My Wii has performed flawlessly for countless hours. But the only thing I have heard from it is the soft whir of the game disc spinning inside it. And it don't get particularly hot.
Oh. Yeah. You're gonna complain it's a weak box now. 1. I didn't mention the Wii, you did. It is in a different market position.
2. You used the word completely and then mentioned you could hear it. I don't think that word means what you think it means.
3. Whether or not it's "weak" is separate from simply saying it has a significantly lower power consumption and does not include a harddrive.
Windows succeeds for the same reasons the Xbox 360 will continue selling despite its reliability problems - software. It's the platform with the software people want to run, and nothing will change that unless the other platforms start getting killer apps. Toolate.
Is why it's still hot when the fans sound like a 737 revving for takeoff. The PS3 is pretty much silent, has more stuffed into the box, and has a nearly flawless record!
Dave Bowman: Hello, HAL do you read me, HAL?
HAL: Affirmative, Dave, I read you.
Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave Bowman: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL?
HAL: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Dave Bowman: Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?
HAL: Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
If it weren't for them you wouldn't get junk mail, because it wouldn't be worth mailing in the first place. No, if it weren't for you, you wouldn't get junk mail.
I get your point, but you can also do something about it. I haven't gotten junk mail in years. It's wonderful to go to the box day after day and see 1, 2 or maybe 3 pieces of mail.
And as most consumers have never heard of firmware, and aren't aware that Blu-ray isn't finished and that discs sold within the next couple of years will be unplayable on current equipment without updates, consumers have largely gone for the marketing pushed brand. I don't think it's the case that they will be unplayable. You may not get all the Profile 2.0 features, but you can still see your movie.
There has been a blitz of these "the war is over, HD DVD is doomed" stories last couple of days, and sites post them very uncritically. And the prophecy seems to be self-fulfilling.
Toshiba's lastest HD-DVD player (the A3) was in the top ten on Saturday. Now it's at 27.
I also see lots of anecdotal reports of people returning HD-DVD players they got for Christmas. If they don't turn this around soon there won't be anything to turn around.
I had my thyroid entirely removed due to cancer. I'd never really heard of the gland before. Until they finally got the levels right, it was hell. Constant exhaustion.
Pretty much every definition of life I've ever seen included reproduction. I don't recall ever seeing tractors and airplanes reproduce. Maybe human beings are tractors way of reproducing.
My advice: Chase the high paying job, stuff as much as you can into the stock market (use leveraged funds like those from ProShares if you're brave), and start picking out "retirement" destinations in your mid thirties. And don't have kids.
You should take a million of these laptops and drop them on Lima, Peru, and see what happens. You would have millions of little laptop pieces scattered all over the place.
Now think replacing the right stick with a small, thumb-operated trackball. They do sell them you know. I use this. I got it when my shoulder started hurting after playing too many FPS. That isn't a thumb-operated one, but they have those too.
What I mean is...why is it that Vista sit at idle at around ~500mb, and the moment I open firefox (which I have been using on a daily basis for months), it jump to around 650-700mb? I The libraries that firefox uses can be cached, but the memory it asks for when it actually runs cannot. Still sounds remarkably high, but hey, it's firefox.
Abraham Lincoln killed American Libertarianism, and needed to to preserve the Union. That sounds remarkably like "we had to destroy the village in order to save it."

Evolution is intelligently designed?
Mass Effect's effect?

Don't they know that water and electronics don't mix!
Write simple lists of ways to recognize good programmers?
You asked for a government that could give you everything you want...
... you got a government that could take everything you have.
They don't even know they are there...
Overrated when no one else has rated it?
I see a fanboi has some mod points.

Maybe it'll get some decent games...
Have your thyroid levels checked.
I had my thyroid entirely removed due to cancer. I'd never really heard of the gland before. Until they finally got the levels right, it was hell. Constant exhaustion.
Glad to help.
Perhaps regime change stops at home.
