Theres a few reasons for that and none of them are good. I buy a pc, we will say for gaming. In 6 months my pc will be a mid range gamer pc and will sell for $1000+ less then i paid for it, in 6 months a mac will still be...boring, fairly useless (for me), and still very expensive.
Not only that, i like to build my own pc, its far easier to replace(defective return) pieces of hardware from a retail store then it is to get a new piece of hardware from a prefab vendor. Its also fun.
Because sooner or later people will get sick of the same old "wheel" and want something new. The wheel was re-invented on psx and saturn, the birth of affordable mainstream 3d capable hardware. Games werent always made of polygons.
Ive been an avid gamer for as long as i can remember, which is why im qualified to comment here. I dont claim to know what the next leap of gaming will be, 1st it was mud, then 2d, then 3d, but i can say the true next generation of gaming wont be around for a long time because all anyone cares about is new faster hardware and pretty graphics. Nobody thinks outside the box anymore, nobody.
Thats not always a bad thing, i mean damn, there are a ton of games coming out this year that i must own, and same went for last year, but all of it is the same, nothing is really new.
Back in the day..like that day 3-5 years ago, i think it was a Tuesday, PC games were optimised again and again to make them run perfect as can be, these days most pc games run like ass on any system regardless of specs, why? Because of junk code...now we know where it might be coming from.
Is this the reason alot of games that come out now just utterly suck beyond beleif?
I mean wouldnt it make sense for a developers vision to be made by them and not have pieces sold off to the lowest bidder, how much extra time will a dev team have to spend fixing or tweaking the outsourced code once it comes back, and what happens when that code requires patching in a game thats already shipped? Does the publisher do the work? No, the original dev team does, and they dont even get paid for it!
Google shouldnt have to remove the info until the original websites they were posted on do. Google is a information system, built to know all, whos to say the search wasnt for the other guy of the same name, what if he had killed someone, but the warning on google was removed cause mr accountant was a retard.
Someone needs to kicks this guys and anyone else who buys stuff from spam ass's asap. Sooner or later he is going to get screwed on a spam scam and i hope its a big one a really really big one.
Contamination, i dont think so.

Nasa decomtaminates everything it sends to other planets, they make sure they are as sterile as possible so they dont affect the planet or its possible inhabitants in anyway.
I would be far more into learning Linux if it were a serious gaming platform. I use Windows now, and im trying to learn Linux but...i really have no use for it so when i hit a wall and cant figure something out i just give up.
Where is Paul Verhoeven when you need him!? Whats next, Robots that drive cars! Matrix here we come, someone call James Cameron and that kid from the Wonder Years quick!
Everyone should just email EB and say they wont shop there ever again unless they fix the problem and get the money back to the victim. They are a big company then can eat the loss with no problem.
George Bush cant have sex, Jesus forbids him to, he told him during one if their late night oval office chat sessions they seem to be having these days.
If you have windows you should install iespyads, its a free program that will block most spyware/adds via the web. It cant help if you download it but it will keep tracking cookies and java off your system. Then scan with ad-aware once a week and you should be fine, i have had any spyware since installing iespyads over 3 weeks ago, at least none that can be found with ad-aware 6 and pestpatrol
If you have cookies you have spyware, windows or not, cross domain cookies track useage on tons of sites and record that info when you visit another that uses the cookie.
Im sure this is happening because Dell's once bright image is fading into darkness and they are quickly becoming the next Packard Bell, selling junk computers and worse support for them.
I dont get why its so hard for them to secure these damn things, why dont they use a custom os and custom software and lock the damn source in a vault where nobody can get it. This is far to important to leave unsecure, if they cant promise 100% unhackable voting then they shouldnt use it period.
This is just crap, if they wanna do this they should lower the retail price, then charge the difference by feature in the firmware upgrades. Who's to say they will ever release the features you already paid for...why should they since they have your money already?
if people need a website to figure this out we have problems, me and my friends were doing this with free cokes when we were 12 without any help. Whoever made that has too much time on their hands and more so then any other geek they need to GO OUTSIDE!
i agree, i dont like bush for many reasons, but this really has nothing to do with him. would i like to blame him? sure, but i wont because its not his fault. i live in ma myself and oddly enough this is the 1st ive ever heard of this program...
I dont even see why this was all held up, judging by how many people were on the list i think its obvious to say THE PEOPLE who are suppose to make decisions in this country wanted it to happen. Ive never met a single person who said they didnt want to be on the list, lets see...get tons of phone calls from people you dont wanna talk to about products you dont want, or not...decisions decisions!
Everyone blames Windows and MS for this bs, lets be honest for a second, if Linux had as many users as Windows there would be virus's for that too, maybe not as many but they would show up. It cant be stopped, no code can ever be perfect or free of bugs and when you have billions of people using the same software finding and exploiting bugs can be as easy as going to google.
Lets face facts, if more windows users took an hour and learned a little bit more about how their pc and the internet works, and how to protect themselves the world would be a better place. I know 5 windows users who have NEVER update their anti virus software or installed a single patch, i know 7 people who leave their pc on 24/7, have broadband yet dont use a firewall, yes i know some fault has to go to MS but if it werent for the idiots of the world who are to lazy to learn about the basics of security and virus's we wouldnt have these problems.
Sony has and still lose's money on ps2, before you type something out why dont you do a little research, 1st gen ps2 cost over $400 to manufacture and it was sold at a loss for $300, Gamecube was sold at a loss as well, although not as big, same thing goes for ps1, genesis, snes, jaguar, get your facts straight.

Ive always wanted to live in an active volcano, send me and all the sports illustrated swim suit models right now and we will start the project.

No because SOCOM sucks, go play Rainbow 6.

I didnt mean they were losing money, i meant their product has gone from half decent to utter junk and people are starting to see that.
