I figured since we were talking about ME3 for $80 that it was obvious we weren't talking about the already established ripoff market in Australia. In the US it is pretty much 99% true. It's rare that a game isn't available for over 50% off initial MSRP within 2 years.
I personally abhor multiplayer games, I need to be able to pause and be entertained when my schedule allows. I don't think being nickle and dimed to play a single player game is going to be an easy pill to swallow, look at all the anger aimed at DLC and Bioware right now for Mass Effect 3's release day DLC
No, posting internal videos to a public site viewable to anyone is not a great idea. 1) You can't control them and guarantee they will always be there 2) You can't control who sees them.
Not really. If there were no benefits to moving to the cloud, because the same resources were needed, then these cloud service providers couldn't lower costs much.
The end result will be less IT employed and worse SLAs for companies. Instead of a single outage affecting one company, it will affect many.
I'd love to know how this is off topic, when I am referring to the article, or flyer in this case, that mentions people logging into a home based ISP may be terrorists.

steam. they have lots of indy games
or you can wait 6-18 months and get the game for $10-$20 on sale on origin or steam if they let them sell it and the DLC is still $10.

It's already digital files on the disc that you can play on your machine.
I can open VOB files just fine and play them direct from the disc

We host all our external web servers at a colo facility across the road from our campus. They have bigger pipes.
Of course. However the claim that the IT monkeys will be going away is ludicrous. It's the people behind the scenes that will be reducing in number.

Because those jobs will be concentrated in fewer service provider centers, requiring fewer people to manage them.
Isn't the point of the cloud to move all these services to central locations where they are managed by fewer people?
The IT monkeys will still be around and needed to keep your PC running, it's the actual skilled IT that will be losing work.
heh, or 000 in this case

They didn't even try very hard, when the item the big evil corporations wanted was called unobtainium. Seriously?
For Avatar to win it would have to be a good movie, and it wasn't. It was a BAD movie with good press.
Whether they are using a cordless one doesn't mean they don't have corded as a backup? I know we do.
a dvd disc? from the atm machine?
Didn't adobe invent splash screens for the web when Flash entered the landscape, too?
Are you suggesting they receive some of this price hike?

If you login to you comcast webmail you may be a terrorist?
You forgot something, eventually Apple will have to do what their users in IT want
Many people were scared away and will probably remain leery for years to come due to the PSN outages and breaches early last year.
Security should be a key consideration, don't have a crappy back end that gets hacked.
