The Wii is only outselling the PS3 in Japan because the small stature of the average Japanese gamer makes it extremely dangerous for them to attempt to wield the phenomenal gaming power contained within the PS3.
"The overwhelming consumer demand and critical acclaim for PS3 is testament of the platform's strength and the industry's desire for a true next-generation entertainment system,"
Is that why there are PS3's gathering dust at almost every shop within 50 miles of my house and i still cant get my hands on a damn Wii?

Here is how I see this scenario working out, please show me where you disagree.
Company A is the only utilities provider for the Towns, and is charging exorbitant prices.
Company B sees the opportunity to compete in the market with Company A, and invests billions of dollars in infrastructure necessary to compete as a utilities company, laying lines to the entire town and creating their power plant.
Company A recognizes what company B is doing and lowers its rates in each area that Company B services to sell utilities at a loss, relying on their dominant market position and the capital that they have accrued while being the only shop in town.
Company B tries to compete for customers with Company A, but with the new low rates company A is charging, Company B finds itself short of customers and with angry investors who would like to see a return on their investment this decade breathing down its neck.
Company B files for bankruptcy after it is unable to recoup its massive intitial investment in laying down infrastructure to the town. Unfortunatley, as their assets are liquidated, they find that there are very few people willing to buy a backup power plant and backup power grid for an entire town, and their investors really take it in the shorts.
Company A resumes charging its exorbitant rates.
Repeat as often as there are investors dumb enough to try to get into the market.
The problem is the massive up front investment in assets that are worth very little outside the market.
Tell this to your local utilities company,they'll agree wholeheartedly because it's incredibly expensive to lay down the infrastructure to compete. Your electricity bill and water bill will go through the roof without the government smacking them on the hand. These sorts of things are natural monopolies where the cost of competing in the industry outweighs potential benefits to the consumer. There are very few cities in the US that i know of which have multiple cable companies servicing them, do you really want your only option for high speed internet access to have the freedom to determine what services (that they're not providing to you, they're just delivering) you have to pay extra to see?
The patent was applied for in 1998, I believe the first atari consoles had joysticks in the late 70s, and I'm sure there are earlier examples. The only thing that the patent application seems to have going for it is the specific use of CMOS fabrication for the circuit.
This seems to me like making a keyboard out of metal/wood/some other material not usually used, then trying to patent it. Am I missing something, or will this lawsuit go just as well as their previous one?
Or if i fire a gun at you from 100 meters away, and it kills you before you notice the muzzle flash or hear the report, does that mean I never fired the gun? Oh my god!!! I think we've found a way to alter the past!!!
What media center stuff is included in Vista for the 360? Is it something beyond Windows Media Player 11's ability to stream audio and (limited) video?

Uhh, is CRT a model type that Mitsubishi made, or do you mean Cathode Ray Tube? If so, 1) CRT and rear projection are two different technologies, and 2) how much does that sucker weigh? must be close to 500 lbs at 55"
Missing the futurama reference aside, They should be taken as seriously as any other liberal arts degree, just as seriously as being trained to ask "do you want fries with that?"
There are already plenty of those types of pills available, just contact your local "Street Pharmacist." He'll have a much greater knowledge of those types of drugs than your physician.
While i do like the idea of being able to use the same charger for any mobile phone ( I've actually purchased a proprietary adapter for my brothers phone to keep at my place, since he never remembers to bring his when he comes over, and we have different phones )
I have to wonder if such government mandates on design will prevent such innovation as Apple's MagSafe power adapters.
In America, it's also the butt of the joke... and to the best of my knowledge, Best Buy is only in the USA and Canada, so I'm guessing its a miss-print in TFA.
Or possibly an Aussie writer? I don't know if its the same there...
Come to think of it, can someone tell me if Aussie English is closer to British or American?
I'd love to see those signing statements tested in court. I'd bet that they'd get bitch slapped even harder than the line item veto did, since it's basically an underhanded attempt to do the same thing.
Thieves broke into one of the Corporate offices of the company i work for and stole several thousand dollars worth of computer equipment, including laptops with employee and customer information on them. All customers and employees were notified the next day and advised to post a fraud alert with the credit agencies, complete instructions on how to do so were included in the email. The company was completely transparent in how they dealt with the information loss, and to my knowledge no fraud was committed using that information. That is the only acceptable way of dealing with the possibility of personal information theft. I can easily see the effort to hide the security breach leading to litigation if the information that was stolen gets used. Your friend should tell them that it's a CYA issue. It's better to wind up with a little egg on your face admitting a mistake and telling your customers what happened than to have your customers sue you into oblivion after they trace the information leak back to you.
I work for a defense contractor writing simulation software for the army. In order to work on our project ( which is not even classified) , you need at minimum a secret level security clearance, ant it is mandatory that you be a US Citizen in order to get that clearance. There is no way any "Combat critical" software will ever be outsourced without a complete revamping of the way the Security Clearance's are issued.

Yeah, If MS would just bundle some ego stroking audio chat bot with Vista that told those CEOs how great they were all day, it'd be an immediate hit ;)
