Of course there's no need for both things. There's also no need for 300 cable channels when I only want to watch 5. Unfortunately, I assume logic will continue to be irrelevant when when cable and satellite companies are also the high speed internet companies. The rules about what constitutes a winning hand may have changed, but they're still the only ones holding any cards.
I enjoy driving. I enjoy privacy. I like to be close enough to visit friends and family, and far enough away so those visits require advance planning and justification. I have friends who live in the city, and everything about that environment feels like a perpetual invasion of my space. Give me a supermarket within 10 minutes and a mall/movie theater within 30 and I'm happy. I spent 10 days in Tokyo, and despite having no trouble getting around with their very nice rail system, as I arrived back I found myself looking forward to driving myself back home.
My toggle button now either pins it to top of your screen, or just leaves it at the top of the comments and lets you scroll past it. It used to go over to the left, but I guess they tossed that out. No problem with white title bars or rendering speed.
From purely a tech perspective, it's pretty cool. The facial recognition to login and being able to control the dashboard by waving your hands was impressive. Ultimately though, much like the Wii, I don't think this will lead to many games that will interest me. Maybe even less so than the Wii, since the wiimote at least had buttons.
Mine made it 2 years and 5 months before the RROD last month. I was actually pretty happy about it, since the timing of my purchase made it seem like I had one of the more problematic batches, so I was hoping it would crap out before the warranty expired. Factor in that the console they returned to me was far far quieter than the one I sent in, and that this isn't really the time of year for blockbuster game releases and I'd say it actually worked out pretty well for me.
Nothing in the linked article or the other various reviews of the two cards I've seen today concludes "the Radeon didn't show a high improvement over the cheaper Radeon 4870."
I didn't like the demo either, and I haven't played the full game but the feeling I got was that it was just a bad area for a demo. You were facing a ton of bad guys with little ammo, and while that may be the normal situation for the game, its a poor choice to get acquainted with the game's controls. Given some easier into areas maybe I wouldn't have found the experience so frustrating.
People complain about this sort of stuff whenever a new OS or new big SP comes out but the reality is this: if you have relatively recent components made by prominent manufacturers, your stuff is going to work 90% of the time.
And if that isn't good enough for you a year after that, 99.9% of recent name-brand components will work flawlessly. I waited a year before installing Vista and the only thing that I didn't get to work was my ancient PC game controller since vista dropped gameport support, and its awfully hard to be mad at them for that since the gameport was essentially obsolete 10 years ago.
This isn't exactly accurate. Buying something like rockband songs or using the gears 2 download code ties the content to your xbox live login. If your xbox dies (not exactly unlikely) and you get a new one, logging in enables you to re-download all that stuff.
Your point still stands however, since 20 years from now xbox live probably won't exist in its current form and you wouldn't be able to re-download anything that you lost.

I run 64-bit Vista and everything 'just works' - old and new games included.
Lets not leave out the crappy job that the military and these enterprises did with their security audits.

The head of the amazing Italian place would probably trade place with the head of McDonalds in a heartbeat.

What doesn't work? I've been using the firefox 3.5 betas and I haven't noticed anything overly broken.

She's that woman your PC searches for with its free cycles.
Yea, Blizzard is in for a big surprise if they think they'll ever be a successful company without officially supporting linux. /eyeroll
I play rhythm and fighting games on my LCD all the time. They're completely fine.
Windmills do not work that way!

Some of that stuff looks like it took a legitimate amount of work. I'm sure this delayed starcraft and diablo by a year each.
That's weird, I always thought of them as a place to pick up girls.

Why not just power down?
Perhaps. Luckily such a scenario will never occur.

Sure, take them all.
Wrong meaning of plot. This is referring to a small patch of land.

No. It would be the position of game companies that their games are pirated too much if 2 people downloaded them.
Pirated games that have pirated networks have nowhere near the same number of people playing them.
