Everytime a new toy comes out they test it first in the field to get a feel of what people will say. Although not exactly the same it is along the same lines. Casinos are companies just like Mattel is. And companies are in the business to make money. By pleasing the customer and giving them what they think they need. This is just evidence to show how intelligent the people behind the scenes really are. I went to a casino a while back and the same lady KNEW what drink I liked and refilled it for me once i was finished with it. Sure it is on a smaller scale but it has the same effect. And that is that the people at the casino "really care about you". Is it true? Yeah they care, they care about your money. Your money is nothing without you so they want to please you. And they will go to any extent to please you more than any other casino, because a free room and some drinks vs spending a grand in a day isn't 'a wash'. Personally, I am not surprised.
What makes the nomad suck is the fact that the software takes so long and is just such a pain in the ass that it deters people from using it.

hrm...hard to comment on this one i guess. I think it is real interesting. Napster does have a case, considering it really doesn't contain any files on their drives. But ya know...since when does that stop a egocentric, hypcrytical, sell out, over the hill band from suing them? Maybe people should get with the times are stop using Cds and realize that people will no longer pay the absurd fees that can go upwards of 50$ (imports, etc.) for a single song on an album that has nothing on it but dooty. Look at the Chris DeBurgh album. He did the song Lady In Red. I bought the album thinking that I MIGHT have a good chance of getting through the whole album wihout turning it off. Chris DeBurgh, if you are reading this, I want my money back you one hit wonder. I think that if you charge per song that will be more of an incentive to put out higher callibre songs. Is Napster going to sell out like Metallica did or Dimension Music? (whom i knew personally at the time) Of course...but only because they will have to. Napster was an underground program gone big. And when it went big, so did the problems. But I am glad that they have a nice defence team on their side. Because they are going to need it
Ok people, I can't believe I have to ask this, but are any of you SURPRISED? Comeon...China has always had a bug up its'... butt... for thousands of years. They have always believed in 1 'entity' controlling all else. Look at what they do if you have 1 too many children? It is not a surprise that they are thinking this way at all. We, I speak on behalf of the population of the United States, can stand atop of Mt. Olympus as gods looking down and judging ONLY because we have 5x more internet users then our closest country (which I believe is England). We are far more advanced then China in ALL meanings of the word. The internet comes along and spooks the fried rice out of the Chinese and we are surprised that they do not welcome it with open arms? Camaann....We are all intelligent enough to see that no one wants change. The chinese are just one of the best are not HAVING change;c) Nostradms "well, that's just like, your opinion...man"
