I am sure we will see a lot of back pedaling, self-promotional spin about DRM's 'new-value' now. Too funny that these fucks locked themselves out of their own product.
Then again its not even their product, i think this is just another device that they are going to pump and dump via a stavation diet, like webtv, ultimatetv, tabletpc, media center, etc. This zune must fill some wallstreet hunger for them to do something. Obvious that toshiba (or who ever actually invented the device) had it anyways.
On the note of the $60 controller, does an other controller do what that (those) controllers do?
Anyone see that Zelda fishing demo? That movement is unique. Imagine what a 3rd party controller will do. Ummm, its a little more than making a PS2/XBOX/N64-Clone controller I am sure.
Dynamic civilian alerts are a smart idea. It makes sense to be able to broadcast a message over an ubran area. messing with the technology in some respect is smart as well.
Windows has thoughlessly consistent UI. If I am in a wordprocessor and use a menu item 'open file' and get a dialog to hunt and peck through my file system. then i click the application. often the application takes for the foreground and the dialog is pushed to the depths (got forbid you have auto window raising).
this doesnt happen in windows, dialog boxes are part of the applicaion, unlike a mdi window it can move outside of the confines of the application height/width, but stay at the level for the application.
on top of that usually you can open another 'open file' menu because someone was a knob programmer so now your basically looking at killing your app to get it restarted.
yes i open a lot of bugzilla tickets, does me no good though.
As I scroll down from your post, you can see its true. Everyone has their little XML::RSS factory humming along griding off the same feeds... oh Ajax too.
But as of yet your right, there isn't a need for google.com/ig (or someone else) to do all this for me. But I think most people really like that 'start/home page'. I wonder how many people still have http://www.apple.com/startpage or whatever the oem is for their homepage. If that number is big, then switching that page to google.com/ig (they might lack a thunderbird and use yahooMail or gMail instead from from their portal page). That doesn't seem too awful. I cannot account why we need a the insane number of home brew ones though.
However the homebrew version of news.google.com for your own portal (the 911source thing) is interesting. Where you for the lack of a better word 'value add' your content with someone else's is 'interesting', sort of like 'content rich ads' are interesting.
Yeah, I am pretty sure the ITMS (and similar) music margins are so low that they really don't make much if any money off it. It has a nice steady pace to it in numbers (by track, how can that not be huge) and the number of 'tracks downloaded' has to be insane with podcasts if that is included.
In the end its just a value add to the apple products and their brand long term.
OO is a nice proof of concept, but its moving anywhere. Its not even comparable with MSWorks or Office97, sure it has a lot of dense high tech bling here and there, but its also bloated and suffered greatly from being too much too soon.
"I have to respectfully disagree. "Very good" based on what grounds? He wore threatening make-up? I mean that's the only way I could tell he was bad. He had practically 0 dialog and his character was puddle shallow. Yeah he looked menacing... and that was it."
1) they screwed the DM fight scenes up, if you watch a continuous fight like this (even with the c.method) its ten times more DM chops. If you watch the movie its FOUR cut scenes back and forth for way too long during this video. So long that you get a (oh yeah these guys are fighting aren't they).
2) The Darth Maul book really does a good job of explaining DM to us (of course) but in the end of the book we don't know anything about him. I think the book just gave us hints that visually could have worked in the book. The man is just "all out" a small scene with him doing something meditating, training, humming "she'll be coming around the mountain when she comes", or something would have tipped the balance to him being "mysterious" and not ignored. A lot of kung-fo movies do this in just a few seconds.
3) Even the "duel of fates" music video that mtv showed (and was on a game) showed enough DM to make people go crazy. It had that awesome verbiage that doesn't appear in the movie.
They should put in a rep+web of trust system right now, but the system shouldn't limit someone until the rep system as a time for it to saturate a large number of its users. They really need to be able to express the data on users and their change management relationships.
If you have a change to my document. We need to have a way of saying 'i agree' and 'i defer to your judgment', etc.
At the price they want its not providing me a unique or value added service to warrant it. The roll out sucks, they still lack a delivery mechanism that makes it gee-wiz as well. I basically want my money back from the one purchase I made.
If they had an itunes-like client I already used which could download at bittorrent or even segmented multi-part speeds. I would be all over it.
Yeah, ebay is a perfect example of how youtube could fail. Ebay is basically done with innovating and are just shaving more and more metal off each coin it seems.
The place has the same usability staff as myspace.

So what if Vista supports ipv4 and ipv6, that doesn't mean its going to have ipv6 flipped on. Didn't win98 support ipv6 with some sort of install from MS to network control panel?
I can sort of sum things up with 'lfm ubrs, need healer and key' how many guilds, entire guilds don't have a key. How many people don't know what the 'key' everyone is whining about is used for or what it does (how many don't know when to use it during the rend event). Its just a place to blast through, get your tier0 stuff, deflector and get out. How many people won't touch BRD or LBRS without being 60 and have the same basic group they would to take down the Baron.
The game has a population that at many times can be a PITA to deal with.
I had hopes for the meeting stones, as soon as I heard about it I imagined something quite different. My mental jacking off to how it would fix WoW was a terrible let down. I assumed from one sentence that a 'ebay/karma' like system would evolve "A++ tanking" "knows scholo pulls"
I quit the game a while ago during the Nax testing. I have been a healbot (with a warlock for kicks) and had the displeasure of seeing it all on various servers first hand.
The game needs a social order to it. The ezbuild tyrannt guild system is broken. People do so much and spend so much creative energy in their guilds blizzard isn't making it easy for them.
There are a lot of Amiga and c64s inuse in Europe (no offense or slight to those wonderful people) and a large market of clone components and an insane amount of software. I personally know someone with a 60gb hard drive on a TI that actively uses it.
Why not just spend a few hundred and get a eMachine and be light years ahead. No clue, but I am sure they are not crying amount it either.
I am not buying that at all. You hear alliance vs hoard community statements like this all the time. My experience is that is varies from server to server greatly.
DM is probably the best instance in the game as far as depth goes and most under played I am thinking. Very few people go there (minus your mages and locks, tier0.5 people, and boutique item looters, etc).
However just like people complained when the capacity was dropped for various instances, those same people never saw the point in DM. They just wanted to zerg: EPL and BRS I am guessing.
This is very true of the quests in scholo and strat itself where people just go there to get a tier0 item or skins when there are actual quests there. Though unfashionable now, the trinket to see the dead people and what not has been useful. Especially to get trade stuff from the blacksmith outside of scholo.
key quest is easy, just need a group that isn't all doing it at the same time with the limited eyes/blood drops. You can basically do the hatchery event with father flame and get your eyes for a whole group if the people that need the eyes loot.
I can see someone at Google explaining what the flash -> right click -> properties (and seeing microphone/webcam settings) is all about and that person freaking out and this crappy story is the result. No way Google would do this. This is complete bullshit.

Switch to DishNetwork? Oh man try before you buy. DirectTivo is much better than tivo+dish or tivo+direct tv.
Let us all know when you can do better.
