Try not to think of it in those terms... think of it as the formula below:
Hey does it run [ Insert open source alternative that may not be as good as a pay product but automaticially cool because I know of the program and I sound intelligent. ] ??
Just wondering I just got a new [ Insert cool ass piece of hardware that just came out 2 weeks ago and want to post about it because I think by bragging about cool hardware I will automaticially get mod points. ] and I wanna try it out.
I'm not sure if anyone has made this point yet or not. But I think the movie industry is victim to sheer laziness. If they were to keep up with technology and were to be more open minded to new standards (I.E. Digital projection) I believe that would breathe new life into the "doomed" industry.
The only problem with this is the same problem that always occurs when you find a new way or trend of doing things.. More automation, less human interference. The houses that films are shipped to for mass distribution would defenetly feel this. From what I've read the new format can be sent to the establishments via a secure high speed connection. This leaves those people out of the picture.
Their love for the almighty buck and the movie industries procrastination is leading to their imploding demise. I believe that is the main reason for this "downfall" that Rick speaks of.
"That's one statement that sums it all up: music industry's slumping sales are not because of the pirates, it's because of the crappier cookie-cutting kind of music that's being rewarmed over and over and over.
Hmm... good thing the article said the same thing as you said:
"Although usually termed teen-pop, the music of 'N Sync and Britney Spears is not unlike disco: Both are intellectually underachieving, cookie-cutter styles that have made stars of performers not known primarily for their skills as singers, songwriters, or musicians."

"Electronic games have spread the psychology of interactivity, re-defined narrative, and are a huge and growing swath of pop culture."
How can something so good be so bad?

So your philosphy is use an OS no one else knows so no one will interact with you or ask you questions on familiar ones?
