Hate to be such a stickler, but it pains me.

Thanks, folks.]]>Jan 5th 2007 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/
I hate to be a stickler, but your use of "can" requires a question mark. Such infelicity pains me.

thanks]]>Jan 5th 2007 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/

john, i knew someone would see that sooner rather than later ;)

engadget, myriad away in whatever word class you choose.]]>Jan 5th 2007 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/Jan 5th 2007 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/
Main Entry: myr·i·ad
Pronunciation: 'mir-E-&d
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek myriad-, myrias, from myrioi countless, ten thousand
1 : ten thousand
2 : a great number
usage Recent criticism of the use of myriad as a noun, both in the plural form myriads and in the phrase a myriad of, seems to reflect a mistaken belief that the word was originally and is still properly only an adjective. As the entries here show, however, the noun is in fact the older form, dating to the 16th century. The noun myriad has appeared in the works of such writers as Milton (plural myriads) and Thoreau (a myriad of), and it continues to occur frequently in reputable English. There is no reason to avoid it.

What the fuck are you talking about? Which of these makes grammatical sense: "I had many (a myriad) those", or "I had many (a myriad) *of* those"?

I have many dogs. (adjective)
Many are terriers. (pronoun)
A good many of them smell bad. (noun)

Of course you cannot substitute myraid for many - they have different definitions. However, in pure grammar terms they are similar, but not identical. Myriad cannot be a pronoun by its very nature -- referring to a "countless" or indefinite amount.

And I would have to say, while it is correct grammar, the adjective form of myriad generally sounds very pompous -- e.g., The myriad dog breeds are not limited to those listed by the American Kennel Club.

No headtracker? How unfortunate, as it is, thus, not very useful for first person perspective games...]]>Jan 5th 2007 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/Jan 5th 2007 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/
PS - of]]>Jan 5th 2007 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/
You could have used it as a noun -- a legion of comments -- but as an adjective, it is only acceptable in the form "x are legion."

Keep up the good work!]]>Jan 9th 2007 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/Jan 5th 2007 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/Jan 5th 2007 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/
i think it depends, on a case by case basis.]]>Jan 5th 2007 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/

Other than that ... you're absolutely right!

That said, they can't even show us real pictures or video of this thing, so i'm holding off judging it for now.

When will we get some decent goggles, with maybe a nice overlay? Pretty please?]]>Sep 20th 2007 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/headplay-announces-personal-cinema-system-hmd/http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=myriad+-of
