the question truely isnt "vulnerablilitys" but patched ones. A great deal more Apple ones have been patched why the windows ones are still open.
I could see OSX, Linux, Unix, and Win all haveing the same amount of vulnerabilitys, but only the first three go through the effort to patch them as soon as they are announced.
no EB bought Gamestop, most of the gamestop management hasd already been fired.
anyone else find this part kinda funny

The reality is that publishers understand that retailers largely choose not to stock AO-rated games, and so in the interests of producing marketable games, publishers will oftentimes revise and resubmit a game that was initially assigned an AO by raters in an effort to produce an M-rated game. When this happens, the process starts again from the beginning, and each new version of a game is reviewed independently.
you mean that *gasp* the video game industry does the EXACT same thing the movie industry has done for years?? I really wonder about the mentality of these censorship groups.
unfortunatly none of those where code names.
the current OS names have all been different internal code names and the "code name" that apple supposedly gave them have actually been public names.
Nintendo has made more profit than both Sony and Microsoft combined actually. Even on release, the Gamecube was sold at a profit, which considering its price being half of what the other systems where (and the system actually being better capabiliy wise than either the Xbox of PS2) was amazing. Add that plus the profit from the games and they have a really large warchest.
Sony and Microsoft have the money to throw at their machines, BUT they are also taking huge hits whenever they release a system. Nintendo never takes a loss, everything is profit for them. They might not in the end make AS much as the other two, but they dont nearly have the bills either. With the Revolution being estimated at 1/4th the price of both the systems, it doesnt look like Nintendo will be in trouble anytime soon even IF the controller idea doesnt work out.
Nintendo and Apple very much have the same philosophy toward their systems and it works very well for both of them. People can kick and scream that both are dying, but the sheer amount of money they have in the bank proves that those who say they are are cluless as to how to run a buisness.
i have had DVD roms fail in 2 years on iMacs at work, I have had CDs last 10 (Apple CD for a LCII) there are a lot of reasons that optical drives fail, and 99% of them are not manufacturing error but simply wear and tear. there is a very valid reason manufacturers dont garentee their devices for more than a year, electronics, EXPECIALLY electronics with parts moving at high rates of speeds fail often. This is part of the reason it took Nintendo years to make a disk system. They honestly didnt feel (and STILL dont feel) that a disk system is stable enough like their carts where and they are 100% right. Its well know that the medium that was supposed to last forever (manufacturers comments) fails just as fast as a diskett can.
considering I know at least 5 people around me (friends and co-workers) who all had their 360 either fail within 2-3 hours or who couldnt even get them to boot, I have to say I would beleive even the shadiest reports about them currently. And the problems have ranged from the overheating powerbrick complaint to optical and HD failure.
People love to bring up the PS2 optical drive problem to explain it, but even that didnt crop up till 2-3 years after the system had been out. This problem seems widespread and a result of numerous issues.
you know its funny but despite seeing tons of complaints about it the statistics on it only ever showed maybe 5% of their first gen systems having the error. I know with mine the error didnt crop up till almost 3 years after I bought it which could have just been as easily atributed to wear and tear.
Seriously, you think that the US is going to have a moral change of heart when we are the same people who for years placed our national seaboarder miles out into the atlantic and contested anyone who got inside of it while at the same time following the 3 mile rule for every other country despite protests from those companys.
um no one ever said Macs where invunerable, infact many of us OS9ers remember the quicktime worm that made its self known from of all things a MacAddict CD. Its just compaired to windows we are a fractional percentage of as vulnerable as a windows machine is, which is practically saying we are invunerable.
Its basically like saying we are water resistant, while Win users are those cheap burger king watches that break by just being out on a humid day
um idiot, you DO know that iPods can play multiple formats (INCLUDING MP3) too and are in no way locked to iTunes.
It just means people wont use the iTunes music store anymore, IF at all that, since Jobs has been on record saying this is NOT going to happen and this is one of the assholes trying to get it to happen who is saying it will now and not Apple.
