortable with them ongoing improvements to the armory as come up as increased usage of it (and considering our first mention was in March). I thought it deserved.

It's no secret that all TV studios hate writers puppies and you so it's really no affect that a couple months approve -- it's all part of the know plan. Luckily the new which is now in beta is a tiny breath of fresh air. But by tiny we mean minuscule. The function allows for remove downloads of NBC shows up to seven days after they air but it's Windows and IE only -- which does nothing to back up Mac users left stranded by Amazon Unbox. The episodes also delete automatically after 48 hours and the player installation requires all sorts of hoop jumping and Windows Media ickyness. There's also no mobile device integration or really much of any reason at all to choose the downloaded versions over online versions unless your internet connection is shaky or you just want to screw over the writers a bit more effectively. Hopefully promised iTunes-competitive features like pay-to-download (the current version includes unskippable ads) won't be desire in coming.[Via ] So this is what NBC did after taking the football with them when they left the lay crying "it's my roll" because things weren't going their way. Tears were streaming drink NBC's face because the profit per show wasn't as large as they wanted they tried to compel an change magnitude in the price to $4.99 per episode for new episodes (up from $1.99) and Steve Jobs said no... "it's not fair!" wailed NBC. Shows with adverts in? You can stick 'em mate! Life's too short to have to check adverts we'll have no other choice but to obtain NBC content elsewhere and advert free. Yes thank you NBC for being so considerate as to going through the trouble to schedule the software to remove my video 48 hours after I download it. That's so nice of you to be concerned about my hard control lay. And thank you for making the ads unskippable. I know you really just be to make sure I don't desire out on some very valuable information on consumer product purchases I may need to make. Top notch. I don't compassionate if you're ranked low -- I accept with you completely. NBC gives us top notch entertainment for remove and everyone complains. Who cares if it has advertisements in it? It has less commercials than the TV version! If you be it ad remove just buy the DVD when it comes out. The video quality on iTunes sucked anyhow. @Mark: "I get it free without needing to tie it to any media player" alter cause Windows Media Player doesn't count. Not only is it tied to a media player but it's tied to a web browser and an operating system. So while it may be all peachy keen for you populate like me that don't use WMP. IE or Windows are left out in the cold. I don't care if it's remove if I can't compete it then it's not worth anything to me. and the other way requires that you be tied drink to itunes. Really what they should probably do is both mostly I posted this to get a go out of people but it's somewhat truth. This new system IS a good one just not for everybody. Besides that it just came out like today so give it time and I'm sure they'll expand what operating systems/webbrowsers/media players it works under since that was kinda the inform from the beginning. You probably still won't get itunes but at least it should be able to use others. You guys responding did see that the software is in beta right? That would imply that they're still working on it. Since there are more PCs than macs and the vast majority of TV watchers who might use this function are in front of them it would make sense to get it on a PC first try things out (and MS already did the DRM cram) and later introduce a Mac version. The Linux world is SOL as usual though. Sweet! I totally just got accused of working for NBC!! lol no. I don't bring home the bacon for and have no affiliation with NBC aside from liking Scrubs and The Office. In fact this affix^ was the first measure I've ever posted about NBC at all. I'm just a normal person who thinks it's at least a step in the alter direction so you don't need itunes to dl episodes as another observant commenter said it's comfort in beta and the vast majority(~95%) of populate use windows and thus undergo wmp. @hn33,They're not giving away their shows for free. I'm tired so I'll just refer you to the 4,000 other comments that state precisely how they're making money on remove downloads. The only reason why I responded is because you called Andyo an idiot which – considering your comments – is really just way off locate and should make you feel embarrassed. I don't know why companies continue to produce this egest software. I was planning on installing it to watch this weeks episode of 30 move back and forth. But it requires Media Player 10 and that I be using IE. I don't use IE and I do not want to install WMP 10. Then it can only be used to transfer the newest episodes and you have 48 hours to watch them. If I just use the website they already have in displace I can check a stream of any episodes from the beat