The University of Colorado's non-science-major course on Black Holes, ASTR 2030 (which I'm headed to in about 5 minutes), shows portions of Disney's "The Black Hole", citing it as "How Not To Make A Movie About Black Holes". A survey of "potential villians" at the beginning of class led to a near unanimous first response of "the composer".
One of the most appealing facets of BeOS, IIRC, is the fact that it was FREE. At ~$100+tax, I don't see this flying off store shelves. Furthermore, I didn't read anything about it supporting RISC architecture (did I miss it)?
Gyrobwah?
I guess that's why it still functions perfectly; many systems were used until they barely worked at all. Insanely-long sessions of Super Mario Bros. or Super Mario Bros. 3 (the latter of which is extremely long and contains no save feature) were the death of many a NES console.
Considering the popularity, even today, of unauthorized Famicom/Nintendo clones, I'd say the NES is far from "dead".
I think there are far too many problems with this.
The first is the size of a movie. Any high quality movie is going to be several gigabytes of data. Even on a truly fast connection, a download of that size takes more than a few hours; that is, more than the time it would take to drive to the store and rent or purchase the movie for oneself.
Futhermore, Sony has a history of being much less lax about its DRM advocacy. (Seeing as how, unlike Apple, they are actually involved in the production side of the movie industry, this is not suprising.) Sony isn't planning on making the UMD a home-burnable format for that very reason; if you want to carry around 3 movies, you'll need 3 giant memory sticks,or, probably more convenient, just buy them on UMD. (Or, at considering the price of the PSP, simply buy a portable DVD player.)
iTMS hasn't stopped music piracy; why should Sony's proposed online movie store stop movie piracy?
Lastly, I'm not too keen on the idea of watching movies "on the go". When I watch a movie(which is exceedingly rare) I like to be sitting down, and with as few distractions around as possible. Listening to music may be a mobile phenomenon...I doubt watching movies will become one.
Quite a few things, but probably most popularly the MMORPG Ragnarok Online http://ragnarokonline.com/ Since this MMORPG is a pretty big deal in Korea (and even in the US, among the anime-fan community), it's understandable that greedy people would try to extort for TLDs. Those crazy Koreans.
I don't know about in the UK, but I got arrested here in the US because someone said I stole money from them. It turns out she had the money with her the whole time, and I was released, but the point is that the police needed nothing more than an accusation to go ahead and arrest me.

I stand corrected. Thanks. (I don't download/encode movies, so I was making a best guess.)

Hello, Mario Kart?
Most of this info is not actually analysis, but cut & paste jobs from macreate.net. Way to research.
