You can get the homebrew channel installed, but it's in Wii mode, not Wii U mode.
So yes, you can play the emulators and programs made for the Wii, in Wii mode. Not sure what that allows in usage of Wii U stuff, as I don't own a Wii U. (yet, hopefully by next xmas).
You know what's funny? I notice the same attitude in US (I'm from Europe).
The American public is OK with movies showing all and any kind of violence - from "simple" headshots to horrific torture and mutilation. But when the same movie is showing some skin, they have to mention how disgusted they are. I just don't get it.
Not sure what decade you live in, but in the current timeline, USA shows a lot of movies with naked people getting killed. Sex & violence is how it's done these days. Maybe in the 50's we were squeamish with seeing naked people, but as of 2012, I can assure you that is no longer the case. We enjoy our sex and our violence and if it's together, bonus!
Same thing with games: This week, Ubisoft released Far Cry 3 in Europe (it doesn't come out until Dec 4 in the US). Their "uplay" DRM server immediately crashed, making the game unplayable for all the people who legally bought the game, even for the single-player campaign. Meanwhile, those who downloaded the RELOADED release from Pirate Bay had no problem playing their game, whether they were in the EU or US. And still they don't get the hint. Instead of realizing that their DRM was nothing but punishment for their paying customers, Ubisoft probably came away thinking, "We need more better DRM!@!".
I've been playing Farcry 3 here in the U.S. for a week now. DRM has failed, it doesn't keep it out of the hands of anyone but paying customers.
The interface spends too much time trying to sell me shit. I just want to play my music and podcasts.
I use Winamp with the iPod plug in. Probably doesn't work for ya if you use stream via iTunes, but I have never bought any music via them, so I don't care.
Why would I care to have a flexible phone? What does this give me that a regular phone doesn't? These won't be "foldable" like a dollar bill so it won't go in my wallet. I doubt it would be durable enough to be indestructible so, again, why?
Because the phone would be more durable. Wouldn't be a big deal to keep it in your back pocket while sitting. And seeing as small as phones are now, I could see these being small enough to fit in your wallet. Ya, there ya go. A disposal backup phone you can keep in your wallet for emergencies.
Ever break a phone by dropping it? Won't have that problem with these phones.
wtf is newzbin2? I used USENET but since existence of online forum... what's the point?
Newzbin2 (or any sites like it) is a search engine for usenet and will put the files you select in a convenient.nzb file that you then load up in your usenet reader (that supports it of course), and it will automatically grab the files you had selected.
For example, I can search the alt.binaries.multimedia newgroup for a poster called tvdude, and it will lists the files he has uploaded.
This is more convenient then having to download all the headers in the newsgroup and having to sort thru them to find what you want. In fact, it's made it so easy to get stuff that usenet became more popular and is being targeted now with DMCA notices.
$13.37 is more then I'm willing to spend on THQ games. Even if the money can go to charity. I have morals.
I am stupid. please ignore. at the time it looked like that was the lowest amount, but apparently you can do.01 if you want (but under $1.00 gets you the soundtracks).
I will say Metro 2033 was a fun game to play, but rest the games are just meh.
That would be tricky. Mercury's gravity is a little more than 1/3rd Earth's, so you'd have to hit the surface pretty damned hard to get the debris high enough to make it worth doing. Worse, the kickup would scatter debris all over the surface, contaminating other craters and interesting locations with debris, some of it from the Earth missile. The last part alone would make it a rather terrible idea.
I don't get it. If gravity is less then earths, you would think that stuff would fly higher and farther since it doesn't have as much gravity to hold it down.
I would say having most of your workforce in India, especially when we are talking about decent jobs not factory slave, is far more than a symbolic change.
If this keeps going the only jobs in the USA will be retail, CEO and no job.
Always be service industry jobs until robots get better.
Depends on the pricing structure going forward. If the cost remains reasonable over time, then sure. If they expect us to spend an hundred and a half for Pro every year, then no
It's, what, the fourth sentence of the summary?
"According to these insiders, Blue will roll out mid-2013, and will be very cheap — or possibly even free, to ensure that 'Windows Blue the next OS that everyone installs.'"
Drug Dealer model then? The first one is free, but you got to pay for the rest?
Well guess what--BP is currently banned from government contracts. Would you like to add another condition to justify your outrage?
That the board of directors and the presidents and VP's and everyone else in management be required to do 20-30 hours a week volunteering to clean up oil spills and other oil disasters...
Mainly when it over stuff I say. Generally people take it wrong, and get worked up over it, and I find it amusing.
Someone is always going to get mad, or disagree with what you are saying. And thanks to modern technology, it's even easier to get everyone's opinions and beliefs on matters. While it's harder to ignore, you just need to exercise some self control and let it go.
If you don't like what I say, good. If it makes you mad, even better. If you want to kill me because of it, sweet! I'm in Seattle internet tough guys.
Do we have credible reports of someone actually being killed because of hacking? The media and politicians for the last few years have been hyping the hell out of the hacker menace and the "cyber" war but no one is even providing any body counts
Apparently you're not getting the nature of the problem. This is an issue all over the planet. There are a number of human contributions to the ecosphere. Many of these things are antagonistic, as in the case of the Indian Monsoons, The smoke causes local dimming, reducing the amount of solar energy that gets to the ground (or in this case, the ocean.) The green house gases (and you need to appreciate how fast India's use of fossil fuels is growing and how fast their middle class is growing and they want to live like Americans) are being produced by Indians themselves. They want cars and night life and products that have to be shipped half way around the world. So they're producing more than enough local greenhouse gas to impact their own local climate and the climate of others around them. Poor Bangladesh is already in deep guano. Water is rising, and they live on a flood plain. A population half that of the United States lives in profound poverty and they will be displaced by the effects of Global Warming in this century... where do they go? The likely answer is away.
Anyway, you have these two growing forces pushing harder and harder in the opposite direction and for now canceling out. Alls well right? Not so fast, as the two sides push harder and harder, the probability of a catastrophic failure of the system grows exponentially, So, even though the system is almost completely unpredictable what starts to become clearly predictable it that they are going to be faced with severe flood or drought or both quickly alternating in a bistable environment, and the damage it will do to their society and their people will be simply shocking.
I know this is really hard for people to get, this is absolutely solid science. We understand the mechanisms, We are clear what will happen, we just don't know when. Mount Ranier in Washington State has the dark side. After hundred of years, acid from its vents slowly breaks down the rocks of which its made. Here's the problem. They've discovered catastrophic lahars from the mountain that wash right out to the sea every so often. Huge catastrophes, nightmares that beggar the imagination. Scientists know its coming, but they can't say when, Its already overdue. It could be any time. There are folks living at the base of the mountain and they think its all a big joke and the scientists are full of crap. Not all of them, but a lot of them. So there they live mooning the mountain gawd and taunting fate. The thing is, being smug about someone else's endangerment is pretty crass. Being so ignorant about you own endangerment, well that just make you foolish.
Wow, you got this Fear Mongering thing down. I think you'd have a great job as a politician.
Ya, I live in Seattle, Mt. Rainier is an volcano that can go boom! Guess what? It's not the only one in the Pacific Mountain Range. Or in Washington. And guess what? We don't care, we don't change our lives because of it. When it goes, it goes. Nothing we can do about it. Living in fear because of it is a stupid and wasteful thing to do.

