Sony Starts a Standards War Over Wireless USB
Stony Stevenson alerts us to news out of CES that Sony has kick-started another standards war, this time over wireless USB. Ars notes that Sony "[never was] one to settle for an open standard when the opportunity to push a proprietary alternative presents itself." Sony's TransferJet technology uses low-power UWB at very short distances to transfer data at a nominal 520 Mbps. Almost every other large technology company — including Intel, Microsoft, HP, and Samsung — has embraced the W-USB standard, which promises transfer speeds of 480 Mbps at distances up to 3 meters, vs. TransfeJet's 3 centimeters.
Hammertime!
I really don't have much to say here but to reiterate my wish that Sony would go away.
Sony is made up of greedy Japanese Jews with circumcised 3cm penises.
"Sony I believe would like to lay claim to every standard, propriatize (sp???) it, charge a fortune for it and charge a license at a fortune for it. Sadly (for sony) the world has opened its eyes to the advantage of open standards, Apple has opened up.. IBM has embraced the new world and EVEN shock, horror the massive monolithic Microsoft is starting to stir."
What a sad and pathetic post.
It is sickening to think that somewhere out there sitting in front of some computer is someone as nauseatingly fucked in the head as you clearly are.
"A good majority of Xbox games were 3-5GB in size"
That's because, dimwit, there is a 100ms seek penalty across layers on dual layer DVDs forcing us developers to keep many games confined to just one layer. Gee, guess how many GB that works out to...
As someone who has been an console engineer since the early 1990s, let me speak for most console developers out there in saying Go Fuck Yourself. Idiots like you who sit in forums running their mouths off about disc sizes and the rest of the garbage you just wrote are shitstains on the shoe of the console world.
Every single console generation there has been huge leap in storage that each system's games are distributed and stored on.
Just shut the fuck up with the "Sony is forcing teh BluRay drive on us" bullshit.
Shove those region coded games right up your ass.
are they trying to reinforce the stereotype that asians have small dicks? What next, a mexican computer that goes to sleep?
The DiMAGE G600 from Minolta uses Memory Sticks. Heck, memory sticks are not even exclusively made by Sony. I have a Memory Stick Pro made by SanDisk (Yes, the Sandisk that created the CompactFlash memory card), and the reader I use is from Sunbeamtech.
Newegg.com sells MS Pro Duos from Sandisk and Lexar as well as Sony, comparable in price to any other flash technology. How fscking dumb can you be? Minolta is pwned by Sony. Sandisk and lexar both license the technology from Sony, which explains why they are so fsking expensive. From the remainder of you fscking post, you have to be the biggest loser out there and the photo on you website proves it. At least you are earning yourself a Darwin Award with your enormous weight.
