Does anybody else see this as the first step into a total web presence package for people/companies? Imagine being able to have goolge host your domain and offer all the tools to mange your site. Page Creator for the website, PicasaWeb for an image gallery, GoogleGroups for a message board, etc.
And this is why I went for a business degree instead of a IT/MIS degree in college. I hope that being deeply a geek but also with a solid business background I'll be able to manage the offshore team when they ship my coding job over.
Working for a GE subsidiary I see more and more back office and tech jobs slipping away to Mexico, India, and from what I hear China too soon. This is the price we pay to get the "ultra" low prices in many goods and services we buy now. I for one do not welcome our new offshore overlords!:) I'm sure in time things will balance out and there will jobs coming back to USA once companies realize you can't outsource everything. For example Dell pulling their Corp Help Desk back.
Sounds like the beginning of a false demand being rumored to guarantee scarcity later on from frantic parents. What better way to create a sense of urgency than to start saying now, 5 months before launch, that the demand might not be met, and reinforce realtors to push the "Make sure you preorder to lock your availability in!", or "Don't disappoint little Johnny buy now because it might not be available for a long time." crap. It is just a vicious cycle being whipped up by M$. That way they can honk their horn about many preorders there are and blah blah blah...... I just shutter to think of the next XBox/MTV crossover event.
Here is one idea... what if they go the route of something like Google Video. Where they will offer to house all the content i.e. Game and you can charge if you want or give it away. Then if the game becomes very popular they will set a price and take a cut and pass the rest onto you the developer.
This site http://mozlapunk.web-log.nl/ has been quite the center for information regarding the conspiracy that the Nintendo Revolution(NRV) is/was going to be shown this week. It also looks at and picks apart that fake Nintendo ON video.
Evil draws near. From beyond the veil of the world you understand. You cannot turn your back on your heritage any longer. From it you will draw strength. All your life you have rejected the ways of your ancestors. The beliefs of your people. But now you must embrace them, if you are to survive.
I think this is in line with the orignal story of the main character, Talon Brave being a Native American.

Sounds like how a BrainPal from John Scalzi book Old Man's War universe as used by the Ghost Brigades.

No she can already do that. You can see the evidence here in our photo gallery...