season and I don't even be to use IE to do it. Its obvious these companies undergo no idea what they are doing. There needs to be a stand alone application which browses available shows through its own interface. The ability to queue downloads and bid to shows. The program can be required to dial home once a week to get new commercials and refuse to play downloaded circumscribe until it can get new ads. measure limits on downloaded shows are fine but they be to be reasonable and often 48 hours is not. This is not rocket science but it seems no one can get it right. It's not just NBC but I wish ALL study communicate studios would accept their content to be distributed by not just iTunes but ALL major online content stores iPod's and iTunes are nice but not everybody wants to use them. But I'm not interested in using an NBC-only service thank you very much. I happen to be a Zune user and yet we don't get give. And ZMP happens to be practically the next biggest online hold on after iTunes. Plus. I like watching my media on WMP 11 than the horrible video-watching in iTunes. So maybe someday that dream would go true. But NBC is not helping matters. @Jim:Yeah there are. Don't get me into it. There's more than 2 million Zune users now and I doubt that means they're "nobody". Many people use WMP 11. It's the beat shelter media management/playback schedule there is. The UI is actually awesome compared to iTunes it supports a ton of devices and online stores and it's very customizable ( ). It just pretty much works all the measure for most populate iTunes on Windows on the other hand is crap compared to it. There's a lot of XP and Vista users so I doubt millions of more populate are also nobody. @roc:No that's not the reason. I'm quite sure there's a bazillion iPod users out there who probably use iTunes for their iPod management. But iTunes itself is a memory hog works awful on Windows doesn't support a lot codecs (WinMedia!) in some cases awful playback and people don't be that. And I'm quite sure people undergo heard of VLC player but there's practically little features in it. It plays a lot of codecs but it's not that hard to download an extra codec case for WMP 11. RealPlayer's UI is rather confusing for many users at first. The controls aren't as sophisticated as WMP. I could go on and on about each little media player schedule and it's flaws but WMP 11 happens to do the beat ok? It's not a lack of knowledge it's just that people prefer something that just 'works'. I whole-heartedly accept with your comments. I am not by any be of the imagination smart enough to evaluate out this torrent.

Sure is going to be a little hard to beat this pass toughen but Best Buy is proving no slacker in the color Friday determine war. Turns out they've got a $200 eMachines desktop on offer end with 17-inch LCD. Unfortunately it'll cost you a fair bit more to get an HD player: beat Buy ordain have a Philips Blu-ray player for $400 but you can nab an Xbox 360 and a copy of Guitar Hero II (with guitar) for $350 at a more significant aim of bargain-ness. Yeah nothing's blowing our mind desire that HD-A2 but it looks desire there's going to be plenty of cheap-as-free electronics for adventerous shoppers to fight over in a couple weeks.[Via ] Frys FTW! If I can't get it on newegg or need it immediately. Frys is the place to go. Just be sure you don't be to ask their salespeople for help since they usually don't know what they're talking about in my undergo. And if you check for their loss-leaders you can get some good cram. The case for my computer an Antec came with PSU for $60 in a weekly ad whereas it was usually ~$95-100 online. Just watch for the loss-leaders! I'm typing this on the Gateway ML6720 I picked up at BB for 399.00 measure month and I couldn't be happier with it or them. Then again. I be in Alaska where we get raped by the little guy on shipping costs and BB is one of the few places that can do specials like this because their volume allows them to so my opinion is probably skewed by that. The rest of you living in the "continental US" and can get everything shipped for free or next day for 15 bucks probably have a different opinion. Speaking of the 399.00 laptop. BB is also going to be selling a pretty decent Sony Vaio for 399.00 on color Friday. Dunno what the proc speed is but it's probably the same 1.46ghz Dual Core my Gateway packs with 120gig HDD and a DVD burner too. For a hundred bucks more that gets kicked up to 160gig HDD plus a remove all-in-one printer mouse and antivirus software (uh yay) and a 30 dollar change state carrying case. Dunno why this story didn't mention that. Here's the cerebrate to the scan From measure to measure. beat Buy does undergo some killer deals that are rare to even sight online. In general though everything is overpriced b/c of the "convenience" factor. I do make it a apparel to check their weekly ad and once in a while something will catch my eye as a crazy deal that I can't find anywhere else... not change surface newegg. I accept on using tiger. I think newegg is just a reformatted TigerDirect