an unarmed 17 year old kid was shot and killed. You can't claim self defence when you are chasing someone down and you have a lethal weapon on your person. Why the police ever let him go is truly mind boggling. How could anyone take the story of the person who did the killing seriously?
because there are lots of English actors and it's not that hard to train to sound that way? Imagine trying to teach an entire acting crew to speak a 'new' accent. There'd be no reference, no clear marker for success.
is that the game will be multiplayer in the sense that your city will actually be located close to your friends' cities and possibly interact. That would explain the online component. Think World of Warcraft. It's not necessarily a piracy thing, but heck if it is, can you blame them?
Besides, used game markets do just fine, you just can't continue to play it once you sell it. That doesn't mean ownership can't be passed along though.
How did I get down modded? Windows was the butt of jokes until Windows2000. Windows 7 is their best version yet by far, but considering ME, Vista, etc... how can anyone say " Microsoft has always produced quality products". That's just not true.
nobody's going to be wearing glasses. Nobody's going to have an extra 5 pairs for their friends coming over for games, they'll break, they'll get lost, etc...
3D with glasses is DOA and my guess is this is probably the main reason why movies in the theatre are still mainly 2D. Glasses are gimmicky, people hate them.
I think some people can stand them for special occasions but for long term use, no, just no.
"While Microsoft has always produced quality products and by far they are the best on the industry on lots of products"
How much did they pay you to say that?
and AT&T will be able to charge overages in less than 1 second. I wonder if their servers will be able to throttle you in at 0.7 seconds into a large download.
Let's be honest with ourselves, Copyrights are there to protect reputation, brand and the public good. They prevent people from benefitting from the hard work of others.
Patents on the other hand only serve to attempt to enrich someone, not for coming up with a new great idea, no, but for registering a patent for what the patent office, a place full of people who obviously barely understand the concepts to begin with, deems is novel. What does this actually achieve? Well recently it's been shown to enrich some lawyers, some companies that don't actually produce anything and in general just massive legal fights between large corporations that are essentially acting like 4 year olds yelling:"It's MINE, I don't want to share it."
So, copyright I get, and I support (for a while anyway). I mean Walt's been dead for a long time, that aspect is starting to get ridiculous.
Patents, I dispise. It's greed. It's anti-innovation and it's the part of capitalism I hate the most. Any sort of reform should reduce patent durations to something like 5 years, max. If you can't make enough money off you idea in that time, then you don't deserve to have exclusivity. Rewarding people for innovating once and then milking it is in very bad taste. Why not give them incentive to actually continue innovating?
I hope it takes a page from the Wii and reminds people to stop watching for a while. They could couple it with shots of the consumer looking like a total zombie to convince them to get the heck up and move around for a while.
What about playing that music on a very large sound system at some sort of concert or outdoor festival by, I don't know, a DJ. Just because you won't need it, doesn't mean others won't.

Stop Trawling.

451 million dollars for software? Where are the protests now eh?

The wind doesn't need to stop blowing, it just needs to blow in the wrong direction, keep changing directions, or not be very strong.
now you can have your screen a mere 5-6 inches from your face! Honestly that looks hella awkward and nothing at all like minority report.
why wind is ever considered over solar? I mean, if the Sun dies, so do we, whereas if the wind stop blowing... no power.

Rocket science eh? Now that'd give it some real HP's.
Hell, the term 'blue screen of death' was used to describe a common situation seen in Microsoft's software.

10000 possible passcodes... most systems can try that many in a few seconds. What slow ass computer are they using that it takes 2 minutes?

It probably laid out an incentive to hand out the death penalty. Now there's no conflict of interest.
$16 million for hearing and speech impaired telephone service? Am I missing something here?
What if you buy bomb materials at the grocery, see a movie about making bombs and then go eat at the same restaurant the President is eating at...

Purchased at Best Buy no doubt.
"billions of people could wake up" well that's certainly a reason NOT to do this.
consumers everywhere rejoice!
Seriously, why didn't he just wait for the movie?
