I happen to be visiting japan right now, and those QC codes are freaky awesome. At the bus stop, I scan the sign with the bus times, and my phone opens up an internet page that says the bus will be here in 5 minutes.

QC codes still have one very large advantage over these colorful things. They're square dots. Squares are easier to print, and easier for a low-resolution fixed-focus CCD to scan.

Screw all this worry about identification. I've got a finger print and a retina and a facial structure. Put them into the friggin computer and get it over with. I'd rather they computerized and quickly checked all of the above rather than spending my millions of tax dollars and fidgeting over bandaid solutions that are just as bad as the existing FLAWED system.

If you can't get into the US don't like waiting in line, or don't have a passport, go to mexico. It's much easier to walk accross the border, you don't have to wait in lines, and the airport security won't steal your unopened can of Mt.Dew. (like mine was earlier today. I didn't even know the security scanner had removed it until I got on the plane!)

I still say this is a bad idea. Use your computer. It's secure, the BT software is more updatable and won't flood/spam the network. And I can controll it (like not downloading while I'm trying to play FPSes).

2! Still waiting for my PS3!

It is very legal to record anything off the open airwaves for your personal use. It's never been a question.

What about recording talk-shows and non-RIAA content? That is still legal too!

What gives? This move makes absolutely no sense. Someone please sue these F-ers!

That's a pretty cool mini pc.

I really tried to think of another holiday 360 title, but only one I can come up with is Gears of War.

This would be sued by neighboring homeowners, blocked by the FAA, picketed by employees who actually have to WORK in the building, protested by the Cancer Association of America, and laughed at by every news anchor....

If it happened in America.

nope....engadged just bumped the pixel count... we're on 300MP now hehehehe.

A few hundred more years, and the remaining bird population will learn to fly around the turbines instead of through them.
