Robotics is a lot like graphical photorealism/virtual reality. People have been predicting it for decades, but the actual nuance of such an achievement is much more complex than most are able to comprehend. As such, we're perpetually surrounded by the hype.
A better question is, why waste time reading an article that has half the story. What sort of "pundit" makes predictions based on that sort of information? The entire thing hinges on PROFIT, which is skillfully avoided throughout that piece. Assumably, this isn't an xbox situation, surely these devices are not being sold at a loss.
The "parody" pieces were rarely funny but stuff like the "lighter side of..." was always quite decent.
If they had a daily "lighter side of" (or perhaps spy vs spy) online I'm sure they'd build up a decent following and stream for ad impressions. Comic magazines like Mad and Viz (British) are missing the electronic boat.
The television in question appears to be actively "on" in the sense that the tuner is on and is sourcing program guide information in standby. When the tuner is not, the consumption is as claimed.
Suggesting that the testing regime is faulty is a stretch. As with all the other qualms mentioned in the article, you have to question whether the manufacturer provided a proper product, rather than one designed to pass, followed by production of one with "faulty firmware".
There isn't a whole lot of restriction out there for this type of practice in any standards testing. At least, you can get away with it, most of the time.
I doubt there are many people charged with testing retail devices to see if energy star compliance is maintained. I'd guess that was the major problem.
The person who puts these articles up can often be found posting this type of piece to incite furor. If you've ever wondered why an article was posted, chances are, you're wondering about a kdawson post.
I am joking. When I read the article I thought back to the bit where one of the guys in the ship is looking at the matrix visualisation and making out like he could read and translate the scrolling data just as if he were watching television.
Shame the wii retro console titles don't have any graphical filter work done on them. Depending on your loyalty to bad graphics, I found it difficult to commit to playing Donkey Kong Country with such awful pixelation (regular large lcd tv) when I could just as easily play the superior, smoothed (via emulator) and very functional version on my xbox 1.
I think that Nintendo sold us short on that (rather than the idea that they the left it that way for the purists). I'd rather play DKC on a nintendo but the difference is massive and stays in line with my impression of the Wii. Which is, that it is a console dominated by mediocre exploitation of the mainstream crowd it has sucked in. The amount of truly horrendous (and non functional) software out there for the Wii is staggering. Once upon a time, you couldn't put a game out if Nintendo didn't think it was up to scratch.
If you put a lot of effort into making videos and then go slap on some copyrighted music over the top of it, you are a fool and you should not be surprised that your video had an expiry date.
Exactly. Time to protect the children. The only way to do this is to make abortion mandatory and seal up all vag. That way, instead of pursing the pedophiles, we can cut off the source.

You should convert that pig to delicious bacon before it escapes.

The generals population of AI is the Data, or Terminator. Some how superior to us humans who will not make mistakes.
Clever use of first sentence to invalidate second :-)

Totally in agreement with you, except the fact that you miss the most crucial part of their ads - their interest free terms.
That the Wii version comes with an extra special DRM style handcuff nunchuk. Can't wait.

Outsourcing my mod points.

Good idea, by the way.
Hah, I pay that, sir.

Make sure you put velcro on your tool bag - they've been known to float away.
you would be aware that not only should Earth-like planets exist but that a significant number of them are older
Haha, foolish human. Everybody knows that Earth holds the record for the oldest planet at a 6000 years.

typically I play a demo after I own the game, so figure out where I fit in your slashmarket research.
You would fit quite comfortably in the "fucking mystifying" category :-)

.. to the point where it is easier to filter the entire pipe rather than having the sites taken down?
Just as a side note, it occurs to me now that he hadn't placed any cars on the tracks, so perhaps that was the problem.

One has to wonder if this is going to have any effect on the games industry.
No kidding. I've been furiously working on quake skins of my folks in the days since this came to light.
Dad, meet, the "shambler".
That'll teach them for taking away my red stapler.
