Worst Christmas Ever For Gadgets?
An anonymous reader writes, "CNet says this will be the most disappointing Christmas ever for gadget-lovers. The Playstation 3 is delayed across most of the world, the Zune MP3 player is cancelled for everyone outside the US, Vista won't be out for home users before the big day, and even Final Fantasy XII won't reach Europe in time. From the article: 'It's enough to make you slit your wrists with the shards of a smashed Christmas tree bauble... Santa fails to deliver on almost all of his Yuletide promises. Most of the major technologies that were supposed to be ready for purchase have been delayed until next year.' The writer goes on to suggest phrases to use over Christmas dinner when the offending companies' products are mentioned. To reduce the pain of a Zune-less party, he suggests remarking: 'Imagine the stability and usability of Windows migrated to an MP3 player. In short, imagine a small portable version of Hell.'"
i think microsoft charges you twice the purchase costs of Vista to return it. And maybe an additional fee for every day you don't use it. Coz you know, it's their "IP".
Are you retarded? The mac mini is not a laptop. Apples professional line of laptops, the macbook pro, has already switched to core 2 duo, and all signs point to a switch of the basic consumer line any day now.
That'll be due to Sony titles such as Jihadi Jihadi!, Nuclear or Bust and Virtual Mecca.
