That's a good point, I always visit websites waiting for the release of a console or game and stop going after its out. To counter your question: How many people who visit an XBox 360 site pre-release would stop actively attending because their console is working?
While suing M$ is probably a very extreme thing to do, he does raise a very valid point on defective merchandise. If you take a look at the polls released on most XBox sites they all seem to be asking the same question: "Is your 360 FUBAR?". The numbers that come back are showing 1 in 5 360s have a problem. I'm not sure what numbers M$ has over there at the QA Help Desk, but if they are regarding 20% as a "very, very small fraction" then such a matter should be taken to the public.
They are playing down what is apparently a huge problem, but then this is in line with most M$ product releases. Just look at Windows ME, maybe in comparison 20% IS a "very, very small fraction".
Meanwhile we can rest assure that both Sony and the Big-N are kicking back laughing at the XBox 360's release problems and polishing their systems properly.
I agree to that one. I had somebody suggest mouse gestures to me, and despite the getting used to remembering you have mouse gestures as an option and learning to use a few main ones, I flawlessly gesture my way around the internet constantly.
If you get a chance to try it out, learn it, and actually use it seamlessly, you'll never want to browse the internet in any other way.
One thing i do suggest however is that you set gestures to operate when you press down the right mouse button, left was too much a pain for me and right works a whole lot better. If you try it out, you'll know what i mean.
Anybody else have a weird feeling that Comcast is trying to buy out the entire world.... one step at a time they are acquiring important groups... then again i'm probably just paranoid. Any idea what their real intent is with all these purchuses?
I believe with all their new releases, they don't release linux drivers for a short time after the card has been on the market. I believe its always been like this with ATi, and in the past they never had support for Linux at all. I suspect to see them in a matter of weeks... unless of course I am wrong.... but I do think they take a bit more time to release them
hmmm.. its only stealing if you are caught... or if you enjoy it.... or if you... ok, its stealing, but p2p is what the internet was designed for, right?
