I just find it... I dunno... sad? offputting?...that billionaires pretty much choose to blow off steam about the same way Bubba in the trailer park does, just more expensively. Booze and drugs and whores. Outside of technical endeavors, we are ultimately an uncreative species.:(
It's questionable, however, whether the world is ready to explore themes of race and domination in the context of a videogame console ad.
Yes! We must remember the world is nowhere near as sophisticated as globetrotting ace Guardian video game uberjournalist Keith Stuart! Yeah, I know. Ad hominem. It's Friday.
Although not as wilfully controversial as Benetton's infamous 'United Colours' campaign, many viewers will be unwilling or unable to decode the imagery until it becomes about two different colours of plastic.
Unwilling to decode? What is this? Dr. Phil?
Persoanlly, I decoded it as a hot lesbian domina scene. Yum yum.
Importantly perhaps, the ads are for the European release of the white PSP and are appearing on billboards in Amsterdam rather than in the US where racial tension remains a fraught issue.
I hear the next series of billboards will picture Mohammed holding a PSP.
That goes beyond stupidity into the realms of absolute idiocy, assuming it's an accurate report.
And therein lies the major flaw of Slashdot summaries which leads to vast amounts of whining and hand wringing and the spoiling of undergarments over something that didn't actually happen like the summary claims.
The elected nutbubbles of this state (California) are selling us out to a foriegn country, falling over themselves to give handouts to criminals for which even citizens could never qualify, and having difficulty in understanding why people get upset when released sexual predators return to their old habits. They make the same mistakes over and over and over and over again like broken robots. If they announced tomorrow the revelation that the Cal state legislature was under the control of insane alien parasites, I wouldn't even blink, because they are the biggest pack of zero intellect scumpuddles ever to walk this world.
And Bush & Co. are right there with them on the immigration issue with same old tired lies and same old tired rhetoric.
And even with term limits, the districts are so gerrymandered that you just wind up with a clone of the previous extremist that occupied the office. And when Gov. Arnold introduced a proposition to take the redistricting task away from the politicians, the dumb sacks of pigshit voters turned it down mainly, based on post election polling and interviews, because they were too fucking stupid to understand what it was.
In the end, all we have is that vote in that booth. There's too much money that determines what names appear on that ballot in the first place. You think a wiki is going to help? I know web surfing technical professionals who still don't know about the original Wikipedia.
Seriously, I look at the situation here in California, and I can't any workable solution other than armed insurrection (a concept I mention only in the theoretical, dear NSA spooks.)
Nonsense. I've done two complicated wedding DVDs using iMovie and iDVD and a host of other audio and animation software on a dual G4 Mac with 512Meg. It all worked smoothly and quickly.
It wasn't the concealment, illegal as it was, that caused the collapse, though, was it? Even if they went back and hid the side deals better, the bankruptcy would have still happened. Man, didn't anyone see The Butterfly Event or The 4400? Reverse temporal engineering is fraught with peril!
...these days that does not bring out the conspiracy yahoos?
Seriously, some days I just want to punch all the cryptoloons in the balls. And if they don't have balls, I'll graft donor balls onto them and punch those.
I had this relative who was doing something really stupid with his/her computer so I said "Hey, stop that" and he/she said "Why?" and I was all like "Ooooo, I'll give you such a pinch!" and they were all like "OK, OK, I'll stop doing that" and I said "Well alright then!" and then they double clicked some malware infested program or something.
"Agile puts the emphasis on producing demonstrable iterations of a game almost immediately into production, creating prioritized vertical slices that iterate on the most critical elements and features. The method also puts great emphasis on the organization of teams and the relationships therein, as well as the cycles in which teams must plan and carry out their project objectives."
So the game is to figure out what bullshit like this means?
Slashdot Mirror
Can it be set up to show *only* the nude scenes?
That's young children, though. Their neuralchem nets are still in some amount of flux.
Heck, I think most prostitution should be legal.
But really...it might show something about the Google boys' characters, but it doesn't show them as criminals.
Yet.
If there's one universal truth to remember about human nature it's this: behavior is consistent.
People aren't nice-nice in one situation and petty-awful in others unless one or the other is a deliberate facade to facilitate an agenda.

Has the NY Times been asleep for the last 15 years?
No, just in their own (very) little world.
He comes off as yet another low grade intellect that somehow got a high paying executive position. He must be the kid or brother of some muckity muck.
Anyway, to paraphrase Lois Lane in the animated Superman series, I will *personally* lead the army against anyone who disables my fast forward.

al-Qaida, witches, devil worshippers or gangs
And those Necromancers and Daedra worshippers! Kill 'em all!
ObGrrr: Grrrrr!
Sorry. Too much Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion for me.

It's remarkable from the perspective that so many people still bend over and happily take it from Microsoft.

Go for it. As an avid MP3 "stealer", I can hardly complain. :)
The greatest genocidal doctor in history...
I thought that was Dr. Phil?

Damn, I need more vacation.
Their name was "Customer"? That *is* weird!

Um, I had my first personal computer in 1981. An Apple II.
Dude! Give us a link!
So what you are saying is we need to keep an eye on those damned bees.
Damn! I knew it! All that buzzing and fuzziness is just a front!
So the game is to figure out what bullshit like this means?
I call it my "afternoon snack fund".
The out of control evil capitalism of Microsoft or the out of control evil statism of the EU.
I think I need a bit of a lie down.
