Shawn has my vote.
EDIT:
the story about suing the six year old.. just blows my mind. what have we come to???

I've like'd Shawn's photo, it looks nice. I'm really looking forward to RAGE on the iPhone, even though I don't have one atm I play a lot on my friends & family. And those Chinese workers, aren't there wearing protection? The hell, thats messed up, but then again who am I to say, from reading what others have said over at Sd it doesn't even seem like a big deal.

crazy to think that touchscreens are connected to 'blood money'. At what cost is our convenience? And suing a six year old? Get real! While we don't know the details of the case I'm pretty sure IF anything should be done it should be on the parents.

There's nothing like suing a 6 year old. I'd say there is a pretty good chance that would screw her life completely up.

gl Shawn hope ya get the ipad. man what is the world coming to suing a 6 year old don't make me laugh. I hate that those people are getting poisoned just so we can have touch screens. -
The ruling came about because a child under four is held to a certain standard, and above four there was no clear definition as to their competency. There is a bit more to it than just suing a six year old. It may sound stupid, but that's how the law works.

wish i have that setup, nice!

Gave a like. good luck

Nice high quality pictures. Added my Like to many of them

New York Judge rules 6-year-old can be sued.
This does not shock me because I remember a case where the police booked a 3 year old for rioting & stone pelting at a protest.Later the case was dismissed after the news was published in newspapers & aired on t.v.
Voted for Shawn Knight.