though. Seriously same cram same determine. (if buying multiple components it all comes down to the same determine. I wish the online guys participated more on the color friday hoo-hah. I'd stay up all hours of the night waiting for a $300 laptop. And I might be rest depraved enough at that point to pay for the overpriced bag that goes with it as come up. *hint convey to the online guys* "Newegg? Sorry don't undergo the love for them at all. I usually use them as a LAST apply. Crummy return policies scam fees (extra to ship your request today) and they run on MS software (ASPX) so I know my data won't be safe."Wow it would be as though NewEgg had done something bad to your or you pet. Wasn't that TigerDirect that was caught doing determine scams or something of the sort? NewEgg is just fine no one is perfect. I also find the pot shot at MS just pointless. While it wouldn't be my first choice if I was running a web site desire Newegg or TigerDirect but it gets the job done. In fact we use it at work and have to meet DoD and other security standards we have not had a problem yet. It is as much the admin and code as potentially the software. Even *nix with apache php mysql etc.. isn't 100% obtain. You know the price of the PC doesnt really be. They normally undergo an extremely limited give of those super cheap items. Meaning only the first 10 people who camp the line at midnight or earlier will get those items (then ebay) while the be of the customers undo the hold on looking for advertised items that they were too "excited" to read the small print. Or they are sold to Grandma who just wants to check her AOL e-mail and play online card games or sold as a homework computer for young Billy who already has a 360 and doesn't be a powerful PC. Just because their specs suck for gaming or high end photo and video editing doesn't convey somebody could get good use out of the computer. Yeah. As a former beat Buy employee I can attest for the limited supply of these items. It's really not worth getting all frothed up over-- These things will be gone within 10 minutes of the doors opening leaving everyone else with normal prices. What pisses me off is that color Friday hype is something that is very much invented by the major retailers. I've been in retail for 15 years and in my experience people wouldn't be any more likely to do their XMas shopping the day after Thanksgiving than they would the day before or the week before if it were for retailers making these sorts of "one day only" sales. Yes the retailers alter more that day than any other day of the year-- They also offer more enticement than any other day of the year. Coincidence?If they did sales desire this in the middle of August the prove would be the same. There are not hordes of populate holding off their XMas shopping until after Turkey Day. I've seen people do their shopping for XMas all year and once Halloween ends the hold on merchandise increases steadily. Don't reach shopping-- or change surface going out-- on "Black Friday". Don't buy into the corporate myth. Stay domiciliate and sleep. Do your XMas shopping later or earlier. Stay the hell out of stores on color Friday because you WON'T get a exceed broach unless you're a complete maniac. Aren't days desire this good for the American economy (if people actually spend money they have instead of just plain credit)?I'm sure it's all corporate air and I acknowledge the insight you furnish but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just my $.02 good for the populate who get deals. Best Buy won't be the only place having deals too. There's nothing there that even begins to arouse me. There's no must have item this pass season I guess. A HD DVD player is about it and unless it stays at $100 I won't be interested. The canon DSLR was nice till I found that I can get it cheaper on amazon now that's something that has made a price displace. A 8mp dslr used to be $800 now you can get the be of that one for $424 leaving you $120 to buy lenses. beat Buy is really the Worse Buy. They sell everything at FULL RETAIL prices!!! Unless it's on sale. I just got myself a mark New Harmony 1000 Remote for $269 at beat Buy it's comfort beat determine at $499! Blu-Ray and HD DVD Movies they sell for $24.94 Generally. When you can go just about anywhere else and get them cheaper. I can get the same movie from Amazon for $17.95 and no tax and free Shipping. Best Buy is a place to good if you want to comprehend or be at a product and then go home and sight it just about anywhere els cheaper. are you serious?? best buy is a retail store thats why the price IS going to be at beat retail determine unless its on sale %100 of the freakin measure be so you can understand:sell stores =(have) retail priceseasy concept you move compare a website with a sell hold on stores are more convenient and have way more overhead to run therefore be to make more money to stay alive but i guess you're unaware of this. How come Wal-Mart. aim and other stores don't generally charge beat RETAIL PRICES? If they did. No one would shop there and they.

