Just off to scrub my brain with a wire brush to remove that mental image.

Certainly hope you never, ever, make a mistake with your stories Rhonda after giving such harsh criticism so publicly.

mmmmmm.  I think it's a bit easy to make criticisms about players and saying they should tour various countries.  There are peoples lives involved, players have wives and children putting pressure on them to stay safe.  Would you take unnecessary risks against your life in your job?

Seems to me that Mr McCain is undoing any good work he did in presenting a conservative alternative to those who don't like change.

Surely US citizens will see John McCain as only a marginal improvement over Bush, and vote for the Barack

Is it ironic that Punditty includes neither Puns nor Ditty's in this list?

"spitting image"? I don't think so.  Some people have way too much money.

corruption in Pakistan? you're kidding...

Supports the comments in the news story "Top 10 reasons Google is successful" in that it doesn't believe in Privacy.

Something just doesn't seem right here.  How do you simulate a "big bang" that effectively created the universe inside a tunnel?  While I'm sure greater minds than mine are involved and have fabulous theories on why it will work, I just can't see how you can recreate an event like that in any real way without causing significant physical damage to something!  But what's $10 Billion between friends, it's not like we have people starving in the world or anything like that....

Interesting that with the advent of the Internet, hackers and the overall sharing of information around the world, that there is still such a simple secret that hasn't been revealed.  Let's hope it stays that way.

Maybe a radical approach would be to just focus on the US issues such as health, sub-prime, crime and employment.  My guess is those that choose to vote might actually care a bit more about their own backyard than how the US treats or views other countries when it comes down to it.

I live in Australia and it's very interesting to watch this soap opera play out.  Hopefully Obama gets up as it appears John McCain is just more of the same for America, and from what I can tell that would not be a good thing.  Time for a real change and an ability to relate to the younger generation who are becoming more influential and demanding.

Interesting the comment on looking for other "earth like planets".  Typical of us humans that we assume we are the baseline for all that is good.  Maybe we are the unusual ones and should be looking for something better or different.

Can't wait to see it weave a web over wembley stadium, now that would be impressive!

Not sure about the "genius" function, isn't music meant to be a personal experience?  I can see this feature would be annoying after a while as the associations provided will be hit and miss based on personal preferences.  But then again who am I to question Mr Jobs!

It will be interesting to see how successful this is.  From the brief overview information it seems you would need a bit of patience to grow your creatures from micro-organisms.  Can't imagine too much action packed drama with an amoeba!  However I'd say the lure of ultimate power to create an entire universe will attract all sorts to this game.  Not sure where Sim games can go next, what's after Universe?
