Windows Live Messenger (although most Chinese only refer it as MSN) is one of the two major IM services in China (the other one being Tencent QQ). It is so dominant in the market that MS is planning to keep it alive there.
In fact, it might be the only commercially successful consumer product MS has in China (Pirated Windows and Office are so rampant that nobody pay for them. XBOX game consoles are also not officially available in China).
I bought Skyrim over Steam summer sale so I am a bit late to the game. The benefit of being late is that there are lots of completed, polished mods out there.
The mod community just blew my mind, offered things that are far beyond my expectation. It sometimes feels surreal that there are highly skilled people out there spending huge amount of time and effort to produce these insanely quality mods, for free.
Skyrim PC on itself is pretty good. But it has some stupid flaws (e.g. console centric UI). The smartest thing Bethesda ever did is to make it mod-able, let the community finish the things that developers are not willing to invest money/time on. With couple of mods plug in, this game becomes perfection.
EA and Bioware should learn a lesson here. I can only hope Dragon Age 3 would be similarly mod-friendly (given EA's track record, I am not holding my breathe).
No he did NOT flee the country. He asked permission to leave the country, and that permission was granted by the Swedish authority. Thus he left Sweden legally.
For the game developers and publishers, the issue with Wii is that its audience (light gamers) are largely unpredictable. Publishers dont know what kind of Wii games would definitely make money. The hardcore gamers (x360, PS3 owners) are a lot more predictable and easier to make money off.
No, Google will never launch its own Navy

Instead, Google will provide target search service for the Navy. Of course, the Navy men could also use the classic tools from Google such as "I am feeling lucky" and "sponsored links". The latter one is full of targets nominated by whoever pays the most for the particular keyword.
After read through the comments above, I'm amazed that on the releasing day of Vista, Win XP is finally recognized as a works-fine, customer satisfaction product.

When reading the title I thought that even Apple's CEO can't afford petrol... But after all, his annual salary is like 1 dollar..

The colour of Apple is white, usually with glossy and shiny finish. So have some common sense, people.
In my collage all the lecture notes are available through class forums for free in pdf format. And only geeks would actually pay for lecture notes.
