"Just because this isn't on shelves today (near as I can find) doesn't make it "vaporware"."
um yea it does
"Don't strain your shift key finger there, genius."
my hand is a little tired from flipping off all the english majors who think random comments on slashdot are graded, and anything below an a+ is grounds for execution.
one could argue that point with any modern video game, where is your pong of 2011? all I see is sequals and what is new is really the same old shit.
outside of indy games there has not been anything new or innovative since the ps1, its the same slock with prettier graphics for the most part.
Listen I love video games, but I also am 32 years old and have not seen anything that made me say HOLY FUCK WOW since at least GTA 3, and that at the time was something innovative against the standard treadmill
Asherons Call also made me say that, but in 1999 I really expected more out of a social RPG than the now standard issue XP treadmill, and that only lasted a couple days before I saw it for what it was, pay us monies for a chat system and your standard issue DC, though I played it for years
so no mind tricks in pong and yet pong provides a mental reward in exchange for money... sorry I don't see how that is different other than being more subtle.
I was watching a old computer chronicles from 88? anyway there was a game designer talking about arcade games
"Its almost like inventing a drug, and finding that balance between letting people play forever and not frustrating them so they keep dropping the quarters in, is the key, just give them a big enough dose that they cant stop"
I am talking more along the lines of "we just spent a million dollars on all these nice new G5 mac pros and software to run on them" and the next year the stupid OS cant even be upgraded
not really but linux is a hard target for 1 average users and 2 developers
so if your making protools are you going to waste your time on 300 different distros, or are you going to tell the musician to compile their own, when often times things like youtube confuses them?
The whole personal information collection bubble would just pop already, how much useless data can they collect to try and target ad's you block or ignore anyway?
Like I said I dunno, the majority of "professionals" chiming in on this story are singing the praises of the macbook pro, it its impossible to tell what these people are thinking
You have to keep in mind Apple today is only about the cult like following and making the other person want that product for reasons unknown, if people start looking at alternatives their mind might open and you erode that marketing.
Why "professionals" love this moving target apple presents, its nothing new and it seems like every time apple farts you have to reinvest in all new software and sometimes hardware. Just doesn't seem "professional" to me...

That shit was in a pawn shop 20 minuets after it was stolen
yea cause IBM and MS-DOS totally didnt dominate the market forcing most companies to go bankrupt pre 1995
In celebration of Steve's death (which is a little late), or in celebration of off-shoring all those California jobs to china?

they never sleep in fear someone might say something truthful about their precious shiny toys
and a light scolding as he goes on in his career until retirement. pleasant thought isn't it?
so ever since Atari and pong, pretty much day one for real video games
