  1. Ah, good ol' sony. on Sony's Grouper Picks On Searchles TV · · Score: 0, Interesting

    Sony as a company are falling. I'm not being a troll, I'm just looking at the numbers. they're losing money. Losing around 40% of your company's value in one year? surely this is not due to, I dunno, arrogant management and sneaky business tactics, is it? I mean, those rootkits didn't do a thing to Sony. So what exactly did?

    Holy shit, when you make any successful site or business on the web, you're considered COMPETITION?

    On the bright side, Search "google" on the msdn tech careers blog. You'll find them laughing at Google for "horrible business ideas" and other misc. idiocy. They sure are eating those words now!

  23. I am relieved on Politicians Wising up on Game Legislation? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yet still disturbed that some politicians haven't given up.

    Maybe politicians are figuring out that you need evidence to prove their points. Too bad there is none even slightly credible.

    Another thing I've noticed... Since when has the Constitution been a "barrier" for these politicians? one of the links in the Article lead to another article (truth in ratings act) that said this:

    "should it manage to emerge from Congress as a law, the First Amendment may prove too big a barrier for it to overcome."
    "Barrier", in my mind, is something that obstructs or impedes, and in this situation, it obstructs "progress" in making a Government-controlled Ratings board.

    I'm so glad I have these politicians that care for me and my children, because I'll be damned if I have to see what my child is buying and to read the ESRB sticker on the front of the box.
