    seems odd to me that one independent game has over 5% of the total pc gaming market then? Minecraft at over $45M.

    And why we should have much lower taxes and smaller government and insure the government is never able to do a bailout like this ever again. Perhaps instead of taxes we could have bailout bonds issued so people could feel they were doing the right thing by buy the bank bailout bonds if they felt it was the right thing to do.

    Almost seems, with Google's search tech, they'd be able to have an automated process scan patent applications, compare to all others and, almost completely automatically, submit counter claims to every patent requested with piles of similar patents and prior art.

    The xoom plays netflix just fine now with version 1.3 that recently came out. I wouldn't doubt the g-tab would work as well.

    BSA doesn't actually care abbout the little license paper that comes in the box. Or the keys you get from vendors. You must have the original invoice that shows paid on it.

    Which is a win for all. Executives can't get bonuses if there isn't a decent amount of income to the company, there can't be a good amount of income to the company if there aren't high revenues. There can't be high revenues if there isn't a supply of something people want that can be produced for at least slightly less than they are willing to pay for it. They wont be willing to pay for it if it's cost is higher than it's value to the individual.

    Everyone wins.
