You have a very optimistic view. The pesimistic view saids...
Japan is the only country left on the planet where Nintendo is NOT last place. It is 3rd place in US, Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Canada etc etc. And 3rd place = last place. There is no other console after Nintendo.
Well if RIAA was smart, they'd really go the distance and research the hell out of the candidates before sueing them.
- Rich or at least well off - non technical - old enough - Doesn't work at a computer type company with any major contacts - Not knowledgable about laws
Didn't that old movie "Clear and Present Danger" already demonstrated satellites watching real events, real time somewhere 1000 miles away with no lag.
I give credit to iPods/Apple for succeeding in the most harsh econmical climate. High unemployment rate,.com market crash, real estate prices are ludicrous.... yet it managed to succeed while being totally overpriced.
The latest AIX 5.3 distro still comes with Netscape. Trust me, when AIX 5.4 gets announced later, it'd be a blessing to have a real browser like Firefox come native with the OS.
I have always appreciated honest reviews. And this was by all means a great one. The only thing I didn't agree with is the future lineup complain. How in the world do you rate something that doesn't exist yet?
Sony has an obligation to put resources in the PS2 as well as PSP. Nintendo always had a spectacular Gameboy lineup, because all the resources jumped off the gamecube ship long ago.
Netflix doesn't have a marketing problem. It has an operational issue. Although they say you can rent an unlimited amount, they slow the snail mail process down so you'll get less DVDs in the mail.
Operationally they are losing money on postage. The less they send you, the more they make. How in the world will Amazon fix that. They bring nothing to the table.
Well games is still the #1 issue. A real OS for home MUST be able to play games. Linux literally has a wider game library support for the sake of using nonproprietory hardware. When is Steve Jobs going to realize this is the last frontier. They already do everything else better than windows.
How come every other country has managed to launch movies/games with virtually no censor labels. Yet we Americans are the ones with super high crime rates, blaming video games.
The parent is the one responsible for communicating to the kids what's appropriate or not. Not the fucking paper label.
This was this myth I heard from someone at MIT, no I didn't go there....
There was an old terminal machine from the 70s that had a weird bug of permanently hiding processes far beneath "ps" so no admin could ever see it. When the machine was decommissioned in the 90s, the shutdown revealed some student's print-paper-lpr process that got lost for 20 years.

That's it, they are coming out with plastic bullets shot out of a handgun. Which if used under the sun, becomes a giant cannon.
Since FFXI servers are running top notch compared to the WoW servers to begin with. The competitors must be sabotaging the servers. Yeah that's it.
OMG. I was eating and I spit everything out on my monitor. ROFLMAO.

Oh the answer is simple. Politics is never about money. It's about corruption.
Why is everything good out in Texas and Cali. These events need to hit east coast.
There is already way too many messenger services. Unless the messenger includes video, microphone support right-out-of-the-box, it'll stand no chance.

LOL. The price of Super Mario bros + Duck Hunt is $1.99 in ebgames. To have a lost revenue of 1 billion dollars, you'd need 502512562 pirates.
Look, if Comcast and others could offer wired 1000Mbit connections to people's house. WiFi would be toast. None of these would be a discussion.
It's because our Comcast is still at a pathetic 4mbps in the year 2005, that's why everyone is looking for alternative.

Yeah I know far more JOCK gamers than GEEK gamers. In fact most geeks I know are more into PCs and programming than playing games in general.
Come on people, Paris Hilton wearing a PSP on her crotch as a fashion statement is a good thing.

But people forget that M$ has a ton of cash in the bank. They can practically live on interests alone.
No way man. That bonus level where Bush challenges Al Qaida to see who can kill more middle-easterners was the best.
People forget the number of bad video game movies out there.
Mortal Kombat II - My brain was permanently damaged after the movie.
Super Mario Bros - Did the director even own a Nintendo.
Tomb Raiders (all of them) - If it was not for breast, there would be no sequels.
Street Fighter - Guile/Van Dammit as the lead. It should revolve around Ryu, but obviously no Japanese lead in an American Movie.
Double Dragon - I didn't know the game was a romantic comedy.
DOOM - It'll be identical to Aliens, Aliens II, Aliens III staring Mrs Weaver.
Gamers have bigger things to worry about on the mac platform than video cards.
Dude that's aweful. RIAA deserve a far more insulting poem...
If you consider budweiser watery-tasting piss, that's the best compliment I have ever heard.
To seriously like budweiser, you'd have to be ULTRA PATRIOTIC with no tongue. And prefer the taste of battery acid + rubbing alcohol.
