  5. remebber... on G4: The Pong Channel? · · Score: 1

    Sega tried this to coincide with the release of their Satun console. I believe it was a sattelite channel, but i know they had one. Yeah, it went down the tubes quick, but good luck to G4, ill watch it if its better than what Emeril is cooking.

  14. oh god i hope not on Apple Acquires Zayante · · Score: 1
    the ipod should stay mac only. if you want one, buy a mac. look at how much shit is incompatable with the mac, basicly because companys are too cheap to port their drivers to mac.

    I see the ipod as apples way of saying thanks to the mac faithful, by giving us the coolest gadget of the year.

  15. MSFT SECURITY on War Driving Version 2.0 · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Refitting an X10 camera with encryption technology would be beyond the skills of most consumers. It is best for manufacturers to design security features into products from the start, because adding them after the fact is far more difficult, Mr. McGraw said. The cameras are only the latest example of systems that are too insecure in their first versions, he said, and cited other examples, including Microsoft's Windows operating system. "It's going to take a long time for consumer goods to have any security wedged into them at all," he said.

    so windows is as insecure as a $80 camera? Who could have guessed that one?

    It's funny, working at a videogame store. When the Xboxes come rolling in, the packing boxes say made in Turkey, Mexico, etc. That's not America last I checked.

  18. Re:who the **** cares about japan ? on From Midway to Xbox, The story of Seamus Blackley · · Score: 1
    ok, so i see that you still avadly support the Arati Jaguar. The last true american attempt at a home console. If your blood is red you did, but im betting that you didnt. im betting that you are just another post 911 americanism banwagoneer. time to have pride now that everyone else does.
    i will put my money where the better console package is, if its japanese, maybe the american companies(m$ is not the only one) need to grab them selves by the balls and give the japanese some competition.

    Microsoft is the one that cares about what the Japanese gamers think, or haven't you read that? American systems and companies? I seem to recall Atari being a key force in the crash of 83/84. And don't get me started on that dust collector they called the Jaguar. Microsoft doesn't give anyone enough credit as they've really only given gamers sports, racing, and the shit they call Halo.

  19. wanna know why the xbox sux overseas? on From Midway to Xbox, The story of Seamus Blackley · · Score: 3, Interesting

    THERES NO ARCADE UNIT!

    Sony has a machine, Sega has several machines, Nintendo is working on one but needs one less so than M$ does.

    Japanese gamers live in the arcade, thas why the strange (to us) puzzle games go over so well over there, because there in the arcade. Who is going to buy a 300 dollar console without ever playing it before? I didnt buy my dreamcast until i played several hits in the arcade. (dc is still better than anyhting)

    M$ needs to realize that theyre not marketing to PCGAMER anymore. Halo is not a killer app, not by a long shot!

  20. now what would be truly cool.. on Display News Headlines on iPod · · Score: 1
    would be if some one would hack the firewire port to accept that cool fold up keybord or a frankensteined palm touch pad, like on the new toshiba sattelite notebok, and have it be able to enter notes on it.

    Or if i could use it to back up my digicam. come on theres 5gb on mine 10gb on some, that blows away my 64mb cf card. or if you could hack a cf card reader to back up to the pod, either by extracting the data as raw or just copying it to the hd space.

  23. mac on Viewers for Large Images? · · Score: 1

    there is a reason why graphics professionals use them. I just pushed a 25000 x 25000 pixel cmyk to test on my G4 400. PS7 b43 under 10.1.3 worked just fine. chunky, but my machine is a few years old. btw thats a 2.3gb file.

    Hey! another crappy post from everyones favorite genius! Have you considered that if you ran OSX + Mathematica 4.1 you could come up with a bit more accurate results? Oh what what did you say, your results arent based off of numbers? That would make sense because you probably cant even use a calculator. Too much entropy from typing the keys, nano hackers could slip through the cracks and steal your data!
