Visitors, many from overseas, flow through the metal detectors at the building entrance and wander the corridors right up to the doors of his office, hoping for a glimpse of the Gubernator. "He is very mindful of that, so he walks about a lot," says Pat Clarey, his chief of staff. "It is kind of fun walking the hallways with him as the cameras go off."

And check out the mayhem you can cause with Gordon's gravity gun, which sucks...

You'll probably find that small LCD TVs are marked up 50% or more, compared with monitors of the same size. LCD TVs often have brighter screens and niftier designs that add to the cost of making them, but the real reason the TVs are more expensive is low volume.
