My comments

• These were the hot item this Christmas?
  I hadn't even heard of them until now.
  
  
  
  That being said, though, I wish I had seen that bandwagon coming and jumped on it myself.
  I recently found a local store getting rid of their used original Xboxes for a mere $20 + tax.
  I instantly put up ads on Craigslist, selling them for $35 each.
  I sold 20 in under two weeks, for a profit of almost $300.
  And I traded one for an almost-brand-new copy of Modern Warfare 2. (Worth around $50)
  
  Unfortunately, I bought all the Xboxes the store carried and my revenue ran dry, but it was a good run while it lasted. In reply to: "For eBay sellers, a holiday hamster hangover"

• More sales, more piracy.
  This is normal.
  
  
  Some will argue that the increased piracy helped fuel the incredible sales numbers, and others will count each one of those downloads as $60 of lost revenue.
  
  
  This is nothing new, though. In reply to: "Modern Warfare 2: Most pirated game of 2009"

• It's...different!
  
  
  I liked a couple of the sections, but some were just not interesting enough.
  And most of them weren't able to to prove how good a browser Chrome is. Watching a hammer fall, and then seeing the word "Speed" doesn't convince me to switch.
  
  
  Since it's so out of the box, though, their campaign will probably still stick out in my head for a while, though. Which is exactly what they want. In reply to: "Google goes all arty to sell Chrome"

• @ U. Tripps:
  
  I agree that adulthood can have a defined age limit for the purpose of the legal system, but especially for things such as sex, nude photos, and similar things...it can't just be about the fact that one of them is over 18.
  
  There should at LEAST be a rule that makes it legal if it's consensual, as long as they're within three or four years of each other. This would make it ok for an 18-year-old and 15-year-old to hook up, but not a 17-year-old and a 40-year-old. That's just creepy.
  
  
  When a 17-year-old takes a nude photo of herself for her boyfriend, though, that should NOT count as child pornography. Seriously. In reply to: "Study: 15 percent of teens have gotten 'sext' messages"

• I find the magical line of '18-years-old' to be so wrong.
  
  Either something is wrong and immoral, or it's not.
  A 19-year-old receiving a nude photo from his 17-year-old girlfriend is no different from a 17-year-old getting one from a 15-year old. If it's consensual, and the two people know what they're doing, then that's up to them.
  
  Once a person turns 18, nothing changes except the laws regarding them.
  They're just as smart (or dumb, as the case may be) as they were a year or two before that.
  
  
  *sigh*
