Convergence is definitely coming, but I think that'll be next year. My main reason for thinking this is that Mac OS X 10.10 seems a bit unwieldy, so we'll get 10.9 this year, and OS11 next year.

Yeah, well, if console and PC games go to always-online, locked to an account/console, with no cheat codes/sandbox mode, I'm pretty sure they'll push out a large percentage of gamers.

It looked neat, I might pick it up when it goes to $30/$20. Was more excited for SimCity 5 until all of the fallout over always online/DRM/micro transactions recently. So I'm back to playing Skyrim.

Probably a dividend, but buying Yahoo would be a good move. They'd get patents, maps and search to lose dependency on Google, plus get Flickr.

I got my replacement on Monday and a watch case (LunaTik). It's an okay iPod but great as a watch. I've been using it at work to listen to the morning radio.