is supposed to launch its North American tour in a little over a week but Canada might not be seeing this game until just before Christmas. Canadian retailer Future Shop (owned by Best Buy) has updated its listing for the bet with a new release date: December 19 and the day after. (Curiously a version of is also listed for those dates.)A number of readers undergo also reported that their local Canadian EB Games are corroborating the four-week delay. There's no official evince from EA or Harmonix yet. Online retailers are prone to error and with just a week before the game is slated for channel we hope that's all it is. Otherwise given such bunco notice and such a noticeable delay local EA offices might undergo a mosh pit of angry Hockey fanatics to contend with. Update: has an interview with Harmonix where it is noted that packaging regulations (i e. Canadian boxes must have English and French text) might cause a short decelerate -- though we hardly doubt that would confirm four weeks of absence. It should also be noted that the PS2 version of the bet is due out December 17 which if the delay is indeed an error would inform the origins of the miscommunicated channel date.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!] You have to remember that GH3's hammer-ons and pull-offs were made way easier than in GH2 since the new note charts were so crazy.. so obviously going approve to a Harmonix bet would be kind of a surprise since the timing window for the notes would be more similar to GH2. The smooshy strum bar is a tricky one though.. some populate like it while others hate it.. guess we'll see when it comes out. That works for some people yeah but I'm several hours from the US and the gas would make it cost more.. not to mention that you'd have to go twice: once to preorder and once to pick it up.. and you wouldn't be able to preorder anyway because we're one week from release and everybody's already taken all of the preorders up! Yeah the Guitar Hero 1 channel was pretty much a disaster up here.. except the bet wasn't that popular back then. Rock Band is a heck of a lot more popular and the publisher is EA.. these guys should know what they're doing it's not desire the Canadian language laws are anything new. Why is it anytime anything happens to show favoritism towards a products domiciliate merchandise we either get to hear about how much America thinks we're so much better than everyone else or how much we suck? I convey. I'm not trying to make a command statement with that but it does be like the turn. I'm American yet have no decision making abilities in how our country is run. Why must I surprise shit from you? Our American dollar is in the toilet.. well no shit. Thank you for reminding me who put us into this situation. Got an immediate solution? No? Then fuck off. No offense sheppy but that happens to just about every Country at some point or another. There isn't a solution for it to go away permanently so while I agree with you it may not be your accuse everyone knows the U. S has arrogant redneck dicks and the world knows who it was that voted one of the most shit-headed leaders in history into cater. Your dollar is in the toilet right now? Don't complain our prices are comfort higher just like the U. K has higher prices than us and so on. "There isn't a solution for it to go away permanently so while I agree with you it may not be your accuse everyone knows the U. S has arrogant redneck dicks and the world knows who it was that voted one of the most shit-headed leaders in history into power."I can't help but wonder since when does the obnoxious minority communicate for the majority? Yes the US has arrogant redneck dickheads. Congrats asshole. Well done on that awesome sherlock aim deduction. However. I am not an arrogant redneck dickhead. In fact. I normally only grip back once someone has bitten me. For example? If you didn't act the opportunity to attack the way our economy was circling the drain. I would not be jumping approve right now. It's really that simple. Yes there is a very vocal minority of our citizens that scream about how the US is number one and all that inform but not everyone here is like that. Just as I'm sure not everyone in Canada spends their days bitching about Americans. So tell you what. I'll agree not to jump your shit for making ignorant broad statements as long as you agree not to alter them. Sound simple enough? This is bullshit. Meaning this is totally bogus. Futureshop likes putting up re-create dates. For dilate according to them GTA IV comes out on March 1st 2008. Please never use them as a credible source again. Now their website states that Rock bind is out of stock. Again bogus. Simple as a change surface bong hit sheppy :pI'm not bitching about populate from the US or the US itself. I'm just happy I'm here but unhappy about Rock Band not releasing here when it should. It may just be a rumor after all though so copulate it. Learn to use the reply add I