Why would they need to introduce a new version of the Xbox 360? The HD-DVD player for it was an add-on, external drive. All 360s use DVD as the built in drive and as the medium for games.
Microsoft sends out 1 month of Live Gold membership cards to everybody who sent in their console relating to Ring of Death issues. I'm not sure if they do that for other repair issues.
I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't in the plan for a while now. It's been known that Starbucks would open a store not too far from another Starbucks (sometimes even across the street) to help drive out competition. Once the competition is gone, why would you need two (or more)Starbucks, unless the traffic between the stores was more than one could handle.
Alternatively, you could see if they make Sega Genesis/Megadrive to USB adapters, since you could plug in an Atari 2600 joystick into the Genesis. Granted, this was pointless for a number of Games, but the Sonic the Hedgehog games played rather well since all three buttons on the control pad did the same thing.

..unless the program requires a library that you don't have. Or the program was complied against a library that is a different version than the one currently installed. Granted, these issues can appear in any OS, but they are more of an issue for new users to an OS (or the less technically skilled among them).
You can always take the phone to a local AT&T store/kiosk and have them activate it. And you can download music wirelessly from the "Wi-Fi Music Store" and it will sync with your iTunes library next time the phone is synced. I'm not sure if you need a wi-fi connection to access the store on the phones, but a quick bit of browsing at Apple's iPhone site seems to indicate that you do.
The OS X version of Introversion's games are developed and published by Ambrosia Software. They (at for Defcon) use a different activation key so you actually need to purchase a different copy. The key for Windows and Linux are interchangeable so you can use whichever version suites your OS choice.
...the other day I was unable to launch Episode 2 because I couldn't connect to Steam, and that pissed me off royally. > That's the very reason that the games (or atleast Half-Life 2 games) have "Offline" mode. It allows the game to be played w/out connecting to Steam. The game has to be activated first, though.
At some point, someone will get an ODF file. At that point, you can say, "Oh, you don't have OpenOffice? It can read ODT and DOC files." When they ask how much it costs, hit them with the news that it's free. You're more likely to get a convert than if you go to a happy Word user and try to explain that they should switch for ideological reasons.
While I agree with this in theory, it should be known that MS Office will read and write ODF files just fine with the proper plugin. I think for most users, it'd be easier to install a plugin to read a file than it would be to switch their entire office suite.
Don't get me wrong. I use a lot of Open Source apps because it makes my data and work extremely portable and I can switch operating systems with very little difficulty, but we're talking about the average person here; not geeks like us.
Depending on what youre needs are, Seashore is a good OS X photo editing application built around GIMP code. It works like you'd expect an OS X app to work too.

If it was a new console, the serial numbers wouldn't match up.
Well, I certainly didn't expect that!

My biggest problem with flight gear has always been the UI. If I'm going run a flight sim on Linux, I prefer X-Plane.

To be fair, a lot of people don't care about embedded because no one sees the OS in embedded systems.
Until your ATM running Windows Embedded crashes.
