3 do lock their phones, and they ensure that Nokia's high end 3g offerings use unbreakable DRM, and generally piss about when you ask about unlocking one, even after paying the fee. All this despite the fact that you're locked in a contract anyway. I've decided to never do business with 3 again, and to stay well clear of all Nokia products.
That would work, and games could be ported easily to everything except the Xboxes. Even in 10 years time it'll be simple to port a classic game to a mobile phone to maximize revenue. I'm interested to know why large developers tend to go for DirectX solutions when they have to port it to openGL anyway for the Playstations and the last two Nintendo consoles.
I think it's a simple software thing to add DVD playback, after all, the Wii can already read DVDs, it just needs the player software and decoder etc, just purchase it from the Nintendo WiFi store, like Opera will be in 6 months, and just select DVD playback from the wii channel menu.
They don't lose money per sale, because they've already spent money to manufacture the thing. When you buy a ps3, all that happens it that their losses are decreased. When they manufacture a ps3, it'll cost them $900 (made up figure). They are $900 in the red, until you buy one for $600, which now makes them only $300 in the red. So basically, for every ps3 sold, the less money they lose.
It'll be streamed from a PC/Mac with iTunes (bought from the store, hopefully it'll support ripped DVDs and other videos) over LAN to the box. Plenty of bandwidth there.
I'd explain it in detail, but I might make a minor mistake, so here's the wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_filtering and I think it's just a way to allow textures to be viewed from almost sideways (like walls) without the "shimmering" effect or the blurryness of bilinear filtering.
It's part of the game's data files. I'm sure they're compressed highly, since I've compressed (to MP3) voice only sounds to really low bitrates with little perceptable loss in quality. tbh, it's probably nothing compared to the rest of the gamedata.
iPods can play non DRM'd media. And if you purchase music online the other players can only use wma drm which is somewhat more evil than itunes drm. ipods are also supported in the major linux music players. Oh and ipods are probably the only music players that have an interface that I don't have to fight with, and lets me get on with listening to my music collection. They just happen to be a good product that's heavily advertised.
Untick "Hide file types opened with Opera", then scroll down to.torrent, (or application/x-bittorrent I think), click edit and select "Open with default application".
That makes sense to me. Everyday to and from college I walk through a park that should send me into a sneezing frenzy, but I don't even get itchy eyes or a runny nose until I get home.
Though my bedroom isn't exactly the cleanest of places:/
You should really go to 4chan for that sort of stuff, granted theres a bit more noise, but that's where gems like this originate from. SEE ALSO e3 the chatlog from a couple of weeks back.

No, you've got it wrong. Dead artists don't make any new works.

What? You get charged for recieving text messages!? No wonder it never took off across the pond...

*Phew* Thats exactly what I thought. My faith in humanity was about to be restored until I realised that most people thought it was real.

Even though it doesn't exist yet, everyone already knows SP2 has blatant incompatability problems.
I'm holding out 'till all my apps are updated to work for it.
I guess you meant willingly accepting DRM and other restrictions, which I completely agree with.

I think that it meant to say "windows media-based". At least that's how I read it late last night.
It's more likely than you think.
iSight is the camera, iChat is the name of the application, which is macosx only.
Anybody got a streaming youtube/google video link?

They were probably calling it soccer for your benefit.
It's back up, with a new logo, and check the title bar :)

Seconded, at least as an option.
