  2. Re:Suicide? on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1

    If you read the article they show what the Wii controller looked like. It looks just like a handgun. The parents bought a Chinese import controller that looks just like a real one. The article even states that these are not sold in the US because they look to realistic. I can see how the child could mistaken the real thing for the controller.

    If you check out what the company does, they are an online backup company. They don't host servers on this array, just backup data from your desktop. They just need massive amounts of space which they make redundant.

    One thing about the iPhone that people tend to forget is that Apple dictated to the phone company what they were going to offer for hardware. Generally the phone company goes dictates everything. In this case, Apple has the most control over the phone. They release new updates, software, etc. Tell me the last time your cell phone has gotten new software with features?

  10. Re:2012 now in the US? on Switch to Digital Television Picking up Steam · · Score: 1

    But, Digital TV != HDTV. These are two different standards. Digital TV is the same resolution as analog tv, just transmitted in the digital form. There will still be tube tv's on the shelves at Best Buy, just not ones with analog tuners.

    True, but there's no equivalent for DVDs, unfortunately. That's why I buy tunes on iTMS but not vids. Ripping DVD's here in the US is illegal due to the DCMA. Since you need an application to circumvent CSS encryption on the disk.

If you want blackberry support you will have to purchase a third party service.

  15. Re:Yeah sure... on End of Win 98 Support May Boost Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    People in category (3) don't care about the end of support, so they'll keep on using their old computer until it breaks, and then they'll... you guessed it, they'll buy the cheapest Dell they can get and not care about that either.

    And since Microsoft has the monopoly on the market, buying that Dell computer will only come with Windows. If we had a choice, we could go to Dell's website and select "Linux" as an option.
