The FiOS Custom package replaces FiOS Select, which didn't have ESPN or a lot of Disney channels in the first place. ESPN should be neutral-to-happy that they are now an option at a more affordable price.
Immersion beat Sony in a rumble patent lawsuit. Sony then removed the rumble from the PS3 controller. Ever since, Immersion has been literally trolling the internet and anybody that'd listen to try to petition Sony to now LICENSE their rumble technology. This merely being the latest example. You got your money, Immersion. You could have settled but you didn't. Now please STFU.

The only 'bleeding' would be 'red ocean' gamers tired of the same old crap being shilled to them and they decide to spend their dollars on something new.
Non-gamers that get converted to buying a console eventually become gamers. They graduate to the more complex titles. The problem is, Nintendo has "bled" gamers for 3 generations straight now, because the customers grow out of Nintendo's product/style. It's sad that in 15 years they have not come up with an answer to that problem.
As Kaplan did in the article, to shun off FPS's just shows that Nintendo is a stubborn company that really is fixed in their ways... making "their" types of games and not stepping out of their comfort zone.
... says that the FIRST TWO HOURS of the first day are for media. I mean, even/.'s article is basically a copy/paste but they edit out that obvious and specific detail anyway.

E3 Grows Up - A Little

Those press conferences aren't officially part of E3. They're off-site entirely.
This is actually not the first editorial I've read complaining about E3.
I don't disagree -- There should be a Media day.
But I don't agree with the bitter jabs he takes at legitimate media outlets. That just reeks of unprofessionalism itself. Seriously. They get paid to do their work, and you volunteer time and occasionally get a free game. That doesn't grant you entitlement. That's *barely* legit media. I've never even heard of these folks before, and apparently Alexa doesn't know them too well either.
Another thing, media outlets have the money to acquire the hardware necessary to play alpha and beta products. They are not just FedEx'ed burned discs that can be popped in a GameCube. Once you have the clout (revenue) to obtain the dev hardware, then you can speak. SHOULD the companies be more lenient on this point? Maybe so. But the reality is not how the author skews it.
Ultimately, any media outset worth a damn knows that you should set up a scheduled, private meeting with the companies on the second floor in advance of the show. No business gets done on the show floor. They all know that.
They drool over the storage capacity.
Yet they'll whine when they discover that BR is DRM'ed up the ass and they'll scream for an alternative after the fact.
The public isn't as stupid as you think they are. Most households have at least 1 DVD player. If they're smart enough to know about high definition TVs and DVDs, "HD DVD" is not a tough concept to grasp. They're already familiar with the name.
I think the opposite is true. What the heck does BluRay mean to anybody? It's literally named after its technology, which is more likely to go over peoples heads than HD DVD.

There are tens of millions of PPC users. It would be completely illogical for companies to suddenly dump all PPC code just to market to (virtually) nobody with x86 macs. PPC support is not going to just disappear anytime soon.

Someone call the Waaaambulance. MS violated the GPL. The GPL! How dare they.

Nothing's missing. They just shrunk it down and moved things around.

Apple wants "Mac" in the name. Hence iMac's name didn't change. The PowerMac name likely wont change either. iBook will likely become just "Mac Book".

Any developer worth their muster, yup.

What "extra PC" are you talking about? Who would have broadband without a computer? If you don't like it, get a standard wireless hub.
