apple will never unseat the wii or nintendo for casual gaming. They'll never unseat the web for granny gaming. They'll never unseat the 360 or ps3 for console gaming, and never unseat the PC for performance gaming.
as for mobile gaming? n-gage did it and failed. It's tired here in the US where mobile bandwidth costs a testicle and a spleen.
I have long since thrown out my commie64. I had roughly 200 5 1/4 floppies loaded with c64 games and other apps. I was hoping to sell them on ebay. But my parents tossed out the floppies a few weeks ago.
now all I have left is that old star micronics dot matrix printer for c64.
completely agreed. They're probably licking their lips at the thought of overage fees and throughput plans.
the real problem that I have with it, is they signed me on a service that was advertised with no limits, and I agreed to those terms.
Now that bit torrent is so pervasive, they want to backpedal. While I don't doubt that bandwidth charges are eating into their profits, they should honor their terms.
There used to be a time in America when a business would stand by what they sold you. Now, they do a 180 if the profit margin dips.
They want to operate without risk. I say that's a load of bullshit.
An awful lot of corporations are shying away from the free market and trying to become more fascist.
A true capitalist society would let all entities face market forces. The MPAA, RIAA, airlines, and now comcast want to force us, the people, to protect their profits.
It seems like you can no longer vote with your wallet. That is the death of liberty and justice for all.
I pre-ordered Mass Effect. I can say that I legally purchased it. I'll be damned if I'm going to install it though. I'm gong to wait for the version released by some cracker group and I'll install that. I just want to play the game.
When will these publishers learn? THE FUCKING BREACH IS IN YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN YOU DOUCHE BAGS! and every single time, your DRM is rendered a big expensive fucking useless pile of shit. One that I, as an actual purchaser of games, have to put up with.
I installed this on my A630 after reading the wired article. Here are some interesting features: Zebra, a live flashing warning of over-exposure limit. RAW format! Though I cannot read the files on my computer for some reason. and the Live histogram is very cool. There's one feature I can't really understand though, the shutter speed override. It supposedly has settings up to 1/100k but I seriously doubt my camera's physical shutter can operate that fast. What actual settings can I set it on to have the highest shutter speed possible that the camera can physically do?
He's always given me that used car salesman vibe..

Anyone who's seen that windows 1.0 sales video will probably get the same vibe. He just feels sleazy.

you had my thought before I had my thought. we must have something here!
go ahead and waste your vote and prevent someone else from winning.
I was just going to comment on that. I don't think Nader is running this year.
well, US troops are coming home with stacks and stacks of bootleg DVDs. I guess the MPAA will start suing soldiers now.
The MPAA is detrimental to me. It is a harmful organization hell-bent on damaging American citizens. Now citizens of other countries too.
copyrights cover intangible works like books and music. the entire government needs to wake up and smell the will of the people.
I'm an American. I don't infringe copyrights. Someone else infringes copyrights. I just consume media.
I left a ton of stuff at my parents house when I moved out and got married.
dumbest idea ever!

I need to get rid of that thing.

there are thousands of customers who were sold service advertised with no limits.
changing the terms in mid service is unethical and could be illegal.
and it's a limit on throughput, not bandwidth.
on my cable modem, the average speed is 30Mbit. though I've seen it burst to 100Mbit.
now they have to scrap the whole program and start from scratch thanks to poor training and human error.
your multi-billion dollar system is rendered useless by one incompetent employee.

The presentation was amazing. I can't wait to watch this flick!
This is what happens, when films stop being a business and become art again.

That's probably why he went so far.
He's like the Dick Cheney of Microsoft.
This movie looks horrendous. I will not be going to the theater to see this.
I find it insulting that they had live actors on green screen and they then painted that trainwreck behind them.
then we can go back in time and prevent Jack's mother from ever conceiving the useless piece of meat.
they wipe their ass. then they DON'T wash their hands. Then they touch their mouth. and they just walk around in the dirt with no shoes.
not washing hands or having the access to soap and fresh running water is how these things become an epidemic.
cholera, rhinovirus, and this enterovirus all spread that way.
I love being able to record calls, I love the call screening, and I love being able to select which number I receive calls on.
voice mail in your email, selectable ring-ins.
I love grand central.
Litigation is not a business model.
the victims of these law suits will file a class action and reap what the RIAA has sowed.
how does this smug bastard walk around not being hated by everyone he comes across?
I personally own several Linux books. some even on Linux programming.
Guess What Darl, you don't even own UNIX! douche bag!
we read yesterday about the PRO-IP act passing the house judiciary committee. Maybe the RIAA is jumping the gun here and trying to get their suit on.
how about stealing cars and shooting people?
MADD, I feel your pain, but fucking move on. This is clearly a publicity grab.
