@comments "In most situations a faster CPU is better than a dedicated GPU."

Yeah, but wouldn't it be nice if we could have both without breaking the bank? In any case, with the exception of gaming and heavy graphics work, I find the Atom to be adequate for most of what I do. Browsing, document editing, some minor picture editing, coding, watching video. My Ion-based HTPC plays HD video pretty well in most of the codecs I find online, so I'd be happy with an Ion netbook for most of what I do, provided it came at a reasonable price. This thing doesn't cut it for me because the battery life isn't very good and the price is too much, but it's close.
This is true, but as long as the Android Market versions didn't come with those files (find the WADs yourself) or only came with the shareware versions, the porter should have been in the clear. All three of those games have seen their engines released, so unless these were coming with full copies of each game, there shouldn't be any basis for a copyright infringement claim.
just google for "porn torrent 1080p", you'll find tons of shit in HD.
Even another rehashed boring ass generic Medal of Honor game? Seriously, it's the same shit in a different pile.
@LZBravo: So take it up with Infinity Ward. This is what QA testing is for. Maybe they shouldn't have been in such a rush to have the hit title of the holiday season. In any case, a patch is supposedly forthcoming, so it will be rectified soon enough.
This comment is the best part of this discussion. Kudos, sir.
No, it's a reference to a really stupid commercial that Three Panel Soul also made fun of.
@Darkfocus: Correct, for the most part. But in the US and some other countries, the DMCA (or local equivalent) prohibits hacks and mods that will circumvent copy protection or DRM. Since the Homebrew Channel can be used for that, it can conceivably be an illegal mod in the US and some other countries.

Both the Conservatives and the Liberals in Canada have put forth bills similar to the DMCA and they've only been defeated because parliament ended before they could be put to a final vote. It's quite possible that this situation could happen here too, even with the minority government, since it has cross-party support.
@Sly: They might not be able to ticket you for the cursing (depending on local bylaws, which may or may not hold up in court if you're willing to fight them), but you're basically attracting their attention and asking for trouble. Most cops are bullies, and if they can't ticket you for that, make no mistake, they will find some reason to give you trouble and shut you up.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
