I'm kind of conflicted. I've heard so many different reports regarding DS4 battery life, i'm generally getting 6-8 hours of life with constant use out of mine.

What are you clocking in at?

Working out of one's mother's basement was my thought. :P

Atleast a garages these days have some panache!

Hopefully someone should get a kick out of my story: Over memorial weekend of this year, my new 360 250gig Slim and entire 360 collection was stolen out of my home.

What they did not take: My kinect and small collection of 2-3 kinect games. Perhaps "Dance Central" Scared them off.

Seeing hacks like this for the kinect has given me something to do with it while I waited for an appropriate deal/time to purchase a new system, but honestly it's a little bit creepy.

I do not think the average consumer would be okay with a camera/internet connected device with a camera in their bathroom. That being said, coolest hack since the head tracking.

More start-ups are an inevitability of the future in my vision. I'm not discouraging or encouraging it either way, in fact it's probably not the best outcome, but because of popular media and the cultural dramatization of the start-up world and how entrepreneurial innovation works, people think it's a "Let's work out of a garage for awhile and then see what happens" type of thing.

I really hope that methodology and philosophy never becomes the penultimate choice for those that want to start their own business or innovate something.

The government could potentially destroy that balance though, I agree.

Where there is a need, there will be an innovation of some kind. The best ideas come partially from necessity.
