Not exactelly. Here's more wikitrivia for you: the CPU of the SNES was a Ricoh 5A22, which was based on the CMD/GTE 65c816, itself a version of the WDC 65C816. Now, the WDC 65816 was also the CPU of the Apple IIGS, and that is why the Apple IIGS was used as an early SNES devkit. Also, some SNES games had a built-in processor, the Nintendo SA-1, which was also based on the 65816.
Eye candy alone, a good interface does not make. It has to work well too. Position of elements, system-wide consistency, clarity of function: are you taking these in account?
I think it was Dawkins (or was it Rand?) who said: it's amazing how religious people can have their ideas in compartments. That is, sometimes you deal with the world as it is, perfectly rational; then, once in a while, you put reality aside, go to the church/shul/mosque and surrender your brain to the myth.
(not all myths are about deities, just listen to any left-winger talking about the virtues of socialism and you'll wonder if he has ever learned anything about the past century's history)
The artists also depend on their reputations, which are damaged by the inferior quality of pirated copies sold to the public.
Bullshit. If I buy a pirated CD and it skips, I know it's because the pirate didn't use a good blank, or burned it too fast; if I download an MP3 and it sounds tinny or muffled, I know it's because it was poorly compressed; but if I go to a store, buy a CD, and it doesn't work on some players, can't be ripped, or infects my computer with malware... now THAT is sure to make one stop buying legit CDs completely!
I just can't stand earbuds. Lightweight supra-aural headphones are far more comfortable. For example, the one that came with my father's old Walkman was great (y'know, early 90s, when Sony's stuff was not utter crap).
And therefor when Johnny - 10 years old - goes to his grandma's to help her clean and re-install her PC, she'll refuses to let him uses some CD-R with things handwritten on it, and that instead she'll sacrifice some of Johnny's future heritage buying a Vista box in retail, for fear of viruses.
What if the kid shows her that nice-looking CD of Ubuntu that ShipIt sent him?
These days, the only new Sonic game I really want is Project S. It's a fan project that aims to complete the infamous cancelled Saturn title Sonic X-treme. And here's the most interesting bit: the project is being led by Sonic X-treme's own director, Chris Senn.
But remember the Netscape vs. IE. Al last IE got the market. Not a good product but has more than 85% share.
While it's true that Microsoft played rough, Netscape fucked up real bad; Communicator was ugly, bloated, sluggish, and buggy. IE was actually the better browser.

Haxies are known to make a few apps misbehave.

I thought it was Lenin who said: "Accuse your enemies of doing what you do, label them of what you are."
And that is true. It's logical. If it is a crime to have a gun, only criminals will have guns.
Maybe we really wouldn't need that if OSs and apps were not as bloated as they are?
Dubbing? Who the hell said anything about dubbing, you heretic? Foreign games should NEVER be dubbed. Subtitles are the only way to do it right.

Test your sites on the W3C's validators . That's the only testing you should EVER do.
...but I wouldn't mind voting for Scott Adams!
It's MY art, you asshole!
Check it *here*. Romero himself thought it was kinda funny. By the way... if you get the joke, consider yourself a true nerd^H^H^H^Hhardcore gamer.
Subsidized or not, it seems the Zune is a poorly designed device. The price would not change that.
