Also missing some big Wii games at launch and in 07. They mentioned Madden for PS3 but failed to mention Madden for Wii, which is making some big waves with its much more inovative control. They also failed to even breath about one of the biggest games for 07, Metroid Prime Corruption.
I love the vestigal argument. "We don't know what this organ does yet so it must do nothing." Way to go, thats how you expand your horizons! Talk about thinking outside the box.
No organ, tissue or cell in your body is vestigal, they all serve their purpose, even if we don't know what it is right now.
I mean, the egyptians were the smartest civilisation of their time and they thought the brain was useless. Hmm, then again......
by using things like cell salvaging, where any lost blood is essentially 'vaccummed', cleaned and returned to the body, cutting tools that seal blood vessels as they cut, special tissue glue that they put on your cuts to stop bleeding. They also dilute your blood so that if anything is lost, its mostly liquid, and before an operation they will give you drugs to boost your red blood cell production.
Pretty much every procedure these days can be done without blood, safer, quicker and cheaper.
haha, good point.
All browsers have their quirks, and a page can validate perfectly but not render correctly. They both might impliment the standards "perfectly" but still render things differently. Why? Cause even in the most stringent of standards, there will always be places where its up to the implimentor to interperet things as they see, and they will always interperet these differently.
Opera is not making this lunge as a desperate attempt for market share. They know they have a browser that LOTS of people rate very highly. I've seen heaps of reviews for opera where the only bad points they mention is the lack of rich text editing, which is being resolved in Opera9 (yay!), and the banner ads. They are simply removing the stumbling blocks that have held people back from using what is the most fully featured (in its default installation) web browser available.
I can hardly believe these comments. Why is everything rosy and beautiful once it goes open source? I hate to tell you this, but Opera ASA is a business, and the only way a business stays in, well, business is because (generally) they produce high quality goods that people want to use. Maybe not with MS;), but when you're in a position like Opera, the only reason the company has survived for the past 10 years is because they have produced a high quality web browser that conforms to standards and people feel more than happy to (previously) pay for.
Opera need to continue to create the highest quality browser to stay alive. They have hundreds of employee's to pay and the only way they do that is by making (IMHO) the best browser.
Open Source != high quality
Everyone loves to jump on the Firefox bandwagon, and while I do very much believe it is far better than IE, it is not IMO the best browser.
Imagine being able to open a blocked popup without having to reload the whole page, or being able to go back and just grabbing the page from your cache, instead of re-requesting the page from the server.
I hope they weren't playing yoshi's touch and go or any of the voice mini-games in warioware. How would you do that one where you can't make a noise otherwise the little critters fly off the tightrope!
Personally I've always enjoyed FH more than Illustrator. Freehand's colour panel and drawing tools puts Illustrators to shame, absolute shame. The only things I want to see in FH from Illustrator is the better layer management, the very sexy mesh gradient and the better custom strokes.
