He's shot himself in the foot here. But at least none of us will have to read his tripe, instead we can spend more time reading much better stuff like dubli!
Eh, I won't buy Apple because there's no freedom outside of the company and whatever they want me to use! No thanks, I'm independent. the HTC Desire looks like a nice bit of kit, I'll probably be getting one from DubLi when it hits the streets.
Wasn't there the case of that Korean gamer some years ago who dropped dead from playing WOW (or similar) for like hours and hours on end without breaks for food and drink? He'd probably disagree! Better for him if he'd played DubLi instead.
If Aliens do exist, they've probably got some uber technology that lets them hide. Isn't there meant to be some kind of mountain where they live in the NW of the US? They'd have better luck with DubLi, really.
the internet? And who needs or even wants social control, in any case? People will naturally flock to what they find interesting and in accordance with their needs and desires, whether that is DubLi, music, games...you name it. Hell, even LARPers have friends....
Strange way to define one of the most successful companies of the past decade! I fully predict that the 2010's will see DubLi achieving the same kind of success - you heard it here first!
But you would need to totally rebrand them to be cool, much like Steve Jobs has totally revived the Apple brand in the last decade. After that, you'll need to sell them cheap, possibly via sites like http://www.dubli.com/ to encourage people who aren't so rich that this is a great transportation method. Bingo - e-bikes are in!
Given that economies have cycles, this is hardly groundbreaking, earth shattering news. Especially when you have companies like http://www.dubli.com/ who have found a business model to sell tech products at superlow price - obviously leading to increased consumerism, and a happier economy. Why more people haven't noticed this site, I don't know. Even so, outside of that, it's good to hear that things are looking up again - I miss the boom days...
Why anyone still shops in that dreadful shop is beyond me. Personally, I always go to http://www.dubli.com./ I guess they don't "do" computers, but when they're selling new ones so cheaply I think it's just better to get the latest and greatest anyway.
Soon eBay's going to be old hat, a tarnished brand. Why? Because of http://www.dubli.com/ More and more people are hearing about this year on year, and few people are going back to eBay once they've had the DubLi experience. Think about it: eBay used to be all about the auctions, now it's more about buy this now and the general marketplace. Anyway, go give DubLi a shot - you won't regret it!
It's pretty much the way things are evolving though, isn't it? Just think how awesome it would be on those long car trips to keep the kids quiet by letting them play online games, and your wife happy by letting her shop on DubLi/eBay/Amazon.
I guess I'd like to use it to play any music I want, anywhere. Already got a SatNav.
Can't say I think that's such a great idea. Considering that more and more people are buying stuff on the internet anyway, it seems reasonable to assume that fruit and veg don't really need to be labeled as such, since you can view the price on the internet. And anyone remember those smart fridges which could access the internet and auto restock your fridge contents? They sounded awesome! Anyways, just look at sites like http://www.dubli.com/ and you'll see what I mean. The internet's a growing place, and there's hundreds of ways to monetize it. This is just one of many areas where it's diversifying and changing our lives, for better or worse.
But I confess that I like shiny games with nice graphics and an interesting storyline. That's not to say there's no indie games out there like that, but on the whole... (I liked Prey, for e.g.).
Perhaps minor gamemakers could form some sort of coalition and flog their wares on a site like DubLi or eBay which both have some kind of global reach?
Where every ounce of personality must be annihilated and replaced with a grey-faced, grey suit. Is this really the world that people want to live in? And this for computer avatars? Should successful web companies such as ebay and dubli alter their websites to be a dull, monochrome gray to enhance their responsible status? Should everyone be made to wear glasses that automatically make everything a grayer shade of life?.
Kind of depressing, that despite my satire and fun poking, this probably will happen. Individualism is not a great thing to happen the higher up in business you go, and the ambitious will follow these diktats should they think it'll help them up the greasy pole. As for me, I'm content to wear my jeans and tshirt and do my work. Doesn't affect it one little bit, let me tell you!
There's all kinds of ways to create power and energy, after all. In the meantime, I just like to keep up with the latest in gadgets - the only way I've been able to afford this is by going to http://www.dubli.com./ It's a helluva experience and beats Best Buy by a country mile!
Pretty interesting stuff from a layman's point of view. Does this mean that eventually my internet connection will get faster (because it's really slow these days) and I'll be able to enjoy DubLi.com without having to wait too long?
Essentially man is a social animal and has an inbuilt desire to fit in with the society that surrounds him/her. I'm not quite sure why an expensive and pointless scientific paper needed to be written about what is essentially a psychological and societal issue. Take DubLi, for example - it's growing because those who have used it are reporting positively to friends, collegues etc positively.
It's not exactly rocket science, just my 2 cents worth.
It's great how fast ebook technology is coming along. Can't be doing with the Kindle sinces it's too interlinked with amazon (and that's before you even consider the DRM). I'm hoping that if Asus get round to manufacturing this, they'll be 'open'. As in - once I put a book (or some other kind of document) on it, it'll stay put and not lock me out after a set period of time. If they do that, I'm heading straight to DubLi to buy one.
So here's hoping you're listening, Asus!
Just another reason to move away from eBay, in my opinion. Remember the old days when it was fun? Now it's all money money money money. I even heard they were phasing out auctions for those Buy It Now deals and similar. Whilst that's cool for buyers, where's the auctions??! Don't get me started on all the costs to place a listing too.
I've stopped using eBay, have changed to DubLi.com who have a much better model - and they don't use PayPal! Also, the prices go down. It's pretty much win-win. I'm surprised it's not a more well-known company, to be honest.
Slashdot Mirror
to namecheck DubLi!

interesting news like this is why I love slashdot almost as much as dubli!

A drop in the sea really - China's going to re-adapt as is Google. Same as eBay, DubLi will have to readapt for the ever-changing world.
If Aliens do exist, they've probably got some uber technology that lets them hide. Isn't there meant to be some kind of mountain where they live in the NW of the US? They'd have better luck with DubLi, really.
They should be going the way of the dinosaur. Dubli is where it's at, these days.
the internet? And who needs or even wants social control, in any case? People will naturally flock to what they find interesting and in accordance with their needs and desires, whether that is DubLi, music, games...you name it. Hell, even LARPers have friends....
Depends where you buy it from - if DubLi have it in stock it'll probably work out far cheaper than you can imagine.

That's a lot of Playstations. I hope they bought them cheap from someplace like DubLi.
