Look TUAW. I do like your blog. I subscribe to you in my Google Reader and read (almost) every article. It’s one of the few places where I can get great news on Apple hardware, software and basically anything that’s pertaining to the fruit company.
However, when you post articles like this, it just reeks too much of ignorance.
Let me go through the steps Steven Sande has done and try to provide him with some advice.

Google. The number that became a company, that became a search engine, that became the best search engine on the internet, that became the definition of search, that is in the business of knowing you. And it’s putting every effort in getting to know you and your habits.

Ahh XCOM. How do I love thee? Let me count thy ways..
In many gamers’ eyes, XCOM is the pinnacle of gaming excellence. No of developers: 6. No of Floppy discs: 3. Awesomeness: priceless. There is simply no other game like it. Some would argue that Jagged Alliance had better strategic combat, but XCOM is more than just a turn-based strategy game. It’s an economic management game. It’s a horror game. It’s an RPG. It basically takes all the genres and seamlessly combine them into one unique package that no other game can match.

You and your high scores in uber-death mode difficulty means nothing once you start playing this game. It is the epitome of a challenge.
From the moment you start, there is no quit button. There is no way you can stop and continue later. Progress is always saved every second, every microsecond, every picosecond, every quantum interval of time, but there is no reload method. There is only 1 life, no continues. There are no cheat codes. Experience is gained everyday and you will never stop levelling.

Continuing from my previous post,
f(n+1) = “I will love my wife on Date(n) + 1 additional day”
So do I still love my wife a day later from yesterday, meaning today? Yes I do! So, f(n+1) is proven.

Or at least, ’til the day I die anyway. (Maybe I should have done this when I married her, but well, better late than never!)
To prove that I will always love my wife, let us first define the function Date(n) which will take in an integer value 1 or more and return a date.
Day = Date(n), where Date(1) returns today, Date(2) returns tomorrow, etc.
Now let us define the statement “I will always love my wife”.