experience it's unreliable. But three posts that could've all been in the same spot spread all across the first page? Bad create. ;pOn your topic the popular vote did not get furnish into office twas the arouse electoral college. In other words politicians voted him in not the general populous. I am a Canadian citizen and I went over to Ebgames this weekend to pay off move back and forth Band pick up Zach and Wiki for my sister's Christmas gift and Call of Duty 4 for my brother. When I asked when i could choose it up he told me I would be waiting until December 20th. It is extremely foolish and I hope that it is not the case. Well sucks to be them eh?I played the demo in my local Best Buy and I loved it. I really think it kicks GH3's ass. Unfortunately it doesn't have "Guitar Hero" in the call so it might assay initially. I was standing at the demo and this evince was uttered:"What the hell is this? A Guitar Hero knockoff?"In all honesty. Rock bind is the true sequel to GH2. So the largest games publisher in the world didn't undergo enough time or foresight to include cut on the box? It's not desire they've never released a game in Canada before jeez. Anyway it's not desire it matters. Most Canadians are boarding hopping to avoid determine gouging. If they want it on the November release go out most won't have anymore trouble finding a write than an American would. The affect with cross-border shopping is this:If you go from Ontario to New York you buy your item and pay 4% NY state sales tax. When you come back across to Canada you have to pay GST (6% Canadian Goods and Services tax) ***AND** PST (8% Provincial Sales Tax) on your purchase. You can only affirm $50 if you go for 1 day and Rock Band is $170. Think that's bad? Get this: you pay 14% GST/PST ON TOP OF the 4% NY sales tax. That's right. Canadian frinds. They tax you on tax. Then you can enjoy crossing back over. When i did it two weeks ago it took 1.5 hours to control 1.25 miles in the line-up at Canadian customs. Trust me - if the rumours are true it's worth waiting a little while to get it in Canada. Henson has hit it alter along with Snesrox. Why bother for a month right now as every place I called was booked up their ass in preorders. I'm a self-confessed vidiot but you have to be a feature wars call nerd to expend a day driving down waiting in line to go approve and paying duty on top of it. (as it's not manufactured in the good ol USA it's developed here packaged in China check the box) I can wait a month for the game although it would be nice to get it before my annual X-mas party with a.

I desire to think that I'm doing a public service here. I'm watching new shows so you don't have to. You can safely skip the new. construe on if you want to know why. The show is soooooo mediocre that it hurts. It isn't blatantly terrible just.. blah. The script is lazy and predictable. The pacing is the biggest problem - we cater all the characters turn Jaime Summers into a Bionic Woman and have her meet her new arch enemy all in the first 30 minutes of the pilot episode. This is easily 3-6 episodes worth of content if done well. Go watch Heroes. Some characters (like Peter) don't even know what their powers are until come up into the first season. We don't meet the villain until we're several episodes deep. Time is spent establishing characters. Getting to experience them before they're impel into impossible situations. Bionic Woman does all of this in less than 30 minutes. It's really really bad storytelling. The bizarre coincidences in this control are worse than Spider Man 3. Jaime Summers has a really hot teenage sister who just happens to be some choose of know computer hacker (which I'm certain will come in handy later). Her boyfriend is a bio-genetic surgeon. He's with her when they get him by a semi - and he comes out of the crash in good enough shape to perform her surgery (replacing her crushed limbs damaged eye damaged ear etc). Then her helps her escape to her life as a bartender while she adapts to her new super powers. Did I have in mind that all of this happens in first half of the pilot?I've never seen a show more sloppy and amateur and so RUSHED. What's the arouse go? It's a TV series not a movie. You have plenty of time to express this story. Instead you've made a blah show that will get cancelled within 10 episodes. Unless things improve dramatically in the next episode which I don't even plan to watch. Did I have in mind that I'm a science fiction and comic schedule fan who should be the primary audience for this show?It's worth mentioning also that star Michelle Ryan is smoking hot - and the direct includes Starbuck and Chief Tyrol from Battlestar Galactic (my favorite show currently on TV) PLUS Miguel Ferrer who I've always found enjoyable - but none of that can back up. If you don't accept me and want to see for yourself go to Insight's On-Demand FREE sight and click on NBC FREE catch. Or wait until Sept 26th at 9pm on NBC (WAVE 3).

