It's not easy for someone to come out with something that rivals PaintShop pro or Adobe Photoshop. As far as I am concern graphics apps still belong on mac and windoze.
Dude, it was never the artist's choice. How and who gets distributed and marketed was always the record company's choice. Can't tell you how many great artists I discovered thru iTunes alone.
Record companies like to make it easy and market the same group of artists, and milk their talents. Look at Eminem, he's got a new album every freaking month. Do you think that was his choice? Kurt Cobain was stressed out as hell. The list goes on...
Damn this is no surprise. U.S have always lagged behind. Look at gran turismo all the cars are in Japanese names. So many Japanese version of the games are better than the American counterparts with more secrets etc. They got cooler stereo parts, cars, cellphones. I heard some part of Japan even have fibre-channel connections at home.
This is what happens in a country where we spend all our money on ludicrous taxes, mortgages, insurance bills. We're left to buy everything we need at walmart.
AIX is still the top of my list. They are the only ones who got the patching concept down right. Solaris patching system is the worst, they are so 90s. AIX can download maintainance level by number to number. You download 1. The next one is 1-to-2. If you skip, it's 1-to-3 or whatever. Hpux and AIX I am hoping will be the last commercial unix. With linux being the free alternative.

Sounds to me like you are suggesting U.S workers should stick to the lower paying jobs... support, maintainance etc. While letting other countries have all the high paying hard-core engineering jobs.
Heh, we should just go one step further. Cause patenting in a capitalist society is even more incompatible. The idea is that someone don't steal the secret recipe, but we all know there is a generic brand to everything after being reverse engineered.
Come on, you can grab some chick's bare breast with your mechanic arm and blame your firmware. Can you imagine punching the police officer who pulled you over for speeding, and say it has a mind of it's own. Sky's the limit!!!

Ok Starship Troopers was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Can't believe there is even a sequel. First movie was so bad it should only be available in.wav formats so no one has to watch it again.
Anyways, Doom the movie will be the greatest thing. I won't need any drivers, directX, no blue screen, runs at very high FPS. Hells, I don't even need windoze to walk into the theatres.
OMG don't even mention Castlevania SOTN. At first I rented it, and I thought it was the same old boring 2D action. Returned it...
A year later I found out from www.gamefaqs.com that you can beat the game like 4 times and the castle flipped and I get the whip guy later. I ended up buying this. I could not believe this thing had a higher replay value than sports games.
To my surprise the japanese version was supposed to be even better!? Which is absolutely ludicrous.
I actually had a Sega Saturn. I figured at the time Sega had a history of consoles like genesis and master system, boy.... was I wrong. Street fighter Alpha was the only decent game, and that's pushing it.
I sold my Saturn for a Playstation. It was the single most insane investment I have ever made. I had zero money in my bank account cause I ran out and bought so many games. Classic twisted metal was the greatest thing.
Are you kidding, they don't make PC parts like they used to. Especially graphics cards which have potentially the worst record among PC parts to fry. Every person I know who's a regular gamer has to put up with at least one RMA from NVidia or ATI.
My pentium I running matrox millenium video card with no fan and a 2 gig HD has out lasted every PC I have today. No, I didn't need to stick it in a garage.
I am sick and tired of cheaters. I don't think Blizzard games are nearly as bad as Enemy Terrorities, wolfenstein, UT2004. Dare I say counterstrike.
The worst thing are those half cheating, scriptable moves that can never be banned. Like auto-lie-down when near enemies. Or using adrenalines and refilling on med packs and ammo all in one motion. These are the worst people to play against.
Can you imagine everytime you read an EBook you have to go to the bathroom to wash your inky hands? It doesn't make sense, right. That's what you have to do after reading newspapers now. Paper sucks. It's dirty, it's fragile. You can't read in the dark!
Not to mention, 20 magazines weight like 20 magazines. Well, I want to carry 2000 books in my handheld, that might be do-able. Again paper sucks. You won't see me carrying a briefcase of books around.
I think the entire Sparc line hardware has to go. Sun is wasting so much time with their own architecture. Why?!
The next time someone brags about a sun box being able to pull RAM chips out while online, I am just going to say a cluster allows me to bring the whole thing down. Not to mention the sun hardware that allows me to pull RAM out probably cost $20,000.
My ATI Radeon 9800 fried, 3 replacements in 1 year. I am looking to get a Nvidia Geforce 6600GT card, and it's not available anywhere in stores. If you buy online the AGP version costs $50 more than the PCI-express version. Does anyone know how to manufacture anymore?
I still think Beyond TV snapstream is the only logical option on windows XP due to price and the fact that it runs on virtually all cards. MythTV and other open source projects seem so raw still.
I can't imagine ever playing dance dance revolution at home with a dance pad. The fact that this game is so popular, tells me people ARE doing just that. Is this like a japanese thing or am I missing something? No this is not a flamebait plz.

Can someone PLEASE tell me how do I get a copy of this CD? So I can send it back to sony.
Is this a real post or an advertisement for slashdotemail@gmail.com?
IBM's not stupid. They are going to sell their version of the iPod.
1.) IBM's iPod will be Black and blue.
2.) It's going to have a baby-tie around it. And you can never take it off!
3.) It'll come with a case that looks like a business suit.
4.) It won't be called iPod anymore. I'll just have a serial number.
5.) iPod will be resized to fit in a T-shirt chest pocket only.
6.) It'll play some monotone corporate tune everything it turns on.

If your main intention is to save money, why not just get it on Walmart.com online at 88 cents?
I like iTunes too, but there is no cheaper American option. And you don't need a Canadian address or worry about Bush's army coming after you.
Hey at least it wasn't some SCO operating system.

TV is not interactive. There is no forum via television where I can tell the television execs their shows sucks.
Until we fix the bandwidth problem plagueing the U.S, I don't think we'll ever really have Internet TV.
