and, when they die in the Sims 2, I prefer to keep them at a retirement home, so they won't wake up the old folks too much (they live upstairs, the bottom floor is for cars and aspiration rewards).
They've realized that they've spend most of the budget and need to start cashing in now
Not necessarily. Just examine the Sims and Sims 2 rollouts, and expansions. In all cases, right before a major release, they stop talking about the other platforms it will be released on, and talk about the platform that's going into release in the next month or two.
What this means, in short, is that they want you to buy Spore for the PC first. Sure, it will be available in a Mac port about six months later, and on consoles about 3-6 months later, but they want you to buy the version of Spore that's in betatest and almost ready to go.
Now, if you don't have a PC, don't fret. It will be released on the other platforms, they just won't talk about them until it's been out for probably 30 days (to get maximum buying of that version). This also allows them to bug fix for the other versions, in terms of playability - any obvious problems/glitches will magically disappear in the later releases. The advantage of the PC version releasing first is they usually post the patches to that online as well.
I'm still planning on waiting until Spore for the Wii comes out. I'm not buying a new laptop this year, and if it doesn't run on a Wii or a Mac mini or my (supposedly old) WinXP laptop, I'm not paying for it. But I will buy Spore.
There they speak about how it will be released for the Wii, PS3, and xBox360 most likely three to six months after coming out for PC. They also talk about how they always release the Mac versions a few months later (they just released Sims2:OFB for the Mac six months after the PC version).
No postings there to contradict any of this.
Therefore, the conclusion should be that it will be released for WinXP on schedule, and have console versions shortly thereafter.

But... it's ducks! And hunting! In your living room! It's the best of both worlds! You don't have to even get out of your recliner, and if you finish your beer, you just have to ask your girlfriend/wife/hound dog to grab you another out of the fridge!
That's why Jesus invented the Beer Can Hat with a sipping straw.
Lots of money - the movie titles sell for outrageous prices.
However, since they don't work with anything I have, it really doesn't matter.
On a practical level, if you just wait three years, to 2009, HDTV will be the TV standard and retail for $300 or less, HD players will cost only $200 or less, and you can be sure whichever format you buy them in is the winning format, instead of shelling out a few thousand dollars today.
Do you really need to see the sequel to Underworld in HDTV that much? I know Kate Beckinsale is hot, but she's not that hot.
Now, if you just wait one year, you'll be able to watch the pirated version on a PC that sells then.
Uh... what, exactly, is tactical feedback? Maybe you meant to say tactcile feedback?
It's when the glove constricts to simulate what happens when you punch a steel wall or have your opponent stomp on your fist with his boot when you do a flying ninja move.
Ouch!
Mind you, it's better than what happens with the optional underpants...
oops, sorry, was just thinking about how cool the martial arts games are going to be with that one... and since Nintendo is making sure many of the normally Japan-only games are available in Europe and the US, we get to play them!
Kid 1: Man, my parents promised me this PS3 thing and now they say I have to wait until April 2007! And I can't even afford the games for it, plus most of them are those lame FPS and Sports games - nothing fun...
Kid 2: Yeah, well my parents said if my first mid-term report card has 3.0 or better, they're buying me a Wii first thing in October - and with the money they're saving, they'll let my buy ten games that I want, in every gaming genre there is!
No, it's because games are starting to fill DVDs and as a game developer I can tell you we'll need a lot more space pretty soon. At least with BluRay we'll have enough space for a few years, 360 and Wii could well be hitting the limit for data-storage on disk at launch, no room to expand later without a new hardware revision.
More splash screens do not a fun game make.
Games that cost 10 Euro less on a box that retails for less than 200 Euro on the street and aren't just FPS and Sports games - now that makes a fun game!
in terms of those suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.
A lot of the people we used to think were suffering from dementia actually are suffering side effects from drug interactions.
And the tests used to determine words vary - some are as simple as the Letter S (tell me all the words you can that start with the letter S), some involve giving you three words to remember, having you do a puzzle (like saying the letters of the word WORLD backwards), and then seeing how many of those words you correctly recall.
There's also a test, the Boston Naming Test, which involves recognizing pictures and giving the word for the picture - however, it's culturally biased towards Boston, and doesn't work so well with other populations.
I meant the variation between a specific individual and another specific individual being greater than the variation of the whole versus the whole - except in certain areas.
Well, most of the UW is running Gigapop, and even some of my Fremont neighborhood is, and there are plans afoot to wire and wireless the whole city with 10/100/1000 to the city limits.
But I was thinking of everyone else. I grew up in the boonies and didn't live in a city of more than 1000 people until I was 13.

Why not just use roman numerals, and make it a regular sequel? Then they could just call it WiII.
I claim prior art. All your patents are belong to Will.
Well, why don't they make some knockout mutants and then look at the brain function? It seems like the logical next step.
Because humans take 16 to 22 years to develop full mental capacity. They'd be better off copying the segments into mice and making intelligent mice. I think we should call the ones with 10 segments Pinky and the ones with 220 segments Brain.
Just make sure they don't escape from the lab and try to take over the world.\
Also, if you thought outcries over stem cells were a bother, wait until we have adults without such segments. Some might even get elected to higher office...

Kid 1: Dude! You're getting a Wii! Way to go!
[kids high five Kid 2]
Look at their list of games that previously were only in Japan - they span about ten different genres.
Now add their new genres of Brain Games too.
That will start you off.
Luckily, you can play all of them on the Wii and the DS.
Because you get classic games on that with your Wii for a lot less money.

4. Profit!
Pinky: Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight?
Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky: try to take over the world!
No, that's an obsessive compulsion. Pinky's the one with the form of dementia where you can't remember the word.

Then increasing the wireless transmission rate any higher is kind of pointless, isn't it?