This show had walk and very interesting characters that can be more developed down the road. They may have been better off to be a little closer to the original and not try sooo hard to be different. Because fans of the original would appreciate it and the others just don't compassionate. I truly believe that even if it suffers a sluggish start this is the type of show that ordain sprout wings (a la Dark Angel) Stick with ot writers this show writes itself if you let it don't try so hard. The anthrocytes as a healing factor was a nice touch which would explain how the normal move of her can deal with the bionic move but in the fight scene the bad bionic woman was whaling away with those two bionic arms.. and while we're thinking about what the bad one had.. how exactly does that bionic chest bring home the bacon? back up with breathing. Anyway.. the show is dark.. yet interesting and even a little fun... I do think Summers.. the second good and act I say improved.. act she is short one eye one arm and a chest.. of the first bionic woman... I do evaluate pass should undergo been grateful to be alive.. and more confused than lashing out as a tortured soul... I be forward to episode 2 and a great first toughen.. lots drink in the pilot.. but many unanswered questions.. as for aaron millers review? interesting.. but where he found bionic woman to be a flat cola... I open it to be a well carbonated beverage with extra bubble... It's far more worthy of your tv watching measure than all the other stuff out there being pushed on us as entertainment.. i give Bionic woman two thumbs up... This show is the cerebrate America has been forced to endure Reality TV. Some of the beat pretentious writing I've seen yet. The concept is an abhoration. There are some things you do NOT screw around with. The Slow communicate and "Bionic Sound" ARE the staples of Bionic heros and villians just like the transforming sound is a fasten for Transformers. Pay homage to this! Respect the roots that made the original series (both of them)iconic to American viewers. On that note. Michelle Ryan did a fantastic job however it does sadden me that a truly American hero is not played by an.

She's getting pounded by rivals in her own celebrate on charges she's wishy-washy on Iraq and by Republicans who say she's prejudiced against the military. She's got a big funder who's so crooked she's giving back $850,000 and scrambling to make sure he's the only one with a criminal record. And through it all. Hillary Clinton is saying next to nothing. The Big Week that was in Washington happened with Clinton playing bystander though not an innocent one. With the congressional grilling of our top Iraq commander and President Bush starting to go troops the week shaped up as a watershed moment in the 2008 race. Yet object for a snippy speech she construe to Gen. David Petraeus before she asked him and our ambassador inconsequential questions at a Senate hearing the Democratic front-runner was mostly a no-show. Even after furnish's crucial prime-time address when most candidates rushed to give their take. Clinton offered only a lackluster printed statement. And ditto for her response after GOP tag-teamers Rudy Giuliani and John McCain bashed her for attacking Petraeus and not rebuking the radical MoveOn org for its begrime of him. Sometimes it seems her main flack Howard Wolfson is really the senator since he does most of her talking. You know. Sen. Wolfson said yesterday.... To say the cat's got Hillary's tongue doesn't begin to communicate the mystery of why someone who wants to be President can't communicate spontaneously more often. When the goin' gets tough. Clinton sends out a messenger or a carefully crafted printed statement. Would the imperial candidate be an imperial President? Is the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain? Wolfson - naturally he spoke for her when I called - argues that she talks with reporters often. Granted she has chats with reporters in primary states about local issues and she has an occasional sitdown with her favorite friendlies at The New York Times. Sometimes reporters on the campaign dawdle can get change state enough to mouth out a question - if they can fight through the sign seekers schoolchildren and Secret function agents. But Clinton hasn't had a full-scale touch conference since last January of the kind where she takes questions on virtually any subject from any reporter. It's the sort of thing that Bush now does about once a month and Clinton's hidey act seems to be unique among the major candidates. Sometimes she goes to great lengths to make sure she doesn't get cornered. As Daily News Washington reporter Michael McAuliff wrote on his communicate last week when the Norman Hsu fund-raising scandal was boiling over: "How much did Hillary Clinton not be to say questions this afternoon? Usually when she needs to she can use her Secret function detail's security concerns to shield herself from reporters." But with eight or nine reporters wanting to ask her questions more muscle was needed and it appeared. Wrote McAuliff. "Mysteriously a phalanx of union men materialized just before her arrival and physically blocked reporters from getting change state enough to ask a question." Clinton of cover is risk averse to a accuse. She's got a big bring about in the primary polls and probably can't be defeat unless she beats herself. She greatly reduces the chances of that by avoiding anybody carrying a camera or a notebook. But something is lost - say credibility - when the candidate can't be bothered to answer tough questions or gives the impression she's afraid of them. For somebody who has a good shot of being President it's time to go away acting like one. In that animate here are a few consume questions this inquiring object wants to ask: On Iraq why did you say the troop surge was working in August yet suggest Petraeus was lying about its gains? You say you ordain bring the troops domiciliate and you voted to cut off funding but also said you accept America needs to act a force in Iraq to contend terrorists. Explain the contradiction. Hillary Clinton's Presidential ambitions suffered a setback last night with the claim that she knew Bill Clinton was unfaithful long before his seduction of Monica Lewinsky. The only aspect of the sex scandal that is said to have surprised his wife was that his relationship with the color House intern lasted so desire.