I wish the best for his family, friends and former co-workers during this time, but him worrying about infringing McIntosh copyrights when your company name is already Apple is pretty much moot.
I don't think this is really a big surprise, For quite some time Nintendo has been the Apple of the games industry; high quality products that typically only sell to a niche fanbase.
Both Apple and Nintendo have wildly sucessful portable units, both typically release their products in a variety of colors, both remain profitable, both won't be going away any time soon.
This is not what this announcement is about. Nintendo are moving into Japanese Animation, to produce movies akin to the likes of Studio Ghibli's productions. The latest Ghibli movie looks set to gross over $450 million in Japan alone, You can see why Nintendo would want in on that market.
Yes, this may end up as a vehicle to cross-promote their games, but the first slated movie that they are said to produce is based on collections of centuries old Japanese literature.
I believe local DS-to-DS play utilizes a modified Bluetooth protocol, whereas the Wifi protocol will be used for possible future Online play, or dozens of other Wifi possibilities.
I bought one yesterday, and while it's no graphical powerhouse, It's a lot of fun and Pictochat is a blast.
I'm going to need undoctored screenshots to even begin to believe this, not that I care at all about Halo 2, I personally think it to be a poor man's UT2004.
But the credits in Halo 2 are not rendered in real-time, they're a Bink Video file, and there is only ONE credits file on the Disc. I think this wishful thinking by people who were simply dissapointed with what was essentially, Halo 1.5
Doubtful, There is no such thing as consumer backlash in the Videogame market. If there was, Nintendo would would hold the top spot, as both Sony and MS have had a very large share of problems with their consoles, whereas Nintendo have only had isolated incidents of hardware failure.
Agreed, and though its been a while since I listened to Air America, even the other hosts for various shows would openly mock Randi Rhodes. She's the left equivalent of Rush Limbaugh.
People who complain about Moore being too far left have obviously never heard Randi Rhodes.
Please mod this up, as an Australian living in Canada, I remember good laughs from watching A Current Affair and Today Tonight.
It is a sensationalist, reactionary, show that appeals to the conservative masses. They frequently run stories scapegoating immigrants (Lebanese is a popular one), dole bludgers (what the show calls people on welfare), video games (absolute zealots on this issue, you can be guaranteed an anti-videogame story at least once or twice a month) and in general, promoting ignorance and bias.
There is no journalistic integrity with these people, they don't report news, they make it.
The Green Party is best known for its progressive policies on the environment, however its other policies are often shrouded by this, most people not knowing where the Green Party stands on issues like abortion and same-sex marriage.
What do you think might be the best approach to educate the masses about the rest of Green Party polices?
Let the conservative original and funny 'Moore is fat' comments flow!
They'd be even funnier if the aforementioned link contained Moore's opinion, rather, it is him linking to other news articles hosted by various news agencies.

If it took you a year to get to level 10 then I expect you to be around level 48 when the Sun explodes.
It should be noted that S&C purchased the game for the first batch of people willing to join the club.

People act like this is a new thing.
Mario has been featured in a wide variety of titles as far back as the NES. He was the Ref in both the Nintendo published Tennis and Punch Out games.
People buy Mario games, more Mario games get made. I would have thought this is some sort of basic rule of business.

Doesn't exactly sound like a Mario movie.
Guess you fail to know the definition of mainstream.
Less then 5% of PS2 owners playing games online is not mainstream.
The key word Mr. Miyamoto used was 'mainsteam'.
Online gaming for consoles isn't anywhere near mainstream as of now, even with services like Xbox Live.
The official line was that the DS had both a 'proprietary Nintendo communications protocol' ala the Wavebird, and 802.11b for Wifi.
You're probably right though, As there are reports of Pictochat transmitting a MAC address when it's searching for other DS's.
And for the record I have no idea why my grandparent post was a troll. I own a DS and am extremely pleased with it.

It's the Nintendo DS. Gameboy is a completely different product line.
This is obviously a fiendish plot from none other than Shinji Mikami, Capcom's resident Nintendo loyalist.

I'm convinced that as a brandname, Nintendo has the most loyal following of any corporation in existence today.
This is a multinational company that can sustain profitability by selling ONLY to their fans.
You actually could die in the first Monkey Island.
When you get tossed off the wharf weighted down by the Idol, if you stayed underwater for over 10 minutes, you would die.
I don't really think it's fair to compare this with the hubble, unless this telescope can orbit earth.

A gay conservative must be a masochist, I really cannot see any other explanation.

Instead they have a $10 million dollar pool of rewards for the capture of people who exploit the bugs for malicious purposes.
I think the saying 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure' is applicable here.
Skype is a P2P VoIP application that is independant of any central servers, has great quality audio, NAT, etc.
How exactly do they intend to regulate the unregulatable?
