The company I work for have developed a game called Mozzies for the Siemens SX1, which has zero or fewer redeeming features other than this game. It uses the phone camera to track movement and you're aiming at the centre of the screen. You just have to shoot mosquitoes. It's actually quite easy to focus on the screen.

Executive 1: What if the user is trying to walk and use the phone at the same time? It is, after all, a mobile phone.
Executive 2: Oh yeah, you're right, it's a load of crap isn't it?
Of course, you can't expect the executives to think of problems with their ideas, because that would imply that they were fallible.
A substandard PC for people who don't know how to use PCs?
The demographic of people who don't know how to use PCs is falling off the top of the chart. if every elderly person got one of these, then won't we end up with mountains of useless old-person PCs (costing $13/mo per PC) when the old people pop their clogs?
Maybe it's because there's an obvious divide between the people who compain about video games and the people who play video games. The people who complain about video games (at least, complain about the effects of video games on people who aren't them) are not the people who play the video games; those people are fine with the video games.
There is no one who doesn't read books, you see.
OK, tell a lie. There are plenty of people who don't read books, and you can find them all on faceparty (lol I dont read bookz thats sad), but none of them complains about the effects books have on society because a) books have no effect on society, and b) people who don't (can't) read books are effects on society.
But if the people who complain about video games making you sit around antisocially, or just on your own for a while, also applied the same logic to books, then they'd be shooting themselves in the foot, because they read books themselves. You can't for a minute think that someone would complain about something they actually know anything about, now, surely?

Goddammit, do I look like I signed out? NO!
I know not with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but W0r1d W4r 4 will be fought with aimbots.
But, most importantly, what tasks can you, as a user, do with a $500 PC that you can't with the $500 Mac?

Some poor cretins here have significant others who aren't geeks?
