I'd have to say that I love the playstation. But it costs too much. If the Nintendo is going to cost as much as the PS2, i'm sure as hell not getting it either.
Ok, the ps2 is great. But, the X-box will be better. It doesn't matter who's making it, it just has to be cheaper than anything else and have good games to hype kids into buying it. It's how the market works. Remember how atari had the Jaguar? It was awesome, destroyed the Nintendo, but too expensive. The same thing happened with the Neo-Geo, too expensive.
If the X-box is the same cost as everything else, has the *same games*, but looks better graphically (plus has a "kooler" sounding name) it'll probably win. If it's 20 buck cheaper, it'll destroy the market. My money's on the X-box no matter who makes it. Survival of the fittest I guess...
If this can be done with gasoline this will probably work. All those gas stations have to do something. But... I was thinking about this a couple days ago. Imagine how much money Texaco is worth in land value. Every gas station you see is in prime location.
I like how in the Air Forces' new ad campain they talk about a plane that is the size of a bird on a radar.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, but lets say i'm a radar guy, and I know the U.S. *may* be heading my direction. Now, lets say I see a bird going !MACH 2!. That would make perfect sense wouldn't it?
I'm willing to guess these planes weren't too stealthy anyway.
So what does this mean for shoutcast? The guys at nullsoft who did winamp and shoutcast should make their own napster like program that doesn't have a central server. That would totally screw over those music industries guys.
oh yea, Gnutella:)
This is great... From the first story the guy is obviously angry that Tivo can get his information:
"they download all sorts of information, like what you watch, how long you watch it, even the buttons you press on the remote and the amount of time between each button press!..."
Then he follows this up with:
"I will be posting a log file that was saved on the TiVo to be sent to them over the phone line. Check back soon... "
The only way a media company can win is if their product is cheaper. Remember Beta? It costed more. VHS = crappier, but CHEAP. So it sold. This is same with this example.
Systems are going to be so kool in the future that noone will ever leave their homes. My kids will be obese and always playing video games. They'll have no social lives and never go outside. And you know what, I'll be right next to them, fat and jolly eating hot-pockets. hahah Isn't the USA grand.
I like this from the top of his page: Things do do:
Own my own computer (checked off early 1996)
Build my own computer (checked off late 1996)

Note that last goal. He's about 1 president too late for that one.:)
I wrote an application just like this in asp in about 2 days. But it was for credit card information and entry into an event. It's really not that hard.
I host on a dsl line. But, when the connections get too slow, i'll switch to 2 dsl lines (mine and my friends). It works, and zoneedit.com has that free nameserver/server swap thingy.

BTW, gt3 rules
I'll make this short and simple. If it makes money, It'll happen. If it doesn't, It won't happen *for long*

It's called Windows and a Bad admin. This is implemented in plenty of places...

That's awesome. Now I get to have outdated and nonexisting drivers for my motherboard from nvidia instead of just this goofy video card!

This has already been done.
This was a great idea IN 1987!
I had a powerglove and it sucked. Mike Tyson was no easier to beat with or without the glove.
And what really pissed me off was that you had to have some book for it, which I lost of course. If this has no book, i'm set.
"Merrill Lynch estimates that Microsoft will lose $800 million on Xbox in the next fiscal year. "
DAMN!, how about Microsoft just give a country 1% of that, and they'll be set for life.
But I hear those graphics are sweet. I'm gonna go drive my big car to the store, buy it on a credit card, and polish my big american gun.
"Security - Logitech Wireless Mice & Keyboards Can Be Sniffed"
Lets say it's 50 years ago. This title would be damned funny.
(people are smelling robotic mice and wooden keys it's a security risk.)
My questions is Why anyone would want to cheat SETI? I could just see the guy now:
"LOOK! i'm high on the hours list with 31337 years of data done on my computer for SETI. I RULE! Oh god, I wish I were dead..."

"especially well suited to non-experts in that field. "
Non-expert in the field. I'd be scared to meet the *expert* in the field.
Don't you find it ironic that he died in an airplane crash. That's like me dying in a 20 mph mo-ped wreck after getting off my R1.
Yea, A Better technology is going to be supported, while a weak technology Is having help dying. This is actually good.
