"The breakthrough in this space, and the real profitability, will not come from anything as straighforward as putting social network access onto a device. Rather, it's going to require very clever designers and businessmen to sit down and think about how people interact with game consoles, how they interact with social networks and online services, and how those interactions can be built into gameplay systems." - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

Final chapter of DASjr's Jim Steinman "literal" trilogy. Not as good as Total Eclipse of the Heart, but still fun. "Magic photo dance! Duhnuh nuhnuh nuhnuh!" - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

It's an understatement to say that I'm really looking forward to watch this movie. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

Interesting data that shows that people are actually spending more money on entertainment now than before, not less. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

The most fun "B-movie" game ever? Probably. EDF! EDF! EDF! - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

The technical reason for why so many modern games have that dirty and gritty look. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

A sober look at those ridiculous "downloading costs billions" claims. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

This game looks to be amazing. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

Interesting to see Johnny Chung Lee on Microsoft's Project Natal team. Certainly makes it more believable. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

My favorite 8-bit game. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

"Firestone puts it this way: "We're in a sexual 'revolution' right now that eclipses the 1960s. The new crop of 'kids' (18 and 19 year old girls) applying to be Fire Girls are the first generation to be literally raised on internet porn. To them applying to do this is like 1 of 5 things they want to 'try' during the summer. And then they're going to go to med school. Today's porn career is the rebellion level of yesterday's sacral tattoo..." - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

"I'm a guy who doesn't see anything good having come from the Internet," said Sony Pictures Entertainment chief executive officer Michael Lynton. "Period." - Good to know that Sony employs such a forward thinker. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

"First announced in PC Gamer magazine back in 1997, Forever was shown before the original Half-Life launched, before the Dreamcast hit Japan, before either Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Color existed, before Microsoft's buyout of Bungie, and before Medal of Honor launched the whole damn World War II shooter genre. In the time since the game's revelation, empires have risen and fallen, or rather fallen and risen: Nintendo has gone from being the industry's top dog to a moot has-been to top dog again" - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

Det finnes kun et Internett, derfor blir det et egetnavn i motsetning til radio og tv (eller intranett for den saks skyld). - Ronny Arild

Loved the book, and I'm looking forward to the movie. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

Yeah agree. But didnt like the way they won... feels like Chelsea got very unlucky with the decisions! - Magnus K S Andersen

Yeah, I have to admit Chelsea deserved to win and should've had at least two penalties. And unless Barca improves a lot in the finale, they'll be crushed by Manchester United. - Ronny Arild

hmm, I've seen only BTTF... - A.T.

Sadly I never saw goonies either, never appealed. :) - ImJustCreative

This is pretty insane. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

"Director George Miller plans a 3-D animated feature for the postapocalyptic road warrior's fourth outing" - Baard @ Pixum from Bookmarklet

"If the Terminator franchise can carry on without Arnold Schwarzenegger, why not Mad Max without Mel Gibson? According to reports, plans are now afoot to bring a fourth instalment of the dystopian saga to the big screen, but without its most famous face." - Baard @ Pixum

The main difference is that The Terminator is a concept, while Mel Gibson is Mad Max. - Ronny Arild

I rather see a Half Life movie from these guys than, say, the new Terminator movie. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

I had to turn off this feature since it messed up the look of the inbox when using gmail on my Asus eee. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

Have been using Digsby for almost a year now. A very good application - Baard @ Pixum

Yeah, I only began using it this week but I'm definitely a believer so far. - Ronny Arild

It's not exactly the same. Move to is just a shortcut for label and archive. - Ronny Arild

Thanks Ronny. - Rutger Blom

Me too. Put me on the list... - Håkan Dahlström

I guess we can have a US based store as soon as the US movie companies wise up and maintain their own international digital download licenses (instead of selling them off to foreign distributors). I'm not holding my breath waiting for that to happen though. As for why we haven't heard anything from Apple, they're probably keeping it under wraps until they've secured enough deals to launch such a service. At least I wouldn't point my finger at them until their competitors launch similar services in Europe. - Ronny Arild

This is why I moved over to consoles a couple of years ago. Well, this and DRM. - Ronny Arild

Great list of the better movies available on Netflix Instant Watch. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

Old war photographs faded into same perspective present day shots. - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

"Dave built an elaborate Excel spreadsheet to run all of the numbers himself. When the dust settled, what he found was curious. Everything added up nicely except for the Yen column. After a few months of sales reports, he noticed that we were consistently missing 20% of our money from Japan!" - Ronny Arild from Bookmarklet

"Quite remarkably, their original projection estimated a ¥290 billion profit, which has now swung to an expected ¥260 billion loss. That's a swing of over $5 billion dollars (at current exchange rates) in just eight months." - Ronny Arild

And the bad news keeps rolling - Bryan Clark

You shouldn't believe an "of course we're not doing X" PR from anyone. - Ronny Arild
