I second that. While Nintento doesn't have a monopoly on game creativity, they do a better job than the game makers for the PS2 and the Xbox.
Pikmin. Super Mario Sunshine. Windwaker. Mario Party. Double Dash. Bomberman Generations. No blood, no guts, but original and more fun than most titles for the PS2 or Xbox IMO (I realize others may disagree).
The two I will be picking up will be the PS3 and the Revolution.
No, seriously. I have no money. My name is Darl and I gambled everything I had, plus several million dollars of other folk's money, and I lost miserably. I'm roaming the country now, going from public terminal to public terminal, trying to stay clear of the pissed of investors and the hitmen they've hired. I couldn't even sell my soul for money if I tried.
Wow. Talk about an opportunity for the open source community to really tweak performance out of a video card like never before! Personally, if I had money, I'd send some to this.
"I'm sorry, but coming from someone who has used both Linux and Windows extensively for both work and play, I believe that Linux can not, and will not beat Linux."
I agree. Linux will never ever ever ever beat Linux, not in a million years.
Whether Linux kills Windows for the rest of the world is irrelevant to me personally, because in my little world, Linux has already killed Windows. I know some of you have personal business interests in the widespread dominance of Linux, so for your sake, I hope Linux wins out there too. If what I've seen on the desktop in the past couple of years is any indication, Linux has a bright future there. This guy's article didn't appear to have much credibility to me.

Ulrich Hobelmann said: Then why will some movies only show at half speed or with broken sound on WMP??
Anonymous Coward only said that with WMP you won't run into THESE problems (meaning the patent problems). The set of problems you run into with WMP will be a completely different set.
If SCO can get the kind of funding they did for their campaign-o-crap, don't you think certain companies might step up and chip in a couple mil to help the GPL stand up in court?
That would hinder a Windows user's ability to use the internet, but it would not destroy the internet. Linux cannot survive without the internet, but with it, Linux thrives.
If Microsoft found some way to take out the internet, I'm confident that Linux would die within a matter of years. Of course, they wouldn't do that, because by killing the internet, they would likely kill themselves, or at least seriously mame themselves as well. Not to mention it would be nearly impossible to take out the internet.
Rejuvinate the interest of masses? If it looked like a respectible PDA and had basic PDA functionality, I might pick it up myself. However, the utility of a handheld reaches zero when the only thing I can do with it is play games. When I was a kid, this might have been an OK thing for me to buy, but what self-respecting adult would carry this thing around? I think there's a market for handheld devices that can be used for both business and games (and I'm talking serious gaming, not Bejewled), since the GameBoy generation has grown up. But this doesn't appear to be it.

There once was a billionaire nerd
Whose software was simply absurd.
What killed him, of course,
Was he hoarded the source,
And he bloated the hell out of Word.
Peace!
Wowsers. Makes me wonder what the punishment would be for the software vendors whose products are virus friendly?
Ooh ooh! Me too!
Pikmin 1 & 2, Mario Kart Double Dash, Super Mario Sunshine...

I hope other projects such as the Gnome project jump on this ship as well.
If you'd RTFA you'd see that he blames all the appropriate parties. Go RTFA.

Looks like they didn't have a cool 20 million to spend on their web server, either.
I know I have a red hat somewhere around the house, I wonder how many billions Microsoft will pay me for it.
Yick. Somehow watching a video of robots "replicating" doesn't do it for me.
Any relation to Maureen O'Gara?
Not likely. Did you see the picture of Maureen? I don't think that procreation happens in that family very often.

April Fools was a month ago. A month and a day ago, actually. This really isn't funny anymore.
Three bad movies, instead of just one!
Free? Are you sure about that? You pay for it one way or another my friend.
