How could I not notice?! Damn you for confusing me even more! I'm going to have to become a Buddhist now that you've made me doubt every sector of my life...
And too bad that article you linked was so heaped in the "2" "b" "r" crud. Too many good ideas and viewpoints are sabotaged by their owners' stupidity. C'est la vie.
I have to disagree that the "market" is smart in any way what-so-ever.
The market isn't smarter, just more cautious during an economic downturn. Investors stuck their cocks in wall sockets, and aren't doing it anymore. I guess that's "smart." Personally what I call smart is not fucking yourself over in the first place.
If the economy turned around tomorrow, the same type of irrational exuberance would return, don't kid yourself.
We have seen time and time again that if willing to lie their asses off and spread enough money around, companies can indeed fool the "market," consumers, the government, dogs, cats, etc. There are entire companies dedicated to spin-doctoring, and they do it well. The difference here? UL is a bunch of geeky-amateurs when it comes to actually doing business in the U.S. They should model themselves after oil and defense companies. That might help.
UL just isn't big enough to do that, nor are they morally bankrupt enough, experienced enough, cash-spouting, etc.
I love Dock. He is my hero and everything he says is great and wonderful.
But seriously, he's right. Seems like this [consolidation] was a premature move. "Why now?" is right.

Uh, yeah. And then you woke up in this dimension and realized that none of the "new" consoles are NOT that much more powerful than the DC.
In some ways the DC beats them, the PS2 especially. More VRAM, better sound card...

That's what I thought, but the previous poster confused me to the point I was doubting myself and my children's way of life.
So how DO you pronounce Einstein? Een? Oon? Uun?
I'm trying to decipher just what politic ideology you might subscribe to. I see anti-communist rhetoric, anti-capitalist, pro-guns, pro-etc, etc...
You are either very ecletic or very confused.

Apparently its not being sold as much of anything.
