And that affected you or 99% of the population how?
Thanks. Moving along, Sony has an excellent hardware engineering track record, as their TVs, the PS1/2/3, their various other A/V equipment all demonstrate.
Sony MUSIC's behaviour has nothing to do with anything either.
Write me an industrial accounting system that is time efficient for data entry and uses some self-documenting interface like a wizard and I'll be impressed.
When you want your data entered quickly and your data-entry people want to be efficient, you want efficient user interfaces that don't coddle people who've been doing their job for years. You create interfaces that make sense, document them to death and do training.
Hire an army grunt who memorized "In situation x, hit green triangle twice" over someone who requires a wizard to enter their data any day. One is teachable, the other is not.
I'd be much more concerned with light requirements. One of the major reasons Sony included a lit ball on their Move wand thingy is to defeat lighting issues. Gamers don't all play in sunlight you know.
Although many road-side fresh-cut french fry places I know of serve something very similar to chips. Only fast food restaurants cut them so thinly.

If you used it for more than a couple hours you'd probably never figure out how you lived without it. No need to move a window to the foreground, when you can just mouse over it and type, or scroll.
PS Windows did have this feature in the Windows 95 powertoys I believe.

Do you actually know what you're talking about, or are you just spouting off things you've read online?
I've directly updated my Fedora installations for quite a while now, without any problems. I intend to do a full reinstall with F13 because I have a new drive to install it on and want to check out the new installer features, but otherwise I would just get a notice like I did in F11 to optionally move up to F12 on my next boot.
There are plenty of people working on Fedora, and the packages between Redhat and Debian distros aren't so different. A lot of the major stuff is identical, since they both depend heavily on essentially third party packages.
Visiting friends and using PCs in libraries count as networked but still require my own USB stick, unless you propose I publish tftp to the whole Internet.

PS it would seem the imagelogr.com domain has been disabled already.
I was commenting based on the wonderfully unintuitive way of moving windows around with a touch pad on a laptop, so yes, almost sarcasm.
It is however what I'd expect as a result.
What would I like? I'd like a context menu when I long-click that offers a 'selection mode' and causes anything I touch to be selected/unselected like holding Ctrl while selecting files in a Windows file browser.
I have to say I quite like the Android long-click menu on all text-entry widgets that offer 'copy all' and 'cut all' for text grabbing that does what you expect.
You mean like my PS2 collection? I can still purchase a brand new PS2 for $100 if my old original fat one dies (and I may very well do that before it goes out of production).
If the game's old enough, you can always run it the same way we run very old PC games -- in an emulator.
On any occasion that I've had a real bug in a game from a good publisher, they've offered me a full refund or exchange when I've called.
The earliest I remember was Aidyn Chronicles for the N64. It had a few quest options which resulted in crashes. Contacting the publisher resulted in exchanging the cart for any other game in their library.
Point being of course not that there aren't bugs in console games, but that a console game certified to run on a given console will in fact run without you needing more RAM or a different video card.
If I buy a game for my console, I know it will play properly.
No such guarantee on the PC.
I can plan on keeping my console as-is for several years (or ten) and still get new games that will play on it, without worrying about video card upgrades or other silly issues.
And yes, I game on both the PC and consoles, but the value of consoles seems downright obvious to me.
Because huge high resolution screens are impossible?
Granted, film has better resolution at this time, but as to scrolling, that's what one of the half dozen other people in the room is for, just like grabbing the tools.

Obviously you completely ignored the context of my comment, both the parent to it and the article its attached to.
The way the scientists in question are behaving is an attempt to convince people, not an attempt to just do science. They're getting involved in public opinion and politics and disliking the media attention that always comes with that.
Whether you're a politician, a preacher or a scientist, if you start making big public statements, the media will ask you stupid questions and you need to figure out how to answer them.
Quite a few of the better app developers also have their own website-based payment options to unlock their apps via a code. Documents2Go comes to mind immediately, as I had the same problem here in Canada until paid apps were unlocked very recently.

lol @ Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 being first releases. Way to miss the point? :)
Truly ironic I thought, considering the use of the word 'Freedom' to replace 'French' when 'France' supported 'Liberty' in the USA.
Just a side-note to all the (not North) Americans who aren't aware, "your" statue of liberty is also on the back of French coins.

Its not even remotely intuitive. Touching for a second should be a pop-up window, I'd expect a double-click sweep if anything.
I've heard it said in the bar that if you injure someone in a car accident you're better off making sure they're done for than helping them.
Injury lawsuits cost a lot more than the vehicular manslaughter charge.

Meanwhile some online games on the PS3 like Warhawk support LAN play and dedicated server modes just fine.
