"But you can't just sit down and say 'let's make something revolutionary' and then set up a timeline and claim to be able to create a revolution within that timeframe." Yes, you can. It's called 'to Zune'. Look for it in a dictionary near you in short order.
You might as well as, "why do straight men prefer their women to have unambiguously female genitalia?" When you press a key, you get tactile feedback that your press went through; there is no question. With a squishy keyboard you just get more squish.
As soon as the manufacturers go bankrupt from the suits the cities become liable if they don't take down all their equipment. Otherwise, tiny shell companies could email out a bunch of copies of say freetype binaries with the patented hinting code turned on, get sued into bankruptcy, and then everyone who downloaded the binaries would be scot free. It doesn't work that way.
In our society today nothing stops a Gates from spending all his money on a project to dig a big hole and fill it back up. This would demolish our economy. See, I can pick crazy examples too.
You're skeptical, but it is possible in law. If I hire you, make you sign a non-compete, inform a competitor about this non-compete, and then they hire you away from me, I can sue *them* even though they were never a party to the contract. Bogus world we live in.
Jaywalking gets you a fine, not a night in jail. And yet the constitution garuntees you a trial that hinges on 'beyond a reasonable doubt', even if it was just a fine. Punitive damages are a a form of punishment that get by the much less strict: 'preponderance of the evidence'. In some states this may mean that they only have to proove that there is a 50.000....1% chance that you did anything and you would have to pay up 100% of 1000% of claimed damages.
I'd like to quickly point out that every single screenshot in the linked article was either CGI, or something that looked like an in-game shot, yet was higher resolution than the PS2 is capable of.
But dude, what if we are in a parallel world to the one you just described and in fact it *does* mean you can get a job doing them? I mean duuuudde that means I can be a String Theory Physicist
Check out some videos of the wii in action; you have the same exact problem as the analog stick: you can only turn at some predefined max speed. You basically get a little mouse cursor on the screen to control, and if you go to the edge of the screen you begin turning.
I guess I was replying more to: "a GameCube turbo with a pointer bolted on." And I was basically just saying that the DS certainly wasn't a GBA turbo with a pointer bolted on.
The thing couldn't keep a desired position of an arbitrary sword; the gyro feedback is about as advanced as the motion sensor on the dreamcast fishing rod (though it does cover each axis of freedom); it can sense when you make a sudden movement in an axis and that is about it. The rest is essentially arcade lightgun technology, leaving you with a glorified mouse pointer.
Since your controller doesn't stop in midair when your sword in the game makes contact with another sword, of course anything resembling actual swordplay isn't there. And if you look at the swordplay in Red Steel, it amounts to drawing gestures on the screen. Pathetic.
Exactly; if I knew someone who was murdered and I knew someone who slipped on a banana peel and succame to their demise, the murder would affect me the most.

Nope, the weight of the sails alone offsets that for the paltry amount of time you would actually be able to use them
I think you're thinking of this guy.
Quit whoring your lame site on any article that mentions games. If you have something to say, say it in your comment.
How about common sense? Why pay a million dollars for this keyboard when you could just scratch off the letters on any other keyboard.

Sure, you win. But keep in mind that while you found something anti-homosexual, it certainly wasn't anti-lesbian.

You know, to be fair, Eric Schmidt isn't exactly Peter Molyneux.
I find the whole thing hilarious: the first palm that had an IRDA port had an app for 'wireless email'
I'm fairly certain he was talking about Kazakhstan.

The GBA had no real 3d capability.
You're completely wrong (at least from what I saw at E3).

I'm sure 5 years after the hindenberg crashed a hell of a lot of people could tell you when it happened.
