Remember when lists used to be cool? Before VH1 cancelled all its original programming, hired a cadre of faux celebrities and hack comedians, and became the network for the acutely time warped...
...games provided allow for "ad hoc" networking, meaning that other PSP users within WiFi range who also have the same game can play against each other. Future games may even allow players to network without everyone owning the software.

But of course, mobsters swear too. So could The Sopranos, just as critically praised, air on NBC? Can only good guys drop the F bomb? Indecency activists often cite the dictum of Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart on obscenity: "I know it when I see it." But who knows indecency, and what do they...