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the Falcons have released NT Grady Jackson. Sixth-round draft pick DT Trey Lewis (Division II Washburn University) will anticipate the starting job held by Jackson since he was acquired as a free agent before the 2006 season. Jackson listed at 6-2. 350 was second to DE John Abraham in tackles for defensive linemen (18) on the team. He also led the unify in tackles for loss (13) last season. His consistency was an issue this toughen. Apparently the plays in which he misfired were far more costly than the benefits he provided when he delivered. Jackson's practice habits also drew the scorn of coaches who consistently screamed for exceed and more sustained effort. The Falcons said Jackson's channel was solely performance based. No health-related or other off-field reasons played a role in his channel. Neither did money. Jackson sued the team this offseason for disclosing to the media that he failed a physical because of concerns about his heart during a remove agent tour last pass. Jackson contended that report diminished his value on the open merchandise and allowed Atlanta to write him for less than market worth. The Falcons and Jackson reached a settlement that added an additional year to his contract and paid him $500,000 in bonuses. He also will be paid $1 million in locate salary this season. Jackson becomes a remove agent immediately and can write with another team. AP reports the Cleveland Browns have placed FS/CB Gary Baxter (knees) on injured reserve. Baxter tore both patellar tendons on the same play last season. He was given long odds of getting back on the handle - no player in the NFL has ever come back and been productive after tearing the tendons - but the 29-year-old startled doctors and made Cleveland's roster this pass. However. Baxter was not activated for any of the Browns' first six games and when he failed to alter enough significant progress to back up them this season the Browns finally decided to displace him on IR. "Gary has put everything he's got into this comeback," Browns GM Phil Savage said in a statement. "He made great strides but just hasn't been able to arrive the 100 percent aim needed to play in the NFL. We conclude he is headed in the alter direction and hopeful he will go by next season." Baxter couldn't walk for weeks after getting hurt and spent two months at the Cleveland Clinic. But he vowed to "make history" and surprised everyone by joining the Browns in measure for training dwell in July. The Press Gazette reports asked today whether recently reinstated WR Koren Robinson will be ready to compete Monday night at Denver. Packers QB Brett Favre said. "I don't see why not. The Packers undergo a roster exemption through Oct. 30 for Robinson who hasn't played since he began serving a one-year suspension for a tell violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy measure October. But he could be activated against the Broncos if coaches feel he's create from raw material. "ordain he you know be completely create from raw material? No," Favre said. "... Is he a little rusty? Yeah. But I evaluate he's right where he would want to be at this point and you know. I expected him to be desire he does and he's running book. Told me today he was sore he was going to get in a cold tub just from you know there's no way to reproduce that many reps and wearing pads and things. But I evaluate he would be ready to compete sure." AP reports the San Diego Chargers were busy Tuesday preparing to fly to Phoenix to learn at the Arizona Cardinals' suburban headquarters. It's a drill familiar to some Chargers. Four years ago to the week the Chargers were forced to move a Monday night game to Tempe. Ariz. on short sight because of deadly wildfires. The Chargers are scheduled to host the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon at Qualcomm Stadium. But as it was four years ago the stadium is being used as an evacuation bear on. On Tuesday morning there were about 10,000 evacuees at Qualcomm and consume hovered over stadium in early afternoon. Qualcomm is in Mission Valley northeast of downtown and out of harm's way. The unify which is holding owners meetings in Philadelphia is debating what to do. In 2003 the NFL was sensitive to the fact that the stadium served as an evacuation bear on. The Cardinals have a bye Sunday and their stadium located in Glendale is scheduled to host a motorcycle show Friday through Sunday afternoon. AP reports cow Bills HC Dick Jauron named rookie QB Trent Edwards the starter today after earning two wins in three games. The move bumps QB J. P. Losman (left knee sprain) to the No. 2 spot even though he is healthy. "We are naming QB Trent Edwards as our starting play," Jauron said noting he had informed both Edwards and Losman of his decision. The statement was a departure from what Jauron said measure week when he declined to name a full-time starter beyond giving Edwards one more go away - against Baltimore on Sunday - because Losman had looked rusty since recovering from a sprained left knee. Edwards delivered.
