...Majora's Mask? An amazing game, and a genius way of telling a story. It's like Groundhog Day, except you're Bill Murray....with a sword. And transformation. Okay, nevermind.
Who here was actually surprised that technology such as MiniDisc flopped? Or how about their MP3 players that *only* played ATRAC? Apple understands something that Sony does not: There is a difference between a proprietary format and absolute lock-in. Apple opened up the iPod market to all sorts of third party manufacturers. They let people use MP3s as well as AAC. Et cetera.
Also, it'd just be interesting to point out that Sony and Apple are partners in the next discwar. Both are on the Blu-Ray side.
Does anybody know if PalmOne has made any announcements about what OS they'll be using in the future? I know that Access licenses out its' software to other companies (i.e. PSP web browser)...
My father used to have an older version of ViaVoice. My god, that thing was awful. Just for fun, I said "Beat up Martin" to it and it typed back "Be a martian." Well, better than "Eat up Martha."
Something that I have to point out about this article - It specifically states that Sony has sold 13m PSPs in the US. Sony hasn't released any info as pertains to PSP sales within the last three months. They've only said that they've shipped 10m PSPs to retailers sometime in December. Either thye have insider info, or the analysts are pulling this out of their ass. I'll assume it's the latter.
Is it just me, or is it sorta strange that the DS has sold more units in Japan than in the States? Japan's population is around 125 million, while the US is set to hit 300 million people in 2006. Those numbers really say something about Nintendo's image in the States...
Why is Google doing this? AOL, to be frank, sucks. Nobody switches to AOL, jsut away from it. Yes, they still have a monopoly on IM in the US, but that's about it.
Just for clarification, is this the actual graphics drivers, or the UI? Yes, I know the UI is mostly contained within explorer.exe, but you can still execute the task manager with full control, meaning that some remnant of the UI is still running...
I've seen the reply to this saying that this is an extension of the RDP protocol, but I just noticed something: Think X360 would be able to run normal, x86 Win32 executables? Apparently it's based off a stripped-down Windows kernel... And seeing as it can emulate older Xbox x86 games, think it could do the same for, say, terminal applications that don't really rely on the Win32 API?
Personally? Woopdee-frikin-doo. A map program (I'm guessing), just what I've always wanted. Autodesk has some extremely popular, yet extremely expensive programs under its' hood. Why not give us the source code for, say, AutoCAD? Maya? 3DSMax? Until they open-source-ify something useful, just file this under public relations BS.
Wait a second, Sony supports Linux?
A) I'm never using Linux again!
B) OMFG EVARQWEST 2 4 LINX???lolol kekekekeke
C) Now we'll ahve to worry about rootkits in our kernels!
It's not the US that's becoming anti-science. It's those that are currently in power that are becoming anti-science. And it's not exactly "becoming," either - Republicans, conservatives, whatever you'd like to call them, have always been anti-science. It's just that now is the time they've chosen to impose their ideals upon the population.
When MP3 players first came out - Specifically the iPod - purchases of actual CDs plummetted. Most of the music buying market does it online now. Will it be the same for movies? I for one hope to see this as the end of the HD-DVD/BluRay feuds... Well, one can hope:)
Oh, and Sony's PSP is more or less screwed. For $300 you can get a PSP with a 512MB memory stick and then buy movies for $10... or you could get an iPod with 60 times that much space for the same price and buy movies for $2.
I mean, 50 or 75 I could understand, but 60? Bah! Multiples of 10.
No, but really, IBM Research basically made the computer what it is today. So happy birthday to one of the most innovative groups on the face of the earth. They basically made the computer what it is today, you know.... Just about everything that's more complicated than a microwave has some RISC derivative in it.
Good points. I'm simply saying that a system that could try and protect somebody would be an easily implemented improvement. Also, contrary to the knowledge given to us by Battlefield 1942, snipers tend to only take one victim at a time if at all possible. Read up on a guy named Juba.
It's a really nice idea, but there's two problems with it. First, I doubt that people - or the government - in developing countries would be able to pay for one of these for each child. Second, I don't understand the inclusion of Flash memory - Wouldn't a small 1GB HDD be less costly?
Otherwise, I really like it. It's a more-or-less perfect use of free software.

Jesus christ. MS is 33, Linux is 17.
33 + 17 = 1337!

I like how this blog doesn't have a source for its information or anything...
So, it's, uh, a picture viewer with thumbnails? Wow! Talk about innovation!

Ah, well, whatever. I'm very happy with my DS.

Hello, Gmax!
Oh, wait a second, Gmax is entirely dumbed down. Oh well. Yay capitalism!

"Hey, that guy's dead... but we know where the guy who killed him is!"
The UI looks very nice, and the hardware's gotten good reviews. (I can only hope they'll let us change the color of that theme...
I really want to sign up for that website really badly to see a video game for which I am unable to find screenshots or any information whatsoever.
