Gee, that says a lot about humanities approach to global issues: "It won't affect us, so why not?" Not only are we ruining our OWN planet, but now we're going to ruin another one?
How will this hurt the planet? All they are doing is using solar energy to compress CO2 into liquid form, then heating it back up again to make it rapidly expand back into gas form, giving thrust. This is no different then compressing a bunch of air here on earth and then spraying it back out again. I dont see how this could possibly hurt the enviroment.
Convergence is great in some areas, but not so great in others.
PSX - why?
I have a ps2, I have a DVD player. If I wanted to record TV, I would buy a TiVo. It costs much less then buying all the equipment rolled into 1 package, and also it means its harder to upgrade.
Mobile Phone - good idea!
I like having tons of stuff rolled into my phone, because it goes with me wherever I go. Convergance is a good idea for mobile devices because consumers dont like to take lots of stuff with them. Its a bad idea for home use because consumeres dont mind having 5 different devices at home.

personally I believe that violent video games are an outlet for us to act out our repressed agressions that we naturally have. If anything these kids should have been less violent after venting in the form of a video game for 3 hours. I mean, if ass-jerk cuts me off on the freeway, instead of running him off the road, I'll go home and run over a few civillians with a fictional tank.

Have you heard of Norton Ghost, software that creates a backup image of your hard drive? Symantec has been in the backup industry for quite some time.
