Yeah, I thought Ghost Squad's calibration was better than Zelda's, haven't tried RE yet, so it doesn't surprise me Sega's newest "light gun" Wii title has similarly good options. Sega has been doing these Rail Shooter games for a few years now, after all ;)

*Signals Sega to Open the Floodgates*
You want to a fix for the Lag? Assign your Wii a STATIC IP manually, then make that IP the DMZ/default host on your router. Went from not being able to get online to being able to play 20+ matches in a row with very little lag in random matching.
Awesome.

Thats all I have to say.
I actually have a pirated Chinese cart of this game..trust me it sucks. One thing, there is far more extensive use of Kuribo's Shoe or whatever in this than there was in SMB3 ;)
Somebody needs to do a "mobile" arcade using a massive RV, super-thin HDTVs and a mix of arcade and console hardware, that would be nice. Make the money off of concessions, rent it out for parties, move around seasonally...

Damn Somebody loan me some money! ;)
I'm only getting one if it has a slot for my Sonic & Knuckles Cart...what's the point of having a Genesis that doesn't play Sonic? :)
Great game, its actually been taking most of my playtime this week, even though I love NMH its so hard to wheel around on that clunky little bike when I know Paradise is just a few buttons away
Wow, what an amazing stench I've discovered! Could it be from a foul miasma of hatred, coming from a concentrated posting of ignorant anti-Apple ranting and raving?

I love it though, please continue to pour your hate all over the MBA, that makes it strong. Thats why the Cube failed; it didn't garner nearly enough rage from Apple haters, it was much more difficult to hate on from a price/performance standpoint (it lacked only GPU options, really), and Apple was still not doing as well as it is today. So please, if this post can incite just a bit more bile in your dark little PC fanboy hearts, pour it forth, so that the karmic backlash might sell another few thousand MBAs.

Apple's computers will always cost a bit more and have a certain set of options and features that they control, deal with it, nobody is forcing you to buy them. Its pathetic to post your hatred and bile here, if you love your PC so much why aren't you using it to play Crysis, or something else cool, instead of posting here about how much you hate this particular laptop?

I'm someone who pushes their machine constantly, so this probably couldn't ever be my primary machine, but then I've never owned an ultralight or a subnotebook PC of any type, no interest in an iPhone, etc. Obviously there is a market for this though, look at this comparison article (http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2008/01/22/how-the-macbook-air-stacks-up-against-other-ultra-light-notebooks/) and you see the MBA is actually pretty competitive. Yes the single USB port is an issue, but expect to see some pretty nifty docking products from 3rd parties shortly, and if you needed to plug in more than one thing aren't you at your desk/worktable/etc anyway? The Battery is hidden behind one screw, a tad more complicated to remove than say, a Nintendo DS battery, but not by much. There will be plenty of third party batteries, and Apple's battery exchange service is a simple drop off and pick up at your local Apple Store.

Also I probably missed it somewhere if anybody mentioned it, but this is also the "Greenest" laptop Apple has ever made, uses much less toxic chemicals in its construction (though of course Greenpeace is still not fully satisfied :roll: ) than older models.

Finally, I did think this review was fair, it missed a couple of points and didn't really compare it to other laptops like the article I link in this post, but still not too bad.

I need to design some type of crawler program to gather up the comments from here, cNet, a few other places and then do a statistical analysis on the resulting data, get a better idea of just how much time you all waste hating like this, how much time people like me waste refuting and/or mocking you, etc. Might be interesting ;)
@Jim: What's crazy is that they took so many initially planned features, like X-10 compatibility among others, out to make their launch date. If the system had come out for X-mas 2007 instead of 2006, think how packed with future-tech it might have been.
Esat I was pitying the haters like Mike, not those of you who just use PCs and don't go out of the way to hate on others. Thats 90% of the userbase, just like on Macs, the other 10% on either (or any) platform seem to be trolls.

@Mike: I've been able to run Windows on my Mac since the mid 90s in emulation/virtualization, not to mention Linux and the thousands of Mac-native Apps available, so I've never lacked for software. That USB standard all the peripherals seem to use today? Funny how the first computer to go completely standard with it was an iMac.

Glad you enjoy your PCs, what that has to do with an article about software updates to a platform you apparently don't use or like is what I don't understand. You do realize that by clicking on this article you're generating pageviews for it, which ends up as advertising revenue for Engadget, which then contributes in whatever small way to more articles about Macs? If you hate them so much, ignoring them is the best way to hurt them ;)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
