Every news item reporting Vista's sagging sales has been from less than stellar "analyst" sites, Linux sites, or Anti-MS sites. Considering that none of these "sources" had access to actual sales numbers or MS revenue figures, this isn't all that surprising.
I give this douchebag 3 months before he is disbarred. He's already been trounced by Chris Matthews on his program, and made to look like an outright fool on numerous websites. This should thankfully be one of the last times we hear his name in the news.
Any time I read about a lithium battery catching fire, I always wonder why the reporting sources don't educate the public about the inherent danger of a lithium fire, specifically the fact that water really isn't a good thing to be putting on it.
SCi Entertainment's Board believes that a release of these shitty products merely on the 360 would deprive PS3 and PC owners of the absolute crapfest that is to come. So, we're releasing them on all platforms with the hope against hopes that we'll be able to make our money back and won't be forced to file Chapter 11.
Spinal Tap fans really should pick this up - it's chock full of references to the greatest band of all time:
- The final level, appropriately enough, is Stonehenge.
- Kick ass on an encore? Your drummer may explode.
- One of the playable songs? "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You (Tonight)"
There's likely loads of more references that I haven't even caught onto yet. Good times.
Welcome to the world of wired communications. Judging by your comment, it sounds like you've never had a dialup or DSL connection. While typical dialup problems were noise on the line, the world of DSL is (was) a fun one. I provisioned DSL circuits for a regional (Maine through virginia / East coast) ISP back in the late 90's. We would often spend months trying to get Covad/Northpoint/NAS to get Verizon to install circuits, only to learn that either the loop was too long, or that the line was poor quality and they wouldn't install a new one. Often, it'd be ridiculous things like Verizon installing the line at the wrong building, or wrong floor, or the tech was scared of a dog and didn't install it. Some people don't realize how good things have gotten lately since the cable companies have taken the bulk of broadband control.

Uh, right. Go ahead and mod me down. Apparently "I disagree with you" is now used for -1 point "Troll." The bottom line is, no newb to programming is going to pick this is their first.

Who on earth would pick this as their first language to learn? puh-leeze.
Release date is 9/15, if memory serves. The reason? They can release it in September, sell a shitload, and then still sell a shitload more in November.
Barcelona will outpace Intel's "current-gen" chips by 50%, not the ones that are currently in production. Nice attempt by AMD to become relevant again, though.
This guy gave a conditional guilty plea even though "evidence" linked the yahoo account to his roommate. You don't accept a deal for 4 years in prison if you're not guilty. Clearly, someone is lying here.
Second, it's quite modular, and you don't have to use any of its features. Just uncheck them if you don't like them. Yeah, and I don't have to wipe my ass when I take a shit, but hey, I prefer to.
If I'm going to run a program and only use 5% of the features, whats the point?

How is this not a valid point?
but I thought this was supposed to be a video game console? Where are the games? Perhaps Sony's PR machine can tackle that one.

I'm hoping their amps can now go up to 12 instead of 11, due to advances in sound and rock technology since their last tour.

Superman could oxidize Krypton with his laser eyes.

So, in effect, if you want to send child pornography over the net, you should go to a Starbucks and use their Open WAP?
Right? I'm surprised MS would want to release anything in September if the juggernaut that is Halo 3 will be dropping then.
I'm sure at least 5% of Windows "features" could be considered "really useful."
Barcelona will outpace Intel's "current-gen" chips by 50%, not the ones that are currently in production. Nice attempt by AMD to become relevant again, though.
So, the headline should actually say "Open WAP defense not valid in cases where you have stacks of incriminating evidence in your residence."
