as much as 3/4 of the manpower goes into art and *not* code.
Well, it seems to me that is precisely the game industry's major faux pas. Everybody's just trying to copy bloody Hollywood instead of doing what they should: games.
Won't anybody think of the games??
"First off, Mac users on average pay more for their computers, are self-selected because they tend to know more about technology than your average PC buyer,..."
I remember people making fun of Macs and Mac users, because while pc users got used to count them, 65536, 16777216, in the Mac world you had "thousands of colors" and "millions of colors". Pretty savvy, I'll say:)
Would someone be so kind and explain those gentlemen the difference between their claimed loss and the sharp reality of no revenue? They cannot lose what they don't have.
Still, I don't recall reading about the greatness of their choices.
Xbox360? Bloody brilliant. Turn a 360 and get some more. Of the same?
PS3? How imaginative and original is that? Truly awesome. Take a PS2, add a bit to it, and get some more. Of the same?
I for one can't wait to see the fun-and-original-gameplay-loaded-that-couldn't-pos sibly-be-seen-in-the-xbox-or-ps2 games that are surely coming, really!...
Wii? I don't know, but wouldn't Gamecube2 have been a much better name?:)
(...) suggested in its patent filing that consumers be allowed to avoid the feature if they paid broadcasters a fee.
Sounds fair, but if I pay, will they remove the commercials altogether? No?... thought so...
Ok, so I can't change the channel... can I switch the damn tv off? Can I shoot it!?...
enter a remote control car strapped to a camera.
I'm not quite sure it'd work...I'd rather have instead a camera strapped to a remote control car... unless you can get a camera with wheels!
1) The US can request extradition, but US residents are protected by the constitution
I wonder exactly which events of the past years allow one to think this means anything, anymore. The Constitution is not what it used to be. hmmm... rephrase... is not respected, not anymore.

And proof that there will always be some idiot will make wild assumptions re: other's musical tastes. (...) (you probably hate hip hop, but I guess that's your loss)
Well, to say that hating hip hop is a loss is a wild assumption on it's own.
Up the irons.
Well, nobody really forces you to. Those basic features are still there, and usually at 5 button strokes away (4 for the pin and 1 for the amount you want to withdraw.)
All the other features are just a plus, and very nice to have (namely inter-bank transfers and services payments.)
About the media center, funny you mention it, whereas 15 years ago it would be common to see a DOS prompt in some machines (really!), nowadays you get some BSODs. Hilarious...
It's a tool that directors would use to quickly mock up the ideas of a story and see what's going to work.
Yeah, sure, because when I think of good, well thought and well written stories, I think of that wonderful second trilogy.
Unless those films were meant to mock the fans, in which case they very well lived to their expectations!
sigh... since when do pretty graphics make the story? Seems the gaming industry's been stuck with this too...

Born stupid? Try again.
Well, I've always heard that time is money...:)
Anyway, how healthy (or how "curable") you are depends on your personal wealth too, so it would be only a natural step forward, really... I find this last fact even more scary, because that's what's happening today.

Well, if all goes according to (their) plan, all that will soon be illegal too, so there's nothing to worry about!
Interaction is great and all, but please give humanoid NPCs more rigid joints!
NPCs are great, but please give them a brain. If you're interested in the gameplay, that is.

And here I was, thinking that CPU&GFX performance alone would make games automagically fun. Guess I was wrong, then...
Seriously!
I've always thought the pictures spoke for themselves.

More often than not they seem to go together, hand in hand :)

I think I speak for the entire Star Wars fan community when I say, with all candor, "quit your fucking bitching already".
eheh! gotta love those logical fallacies

"Yet another reason to stick with plain old MP3 files."
?!?! Was there ever a reason *not* to choose mp3 (or ogg, e.g.)?
More importantly, was there ever a reason to choose WMA+DRM (or WMA even w/o DRM...)?
"The U.S. has just moved one step closer to banning all Internet gambling sites" hosted in the U.S., right?
Cue that scene in Dumb & Dumber, when Lloyd reads about Man landing on the moon:
"No Way! WE LANDED ON THE MOON!"
