  1. Re: MS will lose this gen unless price drops $200 on Microsoft Exec Says Xbox One Kinect Is Not Built For Advertising · · Score: 1

    Steamboxes will be cheaper than the other consoles. The hardware will be more expensive. But if you count things like paying for online, mods, backwards compatibility and steam sales, they will be cheaper in the long run. Valves problem is that most people rather buy stuff cheap and pay monthly payments.

    Of course you are right. He was a pretty good troll though. Just enough believability with his anger management issues and slightly misogynistic tendencies. Just the kind of troll I like, todays trolls are often pretty obvious. My phone comment still stands to the real Blogologue.

    Look dude, we understand that you are hurt because she left you for another. And even worse she left you for a "fat flabby girl". But your attitude stinks. Your kid WILL have 2 mothers and a father. That is a fact. If you go around him calling them "cunts" and all sorts of stuff, you will fuck him up, because whether you like it or not he will have affection for them both and there is nothing worse for a kid than having to chose between parents.

    So for the kids sake, man up and stop being a jerk. There are loads of decisions that you and your former partner must be able to cooperate around, so you must find a way to be civilized around her.

    And back to your question, the kid should not have a phone with him to kindergarten. Not only does it disrupt the kindergarten but it will also get destroyed or lost in a week. Even if he is a little kid he must be able to feel he has his own space, not being constantly on guard because daddy might call. Give him a cheap android tablet that he can have around the house. Then he can be in his room and skype you, without you risking seeing naked people.

  11. Re:Why? on Sailfish OS Gains Two-Way Android Compatibility · · Score: 1

    I was one of those that REALLY wanted to buy n950. I didn't want the n900, first generations always have problems. So yes, I know it is good. But they are small fish in an ocean of sharks. (or a fiat punto among hummers if you want a car analogy ;)) But why are you talking about feature phones? This is a smartphone, it will not be as cheap as a feature phone to make. MS might want there to be a strong third alternative and there will probably be a third alternative in the same sense that Linux is the third alternative on desktop after ms and apple. Quite frankly the smartphone war is practically over, android is the windows of the smartphone world. The only thing I see that could stop them is if MS aggressively tries to win the corporate sector.

    No, the problem is that they are late to the party and will have to compete with juggernauts like android. Microsoft with all their money has trouble gaining in this field. They will have a hard time attracting developers to their phone.

    No, Ps vita isn't the controller in this case. Ps Tvita has an ordinary controller. You are mixing it up with their other solution, where you stream directly to your handheld.

    Looks like if you want to play video games at the cutting edge, you'll have to go against your anti-sony faggottry.

    I play cutting edge perfectly fine without a console... if you haven't noticed, there is this thing called a "PC" which can be used for gaming. Not only that, but it has better controls for certain types of games. Crazy I know.

    The problem is that most 3ds-games have dual screen in mind so nintendo will not be able to ditch one screen.

    The 2DS strategy is simply a trick to get more children to play nintendo games. It is more durable than 3DS and no 3D (if you are afraid that your children will be damaged by that)

    The voter turnout is about 55-60%. That means about 40% doesn't support or doesn't care about who is leading the country. If a third party could swoop them up, they would win. Not that it will ever happen ofcourse... most people don't think they can change anything, which of course becomes a self fullfilling prophecy.

    Wp market share is actually bigger than blackberry at the moment. And I don't understand why MS didn't release WP7 & 8 as THE business phone instead of trying to break into the saturated consumer market. If they had done that, they could probably take a large chunk of the consumer market afterwards.
