Steve Jobs told the world Apple's strategy and it's pretty darn unambiguous. No amount of bitching or pointing out holes in his letter will change that. Accept it and move on.
But I've only seen Natal as a fancy webcam that's gotten too much press. I expect the games that will be made for it will be marginally more advanced than what you can get with the PS2 EyeToy. It can be a success, but I think we should temper our expectations of it.
If only there'd be some kind of alternative! I guess I'll just have to rely on sumotorrent, btjunkie, eztv, fenopy, isohunt, seedpeer, torrentz, torrentbox, torrentdownloads.net, torrent portal, torrentreactor.net, torrentreactor.to, alivetorrents, demonoid, boxtorrent, animelab, animesuki, kickasstorrents, torrentplaza, movietorrents, torrentomega, flixflux, overget, superfundo and all the other sites I can easily find on google by doing a simple search.
I've always had bad experiences with VLC on Mac, no matter which version. Converting videos to mpg, mp4, or anything else I try results in unreadable files.
While I donno if others are experiencing the same issues, it's disappointing that it's been consistently unreliable for me.

Well, you know, Apple's been dying and going out of business for about 35 years now... I think it'll stick around for a little while longer.

Slashdot comments talking about lego robots and the different algorithms to solving Rubik's cube used by practitioners of an obscure sport/activity?
I am SO turned on right now.
> it was just a clever take on the usual puzzle mechanics
Ah yes, the totally usual puzzle mechanics that no one's used before.
They've developed 30-sided die?
This can't end well.
But that's my Prime form of entertainment!

pssh. I could pull it off in a weekend.
Using random data doesn't work if some structured data needs to be read first.
So you need non-random random data. :)

DECE? More like FECE!
As in, poop.
Get it?
Oh never mind. :)

I hope I'll be able to survive!
I hear they're meeting up with the leaving iPhone developers for a dance off!!!
I read that as
"Apple, Others Hit With Lawsuit On Ethernet Pants"
"If You're Good At Something, Never Do It For Free"
not this crude matter!
I've always thought it was Wensleydale cheese.
Oh come on, it's not even fair! Kirk would need to be blindfolded to make it a challenge. Sheesh.
rah rah rah rah!
Luckily, my wife doesn't read slashdot.
Threat or Menace?
He should dress up as the Joker while he's at it.
That for all it's faults, Montreal has really beautiful women there.
Just an FYI.
