 The "line" is the point at which we've raised the floor so high that the advanced teams are hitting the ceiling. The ceiling is pretty darned high (and the GDC keeps raising it), so I don't think we're in danger of that any time soon. - EricVanWyk [more] |

Re: USB power?
With appropriate tools and a spare iPod or USB cable to cut up, you can make something that can power any USB device out of a 9v battery. You need something to limit the voltage to 5 volts (I forget what it's called, but it's at Radio Shack), but it's really handy to have in your pocket when you need to power a Nintendo DS (not a USB device but can charge off USB current), iPhone, iPod, or camera for an hour or so.
I bought my dad all the parts he'd need to make his own, wrapped them in a box, and gave it to him for his birthday. I hope he figures out how to put it together by May.  ---- As for your iPod, I would recommend you get the battery changed in it. You can do it yourself for $40. If it's in warranty you can send it to Apple for free.
