Playboy to feature topless video game character. Next: thousands of hentai fans start masturbating to real naked women.

I bet Mac sales would skyrocket if they came out with a topless tomb raider for Mac only... Of course, IBM allegedly already has their hands full making enough G5's.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

The Motion Picture Ass. of America (MPAA)
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/25 ... hipmakers/

Heh, I'm not sure if the Register put "Ass." instead of "Association" on purpose or not, but it's stilly kinda funny. Especially since they're being asses like the Recording Industry Ass. of America.

Read the website of a guy who likes web comics more than you do.

Not a bad way to find new comics or 'Best Of' strips.

Geez, we need page 3's in this country to beat down some of the hard right christian values and maybe actually educate a few people in the process...

CNN Article here:

Also, this I didn't know:
So why take the chance? Basically, Playboy's demographic is very much in line with the sweet spot of the gaming industry. Eighty-five percent are male. The average age is 33. And half of its readers make $75,000 or more per year.

Spiffy. SFF systems have no allure for me, but I could really get excited about something of this size.

Biostar's been selling the PC equivalent for a while now

http://www.biostar.com.tw/products/lcdpc/index.php3

Though, from a quick look at the Biostar specs it's built on "value" type hardware, rather than the presumeably high-end ones Apple is using. It does appear to be upgradable, since many of the components are listed as optional.

I don't know who else makes these kinds of systems, but I know I've seen others at Directron. There's one system that's entirely build into the keyboard, rather than the monitor.
I feel like I just beat a kitten to death... with a bag of puppies.
