  1. If the Wii is 'competition'... on Game Publishers Pressuring Sony For PS3 Price Cut · · Score: 1

    Sony should start releasing some old classics. Be it free downloads, chap downloads or updates to old games that people would jump on.

    Final Fantasy WAS a Nintendo title till Sony came along...it worked before, do it again.

    I for one would love to see updates to games like: Dragon Warrior, Battletoads, Contra, Ghouls & Ghosts, RC Pro AM, Baseball Stars and BaseWars...etc.

  2. Lower console price is a good start... on Game Publishers Pressuring Sony For PS3 Price Cut · · Score: 2, Interesting

    From what i understand, game developers are more interested in making it easier to develop the games for the PS3. Currently it is difficult and time consuming. This makes it less profitable for developers, so they have chosen to jump ship and go to the 360.

    I agree, the price difference between the two is almost the same 'for most people' with all the peripherals considered.

    But that initial price shock is enough to steer potential buyers the other way and that really is hurting the PS3's bottom line.

  3. Re:we should all wear what we want. on Are Quirky Developers Brilliant Or Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    perhaps i wrote that wrong.
    should have said, you could tell more about a person if they were permitted to wear what they wish. That not to say they shouldn't wear a suit wear one as often as you like...

    ok so i took 'formal' too far. but 'business attire' shouldn't be expected day to day.

    if you don't see people outside your own office... whats the point. I'd rather see the people i work with wear what makes them comfortable... house skibbies aside.

  4. Nothing... not here anyway. on What Features Should Be Included With iPhone 3.0? · · Score: 1

    until i can afford a data plan worth mentioning in Canada... Nothing!

  5. we should al wear what we want. on Are Quirky Developers Brilliant Or Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    NO we can't/shouldn't. Stop trying to change people!

    Formal wear has no place in a 'working' environment.

    big business meetings included. you can tell a lot more about a person about what they wear... Think about it.

  6. Re: Survey on Morality of Throttling a Local ISP? · · Score: 1

    You might also want to ask them what it is they are doing/using. Some Offices use programs that are like P2P and give them a red flag for throttling. These companies chose you because they can't be throttled or it will damage there business process.

    Find out what they are doing and you'll know who not to throttle and why.

  7. don't throttle...or throttle after 'x' limit on Morality of Throttling a Local ISP? · · Score: 1

    I agree with this idea. But I might suggest, rather than Capping them at a said limit, 40G/mo or 100G/mo, and charging more there after. you can throttle them after a said limit. If a customer reaches 30G/mo they become subjected to minimal throttling at certain hours.

    seeing as you only have 400 customers, the best approach is give them options and let them decide.

    They will stay with you if you are still clearly a better option than you're competition, and will like you even more if they are apart of the decision making.

  8. Periferals or Tools should have a differant curve. on The Realities of Selling On Apple's App Store · · Score: 1

    I'd be interested in seeing tools rather than games.

    More companies are taking advantage of remote access to their products, iPhone/iTouch Remotes will be a peripheral sale/freeby many companies as a added bonus. Much like saying you can buy an iPod dock for an AV receiver.

    These downloads will be dependent on sales of said product, not be subject to competition, news feeds or the like.

    thought you might get a kick out of this.

  10. Re:The Volt should be allowed to die along with GM on GM Cornered Into Defending the Volt · · Score: 1

    Fair enough, and a rather valid point... there are many little companies that would do well to have a piece of the pie.

  11. Re:The Volt should be allowed to die along with GM on GM Cornered Into Defending the Volt · · Score: 1

    Oooo very sexy... looks practical...safe too... Oh and don't forget great in the winter.

    I'm not happy with whats happened to the Volt since inception... but that doesn't mean it can't still happen.

    They need to get their family vihical on the road first. Than they'll have the resources to make the sport versions.

    Don't expect to see something like that on the road any time soon not in any number worth mentioning anyhow.

  12. I'd buy it right now as is if they'd release it. on GM Cornered Into Defending the Volt · · Score: 1

    YES. it is viable. with out with out the tax credits. but if tax credits are issued, the more will sell... the more on the road, the cheaper they will be sooner. not to mention Green effects sooner too.

    People would stop diggin your heals in to this car. So what if its not a sporty looking car they said they would release. give it up.. one day we'll get a sporty hybred that looks good, and is affordable too... but we need these out first.

  15. Sweet on Star Trek Fragrances · · Score: 1

    DAMN! and they don't use resident evil as a marketing angle?

    what's wrong with them?

  16. How about Umbrella company? on Star Trek Fragrances · · Score: 1

    this has been done. I'd like to see a cosmetic company release a product line under the umbrella company name.

    Now that would be fun to market.

  17. looking to get hit? on Small Asteroid To Buzz Earth · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else out there look forward to a day we get hit by something semibig?...

    I'm not talking end of days... but something big that most everyone on earth would be affected even just a little. Hopefully bringing us closer together... as humans.

    I'm not saying we can't evacuate the area's... i'd rather not see anyone get killed... but relocated, change the way things work...

  18. Depends on what games were talking about on Do Video Games Cost Too Much? · · Score: 1

    Wii Ware - No, Not really
    Actual hard copies - yes and no (depends on the title)
    Wii Virtual Console - Yes!!!They made there money already!!!!!!!!

    SPAM SPAMMERS?! :P hmm...

  21. Don't sell... on How Do I Put Unused Servers To Work? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Don't Sell. Unless you don't think you'll get the workload back for a very long time. You have a serious investment here... Have fun with it, and make it useful for the time being. Set it up to run any of the @home projects for now. Sell it all and loose your investment. Keep it, and you'll be set to keep your business flowing. I suggest Folding@home... seems to be the most worth while

    "What's the benefit of a patent for something that doesn't exist yet?" So that no one will make it... that includes the holder of said patent.

    It'll be great when the whole Keyboard will be able to use gestures. just think of all the possibilities. Oh wait, that's already been Done. Finger Works did it, and you could put that into you PowerBook... till apple bought them out... and held on to all there innovations only to SLOWLY AS HELL release some of those functions over the coarse of years! Bastards! just get on with it!

  25. Re:Comic is on topic Sphere OS on Oblong's g-speak Brings "Minority Report" Interface To Life · · Score: 1

    2 or 3 years ago i saw a little video for an OS i thought was called SphereOS....but i can't seem to find it now. It was similar to expose now. this might be what you are looking for... but i would expect it would have some heavy memory requirements.
