Don't get me wrong. I love my Mac. But I can't envision playing any serious games on it. Why? I didn't buy a Mac with any intention of using it for gaming. I bought it for the various creative software, solid operating system and ease-of-use. I've been discovering hobbies and working on various AV projects due to the availability of software, be it first or third party.
And when I did game on my PC, I found it dificult being on a budget when a new title came out and required the purchase of a new video card that I couldn't afford.
I did find a way to make sure every game I buy works right out of the box. I bought consoles.
"FP maybe? What I don't get is WHY apple would do this."
Because people wanted it. Kinda like when there was such a clamor for a Video iPod. Apple said there wasn't anything in development, then not too long later, Bam!
Also, perhaps this is to ensure that people who are interested in dual-booting don't do any irreparable damage to their systems. "If they're gonna do this, let's at least help them on the way..." y'know?
DC and Marvel went toe-to-toe in legal battles over the term "superheros" and other two-word and hyphenated variations. When there really was no such common word each company wanted the rights to the unique term to help identify their properties. I don't see how, simply because the term is far less unique simply due to their own use and promotion of products the term applies to, that their ownership of it is any less valid.
If it's admittedly better than MSIE, why not advertise it? How else is anyone to know of it's existence? It's not like Firefox is bundled with it's own operating system, and a great deal of people just gloss over banner ads.
How dare they advertise a superior product! For shame!
When someone keeps dumping money into a project, the only project that is alleged to produce revenue, and the product is not only not in product but it is now "on hold", why does anyone keep investing money in that same company? And how does any investor honestly expect the debts accrued by investments made for a next-gen console to be recovered by a table tray? At this rate I suppose the only way any investor is going to see a return on their investment is with a winning PowerBall ticket.
...During a time when consoles and games are both rushed out the door before they're ready, Nintendo is taking its time with their products. Sure it may aggravate some people, but only the hardcorest of the hardcore gamers.
The three-second beeps are interesting, but I think people will become accustomed to the sound and begin to tune it out. At least they have to keep their hands on the wheel. Hopefully they'll keep their foot somewhere near the brake.
I read the announcement that was linked, but not the links to commentary. "Commentary" should not be used to imply that there is any sort of factual information to be gained, rather one's opinion. And what I read of the announcement was two paragraphs and from what I see it didn't mention a GBA slot at all, not necessarily meaning it is gone, but not necessarily meaning it's present
If there's anything missing, it's most likely the spot for Gameboy Advanced games. Removing that would free up quite a bit of space. If this is the case, I'm glad I got the "bulky" model.
I would actually prefer this NOT to be on the Internet at all. After all, just because one is a fan of Family Guy does not immediately mean the person has access to the broadband connection to view such content. (And suggesting that I "go broadband" is a weak response, unless you are willing to finance it for the extended future.)
Adult Swim has had a cartoon talk show. This is a cartoon talk show. Therefore, logic dictates it's best on the Internet, in which speed varies. And I for one do not feel like having Late Night with Stewie Griffen buffering for an hour.

Can't you just set your cache folder reeeaaaaallly big and get the same effect?

1) His (windows) desktop uses the default XP background. Odd that the world's richest man doesn't change his background picture.
The Administrator probably never gave him enough privelages for that.

...Hopefully these new computers won't suffer the same mysterious fate of the iBook G3, where every six months the logic board has to be replaced.
I love Apple products, but I wince at the thought of "mainboard" problems, just from experience.
"...movie studios such as Walt Disney Co. have pushed for more rapid DVD releases of movies to combat piracy on the Internet..."
I don't know about combating piracy, but it would help get the DVD quality bootlegs out there a lot quicker.

...Microsoft bought the rights to Gizmondo, didn't they?
Not if the head of Nasa mentions the huge oil deposit on Mars.
what will you think of your Gmail account then? In hindsight? Probably that I should've have agreed to their terms of service.
For those of you playing at home, the "GoDaddy Girl" is Candace Michelle.

I agree. I'm much more worried about the laws whch should be fiction that become non-fiction.
Should I be surprised that it apparently doesn't seem compatible with the Mac OS or Safari? Or Internet Explorer for that platform?
...So it's NUDY tennis!
Only after you apply the patch.

* Ducks may not try to mate with it.
May not. I'm sure there will be a disclaimer for this somewhere in the manual.

They invested $5 million in a "tray table"?
This would've been slightly better news had it landed on Adult Swim.
The cash cow is being milked, and Jasper's milking it.... creepy.
Saying "Gizmondo Future Sealed" implies the device had a future. I doubt many predicted an ounce of success for the handheld.
