I don't buy the not doing any thermal QC. QA does it's job, the problem is Management cuts schedules for one reason or another and QA/QC is ALWAYS the first to get cut because of it.
I was going to mod you up, but you were already doing good, so I thought I would reply. You are 100%. It's not the phones, it's the carriers, which in the US are terrible!
I own this game on the GameCube. It's amazing! You bring up a good point, would it appeal to Xbox owners. If they added some multiplayer or co-op multi it would somewhat appeal to them. BUT, make a great game and it will appeal to gamers.
Paying $10 for a movie is different than paying $60 for a game, that when you sell you most certainly won't get what you paid for. Plus, if the game really sucks, good luck getting decent money for it.
You NEED to get some grasp on whether a game will be good or not. I find NO reviews spoil the games for me. They tell as much of the plot as is in the manual, maybe a little more, but this CLEARLY doesn't ruin the game for me.
What's nice about Xbox Live is you can download the DEMOS of the game, then you can really see if you would probably enjoy the game or not.
The article examines the problems this creates for Microsoft and Sony, both of whom were expecting GTA IV to help boost Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 sales this coming holiday season.
As far as I know, Microsoft cares more about releasing Halo 3 this year than GTA IV. They are just saying it for PR purposes. I'm sure Microsoft could care less when GTA IV comes out, they have many great games coming out this year and early next year.
Funny: One thing that became obvious to me as I looked at these various Web interfaces is that data speed isn't as important as good software.
You think????
The good news, as you might expect, is the Apple iPhone. The genius of Apple is its ability, over and over again, to completely reinvent, from the ground up, the user interface for hardware, and to support it with brilliant software. Web browsing on the iPhone is a paradigm shift, a completely different experience -- just as the BlackBerry was, in its time, a paradigm shift.
The elements of the technology that makes the iPhone so different will find their way into other devices, just as the BlackBerry's thumbpad and push e-mail have become more or less standard on smartphones. Touchscreens and direct interaction with the Web page will become standards of their own sort because they've come along just in time as computing, both personal and business, moves to the Web.
I've stated this to many people who've asked me about the iPhone. Even if it FAILS, it's technology, features, etc. will be copied into many other phones.
I still have friends to this day, my age - low 30s, who STILL believe and say
- Apple computers costs so much more - There are no applications for Apple computers - They are harder to use - I can't get used to them - They use a 1 button mouse, what's up with that!? - I don't believe Apple computers aren't more secure!
Ignorance is truly bliss.
Today, when someone asks me what computer to buy, I tell them straight out, buy an Apple computer. When they spew that PC speech, I simple tell them: "In 6 months, when you're computer is infested with spyware, popups, and other garbage, do NOT call me to come and fix it".

Your responses and that website are the funniest things I've seen so far in this campaign. HILARIOUS! LOL

I'm sure the AI will drive much better than some of the people on these roads in Boston LOL
Really? I actually feel bad for you then, sorry.
If you can use your balckberry playing BrickBreaker and emailing the misses, you can surely use the Kindle on the hopper! :)
If you are interested in just your ancestry part check out National Geographic's Genographic project:

Less money and pretty interesting. I did it myself and was pleased with the results. Very interesting indeed!

Is the crime he committed in Washington or Orange County, CA? Because it "crossed" state lines, does it become a Federal offense? Interesting...
So the SWAT team got hacked LOL
Isn't it true, as you build an audio system with very high end components, you need better cables?
;)
While I think THESE cables are way over the top, I think only an audiophile would possible hear the slightest difference.
To the average consumer though, regular cables, even somewhat expensive cables should be sufficient.
These cables are probably marketed to a certain segment, the high end audiophiles.
Just me $0.2, which is why I won't go near these cables
What the Sony needs is a price cut on the PS3...
Tried to email you.
Look on Amazon.com and Ebay and small used videogame stores, sometimes you can find it.
Where did it talk about Ikaruga????

Ninja Gaiden Black for the original Xbox was an amazing game. It was also one of the hardest games to master well. The bosses were very tough. New photos were leaked for NG 2:

Looks very bloody and graphic! Can't wait
Really? How about that BR region encoding???
No thanks, I'll take less capacity over region encoding ANY DAY..

Does anyone know what tipped the hat? When was it "acceptable"?
Or in a room that's 95 degrees!
Seriously, you have to wonder what the heck the guy is doing?
Is he playing 12 hours straight? Is he leaving the console on all day? How's the ventilation around the Xbox? They can get hot.
Microsoft sending him 10 refurbished units?
You really have to wonder what his circumstances are in this situation.
I've had my xbox since January with no problems. *knocks on wood*

Verizon uses CDMA - gross

Everyone needs an outlet, in one form or another.
Granted the REAL gun toting maniacs have issues, but for the vast majority of people, they need an outlet in one form or another.
Some people lift weights
Some people do yoga
Some people play videogames
etc
One of the top 10 videogames for the original Xbox
Dude that is so funny!!! LMAO

Blackberry outages???

Twitchy fingers on a plane???
Wow, I'd be nervous...
