I know 2-3 people who failed out of school because of WoW, and more who have had their grades severely impaired -- and this isn't at some state school (probably why they're gameaholics and not alcoholics)
WoW is scary... you think there isn't anyone else throwing their future away for the game, but the problem is pretty common...
We don't go around opening people's doors to see if they're locked, do we? Since when did it become the job of the police to educate the unwashed masses about the evils of their open wireless router?
Personally, I think this sort of tone is a perfect response to the subject of the video; if either was intended to be an unbias representation of fact...
Besides, what kind of unbiased person is going to write that entire goddamn thing...
why can't they include that option anyway? what if *I can't see my desktop.* Why should i have to break focus on what i'm working on if I want to save something?

Seriously, should apple be applauded for forcing people to use a particular standard? My generic school issue PC from 1997 included two USB ports... but it still had the keyboard port, which has saved my ass when i had to pull out a keyboard off an old 486 machine...

The Project head for PMC is actually a twenty something guy. He and some coworkers came up with the basics for PMC after hours (unpaid) and presented their idea to the Microsoft execs. So it wasn't some suit's idea.
I talked to him, hes a pretty cool guy. He demoed a couple of the different pieces of PMC hardware for us, connected them to a projector, ect. The whole time his agent was telling him he had to leave, but he just said "not yet."

What? It isn't McDonald's fault you ate so many BigMacs. Why SHOULD they have to pay? You'd think these people were being forced to eat there..
