  1. Re:And that's why.... on How Journalists Distort Science with Balance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The NYT, the BBC, Al-jazeera, Haaretz, the Washington Post, and Bloomberg all offer news from a variety of perspectives.

    The NYT, BBC, Al-jazeera and the Washington Post all offer the same viewpoint. Sometimes it seems that reading Al-jazeera's web site gives a more balanced view than the other three. The Washington Times and Wall Street Journal would offer some balance there.

    Haaretz offers a (centrist?) viewpoint on Israel.

    Bloomberg offers, mostly, financial news.

    That's bungie.net - a site that always has been, to this very day, controlled by internal Bungie employees.

    The fact remains: when they were developing Halo originally, the current Mac 3D hardware available was absolute crap. They started on PCs with that knowledge that Apple would (hopefully) catch up.

    AOL doesn't use CDRs to distribute their products. So, what's your point?

    I love these huge companies that cant take it when the average joe bites back a little. We all hate mosquitos but we have to deal with them.

    Actually I, like Best Buy, try to kill them.

    The thing is these customers do not make Bets Buy and money and in many cases cause them to lose money.

    No, this is not correct.

    Halo was originally being developed for Macs and PCs with the Mac version scheduled to be released first.

    Development for both was being done on Windows PCs. Sorry if you believe otherwise, but you're incorrect. The coding was being done on PCs.
    The art/media, however, was being created on Macs.

    If you don't believe me, you can read it directly from Bungie.

    You'll be pleased to know that Halo's development originally commenced on the PC because the 3D stuff on the Mac wasn't up to par at the time.

    Then MS threw tons of cash at Bungie and they sold out and Halo became a Xbox game (and laster a PC game). I feel it was a smart move on Bungie's part, even though I did send an email to bungie at the time chastising them for selling out.

    And last election FoxNews claimed victory for Bush well before it was officially called. All media outlets have their own biases that they use daily on a large cross-section of stories.

    If you're referring to 2000 Fox wasn't the first to call it. THat's another F911 fabrication.

    As far as this article goes, the author sites Slate as a good and reliable site. He also, strangely, doesn't mention littlegreenfootballs.com or powerlineblog.com, both of which were very intrumental is breaking the CBS document scandal.

    Halo was not "born on the console". It was born on the Macintosh. Microsoft got hold of it and changed that, however.

    Sorry, but Halo was being developed on PCs for the Mac and PC. This has now come full circle with the early Xbox Next development kits consisting of high end custom Apple G5s.
