As a former RadioShack employee (sorry to admit it) I have to say that the main reason for the decline in customer service is the way it's managed. I had to go to this all day training meeting one time and the entire 6+ hours was basically "SELL EVERYONE WHO CAN TALK A F****** CELL PHONE, OR ELSE!!!"
Also, they put all of the sales people on comission and judge your morality by how many freakin' cell phones you sell. Of course they're not going to know the ins and outs of different transistors and resistors and XLR (and yes, I know what that is) connectors are because they make about.00001 cents for selling ones of those, whereas if you sell a few cell phones in a day suddenly you're rolling in cash. Add this on top of managers who make you feel like you've just killed a flock of kittens if you don't offer 5 cell phones to the 90 year old lady who wanted a new hearing aid battery and the result is what you see today.
Maybe, but I think the fact that you can play online with others will help offset that. If I were to get it I would probably just get the game with a guitar controller, which plenty of people have already done with the first two Guitar Hero games. Then I would go out and buy the other controllers as time went on. I can see that being a very successful business model.
You forget the fact that only 1 in 10 fully 3D goblins has a fully 3D nose, so you actually have to kill something like 300 fully 3D goblins to get 30 fully 3D goblin noses.

It's exactly like me stealing your car. You no longer have a car. The OEM has stolen Microsoft's money.
Whoa whoa whoa, all of us here on Slashdot know that stealing from Microsoft is perfectly legal.
To their credit it did say "life as we know it" not just "life in general"
You're reading WAY too much into that.
It's Yes, No or BOTH

Umm I think you're looking for the [unreal tournament 2004] tags
take your securely configured router that you can't figure out to me
Are you offering free tech support for every router vendor out there? How generous of you.
it's not like your computer is going to become unusable because Word crashed.
Actually, I would argue that it would become more usable because Word crashed.

That's like a segmentation fault right?

Until they reset the BIOS password with that magic jumper on the motherboard or pull out the battery....
37% of adults who go online own a videogame console.
So shouldn't the headline read "A third of all adults own a console"?
IANAL, but.. why not?
I understand we're decades away from an example like that, but physics is not the solution to every problem
No, but it is cool. And in the end isn't that all that really matters?

umm a terabyte is really 1 terabyte. Though 1 terabyte = 1024 gigabytes not 1000... but whatever.
I went to a job fair a few months ago and I think the booth with free food had the largest congregation for the majority of the fair. Darn moochers.
