Cause if there is people that work in conditions that would be illegal in our country, we can either try to compete and lower workers salaries to match the foreign or tax foreign products.
IP Innovation sues for a 20 years old patent they bought from Xerox... good thing those software patents things. It's a pitty the rest of patents don't go the same way, patenting the "four wheeled vehicle with engine" would have been a smart move.
"when the really good games start coming out later this summer and fall"
please, anyone can make a list of those ps3-seller games? I mean, I am sure that next year we will see some action, maybe a new god of war or a final fantasy, but this year? what has been announced this year that will make the masses run to buy a ps3?
my point is, i think sony is going to suck it up for at least a year, and i fear they start to rush developers to take out games not as good as they could have been, and that's bad news for everyone of us, since MS will rush their versions too, or rush games to compete with them.
and he must adapt his code to this limitations, obviously with more horsepower many problems can be solved (an AI is very cpu consuming) but you gotta do what you can with the machine you're given, and you gotta make it fun. I've read recently a quote from Mizuguchi in the Art Futura of Barcelona last year, "If a game isn't fun, you've lost the path"
from the article: "persistent inability for Nintendo to keep units on the shelves"
so a product has lost the magic because it sells as soon as it hits the shelves... I'm pretty sure that Sony and Microsoft would love their consoles to lose the magic this way!
having a wii, I must say that the wii needs new titles, but also I have to say that the life of an adult gamer is hard, I have a wii, I have games, and I don't have the time to play them:(
Is there any reason people has 50Mbps conections other than piracy? I mean, yes, there are legitimate things to do with a conection like that, but how many songs does iTunes sell compared with downloads on emule? And movies? How about HD size? Is there any way to fill an 80gb ipod with itunes bought songs? 20,000 songs, that's about 20,000$, does any buyer of a 5G ipod plan to spend twenty thousand dollars in music? Technology changed music in the early 20th century when the first recordings arrived, and now it's time to change again. DRM is like swimming the waterfall of the internet upwards, and trying to stop others to put it to use towards other ends.
I don't think it is just that. I have no inside of the japanese market, but from what I see, there are a large load of games that never come out of japan, I'm not talking about RPGs, I'm talking about all the manga/anime franchises that have many followers in Japan and almost none outside, or games targeted for the japanese market. Just take a look at all the games launched in Japan for the DS that don't come out, or just come out if they see they are being imported (Osu Tatakae Ouendam / Elite Beat Agents, for example).
Does Microsoft have any "only-japan" title? In the last generation, all these games were for GBA / PS2, now the NDS has proven rightfull heir to the GameBoy saga. In its bad launch, Sony has sold more PS3 than MS XBOX360 in a year, in Japan the struggle is Nintendo vs. Sony once again.
And about the combo Wii60 / PS60, maybe it can work for hardcore gamers that want a Wii and some games to play for fun with friends, but people at large don usually buy two consoles, and there are people out there that actually don't buy the hype and instead compare prices. It's just about having a console for playing games.
2. Apple will release the iPhone, and it will be the must have phone of 2007
I don't believe so, the cellphone market, since the first boom of Nokia, is much more complex than the mp3. At first it will be novelty, then it will burst as noone wants to have "the phone everyone has".
I plainly don't believe you, I mean, I'm not calling you a lier, but if you have hanged around for as much time as your user numbers tells, you will return... see you then:)

phone calls can be tapped (but don't tell anyone, it's a secret)
I swear i read "legal" instead of "illegal"
I think laws of physics are the same inside and outside of Soviet Russia, no joke here, move along.
It's a loose - loose situation.
I'd say it's more a tight grip-tight grip situation, not a loose one.
Unless, of course, he is a zombie pirate.

And from that 100$, how much are EU import taxes?
avoiding lyrics that glorify 'an anti-learning culture, truancy, knifes, violence, guns, misogyny'.
no brit punk?
Combined with therapy, and in the use described, it doesn't seem to me as bad as you say.
patent? we are talking of ip rights, the same as mickey mouse, remember? if Russia cannot make Mickey puppets, USA can't make AK47 toys

I fail to see why EU doesn't apply the same rules to Lego, I've seen for ages many products available for Germany and not for Spain, where I live.

You show me a surgeon trained using the Wii Trauma Center and I'll show you a severe case of ...
hmm, current rate, you mean as in no growth of industry in the next hundred years... seems a little bit pesimistic, don't they?

that someone has read too much H.G. Wells, or just discovered it, or maybe that "evolutionary theorist in London" is HG Wells, after all...
