let me put in my obligatory show of support for the parent. This story is about Apple. The Windows thing is a stretch and has NOTHING to do with the story. You crack pot hacks who call yourselves editors need to keep your comments to yourselves instead of constantly appeasing the fanboys.
I just wanna know if a hard drive is going to be part of Xbox2. If they rumors are true that there will be no HD, it will be the death knell of the Xbox.
oh give me a break with this touchy feely hippy shit. In order to make stuff like this work you have to have a unified corporate strategy. Just look at the PS2 online mess. EA is trying to put a good face on it but lets face it, it is shit. you have to learn a new interface for eveyr online game, you can't find your buddies on other games......it is just crap. XBL has it made. And no motherfuckers they don't have to "open up" their development tools to non Microsoft platforms. Its called "They Own The Motherfucking Network" Your socialist "lets give this stuff away and make it a success" is utter bullshit cause money is the greatest motivator.
....that matter most to OEMs and carriers: openness and low cost. Microsoft scored lowest in these criteria.
way to load your questions there buckaroo bonzai..
I think I'll come out with a survey asks OEMs questions like "ease of existing integration" and "current availability and deployment ease" I think I'll get very different answers. You know I'm really sick of hearing all this "coulda woulda shoulda" shit from Linux zealots. You nimnods roll out a standard flavor like Symbian and Microsoft has and maybe you'll get more respect from these "OEMs" you talk about cause all they are concerned with is making money, and tinkering and tweaking with bullshit linux distros to go on a phone wastes money when they can simply slap on a Symbian or MS solution.
....even though there has been talk about this shit for years, it is now getting news coverage in light of Bush's plan to go to the moon. So when we get there, who will get to claim it? All of mankind or Halliburton and other Bush croney corps?
....I'm sorry RIAA, but I filed a patent with the USPTO on "the method to sue individuals using nothing but an IP address" so I'm afraid I'm going to have to sue to collect royalties on all 532 instances of your patent violations. If you want though I can settle out of court for 532 mill and the DISSOLUTION OF YOUR ORGANIZATION!
...is even when you are in "privacy mode" that servers will still sense your location and save up popups and offers for when you DO have that one time you need to use it. Believe me, they'll figure out a way to circumvent any privacy methods.
People are making a big deal over THIS!?!?!?!?! If you are so stupid that the only way to find music for sale online is by following this link then you need to be banned for computers. I had to hunt high and low before I found this very obscure link. If you are so fucking upset that your preferred browser doesnt load this stupid link, you need to step away from the computer and get a life. Is this the best FUD you can come up with against Microsoft these days?
this isn't a flame....this is the motherfucking truth.
you know, I think the patent office is sorta like that old SNL skit where Chris Farley played Newt Gingrich and everything that the republicans came up with he passed.
yes but at least with WMP the bloat is built in unlike Real where you are knowingly adding bloat. WMP is like baby fat you are born with, Real ONE is like pigging out at the SuperBuffet for a month.
just a warning, eBay doesn't allow you to sell banned or recalled items on there. The Gestapo's Fleamarket(TM) is pretty good about filtering these things out for their Fuhror.

if I selectively ignored all /. authors who took offtopic pot shots at MS, there would be nothing to read here.

Not a flame, just the motherfucking truth.
Can't you do this with a Pocket PC? Exactly what does this gain you?
thank Asscroft for these types of charges. Picking out the berries from my Capt'n Crunch is now considered terrorism as well.

you beat me to it.
Oh really? Well in that case move it to Tulsa just south of there....we have plenty of room and we won't tax you.
actually this pair are our only hopes of getting a real food replicator.

....until Windows Update pushes out another Critical Update next week.
NASA needs to turn off Automatic Update. Oh and they need to uninstall MAME32....the martians are having too much fun playing space invaders.
60 reboots is nothing, the engineers just forgot to turn off Automatic Updates...

Sir-Mix-a-lot would HAVE to use weed to get anyone to listen to his crap.
HPs workfarce in Bangalore is updating their 3 day ESL crash courses to include the words QuickTime, Apple, and AAC.

I picked up a bunch of generic 100 packs (yeah I know) and they won't play in the car. previously the same generic brand worked just fine.
This reminds me in the waning days of the floppy. The quality was piss poor, but I have some old "heyday" sony floppys that are still running strong.
When will the ESA officially ask us to go find their rover?

Like protecting all that corn and wheat out there from TERRORISTS?!?!?!
...we should collect the dead birds and give them to homeless hungry people. At least they won't die in vain. Or send them to Ethiopia.
