  1. Re:Gimme a break on Merck To Halt Lobbying For Vaccine · · Score: 1

    I have heard most of the allegations of Perry and Merck you brought but never heard his brother working there. Could you provide a source?

  2. Re:Another Rip At Nintendo on Sony Hints At PS3 'Homebrew' Linux Plans · · Score: 1

    "Official" homebrew development is nothing new in Sony. Sony also had a simliar homebrew concept with Net Yaroze with the first Playstation.

  3. Re:Allowing PS titles on PSP? on Sony Ceases Production of PSOne · · Score: 1

    The person was referring about Nintendo charging people around $20 for an exact port of some old NES/Famicom games on the GBA and $30 for "enhanced" ports such as Super Mario Advance series. This is nothing new.

    The great grandparent of this topic ("Knowing Sony, you would have to pay for all the PlayStation titles again...") is just troll. Last time, I check Sony and Nintendo are not the Salvation Army that supplies old video games. It wouldn't be surprised Nintendo also will charging a fee for their "virtual console" service in their upcoming console. People would just like to stir some trouble.

  4. Fiting with their current ad campaign on DirectTV to Pay $5.4M in Privacy Fines · · Score: 1

    Their current advertising campaign is called Somebody Up There Loves You. Find it creepy when I first heard of the jingle now it is fitting.

  5. Re:Corporate tool on Microsoft Chided Over Exclusive Music Idea · · Score: 1

    I live in a similar environment as you. (psst...it is worse than New Mexico. It is the Texas Panhandle) I have seen several iPods around my area but you have to visit the local "higher" education areas to see them. Plus using the "iPod-like" wording makes sense consider it is the market leader and culture phenom. (I don't own one)

  6. Re:I'm so sorry.... on Ma Bell is Back · · Score: 1

    According to the SBC press release, they will introduce a new logo. "...the new company will unveil a fresh, new logo."

    Guess no more "Death Star."

  7. Re:Of course... on 'DVD Jon' Breaks Google Video Lock · · Score: 1

    In this article's case, it is PC Magazine/Ziff Davis .

  8. Misinformation on Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Umm... Firefly episodes were aired on Friday nights. No NFL football on Fridays. Fox didn't schedule any sports during that day.

    Only Futurama was on an American sports day (Sunday) during its last couple of seasons. Before Sundays, it was aired on Tuesday nights with the Guinness World Records, P.J.s (the short lived Eddie Murphy claymation show) and King of the Hill in early 2000's.

  9. UMD Pics on Sony To Release PSP Handheld Console In 2004 · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you guys care, here is a webpage that shows pictures of the PSP's Universal Media Disc that alleges to hold 1.8 GB.

  10. A Minor Correction on Web Site Hacks Rise as War Rages in Iraq · · Score: 1

    Just a minor correction. The basketball player's name is not "Rick." but Steve Nash.

  11. TNN, Nickeldeon, Star Trek, and MTV are owned by.. on Ren and Stimpy (And John K) Returning? · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that TNN is also owned by Viacom which is a key thing I missed on my previous post.

  12. Re:TNN gets them because they have cash. on Ren and Stimpy (And John K) Returning? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    TNN is owned by Viacom, the owners of cable networks like Nickeldeon, MTV/VH1, and CBS. Star Trek is owned by Paramount, which is a subsidary of Viacom. You guess it, Viacom is a media giant like AOL Time Warner and News Corp.

  13. Re:Well it's about time! on Nintendo Ressurecting Classic NES Games to the GBA · · Score: 1

    DW I & II GBC can be played on the original Gameboy.
    DW III GBC however doesn't it. I think.

  14. Re:What the GBA has become on Nintendo Ressurecting Classic NES Games to the GBA · · Score: 1

    Something tells me you haven't played "Advance Wars" or "Golden Sun." Both games were published by Nintendo.

  15. Re:Challenge for Nintendo on Nintendo Announces new Zelda, Mario & Metroid · · Score: 1

    Man, Konami owns the Castlevania series not Nintendo.

  16. Re:::sigh:: what about *new* games? on Nintendo Announces new Zelda, Mario & Metroid · · Score: 1

    So you want Nintendo to be like Sony and make many sequels only for one system till people get bored of the series? *cough*Twisted Metal*cough*Gran Turismo*cough*

  17. Re:Have fun with the PC version while you can.. on GTA3: Vice City Announced · · Score: 1

    2004 not 2005. Gamespot and IGN both say it.

  18. Re:Nintendo = no price drop land (good) on Xbox Price Drops to $200 · · Score: 1

    Yea, it is Panasonic and it is only a Japanese machine right now.

  19. Only Stan Lee's Spider-man? on Spider-Man, Star Wars and the Power of Myth · · Score: 2, Informative

    What about Steve Ditko?

  20. Re:Good, but did the same mistake as Batman did on Review: Spiderman · · Score: 1

    Well, in the current Amazing Spider-man storyline. I think Norman Osborn got "revived" while the other Green Goblins including Harry are dead as a door nail. Go to www.spiderfan.org if you want to update your Spidey info. :P

  21. Re:Why PG-13? on Review: Spiderman · · Score: 3, Informative

    There are some "graphic scenes" especially the end. Some blood, punching, and lot of Green Goblins laughing.

  22. Re:so, on Overture Sues Google Over Pay-for-Placement Patent · · Score: 1

    Actually, Goto.com (Overture) won the settlement between them and Disney. Disney had to take the green traffic light logo from go.com.

  23. Re:Nvidia might have a case on Sega, Nintendo Team Up To Create New Graphics Board · · Score: 1

    I've submitted this story to Slashdot TWO days ago and they finally uses someone's story which got most of the information wrong. The Triforce is not a computer graphics board but an arcade board. No, Nintendo is not going to the PC graphics business with an ATi owned GPU.

  24. Re:That's ok on Concerning The Cancellation of Futurama · · Score: 1

    You guys have to remember Fox gave Futurama a "better" timeslot for one season. The showed aired after the Simpson. After that, it went to its "regular" slot on Tuesday with no "competition." That killed Futurama and King of the Hills ratings so they moved it to the post-NFL slot the season after. Futurama had its chance. In my opinion.

  25. Re:Cheers to Squaresoft on History of SquareSoft · · Score: 1

    FFI Original? It ripped off the gameplaying style of the 1984 Japansese Famicom RPG Dragon Quest. (Dragon Warrior in the U.S.)
