It is in their best interest to shake up the industry as much as possible because they are better positioned to capitalize on it. MS and Sony have a tendency to focus group everything, while Nintendo will just jump in feet first. The trick is getting third parties to follow along.
That's a good point, although 'back in the day' (pre-PSX?) the third parties were also relatively small and the costs of making a game were much smaller.
That made it much easier for the third parties to be flexible and take risks with new technologies. These days those same companies are more concerned with playing safe and not sinking $XXm into a project that doesn't pay off.
It would be interesting to have a chart of the top games for each console and how much they cost to produce. Even the 'cookie-cutter' sequels need graphics artists etc. so they probably still cost a fair bit to produce.

I just installed it on a 4G iPod (clickwheel) and you're right, it does have the option of adding "Photo Import" to the main menu..!
(Clicking on it just gives an empty screen (with "Photos" in the title bar) but I guess it's looking for the as-yet-unreleased connector.)

It's a shame it sounds like the iPod Camera Connector will only be available for the iPod Photo.
Even if you can't view the images on-screen with the standard iPod, it would be nice to be able to transfer photos direct from camera>iPod.
Powerbooks, especially the 15"ers, get hot enough to fry an egg on just using Safari. Unless you're Alaskan, I wouldn't attempt gaming on one.
Troll troll troll. What a load of shite.
My 15" PB averages 45-50C at worst when "just using Safari". Only when the CPU is at 100% constantly for 1hr+ does it get noticably hot. That's why the fan comes on and cools it down (never above 60C if I remember correctly).

At least on both sides of the atlantic we can agree that pants cover your fanny.

Eh? I'm pretty sure it's not a British term. Certainly not one I've ever heard.

In the days of the SNES and the Megadrive we'd have to wait around 2 months (by the time it's written up and printed) for news in games magazines.
These days we get the latest news within hours/days on gaming sites. (And on slashdot we even get repeats.
No, the marketing VP found the file (that he thought he'd lost) and never actually moved to Linux.
Thanks for the info - looks interesting.
