How is OS X compatibility on this? I was going to pickup a Dell Mini 9, but the specs here are so much better...
The eyes, the *eyes*...

"Child-robot with Biomimetic Body." Pedophiles rejoice...
"Leak sauce"? Rly?
Is wireless USB going to be just like Bluetooth: unreliable and plagued with interoperability issues (since everyone wants to put their own spin on the spec)?
Christ Almighty! This is NOT an easy mod, especially if you have other things to do. I'll say this much: the PS3 controll looks much more elaborate than the 360's.

At least I know what I'm up against when I open this damaged 360 controller here...
"We hold these things to be self-evident: That cutting a giant hole in your living room's wall, to flush-mount a rear projection TV, and ruining a whole other room in the process, is the height of idiocracy."

Note the door coming right up against the back of the TV. There's no concealing it behind a cabinet of some sort. That fool's property values fell through the floor the minute he started cutting...

Only male, dork, losers, that still live in their parents' basements, still have the desire or ability to invest the money required to pursue a hobby with such a high cost:benefit ratio. It's not rich people. Rich people don't play games on their PCs.

I see your sort with my own eyes all the time: you're a bunch of freaks. In the last 2 years or so, I've not met a SINGLE PC gamer that wasn't a weirdo in some way.
Where does it lead us? To the end of the world as we know it? If so, it can't happen soon enough.

I can think of nothing more just than THE modern system of government and commerce crashing down as a direct consequence of its own greed, lust for power, and pride. Yay!
Does it come with a pro-level Non-Linear Editor that does MPEG 4? No? Well then WTF is the point? What idiot chooses Sony-branded crap over commodity hardware, when the latter can be had for a fraction less, and the former offers no additional benefits?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
