I'd like to see it in person before I judge, but as much as I LOVE the CTS sedan, this coupe looks impossible to see out of the back. Hopefully that notion will change when I see one close up.

I don't have an X360, and I'm more of a PS3 guy myself, but Forza 3 is the clear winner in my eyes. It has everything; the tracks, the cars, the customization, the physics, the visuals. Right up there with Gran Turismo as far as a simulation goes. Not a hard choice for me.

Anyone else notice that $9.99 a month is actually less than $119.99 a year? Granted it's 11 cents but, hey it's 11 cents. That's 1/25 of a gallon of gas people.

Wow, even though Jobs is a media darling; this is HUGELY a dick move. Not only does a 10 word response come off as largely dismissive in light of a long letter in response to the issue, it's largely contradictive. If it's honestly "not that big of a deal", then why bother making the company change the name? Is TLAF making more or less money based off the name? No. Did the sale of an app called iPodRip impact Apple's sales of iPod/iPhones? No, and if you beg to differ, I implore you to prove it.

The flip side; now TLAF has an app that now has had 2 names. I'm sure this would confuse some as to whether or not this app is the same. Also, the name iPodRip requires no further description as to what it does. iRip on the other hand, is not as self-explanitory. iRip what? Farts? Paper? The fabric of space and time? Of course the explanation of the app is literally 3 seconds away, especially on the website, but the new name lacks the same impact.

The unfortunate truth though is that the iPod name is Apple's intellectual property, and they have every right to request the name of the app be changed. To me though, it wasn't even worth it.

Do want, seeing friends nab trophies I don't have for games we mutually own would probably motivate me to play said titles more.

While I can't say you're incorrect, isn't that the whole point of Ubuntu's existence? To show the world that desktop Linux is a valid solution? I credit Ubuntu for creating alot of Linux fans, including myself. I've turned to more of a SUSE guy if I'm gonna use Linux (I like it, but I'm not sold on it as my daily OS), but I have alot of love for Ubuntu. It's kinda like a "My First Distro" sort of thing, nothing really wrong with it, but it's easy to outgrow for a power user.

That may be what's in the release notes, but I have a PCIe Radeon HD2400, pretty low end, and I saw a pretty significant boost when I installed the update.

As much as I love desktop gnome/kde based Linux, the software just isn't there. I do alot of high end sound/audio processing, and Wine runs it much slower, or it's buggy. That right there kills it for me. But for someone who just needs to check e-mail, mess with basic pictures/music and surf the web, I'd say Linux for them all day. Otherwise.. Win/Mac all the way.

This article is incomplete. Yes, Apple filed such a patent. However, if you look closer, this would be an ad-supported FREE version of the OS. Personally, I doubt this would take off. People would rather just pay for the ad-free version of the OS per usual than worry about saving money up front and dealing with headaches later.
