It was recommended I might ask here for android.stackexchange.com/questions/63388/… that was closed?

I think it's a nice question, and provided insight into steam's mindset.

So if the question was "What are the dates the Steam Winter Sale has been on?" it might prove useful for extrapolation in the future?

That's like closing a question "When does Easter occur?" on a holidays SE. It's a legitimate question?

too localized in space? Time? Interest?

@OrigamiRobot How is it too localized?

And even Mana's could be considered part of the thread.

@Oak I was just about to say that.

My question is the comment I posted at meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/a/3601/126

thanks @FallenAngelEyes

Pinging him is a good idea though ;)

But he's not online?

Who online would know the most about the bounty giveaway?

:148071 1a2a3a4a5a6a7a8a9a0a is warmup for attacking, and there is typically a click after each "a"

Then we'd just need wireless power built in.

:147602 But it might be built into TVs soon.

But you can watch a movie on your iPad, then send it to your apple TV!

:147557 Now that is a reason to get an iPad :D

Typical board size? several feet in diameter.

pass and play discourages the discussion, which is half the point of carcassonne. Social interaction.

Carcassonne is better in real life (same with scrabble)

an iPad is more convenient, sure, but is it worth the cost? And the "crap, I can't play StarCraft II on this thing" factor?

:147486 Yeah, I see this. I do have a laptop floating around the house for similar purposes.

I'm away from home, or I'm at dinner and a question came up.

Because I'm out.

(and why am I not working playing StarCraft II?)

But if I'm doing those things, why am I not sitting at a computer?

okay.

:147463 Help me understand without having one?

Oh.

Is it smaller than my phone?

My phone does that.

It lets me surf the internet?

Oh, it doesn't?

Does it play StarCraft?

See, I want a reason to buy an iPad, but I don't really see it filling a need for me, especially without a keyboard.

:147420 Well said.

In any case, the PS3 and the 360 do the same job as the Apple TV, but they're a lot more expensive, and may not be compelling to them.

the 360, the PS3, and the Apple TV all have a rental online streaming system.

the PS3 watches random internet videos through it's crappy browser.

I left off #3 for the 360 and PS3, because it's probably about the same.

the Boxee application requires a separate computer? I'm not sure I understand Boxee well enough.

The Boxee Box is more expensive

Roku is the same price but doesn't do #2 as well.

XBox 360 and PS3 do 1 and 2 well, but more expensive

The guys who seem interested in AppleTV like the 1) Netflix Streaming, 2) Streaming from a computer 2) Streaming from the internet.

Does Boxee support netflix? non-xbox Media Center Extenders?

but has a lot of PCs and Macs at home.

No? We're a win development shop, heavy windows development stuff. One of them in particular is a mac fan too,

Because they don't have such solutions
