US agrees with China's desire to innovate for that reason alone. That China never respected people's copyrights. Whatever China makes, US will just steal. And there ain't nothin to be done about it.
People are not very arrogant about american cars in the US. The only ones buying US cars consistently are Ford Mustang fans who refuse to drive anything else.
Who would pay $1000 for a processor to keep a processor overclocked at 5Ghz running 24/7? Nobody. People who do this are doing it for benchmarks marketing reasons.
The industry is all about trap solutions nowadays. Soon Comcast's bandwidth cap will lock out their cloud, and you'll be forced to use comcast apps only.
There are alot of factors and not just tax. The thing that hinders business is not really money. Is all the unnecessary politics such as some donut shop owner is a friend with the town mayor. Therefore no other competitive donut shop can open within 5 miles of him. Or signs must be restricted to 5 inch tall because it is a residential town. Stupid shit like this is what hurts consumers, growth and the competition. The local town gov is IMHO much worse than federal.
With all the providers ganging up on consumers, you can't even call it a monopoly. I dont think there is a term that describe an entire industry all jacking the prices up and bringing down quality of service at the same time. Only a matter of time before verizon and others do a comcast.
So are the people using IPTV screwed? They will be queued worse due to their high bandwidth usage again and again if they watch a long IPTV show. What about households with multiple Youtube users streaming and watching different videos at the same time? Both are completely legal, but seems to something that occupies high bandwidth.
Speaking of basketball and media coverage. This says something about the American mindset. We already know they will blow away any team by 20-30 points. So this is the entire focus of the olympic TV coverage. All they talk about is the billion dollar dream^H^H^H^H redemption team. I think someone looking at our TV guide have concluded we only show events where we have a chance for gold. Notice how they televised basketball less a few years back when the roster wasn't as good. I want to see some shooting or archery. Don't care if we come in last. We need wider less propaganda-ish coverage.
It is true that in the US a good neighborhood is coupled with a good school system. This is beneficial for families with kids. The problem is for people with NO KIDS, they often have to buy into that good neighborhood even when they don't use the school system. The idea is to resale the house in the future with that "good school neighborhood" as a value leverage.
M$ is teaching the industry a dirty capitalist lesson of how to wipe out old inventory, in this case XP SP3 purposely handicapped vista. Next time you bring your car to get an oil change, the mechanics will blowup the engine and offer you a new car.
I used to play the PC original GTA with a friend over local LAN via IPX (not TCP/IP). It was actually quite a disappointment. The number of disconnect ruins the game.
It does a smooth disconnect though. Basically you won't know your friends are off. They get "re-controlled" by the game's AI. You both go from a joined network game to two separate single player on the fly.
Your comment is just retarded. As if walmart is the only store that sells products from China. No CEO will ever turn down $1 million bonus. Going to China means $3 million bonus by reducing local expenses. US labor is expensive.
I perhaps think you meant the other way around. West cannot be a superpower without China. We have had free-slavery in our colonial confederate days. Our farming, cotton and all were done by slaves for nothing. Our products today manufactured in China is almost done for nothing. Without this edge capitalism cannot happen here. No way in hell I am paying $300 for a 5 port network hub or $50 for a coat hanger.
If anything all the consoles need to bundle a "mouse". With all the FPS on the consoles already, adding a mouse would render PC gaming dead permanently. I don't believe WOW cannot be done on consoles with a big hard drive. There is no reason to keep upgrading for eyecandy.
That seems to be the reality trend of the industry. The HR guy cannot actually judge you based on working-technical skills. As a result the first line of elimination gets rid of most hardcore engineers with no social skills.
There is no doubt that west American cultures are wiping clean other cultures around the world with a mop. But we are not forcing it. People will go to hell's distance to pirate American movies. They like American goods, let them. I am sure we will accept opera one day when we have a less Anglo-mindset. That will catch on when the rest of the world slowly gets more east, while we realize we are behind, and are permanently stuck in west-only mode.

So the European union is beefing up their science, and China now has a get it done attitude. Who are we to criticize. We should be way ahead.
People still buy EA games? 8o

Also what is ironic is that the website offers DVD for $10 to add "more stuff". But I guess the message is still ok.
The computer facts is oversimplified. But the idea is still pretty damn good. That might be the best toxic waste clip I have seen in a while.
Ok so IT reps are not treated right. What next?

Calm the hell down. Is a browser. Nobody is getting killed over the wrong link.
What is it about all these chairs and arm rests. I like to have nothing on either side.

You did not mention the Australian Aboriginals. So they must be integrated fine.

In other news, top Youtube videos dropped from 200,000 views a day to 20,000 views.
