1. FALSE. While its tempting, the fact that the wheel won't turn with the tray in place means that its an unlikely event. Not that someone won't try though.
2. TRUE. It's not the way they would have wanted it, but everyone and their mother knows Windows 7 is out. It was just the boost they needed. Now, whether anybody cares is another question. ODDS: 32%
3. Microsoft does see people as having value. They also want to see people part with that value by buying their products.
4. ODDS: 5%. Most people have never heard of the animated show and those who do already have the release date set in their calendars.
5. If they could make Megashark vs. Giant octopus look cool, they can make anything. TOSSUP: I'd choose Fangface since I could always show him a picture of a Coppertone bottle to change him back.
6. TRUE. The episode was amazing, but it'll never find its place on network television. SyFy might buy it though and it would do well.
7. TRUE. I was amazed to find out that there really are collections of Rubiks cubes. I'm not sure whether that's cool or sad.
8. FALSE. Harlan will never change.
