I'm a self-professed PC elitist. I've run through about every console system that's out there or been (I miss the Dreamcast, dammit..And the Saturn, oddly, but that was a Spring Break one-night-stand with itching and burning as the result), but I already have a kick-ass gaming rig, thanks! I like the idea of another choice among the Big Three, though.
Now... Am I the only person that would like to see a "Steam Games" sectional next to Nintendo and Sony in stores, though? I still like physical media, in some regard; I can't be the only one.
I tried telling my iPhone that it was highly favoured with the Lord, and, behold, it shall conceive in its womb, and bring forth a son. Unfortunately, nothing happened. Maybe I should have more clearly enunciated?
Facebook is the assisted-suicide App, actually. It's the Anti-Suicide Hotline, where you can always guarantee someone'll be glad to tell you how your life sucks.
I couldn't mod this comment high enough, had I the points. Unfortunately, cynic that I am, I'm going to assume that the bulk of people doing the self-diagnosing are either already hypochondriacs or susceptible to becoming one.
I've simply seen too many instances (personally and professionally, both IT and elsewhere) where self-diagnosis has caused even greater difficulties, to the point where it's best left to an independent set of eyes.
As long as people don't like/trust doctors, or paying the high bills, there will always be serious interest in self-diagnosis. Smartphones do nothing to add to it, aside from allowing a portable search engine to plug symptoms into. Instant gratification.
On the plus side, this'll likely increase the amount of reported deaths caused by self-treatment, because "ZOMG Technology is EVOL!"
Methinks he's referring to your implication that Microsoft having the "best" mobile platform is laughable, at best. Sort of like saying RIM has the best management team, bar-none.
Hopefully Xbox 720 will have better ventilation for cooling! Microsoft should have recalled all the xbox360's because they were not designed properly.
I have to laugh whenever someone tries to bring up the RROD issues. I've had ONE bulky Jasper XBOX360 for several years, which has gotten near-constant usage, and never once have I had an overheating/RROD issue.
Maybe if people didn't wrap them in blankets and shove them into dust-filled corners of entertainment systems with barely an inch on any side to breathe, they wouldn't have issues?
How is it plagiarism to say a corporation will find another way to fleece its customers? I have to agree with the AC below, on this one. Is it "ZOMG!plagiarizm!" if one wasn't aware of it ahead of time? Some have better things to do than monitor the Twatterverse.
Although the site was asked by the poster herself to remove the post, it refused
Sounds like she's learned a hard lesson in "think before you speak".
Ech. Have you ever read anything that passes for a "review" on RipOffReport.com? I don't think anyone has ever "thought before they spoke" in that place, if the rampant abuse that the English language takes in most of those reviews.
I planned on getting rich by now. It didn't happen, I guess something changed.
I think you'll find there are lots of examples of companies planning to do something and then changing their mind. Not sure any of it is newsworthy...
Wait, so it's news when Company X decides to save money by going with an industry standard with a cushy deal? (which, really, why else does Apple do anything if they can't save money, but hike the price while gimping functionality? - waits for the neg. mod points - )
Now that Nintendo is sitting on a gold-mine from their avalanche of Wii-profits (debatable), and PETA, quickly losing grips on reality (truth), they have to find some way to stay current.
So, with the high-profile release of ANOTHER F'ING MARIO GAME, they throw themselves into it.
Also, dumbass me thought it was released in '93.' No idea why I was 3+ years late.
Seriously, the whole point of having multiple DEs is that you can pick the one you want. If your users can't figure out (insert anything here), don't use it!
This. This right here.
I can voice my annoyance, sure, but at the end of the day, stomping my feet won't do anything other than wear down my soles.

That's simple: Block anyone with a Steam account with MW3 and BF3. That'll take care of those idiots.

Someone promote this comment. Please!
Sadly, the word you're looking for is "enunciating."
Saying it "like it's spelled" is what got us into the issue in the first place!

Or /.

...Malware writers are using *gasp* coding to further their goals?!? Horrorz!
Since Cybercrime/computer fraud falls under their jurisdiction. Since about 1983 or '84, I think.

I can't believe DC or Marvel would compromise artistic integrity for a buck.
They're businesses. That's written into the Mission Statement.
Great.
So they stole source code from the older version, which is probably the last time it was useful? (unlikely.)
Oh, come on now. That's a little excessive don't you think?
Yahoo is doing a bang-up job in regards to destroying itself, already. It certainly doesn't need someone else to wield the sledgehammer!
Right, because everyone pays attention to the full-page-style ad windows.
NoScript would become SOPA's most effective tool.

Oh, yes. They'll get their $2. Once they send out their Child Labor Army and empty the call centers...

Maybe we could get them to give Mario the weapons catalog from MW3 and send him after Sonic.
No, no... That idea was tried with "Shadow the Hedgehog."
Nope. No one noticed.

Waiiiit a minute. That's almost crazy enough to work.
UIDs are like f-stops.
the smaller number, the larger the hole.
and the fuzzier the posts.
