I'm done with electronic petting since I've switched to an optical mouse and I don't have to do with the furballs that used to collect inside my mice anymore...!;)
Jokes aside, this article really looks a little bit too specific and out of personal experience. Won't actually make your whole life easier but just give a few tips here and there. Pretty simple ones too. Some are also, imho, quite wrong as with the dead pixel warranty. In most conuntry in fact, despite what the manufacturer claims, warranties have to cover all defects of the purchased product, and it doesn't matter really what the manufacturer says they will or will not replace.
Thank you for telling me CPUs can be overclocked! I thought Intel and AMD always worked to make my life easier and provide me with the best products at the lowest possible price, enriching my multimedia and internet experience with the best technology available! Now my world is falling back on me!
I really hope they won't tell me my precious DVD collection could be copied next...
It may seem a scam, and indeed it will probably make M$ some more good bucks, but I still do see some use for the Core package. For instance it's great for kids who can get the parents to buy them the $299 system and later manage to buy the memory card on saved money by themselves. I know we'd all mostly be buying the full version, but that's because we are more informed than the average parent.
And of course this will allow them to put on ads saying "Xbox 360: starting from $299".
I really do believe the $299 version will make them sell quite a lot more systems!
What I do like so far is that they have said virtually nothing; they are quietly learning from the other 2. On the other hand, Sony and M$ have over promised
They named their next system "Revolution" and you say they're not over promising?
And this keyboard will also allow people to try out some "smarter" layouts kile Dvorak allowing them to go back if they don't like it, or use it only for like one hour a day for practice, then revert to QWERTY or whatever you're using!
I really look forward to it.. or maybe a lower-cost version in 1 or 2 years anyway!
False. Please look at the pictures posted. It's a perfect way to have a direct reference of key mappings for each application/game you're using without going crazy or having to RTFM.
An icon on the pragrammable shortcut keys will also be very useful.
Plus as a nice extra they'll be able to make only one keyboard and ship it all over the world!
I've recently looked around for alternative games and found a lot of satisfaction throu "independent" developers/companies that produce a lot of (usually) low cost but fun games. No gigabucks spent on CGs and voiceovers, but good ideas selling for low price thanks to online distribution's low overhead.
True, sometimes such games are just more of the same puzzle games, but if you look around you'll find some real gems!

This is the most stupid thing ever. I'll definitely use it all day!!!!!
I guess the survey didn't include Mr Gates in MSN's users wealth.. or the outcome would have been quite different!
Did they include the people using Norton/Symantec stuff in the protected or unprotected category?
And a battery.
The link has been already slashdotted! I guess uncyclopedia.org is running on a modded iPod too?
This actually does happen more ofthen than you may think already!

I'm glad you didn't have a mother in law for the last 20 years!
Pterosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, they left no descendants and we don't know quite what their closest relative was
My mother in law.

So, as usual, please also use own brain.

Just who the heck is this f***ing Balmer person anyway?
First Nintendo patents insanity, now this. I don't know who patented stupidity, but I bet he is one rich man.
Not nearly as rich as the one who patented greed, my friend. Not nearly as rich.
How come I was expecting the article to be about installing Linux on the printer?

...the rest being flagged to pay Microsoft's legal costs
:)
With "the rest" amounting at $1mil, it's not too surprising Microsoft won!
Hope this way Microsoft will be able to find all the Longhorn features they've lost around!
Surely I'd be a bad betatester :/
I think that by saying there will be a "keyboard-saver" they actually mean to run animations...!
Ah yes!

I didn't know they had such a thing! =)
Now if anyone could come out with a Dvorak keyboard hack for the Treo, I'd finally re-experience the graffiti learning experience!
