This seems a little... "no duh". What if you lose the DVDs you had the info on before? Or if the tape backup you had happens to get misplaced and damaged? WHAT IF YOUR HOUSE BLOWS UP WHERE ARE YOUR BACKUPS NOW!!!
If you don't trust your Hard Drive you probably won't end up using this feature.
They are, I should have phrased it better. It's tragic that I can't understand wtf they are doing with their OS, BUT I do respect Android's decision to let carriers do what they wish with the OS.
I know that Skyrim is a really great and neat game but I will never play it because they (WRPGs) are the most boring genre I can think of.
But if they offered a demo you'd see up front that you won't buy it. If they put harsh enough DRM then of COURSE you'll just have to suck it up and pay the $60 for the game, right? There is no other option, you can't NOT play the game - what will the other kids say if they know you missed out on Modern Warfare 4??
Not really anything but a comment but High-Def texture mods look nice but they don't always improve a game, I remember quite a few for Half-Life 2 - at best they clean up some muddy textures, at worst they really point out how bad the underlying geometry really is.
They have made many claims stating BF3 won't be coming to steam - EA didn't agree to Valve's DLC pricing schedules and neither side came to an appropriate compromise. End of story there:(
This is why I didn't bother with Crysis 2 (didn't pirate or buy either version in full honesty). C1 seemed like it was a great tech-demoish kind of game, not fun but something to flex your computer power with. Then I heard Crysis 2 was going to take all the fun of C1 and aim it toward the consoles.
The first one was "stolen" because it looked more engine than game - I'm not sure how many people have played it past a few hours/minutes. The second one was "stolen" because now it's no longer built for a PC, so you have a sub-"standard" game that has been consolized and ported over - what self-respecting PC FPS consumer wants any part of that? The PC crowd is fickle and spoiled and if you walk around smelling like a console port most times it will show in your sales*
*Somehow Skyrim was the exception to this rule, how can you put up with those "menus".
It's depressing when my mom asks me to do something on her new Verizon Android phone and I stare at it in confusion for more than 5 minutes. I've owned a Nexus One since they were sold though so I guess it's my fault in thinking the phone companies wouldn't slather their layer of ugly paint on everything.
Android is nice because it allows the companies selling/branding the phones to do it their way.
Unfortunately they are better at stealing money then they are designing UIs.
Every time I see the word sheeple I honestly cannot take the person seriously. I understand it's a fun and descriptive word but it's embarrassing to use is it not? Might as well call them dummy poo-poo heads.
(This is how the Supreme Court ruled, they equated money with free speech)
I'd look up the exact ruling but if you can't be bothered to attach a name to your post I can't be bothered to google that for you.
I love the term "women still bitch about ___"
I love it like I love watching people argue and seeing car accidents. One of those things you look at from a far and cringe, muttering "that's gunna do no good".
"I'll give you my domain when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!"
That's what is scary, they don't have to pry it from your hands. They can pry it from you with a single line entered into a machine miles upon miles away - with no immediate indication of what you've lost.
At least when they get you're guns from your hands you know you're dead. (you probably don't know you're dead; you probably can't know anything once dead but thats beyond the point)

If this works like it sounds this sounds like a really cool idea!
I find myself a little jaded that I'm looking forward to this feature - so far one of the only good things to come out of Win8

Are you saying you could not figure out how to pirate software/media on Windows 7? That might not be a problem with the OS.

I still get that at my local computer shoppe.
For the love of god line break!
That would be the case if it was 3D. This is just stereoscopic, and a 2 hour long magic-eye moving picture sounds like a gimmick to me.
So what you're saying is we should..... OCCUPY ANONYMOUS
I can get pudding from a vending machine holy shit I love the future.
It's how I felt. I have a Nexus One and I think it's the only phone that can compete on the same level as an iOS machine.

I'd give you mod points but then I might be considered a pedophile.

China is a democratic country just like our elected representatives accurately portray the will of their constitutes .
I can't keep reading, too depressed :(
Oh yeah, fuck those guys rofl.
