    I meant that someone needs to make Night Trap 2, since Double Fine clearly don't have the balls.

    I tried the groups on Facebook a while ago. It claims you can segregate messages that way, but I found any time that I included a link it'd get shared to everyone anyway.

    Someone dig up Netcraft, because we need confirmation that Facebook is dead.

    Probably just took them that long to get an invite to G+ so they could test it.

    People who count know the difference between "who" and "that." Now carry on with keeping your pseudo-intellectual bullshit to yourself, as the GP said.

    Many people who have an iPhone are technological illiterates. Ten-out-of-10 people I know who own an iPhone don't know what "jailbreak" means.

    At least around here Pepsi "Throwback" is extremely common. You can get it at pretty much any gas station, grocery, or convenience store.

    This would be a good analogy, except Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD was the easiest call of all time. HD-DVD never had a chance.

  22. Re:And Oh the Formats to Support! on Ebooks Now Outselling Print Books At Amazon · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, how do you figure that? By allowing customers to easily access and consume content from a site other than Amazon.com? While it still won't make sense from a strictly business perspective, I imagine Amazon is going to support ePub when they've got enough market share to run the risk of an anti-trust lawsuit. It doesn't make any strategic sense for them to make such a move before that happens.

    Kindle is not and never has been a general purpose ebook reader. It's a way for Amazon to sell books from their bookstore. Remember, Amazon isn't an electronics company. They're a software services and logistics company that started out selling books on the Internet.

  25. Re:And Oh the Formats to Support! on Ebooks Now Outselling Print Books At Amazon · · Score: 1

    It actually doesn't make any sense for Amazon to support ePub on Kindle. If it did they would already include ePub support on Kindle. Which isn't to say that it won't make sense at some point in the future, but it doesn't now and the Kindle lending program through OverDrive will definitely be in Kindle's MobiPocket format.

    You're also forgetting that, for the majority of books in ePub format, conversion to MobiPocket is trivial.

    Seriously, go take a little quiet time and think about it some more.
