PS3 had plenty of games at launch (Euro launch). The only people saying otherwise were Microsoft and their army of internet shills. The funny thing is that I actually have a brain and recall how shit the XBox360 launch lineup was. It's a shame so many Americans have selective memory and forget these things.
I mean if someone cared about page load times, they would be using Opera, the ONLY browser to fully support and have enabled HTTP 1.1 pipelining, which provides FAR better results across FAR more sites...
The only difference of course, is Opera ASA don't have the bottomless pits of money to tell the wider world about these things. I find it curious that it's Chrome this, chrome that, nobody is talking about the MASSIVE bandwidth savings that Opera 11.10 is getting using WebP server transcoding...
shut up. PS3 gamers don't want hackers like that idiot ruining the system. Sony were protecting consumers, your pro-GeoHot (or more likely, pro Microsoft) comments certainly aren't.
If you want to talk about fucking over consumers, lets talk about Microsoft's "ship it anway and we can sell them a new one in a couple of years time" strategy for the Xbox360.
You just did a Motorola, and killed your smartphone business. You went from a burning platform to another burning platform.
No doubt your ex-Microsoft CEO had something to do with this decision, I wonder where his priorities were...
Microsoft only look after Microsoft, they don't give a rats ass what happens to Nokia, who by the end of this will be an empty shell of their former selves. Microsoft will have gotten what they wanted out of it (WP7 not sinking without a trace) and Nokia will be scrabbling around as a bottom-feeder picking up the pieces.
I'm betting 3 years from now, they will be desperate to join OHA (if they shareholders haven't revolted by then)
This decision will be seen as the key demise of Nokia several years from now.
Congratulations Stephen Elop , your true masters back in Redmond will be most pleased.
I'm overjoyed. There is no need for H,.264 support in browsers. WebM is just fine, and supported in Opera, Chrome and Firefix.
The next step Google will take is to remove H.264 video from YouTube, and then finally remove Flash too. IE and Safari users will be left out in the cold, with the offer to upgrade to better browsers like Opera.
They can't enforce it. It's so widespread. Microsoft's PR Agency in the UK have paid me thousands of pounds so far to tweet good things about Kinect. Of course i'm tweeting from a crib sheet, as I don't own a Xbox, nor would I after knowing what Microsoft get upto....
have got their army of bloggers to try and talk their way out of their mess and turn the focus on non-existent Android problems.. How quaint. Apple now adopting Microsoft tactics.
Unfortunately, there are still retards that don't grasp this. Sony never forced anyone to remove OtherOS. Ther moment Geohot sorta hacked the system, that was the moment Sony pulled the plug on allowing those systems not updated to access the online servers.
Opera is still faster and more fully featured for me.
I'm 100% satisified that Opera 11 (beta) offers me the best of ALL worlds... I don't have to suffer suck performance and bloated nonsense (Firefox), I don't have to suffer Chromes lacklustre featureset or privacy issues either.
I get a browser, I get mail, RSS, IRC, news, BitTorrent and a tonne more stuff, and it's smaller than both Firefox and Chrome, and faster too... It also looks the best.
And it's not going to get better, it's going to get worse. Android devices are getting better and more widespread by the day.
Microsoft need to stick to software, their hardware products are an embarrassment. Xbox, Kinect, WP7 all technical failures on a grand scale, the latter 2 being a commercial failure too.
Consumers buy what the television tells them to buy. Consumers are idiots.
Microsoft are spending half a billion dollars selling a broken Kinect system to idiots that are too stupid to decide on their own, and if sponsored spots on Oprah/Shopping Network/Whatever tell them to buy something, they will.

You realism the basis for this claim is an IRC chat log...
Hardly a reliable source of information..... Slashdot epic fail....
It's amazing how many idiots are replying to this "news" and just assume it's totally true....
You seem to have forgotten that bit....
and idiotic Americans that believe them...
Everywhere else Blu-Ray is going bigguns.....
and only a quarter as good as Opera 11.
Why? When Opera has such a better browser for Windows, Max, Linux?

50m consoles sold to 25m gamers.....
LG also had to pay Sony substantial damages.
It's also hilarious how few comments this story has compared to the original. Americans = dumbasses.

I care about tangible attributes:
quality
performance
style
features
security
standards compliance
That is why I use Opera, it's the best in all these categories, who cares what it's marketshare is. I also drive a Ferrari.
haha, and Opera kills them all.
methinks....
Brings a new word to Jailbreaking. I hope GeoHot gets assraped for what he has done.

1 thing I can't have for Xmas.
a working Xbox. The slim has just failed. No RROD this time, as Microsoft removed the display, but it's the same symptoms...
Time to buy a PS3.
Unfortunately, there are still retards that don't grasp this. Sony never forced anyone to remove OtherOS. Ther moment Geohot sorta hacked the system, that was the moment Sony pulled the plug on allowing those systems not updated to access the online servers.
If you want to blame anyone, blame Geohot....

Android is outselling W7 by 15:1

Because if it were possible to dig deep enough, you will find that Apple funded the report.

www.opera.com
All the good stuff (AdBlock+, NoScript, BookmarkSync, GreaseMonkey) is all built in, as is Mail, News, RSS, IRC, BitTorrent and loads more.
It's a smaller download than Firefox, faster, way more functional, more secure, more standards complaint too.
There is absolutely NO reason to suffer Firefox in this day and age.
PS. Give Opera 11 a shot, it's very stable, and is even more awesome than Opera 10.6x.
