PlaysforSure was licensable DRM. Live Anywhere is an extension of Xbox Live onto PCs. I fail to see any similarities other than they were both made by Microsoft. Care to explain your comment?
31 vulnerabilities are 31 less vulnerabilities OSX has vs XP.
What? This has nothing to do with windows. All this tells us is that OSX has 31 fewer vulnerabilities than it did yesterday.

So what? The opinion of scientists doesn't mean shit. Let's see some peer reviewed work that agrees with their conclusion, and then it'll mean something.
Does anyone know if I can just connect a Zune to a Windoze PC and drop files in a folder. I really don't want to load a bloated app that connects to some online-service I will never use to buy DRM music. Cheap but good Microsoft subsidized hw is fine by me.
Yes, you can, on a windows machine, but not anything else. It has little wierd issues with album art sometimes, but it works pretty well. However, WMP11 is pretty good, and at least worth a look.
Actually, when it was released, IE for Mac had a lot of developments that made it superior to the Windows version. It was when they stopped working on it that it went downhill.
I just don't understand this "more users at any cost" approach.
The reason for this is that Linux users, unlike Mac users, build thier own computers, and thus need better support from hardware providers. If linux was a decent chunk (say 10%), then hardware manufacturers would be enticed to make drivers.
I wouldn't call it a tax. While there are only slight differences in some OS upgrades, XP was a big step, and in my experience, worth the upgrade. 2k was a similar step. You'll see impressive improvements (esp. stability) by upgrading to either.
come on, not even the most slackjawed drooling Xbox360 fanboi thinks that the PS3 is "just another playstation". It has impressive hardware in there -- that's one of the major points of attack for its critics. Why claim otherwise?
Power doesn't have anything to do with it. It's just an evolution of the same console they've been selling for more than 10 years. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But you can't argue it's not true.
Microsoft, on the other hand, is at least trying something somewhat different, in the total integration of Xbox Live. Not that it's that big, but it is a difference from thier previous efforts.
Are you honestly complaining that it won't play on a 7-year old OS? Or that it doesn't support a miniscule minority of computers? It'll work for 90% of the computers out there. It's your own fault. Not thiers.
now wait just a damn minute - there is NOTHING stopping Amazon from writing software for Mac OS X. nothing. Apple allows anyone to write software for Mac OS X.
That may be true, but Apple won't licence the DRM that the iPod will support, which is most likely what they mean. And since they have to release it with DRM, they're forced to use Microsofts, which all in all isn't too bad. It's supported by an overwhelming majority of computers, and pretty much every non-ipod mp3 player.
That, or Real. I think they made the right choice.
So for optimal performance, I need two video cards, a physics card, an AI card, a sound card, and a network card. And even then, that's leaving out stuff like a RAID or SCSI controller. Sounds great, but where's a motherboard that can support more than one PCI card with both PCI-E slots filled? Hell, a lot of motherboards can't even handle one.
I think the main issue here is that despite all of Sony's posturing about 1080p being the future of gaming, they aren't letting people into that "future" without first, $100 more, and second, the cost of an HDMI cable, which is going to mean at least another $100 for most people, despite what you can find online.
And this is especially true because although the component spec is capable of 1080p, the playstation won't do it.
Yes, because, supposedly, a lightsaber cuts through everything, save another lightsaber. So you can swing to your heart's content, and not worry about coming in contact with something to throw you out of the immersion. A real sword is an entirely different matter.
You're right. Xbox Live is far, far worse than the PS2 and Gamecube online capabilities. I don't even see why Microsoft can even call it an online service.

Of course, I'm a student tech employee, but that's beside the point.
To be fair, HP was the first major PC vendor to support Expresscard.
Technically, Romulans are Vulcan.
My HP laptop, originally released more than a year before the MBP, has Expresscard 54. So did other models.
I mean, 98 or ME to 2k is a similarly significant step. 2k to XP, not so much.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I've seen and used many DVDs that are Widescreen on one side and Fullscreen on the other.
No, but thier Japanese and US regions are the same. Rules for US, sucks for Europe.

Well, HD-DVD is also more pc-friendly, which supports thier goal of PCs everywhere in a home media solution.

That's at school. Otherwise, children have most rights, including that of privacy.

As a person who just graduated from High School, I can say, without absolutely without regrets, 19. God, I hate those things.
