http://www.fred-ezone.com/ Fredericton has had Wi-Fi rolled out for a couple years now. The status is degraded because we just got hit by tropical storm Noel.
I don't know how likely it is, but since no one has mentioned it I figured I would. Maybe they were simply offered a big pile of cash to keep quiet, and never speak of it again??
In Canada they go on pre-order Monday. I'm planning spending Sunday night in the car with a few friends to make sure we are first in line when they open at 10am.
"I've seen those guys in action and I would be extremely suprised if there is a lick of traffic that escapes their pipes with out their express knowledge."
I'm terrible with conversions, but isn't 1 lick approximately equal to 142 bytes?
Not sure what exactly you are trying to say - guessing you are a rabbit frothing at the mouth fan boy.
It has been said over and over there will be NO region restrictions on games with the PS3. I don't recall hearing anything about region restrictions being on, or off for the Wii. Either way we aren't going to know until November what either system really delivers so why don't was save the out of the ass speculation until then.
Seriously... come on guys. I personally plan to wait until all 3 consoles are out for a while, then see if one (or maybe more) have the games, and features I want. Maybe Sony will give me what I want, and I'll be willing to pay them for it - maybe they won't.
MS has failed to impress me with the 360 and their game line up thus far. To be honest though I am hopeful / excited about the Wii, but you never know it might turn out to be a turd. Point is there is so much smoke and mirrors, and hype around console launches it's stupid to speculate and get all worked up about every half baked press release and "insider speculation".
I've seen countless stories about this in various media outlets, and I seem to be missing the point or something. Everyone seems so shocked, and outraged by this as if it's not common place in "Corporate America". I shocked that a company actually got caught, and more so the over the top reaction of the media.
The sad part is the monitoring of a few board members is, and likely will continue to get more coverage/outrage than the Bush administration doing this to the whole country.
"...purchasing managers that it's in their 'best interests' to pay attention to energy conservation."
Congress asking managers to use "common sense" (the next buzz word I bet)??? Hopefully this doesn't catch on because I'm sure the 4 horsemen surely can't be far behind!
It's always entertaining as hell to watch someone else punch themselves in the nuts. If this is where MS goes, that's pretty much what they'd be doing.
I have not RTFA, but I would guess the reason MS beat Unix is because Linux is picking up. I'm curious how much of this is real 'gain' for MS, vs Unix 'loss'.

No.. it had it's time, please let it die.
John Dorvack made sweet love to a half monkey, half donkey thus conceiving Norman & Spolsky.
is what I thought I read at first *gulps more coffee*. Boy it would suck to be that guy.
You sure your brother wasn't pulling your leg? I hope not since I've got pre-order #2 at the EB on Prospect in Fredericton :O

"Trying to keep the cool Japanese games out of the Euro and US markets is the problem"
From what's been said the PS3 games aren't going to be restricted by region, so you should be able to order Japanese games and play them in EU or NA.

"to get court-issued warrants"
Why bother when the non-court-issued ones are readily available?
Just imagine how fast this guy will blow through the McDonald's training materials! He's got Assistant night shift supervisor written all over him...

I hope the author gives some credit to Isaac because it sounds exactly like a chapter in "The Solar System and Back", which was published in 1970.

... "DRMocrazy"
Next Step: PROFIT!
Beta testing...?
"... MacBook in a stunning new black enclosure."
And here is the new MacBook logo
"...makes it sound like some alternate reality...Steve Ballmer with his Mighty Chair!"
That doesn't sound very "alternate" to me.
Ah another New Brunswicker! I haven't seen any here in Fredericton, but I haven't been looking either :P

Best thing of all, it there is an open and documented API available.
