companies like Google and EA Games

Google, as I understand, is a generally nice place to work. But isn't EA generally regarded as a bad employer that mistreats employees? See this LJ entry.

Throwing them away?

On: Panasonic Begins Blu-Ray Production

it is already punching out BDs with a yield of over 80 per cent - so it has to bin fewer than 20 per cent of the discs it produces

Whoa whoa whoa - they didn't say they threw any away, they just said that their yield is 80 percent. They're outsourcing their QA.... to US.

On: Making Strategy Games with...Strategy?

The closest thing I've seen to this type of game is called Infantry. It's a free online game offered by Sony at www.station.sony.com - very cool. Some games get up to 100 individual people going on massive maps. Each person plays an infantry charater, such as sniper, infantry, medic, grenadier, sargeant, heavy weapons, etc. It's 2-D birds' eye view first person with a lot of people.... I enjoy it alot. There isn't the kind of coordination you mentioned (generals, etc.), but the sargeants do have some measure of control. Hope that helps

Alright, I just HAD to do it.

But in all seriousness, I think that it would be a shame to eliminate an OS as cool as BeOS - I certainly hope that someone, somewhere comes out with BeIA-enabled devices. The media potential of Be's stuff is too great to be ignored. On my system, I was able to play 12 simultaneous mp3s under BeOS. Granted, not the most useful thing in the world, but it shows you what it could do if it were run on a lower-powered handheld.

Here's hoping that BeOS is open-sourced if nothing else is going to be done with it. *crosses fingers*
