Commented on: Will the USA win the most GOLD medals at the 2012 London Olympics?

Seriously, I think USA will be the best team in 2012. China had the home court advantage last time.

Maybe 2010? 128GB. That's good enough for a few HD movies.

Commented on: China: Post-Olympic Economy?

Just like any other hosting countries before China, the post-olympic economy usually go bad before it gets better. Over spending in the games is usually the case. Not sure if the long term benefit is really worth it.

Commented on: Lego Halo game announced in 2008

I am still trying to figure this one out. There might be a market for this game, but first thing first. We need to see the Halo 4 game first.

Commented on: The Next Halo Game, what genre will it be?

Bungie showed this cool (but not too funny) video hinting the next Halo game.
http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?artic...

But still there is no concreate info on what the game really is about. However, by looking at the video and its rendering, it looks like it is designed for a first/third person shooter.

Commented on: Will Cuil (search engine) be acquired in 2008?

Microsoft doesn't need another search engine. It's Live search engine might not be the best, but I don't see how Cuil technology is any better. AOL might find it more useful.

Commented on: Will Internet Pornography Harm or Benefit Our Society?

There are still a lot of articles online "explaining" the benefit of pornography:
http://ask.metafilter.com/94450/What-...

My conclusion is "out of sight, out of mind". If you don't watch it, you don't realize you need it. Go out and have some sports or healthy sex, then you don't need porn. But of course some might argue that healthy sex is hard to come by. I concur.

Commented on: Will there be any protests inside Olympic venues?

There are so many days to go. It is hard to say no. All it takes is one guy bringing out a banner and start "protesting". As long as he can make himself on the news, then mission accomplished..

Commented on: 2008 Olympics: Country with Most Medals?

I can see China getting a lot of medals this year. But look at China's past records, especially in track and field, then you should realize it is not that easy.

Commented on: Will Internet Pornography Harm or Benefit Our Society?

I found a few older articles on the web about how pornography can benefit us. It is very interesting, though I cannot say I agree:
"Pornography has its benefits"

"Pornography benefits women, both personally and politically"

I am surprised to hear KFC is getting rid of trans fat as well. Canada should do the same as well.

Commented on: Google acquires Digg before end of Aug 2008

Digg still has an ad deal with Microsoft. And I am sure they want to count Microsoft in the bidding game. So, it is still possible that Digg get acquired by Microsoft instead.
