Sure, if I had to bet, I'd bet on Windows becoming the de-facto software marketplace, and Microsoft eventually crushing Steam and all the non-Windows game development.
It's worth mentioning that this strategy they're trying to pull with Quantum Break (console and Windows 10 exclusive, not available on other versions) is something they've already tried. Halo 2 for Windows Vista had its fair share of issues, but it certainly didn't help promote the platform, or gained any sympathizers. I wonder what possessed them to try the same strategy again,
Could this be just a fad? I find it hard to believe people will willingly shut themselves off from the world using some isolation-helmet, much less them replacing regular display devices. It's awkward, will get tiresome after a while and almost completely isolates you from your surroundings. Other than a novelty toy, I just don't see people preferring this to watching TV with their families or friends. Maybe your stereotypical basement dweller, but even his neck (and left hand) will get tired after a while.
The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain.... And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots.
Except they're actually doing what Opera promised when they switched to Webkit/Blink and are implementing all the features of Opera 12 into their browser. Even typing/. in the address field will take you to slashdot, like in the old days.
I'm worried about the footprint, though. Opera always excelled at using little resources and providing tons of features. Kind of makes you wish they used a different browser engine for vivaldi.
Where did this start? I'm thinking videogame consoles and digital media players were the beginning of it with their copy protection and locked-down hardware.
What's noteworthy about this specific instance is that Chromodo is made by Comodo, an anti virus developer, and is supposed to have a focus on security. I've never used the browser itself, but I tend to stay away from chrom* and clones.
Are they, really? I'm all for ditching Windows altogether but it seems the linux steam library is stagnant and has been for years. Steambox is a wet fart struggling to gain traction, the steam controller is an awful joke. On the linux side, video drivers are still terrible on both ends if not completely missing, audio support is an arcane paradox. I just don't think GNU/Linux is quite ready for games yet.

Michael Bay, please get out.
Around the late 90's, if I recall correctly.

Only software written by Stallman himself is good as everything else is a potential patent troll and/or vendor lock-in.
Preach it, bro.

Revisionist History? In fact we were told Opera Blink would NOT have many of O12's features.
Yeah, a few versions into the switch.
No, because it doesn't do what it's supposed to do and it wastes cycles while not doing it.
Which is one of the many reasons why Adblock Plus should be deprecated in favor of Ublock Origin.

Don't worry, the last metroid is in captivity...
You can't avoid logging on to google's services on android, no matter which program you're using. They know where you live.
Don't want to invoke you-know-who but is there a way to use a hosts file with either android or iOS?
Make me.
You just wait, Palm will put their BeOS purchase to good use any day now.
Maybe we should introduce the concept of parody laws into software and hardware. Like how MacOS is a hilarious parody of UNIX and so on.

Korea, most likely.

With Valve porting more and more games to Linux

Too bad they now sell these cheat codes and extras as DLC. The videogame business needs another crash.
But then you'd have to stay awake long enough to execute the cheats.
I'm stuck on Windows NT 4.0, you insensitive clod.

Good luck trying that in bridge mode, scumbags.
