Something like 20 minutes after MS finally releases a browser capable of rendering a transparent PNG correctly (about a decade after the PNG was released), they're gonna' sell us a new and improved graphic format?
Are they completely hopped up on goofballs over there?
They did this with the N64 as well. There was all this hype about their new controller. And if it wasn't for the fact that you see one of those crazy things in just about every hotel room on earth, nobody would remember it at all, least of all Nintendo, it would seem.
That time, they apparently believed their target demographic had three hands. This time, it would appear they aim for the one-handed crowd.
Seriously, these guys are not really paying attention. Maybe it's so crazy that it will bring them back some market share, but I doubt it. The only people who will care is the slashdot crowd, and even they won't care for long.
I'm always puzzled to hear comments such as this. Here's a short list of things I think the Bush Administration has screwed up: Health care, the National Debt, the separation of church and state, the illegal and unjustified invasion and occupation of a soveriegn nation (Iraq), the environment, jobs for the working class, oh yeah, and the single largest failure on the part of the administration to protect the American People from outside attack in peacetime ever in the history of the United States. And the "War on Terror" is a huge embarrassment. It is already proving to be just as inneffective as the "War on Drugs."
On a more personal level, while I don't expect the president to be superman, I do expect that he be able to speak reasonably well and form coherent sentences in English, sometimes using big words such as "nuclear" and "subliminal." I also want to see that he can think on his feet and make decisions on his own. Furthermore I want to know for certain that he does not have a history of walking out on major commitments.
That's the short list. And for the record, Democrat or Republican makes no difference to me. I just want to see the United States lead by someone worthy of the honor.
Even if the pollution our industries create isn't causing this, plenty of reasons to not dump pollution into our environment exist. It's obvious, really. The debate over global warming can be a sort of smoke-screen obscuring the simple truth: don't sh*t in your own backyard. And when you think about it, it's all our backyard.

...when a low-tech one will suffice.
Or even: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Yeah, that's the one. Cards work good.

Here's another good one: EPA definitely full of sh*t
