This is the start of the market's reaction to Vista, made manifest. Actually, this is Linux users' and MS-philes' (over)reaction to Vista. And they'll get sued.
The Wii followed with 259K--quite respectable but far lower than certain analyst forecasts, which had pegged it at around 400K. I guess this is the nice way to say "Sales dropped 41% since January, despite Nintendo's claims of ramping up production to meet demand."
So.. when will there be any new games released for the Wii? Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, Super Smash Brothers are all without release dates, with a few of these rumored not until 2008. I believe the analogy of the Wii just being two GameCube's duct-taped together is looking more true every day.
I hate Microsoft. Call the Waaaaaahmbulance! You clearly have superior knowledge about the Chinese culture and its business practices. Congratulations.
The network disruption comes as RIM faces a formal probe by the US financial watchdog, the Securities and Exchange Commission, over its stock options. And this is relevant how? Do you expect the SEC to fine them for downtime?
And when are these asshats going to learn that cell phones do not interfere with flight controls? You'd figure at least one of them had to watch that MythBusters episode.
They would? How exactly do you know this? China's businesses don't rely on domestic sales for their profit, they rely on exports. Despite the fact that you and others may dislike MS, the majority of the business world still uses Office. As long as that remains true, the Chinese will use it to accommodate their Western buyers.
I purchased dollar-store goods from Chinese manufacturers/sweat shops for a few years. Regardless of what document standard they may have adopted already, any correspondence I ever received was MS office format, and in broken Engrish. It matters not what their standard is if they're going to use MS office in any outbound correspondence to accommodate their Western buyers.
I beg to differ. Given that English is still considered the "language of business" even in the East, I'd think that China would adapt to whatever format its potential buyers use.
Well, yahoo maps seems to normally outdo mapquest, but that's really about it. 8 years ago, I loved their directory services, which has now gone to utter crap.
Plaintiffs included jailed dissident Wang Xiaoning and his wife, Yu Ling, who was visiting San Francisco this week as part of the group's campaign. Something makes me think they're going to have a really shitty time when they get back to China.

Was this yet another attempt by a programmer to make a non-intuitive GUI overladen with features that the average user would never touch?
He said organ. heheh heh heheheh.
...and the top selling the top selling third party options Ok, Rainman.It'd obviously have to be diamond mesh, smartass.
Sweet.
They can manage to "lose" the digital masters for every film Nicholas Cage has been in?
Ooooooooooooooo, BURN. Cry me a fucking river.
It's pulling shit like that erodes 3rd party support.
I've seen "news" of this everywhere. Why does everyone have a hard-on for NighTs?
"Wanna play with my Fiesty Fawn?" should never be used as a pick-up line.

I love you, Microsoft. Time to take on those Aging Hippie Liberal Douches.
Nah. I've dealt with them. They kiss ass like no others. Again, just because *you* hate MS doesn't mean that everyone in the world does.
So... do you work for Tose? or is it Gamasutra?

Nothing to see here. Move along please, eh.
