Why Do People Want A 7″ Xbox Surface Tablet?
Artist Rendition

So, even though they run the same tech and ports will be super easy, odds are you won’t be able to move any of that tech over. And there are other issues.

This was a decade ago and AIM is still an incredibly popular reason to claim you have an Aol account. MSN Messenger had many more features than AIM, tied to your Hotmail account, and all my friends were using it. Well, times change…

CBS Starts to Cave, Brings Shows to Hulu
YEEAAAHHHH!
Fox, NBC & ABC have a couple of things in common. Their shows are available on Hulu & they own Hulu. CBS has never had shows on Hulu. In fact, CBS owns TV.com where you can watch CBS shows. I don’t know why CBS decided not to have shows on Hulu. I always thought they were left out and pouting. Today that is all starting to change though. Read the rest of this article…

He’s a sloppy mess as he comes into the plane, reeking of gin, but when his vessel begins to fall apart around him, he sobers up quick. Through this we learn that Whitaker may be some kind of Superman, only fully operational when completely doped up. Of course, it’s not long before reality starts to catch up with him.
