Actually, I was thinking "no USB, WTF Sony DIAF", but then I thought about their batteries, so just give it time.

That said, I'm rather fond of my PS3.
That doesn't even make sense - how does wearing glasses make this not 3D? For that matter, what do you consider to be true 3D then?
This looks like it works the same way as the IZ3D monitors, which use polarized glasses (does not require shutter glasses) that are more or less like normal sunglasses ("bulky stereoscopic glasses" Mr Ricker? Methinks you haven't looked at the photo you included with the post...).

One problem with this though is that unless they have a decently beefy 3D card/chip in the laptop, the 3D feature will be pretty much useless, and once you add a nice 3D solution, goodbye battery life.

As for everybody who says "OMG EYE HURTZ", have any of you seen one of the recent 3D movies like Up, Monsters VS Aliens, or Bolt? If your eyes didn't hurt then, they're not likely to hurt from solutions like this.
It's blurry because you're not wearing the glasses, but feel free to ignore this and please continue talking about completely unrelated things.
Better that they're wardriving than being driven to war.
Because for some reason, it's supposed to appeal to the geek-chic crowd with its single-minded sensibilities who crave a simplistic device to do a function that is included with most other devices but without the extra functionality that other devices also have, like going to an actual link that might be in an e-mail or viewing attachments because honestly, who really needs that kind of crap? I think there's a place for this device, but not with $20/month service, so I can't understand why people exploded all over the device when it came out earlier.

On the other hand, I can see the lifetime thing being a good thing; I also seem to remember that Tivo had a similar lifetime offer and that company seems to be doing pretty well, though I'm also reminded that the hardware encoder on my Tivo decided to get the hiccups permanently, and would have rendered a lifetime subscription useless thereafter.
While the controller is a knockoff, it's more of an interesting knockoff composite - the twist thing is in some mice (I'm thinking of Elecom, which might be a knockoff of another mouse design actually). However, here, it actually does solve the problem of the Wii remote being a lousy gun controller, and this seems like a far better solution than the Zapper shell.

Ironically, I want to see this product as a Wii controller instead of some offbrand crap game console with 12 built-in games and 12 more on an additional cartridge, with no more to ever come out.
Isn't 802.11n backwards compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
