  • How can anyone possibly say it's 'cheaper' or 'easier?' If a song's a dollar, and there's 15 songs on a cd, you end up paying 15 dollars anyway, which is what you'd normally pay. Well, 15-30, depending.

• Guilds: A History Lesson

  Tue Jan 31, 2006
  • I think perhaps Guilds in terms of 'focused skills' would be much better--IE the Tech Guild, the Entertainment Guild (not necessarily with the 'guild' label, and all).

• Been there, seen that: "chronic déjà vu" makes patients believe this

  • That was highly interesting. I saw that there's a digg on this, but with not enough diggs! Anyone here wanna help out? Shouldn't be missed. http://digg.com/science/Giving_d%C3%A9j%C3%A0_vu_a_second_look

• Nintendo Announces Official Names and Release Dates for US Brain Training Titles

  • Oh...oh my god! YES! Here I was thinking I'd have to import the Japanese version and use my limited knowledge to play these games! This is just so...brilliant. Makes full use of the DS's touch screen I heard. Irks me when developers don't use that.

  • I expected Newsvine to be above this sort of banter. Substantiated claims? Fleshed out opinions? Not on the internet! You're giving the best new medium and the best new website a bad name by making one-liner, stupid comments.
