Multiplayer: Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime promised us a September surprise [on the Wii],and I never saw a September surprise. Kaplan: I don't know that he indicated which year. Multiplayer: Oh, September 2008, I'll look for the surprise then.
Boy, this interview sure cleared that all up for me! Glad they got so in-depth with that question.
If you think having a virtual dog that you can touch or pet is innovative, then i suggest you do a google search for 'Dogz', or 'Catz', or 'tamagochi.' Nintendogs is just as innovative as porting all the NES/SNES/N64 games to the DS is innovative. In other words, not at all.
This movie seems like a completely overhyped, overblown, piece of crap. Wow! people acted in front a green screen?! Give em a goddamn academy award, since no one has EVER done that before. Give me a fucking break. All the reviewers are pissing themselves over this movie, acting like the same kind of shit wasn't done 20 years ago.
I will prolly get modded down as a flame, but I'm tired of everyone acting like this is some new paradigm in movies, an example of the future... when in reality, the techniques aren't even new or the least bit interesting.
Now, that I did not expect. I mean, so many-like minded people, so many people, who in order to avoid spam, are resorting to the same id!
I, and I'm sure many other people have been doing this kind of thing for years and years. What would be interesting though is to gather a group of about 10 or so generic fake email addresses that have been a staple of this behavior for many years, such as someone@somewhere.com, noone@nowhere.com, no@one.com, etc, and then have a googlefight tournament between all of them..... figure out which fake email address has become King over all these years.
Cash really large checks for doing graphic work? Works for me!

LSD Guru Tim Leary, Gene Roddenberry, and 22 others had their remains shot up into orbit in a capsule in 1997. The capsule was supposed to remain in orbit for around 18 months, then burn up on reentry into the atmosphere, for a double cremation!
I bet 5 mod points that Apple never releases a single.WMA track over the iTunes Music Store... throughout the entire life of the store. Any takers? I'll take the first 3 people to respond on for the bet.
Do you know the difference between the iPod, and the iTunes Music Store? The iPod is the only thing listed as getting.WMA support. I would imagine the Store will continue to sell music in AAC format for the forseeable future.
covering their asses over what? that implies they did something wrong. I dont see how they did. The only people that fucked up are amazon for the Sin City thing, which really has little to do with this discussion, other than it was a rumored name.
Actually, Andrew Meggs, the one man team who was doing the Mac port of Half Life, got Mac & PC networking working just fine, and got it into beta relatively quickly. That is actually what scared Valve. They realized they couldn't just release the Mac version and be done with it. If Macs couldn't play PCs, they could have just released the game and said 'have fun!', but with Mac->PC play, they would have had to update the Mac version every time they updated the PC version enough to change the protocol, or deal with the wrath of many angry Mac customers.
They chose the easy and cheap way out... cancel the port
It's very bad for users to actually use the better product (your words)??? Bad for who? The user, that gets a better client, and gets to communicate with other users on multiple chat protocols, or Or yahoo, MSN, AOL, etc who get some 'extra' data passed over their network, and lose a few eyeballs in the 'Oh So Lucrative' banner ad market?
I don't know about you, but I'm a user, not MS, Yahoo, or AOL. Trillian, Jabber, etc can fill a very important role that the big IM companies are not filling. If Trillian is hosing their 'Business Model' then it is their own fault. Trillian isn't providing a service that those companies can't provide, it is giving one that they wont provide

Oh, I'm not sure where you got the idea that 3D Realms did Wolfenstein 3D, but it pays to do a little trivial research though...
Nice Troll, though.

Here is a link to the CNN story on this from yesterday.

Apple: Let's go in my BMW.

mod this guy up!. I think within 5 years, people will be saying 'WalJobs' instead of McJobs.
This question needs to be answered for us big iron neophytes. Lots more cache? Exotic and expensive busses? Inquiring minds want to know
You are correct. Back then, the starting price for a VHS copy of a movie was ~$80 if you were lucky. Most were $90-$100.
Ummm Katie, those aren't licensing hitches... those are the licenses. Don't expect them to change anytime soon.
