Apple Racks Up the Gaming Patents
An anonymous reader writes "Evidence has been growing that Apple is developing a new gaming console. Now, there are some possible details about how a combined media/game console might work, based on patent applications filed by Apple in late 2007 and early 2008. Here is some of what we can look for: having your personal music integrated into a title, a 'natural' gesture multitouch interface, and a single online store that sells games, media, and video."
So what? Is is supposed to be cool or should we remember how the summer is coming and how bad is it to stay indoors when we could sweat outside and have sex with real beings instead of wanking with a lame virtual experience?
I hate the idea that so many wankers prefer rock band or guitar hero to the pleasure of actually playing original stuff of their own for real. Have you become that artificial?
What about becoming sane and healthy, then fix your Garbage Patch before it kills you*?
(*not that you'd be missed much, anyway: USians have not invented anything on their own during the last century, even waterboarding was inspired by Japanese officers whom they subsequently executed before denying it to be torture)
Smile, don't click...
As much as I dislike their products, if Apple goes after the Wii with stong iTunes and iPhone/Pod integration, as a gaming and convergence device, they could hurt Nintendo.
Uh...yeah, right! I have a feeling I've met the guy who wrote the [$arg] parent post. He's a skinny little fellow who always sits alone at the lunch table and tells himself that he's better than everyone else and doesn't want their miserable company because they're all such sheeple. Then he finishes his lunch and has to pick up his tray off the floor because some total jerk bumps into him and knocks everything down and all those stupid, stupid SHEEPLE laugh like the stupid SHEEPLE they are. Then, on his way to his locker, that cute girl in his geometry class, which he's only repeating this semester because he was so bored in the last class, I mean, good God, the teacher was such a mouth-breathing sheeple moron, but anyway that cute girl smiles at him from across the hall and his heart starts to beat a little faster even though she's standing beside that total douche of a quarterback who's like, such a mouthbreather, I mean, really, people like that should just be neutered at birth, stupid sheeple, but the girl smiles and so he slows down and pushes his glasses up on his nose and waves but then realizes she wasn't smiling at him but at her loud friend behind him, the one with the platinum blonde hair who's a total whore which is why he's never tried to sleep with her and never would, thank you. And so he turns his wave into brushing lint off his Battlestar Galactica t-shirt, which has totally been signed by the whole cast, and goes to his locker and slams it shut and saunters out of the building to go home and write another blog post because this world just totally sucks and is filled with mouth-breathing sheeple and then he masturbates himself to a teary climax and falls asleep in the warm, sticky comfort of his own spooge.
Nice rant, but you misunderstand. The headline has a typo. The headline should read "Apple Racks up the GAY mingling Patents.
In other worse, Apple wish to enable gay men to have sweaty, bareback, meth-fueled sex. In the real live meatspace! Problem is that the 4 existing heterosexual Apple users would cry discrimination.
...and that's before he gyrates convulsively on his do-ragged, greased-up Yoda doll!

This would SMOKE any $500 PC. And you can even install XP on it.
PC people will scour the web for a way to make a cheap computer work well, when they can find it in 2 minutes on eBay.