Who cares if iTunes is too expensive now, all I will endup doing now is finding the obscure tracks (which is all I ever downloaded anyway and not the rubbish they play on the radio) and rip CDs again which i can probbably buy cheaper now. All it does in the end is make the RIAA look even MORE foolish.
to tie with the disgrace that what the christmas special automatically proves they have never actually SEEN the Christmas Special.
Im sorry, Episode I was the weakest of the 6, but even if it was TWICE as bad as some of you basement living geeks make it out to be, it doesnt hold a candle to the suckatude that was the Christmas Special.
The Christmas Special even makes George LUCAS weep its so bad. THATS saying something.
not really when you consider the likelyhood of death is like 1 in hundreds of thousands. Problem is the one death is picked up by the media out to make a story and gets a lot more focus than it ever should be.
People die drinking a glass of water, but you dont readily consider water a lethal substance? Same as I wouldnt really consider excersizing lethal, but more people die from that than all the "non-lethal" weapons combined.
Do you have any evidence of those numbers? Do you sincerely think that MS will build an Xbox emulator for X360 and only get it working for a couple dozen games? I won't be surprised if at launch the X360 supports more Xbox games than that.
Microsoft said it themselves that the backwards compatability will be there, but will probably only work for at most their big hits which constitutes about 50-70 games. They have also been on record as saying that even those that are compatable will likely still have bugs in them, some of them major. On the otherhand at least with the PS1-PS2 it was maybe a dozen or so games that DIDNT work with the PS2, and Sony said you can expect that same kind of compatability with the PS3.
Square-Enix has been selling the soundtracks to most of the Final Fantasy games (as well as related recording such as The Black Mages) on iTunes for months now, and its become hugely popular, especially given the dificulty in actually obtaining the real soundtracks (usually hidiously overpriced in some small Anime shop IF you can find them)
It would only figure others would follow once people say there was a market.
the GBC didnt allow it either, what it was was that the screen didnt have the entire area in it like it did in the original, so it let you scroll back the normal screen length, but not any further
it really seems funny to me how all Intels bashers (aka. Mac fans) suddenly became Intel enthusiasts
This is not entirely accurate. A very large percentage of mac fans are furious at Apple for switching chips. The debate still rages in the forums about why Apple would do this when CELL was looking so promising.
I smell BS here. Both the PS2 AND the GQ use a online adapter, there is no service other than the maker themselves supporting a service. So if they do go through with the PS2 version, it means Blizzard pulled bullshit out of their ass to justify not completing a game like they where supposed to and to just rush it out because they changed it last minute. If they dont release a GQ OR a PS2 version, it means Blizzard is yet another in the long line of gamemakers who sell out to Microsoft for the money.
Either way this looks really really bad for a company that prided its self for working for the gamers because they are either selling out, or they are lying.

The US could give two shits sadly.

actually there are a number of small stores that use MP3s to sell and not wmv.
It just means people wont use the iTunes music store anymore, IF at all that, since Jobs has been on record saying this is NOT going to happen and this is one of the assholes trying to get it to happen who is saying it will now and not Apple.

ahh see right there he is pretty much garenteeing no one will be infected.
do something major to make the 360 seem like the better choice. Yeah Sony took a BFG to their foot.

cost of the lawyer + losses for having to go through a trial when the accusation couldnt hold up in court.
It would only figure others would follow once people say there was a market.
As for WoW and CoH vs FFXI they all seemed pretty simular with only slight differences to me. I perfered FFXI over WoW myself
no its more its common knowlage numbers for MMOs for Asia are notoriously inaccurate by a large degree.
the GBC didnt allow it either, what it was was that the screen didnt have the entire area in it like it did in the original, so it let you scroll back the normal screen length, but not any further
well that may be true, but they said no online support. The gamecube might not have a service, but so doesnt Sony, and both use a online adapter.
Either way this looks really really bad for a company that prided its self for working for the gamers because they are either selling out, or they are lying.
