You're right on the one hand, although even if it wasn't a great idea, I think sampling out said idea, as it stood for what would definitely be improved on (hopefully) to become the full WP7 experience, was a good "beta" product for users to get. Still it's hard to see any benefit at all, as I have not heard or known anyone who actually got it...*shrugs*
I concur that this really isn't news, and I don't see lasting ties between him and his "brainchild." I mean this isn't Stan Lee we're talking about here! Why should he worry? He only just got put to Second richest man in the world...after George Bailey. (Atta boy, Clarence...)
Yes, of course. Only the reason this was possible is because of the fact that it *had* so many problems in the past. Case in point: When Sony released Playstation, it was great and yet they made a slimmer version for it for all three iterations! That doesn't happen out of the blue, you make something and then see what could change. Mind you, the issues regarding both parts of this argument, Xbox had issues with manufacturing vs. PS made them smaller just because...are completely different. This is the way of technology. Stuff gets better and smaller each time. YOU try to do this! Have you? Well, then...and by the way, please join us now in the next decade of the new Millenium, where the old rules don't typically apply anymore. Where's *your* next gen model, hot shot?
When I was in Jr. High, my science class had an assignment where we had to make-up a life form, based on the planet chosen's conditions and mine was Saturn. Of course my design was completely ridiculous, but the idea was pretty much close to what they're saying about Hydrogen consumption. This is pretty cool...I *heart* Saturn. "Pro'lly 'cuz it gots money with all them rings it has!" lol =P
Even worse, how are they to say their memories are improving? It may be just as likely that they are actually impaired by the effects and don't remember to try to breathe...
But the relevant question is whether audiences in the 40s and 50s would have laughed also. One hears stories of people running from the cinema crying and even vomiting upon seeing footage of the Hindenburg disaster screened.
You must understand the major flaw in this argument is the fact that documentary or news footage certainly has no similarity or comparison to a "gag" in a film. If we laughed at this scene its because a) we see little in the way of graphic detail; b) it looked typically surreal and finally, as again stated in the next reply, c) we reasonably understand that it is not real. I'm not sure if you're trying to insult the intelligence of our grandparents, but I'm pretty sure they could tell the difference. I'm almost certain I have seen just as many graphic encounters, though differently executed, in some of the classic war films as well as gangster flicks of the Golden Age of Film. Older generations were by no means "innocent and clean-cut" despite how we may depict them nowadays...
I really don't understand why they just couldn't reclassify the word or number in the language. It's not like it would be impossible for them to just change the word, letter, spelling or pronunciation. I tend to think that it would be technically more beneficial to not ruin their math...
Leaders and followers, the wise and the foolish...Education is never more desirable than when the sum of all fools is overwhelming. Get enough people in one place and you might have an angry mob to deal with, or a party if you can keep them entertained. I tend to wonder if this thing we call Earth isn't just some massively controlled study by forces unknown?
Wouldn't that actually prove that all this is going on with El Presidente's consent? He's buying the phones, they work for him! Honestly, the man has the largest network...wow! The richest man in the world is Mexican and runs a wireless company...coincidence? Texas better watch out!
Of course, but I really hate it when I see something that I really don't feel is that closely related to what the hell is going on in these games. Is no one ever interested in their friend's game, for instance? Everyone is always so damned selfish! I mean seriously? Are gamers anti-social? Then again, it *was* a single player "RPG"...:\
As in a 'Fargate' movie? Uh, I mean, 'Starscape'? No wait... Starfly... Firegate... hm. Mass FarFirestarflygatescape...uh,cube Effect! *whew* Maybe they should just make a mini-series?
I really don't believe this at all, despite what you all say, as I read in comments from the actual article...it just seems fishy and speculation also seems to confirm that this report might just be a red herring. I had speculated myself that it was probably gonna be around $120, but pleasantly surprised to hear a figure of around $80. Another thing it seems pretty funny to me that no one comprehends when they read "bundled with the Xbox 360 Arcade console for $299." My philosophy is, unless I know first-hand of something's failing points I keep mum, but there is certainly no mistaking a critic's ignorance...Final point, all the preparation and professional research in the world is nothing compared unleashing something into the hands of a few thousand evolved chimps! Time for this damned, dirty ape's lunch...
It didn't come with the system originally and many aren't going to be willing to pay $100 or $150 to add it...You shouldn't be able to buy one without Natal/Move. Then at least all new buyers would have it. As it is, they might as well give up now.
As if to say, "no one is going to buy another hard drive with more space" When it originally came out, without/only a 20GB drive, did it really stop anybody from getting a 60GB, 120GB or even 250GB now? I don't understand your sales/marketing logic...

Well, *clearly* we all do it just to annoy you. I mean the only reason a person enjoys what some consider bad is simply a mechanism created by writers and joined in by viewers to make life absolute hell for everyone who is a critic! =D
All this leads *ME* to ask, if the current storyline of "Dr. Who" wouldn't actually become a reality? I wonder about stories, sometimes, that they actually might have happened at some point in the multi-verse...What?! You don't think this story sounds ridiculous? It may be true, but still sounds a bit fantastical! Leave me alone, I have a right to my thoughts. XP
I have decided to let it go, but I was going to the movies recently at the Sheepshead Bay UA and parked in the theaters parking lot. I was thereafter given a ticket for tresspassing since I had failed to go buy my tickets in a timely manner. WTF, NYPD?! Boycott that fucking theater!!! -sorry-
I am now writing my formal apology. After reading much of the comments, I'm just going to admit, here and now that I am unfairly judging Texas. Yes, I have a biased opinion of the state from years of Military service, family ties, certainly a biased education and knee-jerk reactions to bad personal history, as well as recent events. I am struggling with all the talk and my own thoughts, but I sometimes come to the conclusion that it should all just come to pass. I'm not saying do nothing, do more! I'll take the stance that good or bad, either I like it or not, life is happening and despite the outcome, I will live on, as will all else. We can wish all the stupid gone 'till we're blue in the face but what else would we have to laugh at? How would you be able to say what was smart if you didn't have something to compare it to? If this is how it is, this is how it is...Be free and hopefully we won't kill each other. Remember the Alamo! (You know, back more than ten years ago when OZZY was drunk and pissed on it? C'mon, guys! You just gotta laugh...)
Now, maybe I'm overreacting and I haven't even bothered to read what the rest of the community has written, but this could spell doom for our country. While I'm willing to agree that maybe Augustus Caesar was able to pull Rome under his guiding hand by having the eponymous history of his nation written, but I also seem to remember it all falling apart for those guys just awhile (ok, long while-Justinian) later at the hands of a supposedly "inferior" band of Barbaric Tribes! Texas, you suck absolutely, you stole my mother's soul, made a ten year old girl cry and have inflicted this nation with horrible debt! I blame you for GWB. Period. I may be wrong but you don't seem to give a Sh8 about the truth, so why should I?! VIVA MEXICO!!!
Its such an epidemic, you really have to be *that* much more on top of your life. In a really small, but related case, I had lost my college ID more than a few times and security made me pay a fine for it. There are several reasons why, none of which I know for sure, but they got it just as bad as regular civilians in these matters...hard to protect lives when so many have such blatant disregard for it.
