  1. More Money? on L.A. School District's 30,000 iPads May Come With Free Lock-In · · Score: 1

    So L.A. is gong to throw around another thousand bucks per student for E-books. California's spends less per student and scores less, too. Why not pay for the basic stuff that other states are getting right?

    Random question: Why are they paying for a electronic primary school curriculum in the age of free online Stanford and MIT courses?

  2. Re:Sorry kid on Xbox One: Cloud Will Quadruple the Power, Says Microsoft · · Score: 2

    EA lied about the cloud processing. Either hacked to run offline or loosing your connection, Simcity still ran fine.

    The bigger problems with Simcity, even more than the opening day server Charlie Foxtrot, are that they nerfed it compared to #4 to try to get a bigger audience and the half assed pathing agent which screwed everything up and the online saves.

  3. Cloud Really? on Xbox One: Cloud Will Quadruple the Power, Says Microsoft · · Score: 5, Interesting

    EA claimed that Simcity needed extra processing power to run. A guy hacked his game and it worked fine offline.

    WTF would a company use a expensive server for 3x the processing power of a middle level PC just for a $60-80 game?
