  1. GoogleBucks anyone? on PayPal vs Google(Buy) · · Score: 1

    Google needs to perfect thier other tech before...jumping into this or you will have a google video of online payments...still if you guys are more that willing to use something because it says google on it(Gmail) be my guest...

  2. small town tech on Can Tech Save Small Town America? · · Score: 1

    If you want a good small town to move your tech company to Ephrata,Wa is a good place to start... The fact the we have fiber optic broadband in the area provided by the PUD through many vendors... 16 miles from I-90..15 miles Moses Lake International airport which sports one of the largest runways in the nation... moderate temps... not much rain..
    oh and close enough to seattle not to be to long a flight for executives. the only down side is the fact we have a high minimum wage in the state. I am sure the midwest is fine..but why move to bfe when you dont have to.

  3. Re:Way to early to call this race on Nintendogs Pummels Sony Products · · Score: 1

    actually the diffence between a used sp and a ds is $50 at least at gamestop. used psps are like $199 its not even a race. i am sure nintendo profits from every unit sold and sony lose a bit of cash. Making up for it with umd movie sales and such.

  4. Re:Real games don't ever end on Miyamoto Says Today's Games Too Long · · Score: 1

    go tell it the mountain brother! it was all about score and getting your name up in the good old days. warioware is kind of like that. the touched version is easy to play through but then you play the real game playing the mini-games for higher scores when they go faster and faster.

  5. Nintendo selling games? who would have thought. on Nintendogs Pummels Sony Products · · Score: 1

    I am curtainly not surprised that Nintendo is doing well. I just traded my psp in for 2 DS units and some games. Very true there are more psp games out there but the fact of the matter is 99% of the just plain suck. Too darn easy to beat. how many racing games do you really need at launch? Nintendogs is a killer app sure but not THE killer app. actually you can take your pick. quite a few good games are coming down the pipe (first coming to my mind would be animal crossing). nintendo games are kind of like porn. You swear up and down to the world you dont play the games then in the middle of the night you crank up the old snes or whatever. dont worry psp will get its killer app with GTA. whenever that comes out I believe its been pushed back yet again dont quote me though.

  6. lets all just run out and buy one.. on PSP Emulation Madness · · Score: 1

    Is this really even news and if so its old news. people have been drooling over the prospect of emulation for a month now. sony is going to force you update your firmware with new game releases so even if you manage to hack your system you then will be force to miss out on playing gta or whatever killer app they have in store. the current batch of games is quite lackluster. I own dynasty warriors, lumines, untold legends and ridge racer.. out of those i have not beaten lumines yet. I have real doubts the psp will really be good for emulation its bearly good for playing movies. how long do you think it takes to convert a dvd to mp4 format. umds lick green donkey balls the movie selection sucks. and for the price of an expensive dvd you get a movie with no special features. I am trading in my psp and the games for 2 ds units and some games. oh and a flash linker card. why do I need emulation when I can play the 1500 gba games. this is called hype. goto the playstaion psp boards a lonely place it is. wait till the holiday when they drop the price a $100 bucks.

  7. Re:Fallacies on Bush vs. Kerry on Science · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ok quick question, how is stem cell research any more wrong than using tax dollar to build weapons to kill people..

    do you think the kurds could have got gassed by Saddam without your tax dollars..

    most weapons are only for retaliation.. 1000 tomahawk missles will not stop one.. rougue fighter.

    and sending thousands more people to die has yet to bring one person lost in the towers back to life.

    heck hows is that afghanistan operation doing anyhow?..

    sorry bout the ramble..lol