Is there a homebrew channel on the Wii U yet?
Yes and no.
You can get the homebrew channel installed, but it's in Wii mode, not Wii U mode.

Oh boy, I sure can't wait to install an OS with a phone interface on my desktop/laptop, that makes so much sense!
So use the desktop interface then. It's still there.
No point. I'll stick with Windows 7 myself. It works just great, no point in upgrading.
Who knew that 160 chars of text could cost so much? Almost pure profit for any cellular company.
We can talk getting rid of dollars after we do away with pennies.
fucking time.

I found common sense isn't very common.
By running Windows, you are already placing trust in Microsoft. Using MSE seems like a entirely logical extension of that.
That is to say, why bother yourself about one program from MS when you are using an entire OS made by them?
So you are saying since the OS is crappy, it's no surprise that their other programs are crappy?

Do you know what polemic means?
Controversy is the meaning I taking from the usage of the word. Which seems to go with what they are saying in the summary.
... looks like they have Mardi Gras on Mars at some point.
but seriously, that is really a cool find. Maybe it will get some more funding going, after all, there could be oil on mars now...

Repeat after me: the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
Ya, but it serves people policies by pretending it's an issue when it's not.

Whoa!!!! Hold up here. If are already at Generation Z, what are we going to call the next set of brats, i mean, kids that grow up after Generation Z?
And while I remember Generation X, I don't recall any called Generation A-V, or Y.
Did Nvidia doing the naming here?
