    I guess this gives a whole new meaning to the term "dupe".

    Its the first time I see a dupe inside itself.

  7. 90% is garbage by jurt1235 · · Score: 1, Funny

    That is again one thing the music industry should take in account with their pricing: People do not like to buy garbage at $16-20 per CD, and discover that 90% on that thing is garbage. Digital storage is much better in discarding garbage. Also to have all the music of the world with you will give you such a serious playlist, that you will dump 90% again just to be able to find the songs you like.

    The fun thing of the interview is though that it is mainly centered on music as example again. I would go as far to say that every invention done since the start of time has been done to be able to make better copies of music so everybody can enjoy it.
    Examples: Cavemen "invents" fire: Ability to send smoke signals of the latest hit list to next tribe.

    Cavemen invents the wheel: Ability to drive instruments on carts making it possible to carry bigger instruments to concerts with less effort

    Cavemen invents clothing: Ability to stand in front of audience in less embarassing way.

    Etc etc etc.

    What on earth does Sid Karin have to do with Nintendo?

    A better question would be is how did he get information about the Revolution?? This guy must have some great contacts!
