  2. Re:Wait..LOL WUT? on Pitcher-Turned-Law Student On Cheating In Baseball · · Score: 1

    Fair enough. I overstated and got smacked for it. I dont like the adversarial nature of court, it can make things cloudy and introduces ego into the equation. I realize its a big dance with many subtle movements and I clumsily stumbled in my statement.

  3. Re:Nothing wrong with Wii-U on Wii Street U Uses Google Maps to Create 'An Immersive Experience' (Video) · · Score: 1

    Every generation Nintendo loses more and more 3rd party devs. Its already at the point where buying a nintendo console means a rich but limited selection of games. This puts the machine at a distinct disadvantage in the marketplace. Add to the fact that they are being chewed at from both the top (PS4/Xbone) and the bottom (mobile/small consoles), Nintendo has a rough road ahead.

    The entire profession is absent ethics. They love the argument, not the Truth.

    Stealing a base is done out in the open and in no way can be considered cheating.

    Does wrapping up savagery in righteousness make you feel just?

  8. Re:Who cares? on Apple Leaves Journalists Jonesing · · Score: 1

    Relative to their income, they are shirking their responsibility. I didnt say its Apple's fault, but either way we want more money from them.

    This is terrible logic. You equating making BILLIONS in profit with just trying to make a normal living is a joke.

  10. Re:what's the point of itunes in search results? on Google's View On the Whac-a-Mole of Blocking Pirate Sites · · Score: 1

    Because not everyone has itunes installed or has a iDevice. Dont you think it a little strange they cant figure out how to sell 5MB files through a webpage?

  11. Re:iTunes on Google's View On the Whac-a-Mole of Blocking Pirate Sites · · Score: 1

    It never occured to me until now, but forcing downloading through Itunes is INCREDIBLY short sighted. It is this kind of hubris that will allow the competitors to consume Apple eventually.

  12. Re:Who cares? on Apple Leaves Journalists Jonesing · · Score: 1

    Apple has nowhere to go. Their systems are too locked down to fill the use-cases Android is filling. I say this owning a mac mini, ipad 2 and iphone 4S.

    Right, but you are doing it manually. There is no backup option in itunes.

    You dont think business should be paying taxes to support the infrastructure that provides them with the opportunity to do business?

    Hes referring to the fact that Apple does not pay a proper amount of tax.

  16. Re:Really? on Blizzard's Unannounced 'Titan' MMO Rebooted, Development Team Reduced · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Overall, DIII is a badly engineered game. It focuses way too much on a long tail of revenue. If they had not insisted on always online and a Real Money Auction House, the game would have been a better playable game.

  17. Re:Really? on Console Manufacturers Want the Impossible? · · Score: 1

    I have to disagree that Nintendo made a 'buttload' of cash. They sold way WAY less software, and thats where the console profit truly is.

    The very first thing i thought of when seeing Xbone is that it has the potential to be both a true convergence device AND a 1984 Telescreen. IM excited where we are with tech, but im disappointed in how its being used.

    But we dont live in a Democracy, we live in a Democratic REPUBLIC. If you wish to ban all wearable cameras, you are going to need a straight up constitutional amendment to do that, and I wish you luck. The world YOU advocate (might makes right) is far worse then having wearable cameras everywhere.

  22. Re:'Simple really... on Google Glass: What's With All the Hate? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What do you do in the future when people have robotic eyes? Wearable cameras aren't going away anytime soon. Google Glass is the very tiny tip of a huge iceberg. Assume you are being recorded at all times outside of your home. You may not like it, but it is a reality we live in.
