I agree. It seems like the price should be at least a little lower, which is always a benefit as well. Will it be made available in the US or only the EU?
I can't wait for that one to come out! The rumour is that it'll be released with Longhorn and Duke Nukem Forever. I pre-ordered all three last week because some nice man (of some importance, I believe) from Nigeria emailed me last week with the exclusive offer!
If they do indeed come up with a version of Windows with no IE embedded in it, does this mean they'll have to come up with a version of Windows Update that's not embedded in IE? Might I be able to finally use my computer in complete peace?
I just started up MSN Messenger right before I came to slashdot for the day.. and it told me about an update that had to be run before I could continue. Could Microsoft actually care for once about security? Of course, maybe it means they knew about and how to fix this long ago and were just waiting for someone to notify the public before they released it.
oops. not first comment. and double post. my karma is going down the tubes now.
and yes, it has worked well against other forms of crime, just wondering if it will this time...
and about it, they say..."I expect a lot from the PSP, It's stylish like an iPod and you don't look like a nerdy teenager using it."
[sarcasm] oh yeah! designing things to be stylish "like an iPod" is the best way to sell it. quality doesn't matter. people like to buy small white things with a screen on them. [/sarcasm]
wow, you're quicker than I am. Your comment wasn't there when I started typing mine (see below).
Anyway, I tried again and I got it to load halfway at least. Nothing useful though, just the title image and a couple links to elsewhere on corante.com
Wow. There were about 4 channels that used to make me wish I had cable or some other TV service (yes, some of us still use an antenna...) so, make that three.
Can't say I've seen it, but according to the website, they might as well create a show called "reasons we suck" consisting, of course, of watching people play games. Maybe they could have one of the top five sexy 2D girls slide across the bottom of the screen... and if the 1986 version of princess peach isn't up there, I don't know what sort of crap gamers they took a vote from. =P

Now what about the watches? If only we could get Rolex to go after these newly-ubiquitous (in my experience) spammers, I'd be a happy happy guy.

first comment? wow. anyway, good to see the government once again working together... with criminals... instead of against them
Of course, the PSP gets a shout out.

Seems this didn't load for me. Has it been slashdotted already? Impressive, nice work guys. And girls. Or maybe my internet connection sucks.
