lol, why would i hate firefox, it's the first browser that actually made MS stop pissing in their users' mouths and work on IE. you should fucking LOVE firefox, cause otherwise it's possible you'd be still using IE 6 right now.
the writing's on the wall that their share price will take a bit of a kicking in the short term? how they replace balmer is probably more important than how windows 9 fares but i doubt it will be a big issue, windows 8 has been selling worse than vista so i doubt they'll be taking too many risks with 9.
this is the most annoying part of the AGW movement, moving to smarter sources of energy has a lot of benefits over just burning oil because "everything is probably fine". i foresee electric cars for example becoming the norm simply because there is a lot more room for improvement in the tech that will make them more efficient and powerful than fuel burners, and this is the easiest way to move forward for deniers and true believers alike.
that's not entirely true, there's a lot more fringe stuff like the multi-language channels and the NITV indigenous channel, especially on SBS and ABC. getting a 12 hr a day kids feed on ABC 2 is pretty useful, and a couple of 24 hr news channels that actually seem OK would probably be a boon if i bothered watching that stuff. not saying it's really increased my viewing time but it does actually make tv more useful.
yeah! when i want to fill in a form i want to download an executable rather than piddle around with this javascript crap! hell the internet should just be replaced with an app store!
without the possibility of rehabilitation prisons are a pointless endeavour. you would be better off simply executing the prisoners and getting on with things.
it's not all society, it's a feedback loop. politicians advertise tough on crime as a benefit, voters vote based on toughness on crime so politicians advertise how tough they are on crime ad nauseam
actually notepad is a pretty good example of why this practice sucks, most people put up with that piece of shit because it came free with the operating system rather than finding something that's actually good.
lies, they reduced the illusionary complexity in cata, like everyone else i just chose cookie cutter specs and "did whatever i wanted with the last 3 points". "for number crunchers" - exactly, both of them probably really enjoyed working that out for everyone else to copy. if you're only using 6 buttons you're a terrible player, even on my ret pally i'm messing around with 11 buttons i'll use at least every second fight and another 4 situationally.
they'll do whatever anyone else with a failing mmo would do, at the moment that would be free to play but in 10 years when it drops below x mill subs who knows what that will be.
i'd actually like to know the average age of wow players, i rarely meet anyone young in there. also you have no fucking clue about trends, facebook games have been dieing off horribly over the last year
maybe you did, i quit at 60 after about 2 weeks, end game was fucking ridiculous. 9 months later i heard about a guy who'd been trying to get his hat for 3 months... and i laughed my ass off. been subbed since BC after that
it's not about a superior input mechanism, it's about a more realistic one. playing on one of these things will cripple you compared to a mouse + keyboard or even a controller, but that's not the point. i enjoy a good keyboard/mouse shooter but i'd love to give this + oculus a go at some point, hopefully they put them in some kind of arcade type setting so i don't have to dedicate 2 metres of my game room to expensive future landfill.

i hate IE because i had to build websites that worked in IE 6. never forget
block plugins until clicked is a menu option in chrome

i think he's thinking of iptv
good luck man, maybe if you bitch particularly hard the internet will go backwards 10 years, but i can't really see it

they're just used to the right one
i bought it because at worst i got a powerful little linux box, at best i can replace my raspbmc box with something i can fire up some indy games on.
bugger all as far as i can tell, these things are getting shipped at less than a trickle. i'm pretty much expecting mine to be at least a month away.

you are horribly wrong, runescape peaked at about 1.2 mill

with paintball it's the raising of the stakes people enjoy, much like playing poker with (non casino) chips vs real money.
