  1. Hollywood is to blame on Death to the Games Industry · · Score: 1

    In the good old days when computer games was something new and special, I didn't have to compete against the movie industry. Since then they have been blending more and more.

    A result of that has been that game developers strive to become more like movies. And sadly enough, the players in demand realistic graphics that is at the same level or better than the rest of the market. Acceptance will not be granted without.

    But I believe that focus will again resolve around gameplay was the graphics reach a more stable level.

  2. Re:Wrong Way on Plugin Lets Users Turn IE into Firefox · · Score: 1

    I've tried them all!

    And believe me, nothing even come close to
    Avant Browser.

    I usually have 60-120 windows open at the same time. That can't be done with any other browser, not even firefox - nor Opera. (Runs waay too slow)

    I occationally use Firefox, but it's quite bad for handling many tabs (don't even have background opening of tabs) - so I always return to Avant Browser http://www.avantbrowser.com/, my number one for the past 5 years!

    But they also rise the minimum, that I don't like. Attract tons of people with the 5 cent promise, then almost double that.

    I had minimum on almost all keywords, except those i got worse than 10 in ranking.

    That is all changed now.

    Result? I have to pay more for the same service.

    >While I occasionally find the ads coming off of search results useful, I've never seen anything in gmail that was remotely helpful.

    I've NEVER click on gmail ads, can't even remember to have read any. Like I have a filter on.

    While when I'm searching, it's different - cause then I'm looking for info!

    I love google. I love their non-intrusive policy. I love that they are expanding and offer good alternatives like gmail.

    BUT
    their introduction of banners, and having to answer to stock holders have made me insecure.

    Nor do I like their focus on USA vs Rest of the world.

    Still, I wouldn't want to see internet without google.

    >What cash-grab? I haven't heard of this.

    No?

    I have to pay at least double for the same amount of clicks!

    Strange that I haven't seen more reactions to this.

  6. Re:Alternative to PSI - Yabber on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1

    I can also recommend
    http://www.yabber.org/

    works much like icq.

  7. Re:My own private army... on New Bill Would Ban Public NOAA Weather Data · · Score: 1

    >Not only that, but AccuWeather is by far the most INACCURATE weather service I've ever seen.

    I did a test on this 2 weeks ago, comparing Accuweather with weather.com in a city here i Spain.
    Weather.com is by far the most accurate, predicting 50% chance of rain while Accuweather predicted Sunny even the day before!
    The end results was dark clouds, but no rain.

    Since then I lost all respect of Accuweather,
    since being _SO_ wrong should not be possible if they take their work seriously.

    On a another occasion did accuweather predict rain one day before weather.com, and it started raining late in the evening one day before weather.com predicted it.

    Accuweather should change their name, and be charged with false advertising.
