Actually, as you can see, Nintendo was way ahead of the competitors. A whole generation ahead. Only now are the competitors scrambling to add motion controls to their consoles.
Indeed, the console race is not about graphics and horsepower anymore. It's about new ways to play games. And Nintendo is leading the way.
Wii is the best-selling console of the next generation. PS3 and 360 are hopelessly stuck in the last generation of button mashing.
About widgets, they aren't really supposed to be like extensions. I think what Opera is trying to do is to create an environment for cross-platform applications. They have some pretty big players (like Nokia, Vodafone, etc.) betting on widgets (using web technology) for applications rather than proprietary stuff like the App Store or Android Market.
IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome... All of these are promising or already have extensive HTML5 support.
Remember the days when IE was a single big target you could attack to gain access to just about all computers? Flash is that single target now. It's a security nightmare. It needs to die.
No, you are not using any proxies. You can use something called "Opera Turbo", but it is completely optional, and disabled by default. Quit spreading FUD.
Opera has historically been very fast at HTML parsing and DOM manipulation - while lagging behind the leaders at JS interpreting speed.
No, that is completely wrong. Opera was the fastest browser by far until some time after 9.5 was released. After that, Apple introduced their new JS engine. For a year or so Opera was no longer the fastest. Now Opera is the fastest at JS again.
So Opera has traditionally been the fastest, and now is the fastest again.
Actually, Big Oil does employ scientists. And guess what, these scientists who were working for Big Oiled concluded that AGW was real. Big Oil tried to hide those findings from the public.
There is no CRU scandal. The only scandal is that the whole CRU thing is a manufactroversy, and that so many people are too lazy to look beyond the blatant lies about the CRU e-mails, and notice the powerful and rich people who created this manufactroversy in order to undermine science and replace it with their own ideology.
and the things they've gotten proposed happen to be vastly less effective than claimed and more expensive overall
This is, of course, a lie.
We don't have a solid handle on Climatology, contrary to anything you might have been told. We don't have enough actual measured data to make models that're even remotely accurate- and we're making models of archaeological samples that MIGHT show us what they're claiming, but then again might very well not.
More lies. The evidence is clear. Thousands of peer-reviewed reports have shown us the facts.
Right now, it's big politics mixed in with a batch of what should've been called bad science a long time ago
This is projection. The politics here is a bunch of rich right-wing liars spreading lies about science. Just like Evolution vs. creotards.
Do we have a problem? We don't honestly know
Yes, we do. We do know. Right-wingers willfully rejecting the facts won't change that.
And the histrionics and the lies (yes, they are precisely that, "investigations" not withstanding- you don't trim your data sources like they did, closing down monitoring points in colder climates and increasing the data points in urban settings, and call it "truth".)
The only lies here are yours. They didn't wrongly manipulate their data sources. Your urban heating nonsense is like listening to a deranged creationist spew out lies about crocoducks. Truly pathetic.
In fact, even Watts' (denialist) attempt to cherry-pick weather stations that were "good enough" turned out to fit the data perfectly.
that have went on for the last handful or so of years has muddied up the works in a way that there is little in the way of actual credibility with this bunch in the eyes of anyone but the "faithful" and the politicians that have something to gain from "believing"
Spoken like a true creationist. Insane conspiracy theories based on a diseased religious brain.
Even if it is all true that we have AGW as bad as they're claiming- what they did damaged their message badly.
They did nothing to damage the scientific facts. You even ignore the story you are replying to. But that's what creationists/denialists do: Ignore the facts, and lie.
while there definitely is some peer reviewed science in the IPCC reports, much of it isn't
This is a blatant lie. The IPCC summarizes peer-reviewed scientific research. It doesn't do research of its own. And all the alarmist claims about major errors in IPCC reports have turned out to be either completely false, or blown way out of proportion.
The one thing climategate did was expose just how "unsettled" the science actually is.
This is a blatant lie. It did no such thing.
The fact that they can't explain the recent temperature decline
This is another blatant lie. Temperatures have not declined. On the contrary.
and the fact that they've manipulated the presentation of the data to make the 90's heat wave appear drastic
Yet another blatant lie.
shows us that a much better understanding is required before they can conclude that we're doomed because of CO2 emissions
You are yet another denialists who behaves exactly like creationists. Gish Gallop and all.
Google quietly released a new beta version of its Chrome browser, which not only blows its rivals out of the water as far as performance is concerned
Yeah, if you leave out Opera. However, if you do include Opera in the test it beats even Chrome 5.
First benchmarks show that the new beta is about 10% faster than the previous beta in the SunSpider and V8 benchmark, and about 30% faster than Chrome 4, which remains the fastest Javascript browser available today.
Look, you disgusting right-wing fascist and liar: First of all, your misquoted Jones. Worse yet, your question was nothing but parroting of right-wing, anti-science lies. Like creationist idiots, AGW denialist idiots always lie, deceive, and take quotes out of context to misrepresent science and scientists. You are truly disgusting assholes.
What's the difference between an HTML5 video tag and a simple hyperlink to a video file, which has worked for as long as video files have been around?
The fact that it's played within the page, and is part of the DOM, which means that you can do all sorts of stuff with the video which you can't with plugins. You can manipulate the video in all sorts of crazy ways.
The HTML5 video tag requires your browser to be a video player too, instead of just handing off the video to your systems video player. This increases bloat.
Oh no! "The IMG tag requires your browser to be an image viewer too, instead of just handing off the video to your systems image viewer! This increases bloat!"
Opera appears to be holding its own in the less-than-1% range where it has always lived.
What are you talking about? Opera's global market share is around 3%, while it's 5-10% in Europe (actually, up to 30% in some European countries). It does have 100 million users (whereas Firefox has 300 million users or so) after all.
Changing the browser does indeed change something. Opera has a much better security track record than other browsers, and the false claim about low market share means hackers won't target it (Opera actually has more than 100 million users).
Opera has more than 100 million users (while Firefox has 300 something million users). You really should stop parroting this inane "Opera has no users" lie.

Lowest attach rate? Source, please.
Real gamers games? You mean FPS games? LOL. Butthurt hardcore gamers are hilarious.
Most customers don't buy games? Source for that claim?
Morons have been predicting Nintendo's demise for years. But you can bet your ass they have more tricks up their sleeves.
Yeah, remember the N64 and GC? When Nintendo was part of the graphics race? Didn't help them much, now did it?
Indeed, the console race is not about graphics and horsepower anymore. It's about new ways to play games. And Nintendo is leading the way.
Wii is the best-selling console of the next generation. PS3 and 360 are hopelessly stuck in the last generation of button mashing.
Sony knows its market: A niche market (compared to Nintendo) of hardcore gaming nerds. Nintendo, on the other hand, expanded the market.
Scalability went downhill? How?
That a bunch of insane attention whores claim that it's happening doesn't mean that it is.
It seems to me that the aliens have a value system where they value mentally insane attention whores for abduction. Interesting.

They are not skeptics. They are deniers/denialists. The creationists of the global warming debate.
Yeah, if you leave out Opera. However, if you do include Opera in the test it beats even Chrome 5.
No, again, that is Opera.
