Game Wars 2 - Battle for the Living Room

securitas writes "The New York Times' John Markoff writes about the fight to own the living room in the next-generation game console wars, with a digital divergence predicted instead of the much-hyped convergence. With games historically being a driving force in consumer PC growth, Intel is pushing PC-based systems as the dominant platform while the videogames industry is looking to the next generation of consoles as media hubs. Sony, Nintendo and IBM are firmly in the console camp. Microsoft has one foot in each of the PC and console camps, cooperating with Intel on the PC front while looking to IBM for the next Xbox. Meanwhile, Apple is taking its own tack, buoyed by the phenomenally successful iPod. Steve Jobs has been highly critical of iPod clones with video and gaming features, and some are looking to Apple for the next home entertainment revolution. Markoff also talks to WildTangent's founder Alex St. John, who predicts the PC makers and Intel have a losing strategy."

    A google link for a NYTimes article!

    Copy and pasting those links into the google search bar myself was just becoming too much of a chore. I couldn't take it anymore. I was just getting ready to sacrifice my first born.

    It seemed like hours,tho probably not more than one,that the three of Slashdot.com american fags
    us sucked,was sucked,fucked,was fucked,came,and came again,was licked
    clean,and then covered with someone else's cum yet one more
    time.Finally,exhausted,spent,and as soft as a marshmellow I dose'd
    off,and slept untill I was gently shaken awake by Kenny telling me to get
    up,and have some breakfast before heading home to check in.
    I got up,a little stiff(although NOT my cock),and sore,dressed,and
    went down to a great breakfast.While we were eating,Dave impressed on me
    the danger to ALL of us if anyone(read my parents) found out what had
    gone on last nite.That was the last thing I wanted,or needed,to
    happen,and readily agree'd to keep quiet.In fact I was,unbelievably,
    getting horny again,and wanted either,or both, of them once more.Maybe
    twice.But it was nearly 10:00 am,and I headed home,after a bunch of
    kissing,and gropeing among the three of us,promising to come back as soon
    as I could.
    When I walked in the folks asked if I had had a good time,and did I
    want anything to eat? I answered Yes,and No,but that we(Ken and I)had
    stayed up late playinggames,and I thought I would catch a nap.Leaving the
    'rents to their coffee,and newspapers,I headed for the room I shared with
    my older brother,Vic.He was 17,and not a bad guy most of the time.A
    Junior in High School,he had his own car,and if I begged hard enough
    would even give me a lift sometimes,to my school,or to the Mall.I was
    almost as tall as Vic,and we played B-Ball in the driveway occasionily.
    When I opened our bedroom door,there was Vic stark naked,stiff prick
    waving in the air,as he lay in bed,with the covers thrown back pounding
    his meat big time.He had his eyes closed,and didn't see me standing
    there.I quietly closed the dood,tip-toeing over to his bed,and leaning
    close to his ear,I whispered,"Good morning".
    Vic went sat straight up in bed,dropped his cock,and grabbed the
    covers to pull over himself,but I reached out and stop'd him,leting my
    hand fall on his 7" prick,and hairy balls.When he could talk,he
    yelled,"What the fuck do you think you'r doing,Shithead"?
    "Finishing the job you apparently couldn't ,"I reply'd."hold
    still,lay back,and relax."
    Somewhat to my surprise,he did lay back,and as I jacked him to
    orgasim,he had a big smile on his rather handsome face.Then I REALLY
    shocked him because as he stiffen'd,and shook as he came,I leaned
    over,took his smooth,hard cum-shooting prick into my hot mouth,and
    sucked in all his load,gulping nearly nearly all of it down.
    He open'd his eyes,looking at me with a big smile,and asked,"When in
    Hell did you turn queer,and why haven't you let me know before now"? Here
    I've been beating my meat,when you could have been giving me a
    hand-job,or better yet a blow-job."
    "Don't get your hopes up yet,bro.That was just a free sample.You want
    more?You have to earn it".
    "What the fuck you babb'ling about,twirp?
    "I'm saying if you want any more,you have to give a little".
    "You talking about ME sucking on YOU?",He gasped,"No fucking way"!
    "There's no reason you shouldn't jack me off,tho,is there"?
    "Well,maybe I could do that",He mumbled,as I stood up,and began
    shucking my clothes off."You mean right now"?
    "What better time"?,was all I said,as I put his hand on my (once
    again) hard cock.I don't have any idea what the world record is for a 15
    year old boy to cum in a 24 hour period,but I had to be close to breaking
    it!
    With only a little hesitation,Vic began a easy,jacking motion on my
    stiff prick using his soft,warm,but strong right hand.He soon got into
    the mood,and began playing with his own hardning cock.I of course
    couldn't pass up such an opportunity,and removing his hand,I replaced it
    with my own on his longer,and thicker prick.It was only a bit smaller
    than Dave's,and I kind of p
