The original doom (and I don't know how many of the others) were written on NeXT using objective C. That is still the native language on the iphone and it's possible that this engine is written in objective C and would naturally port to the iphone that way. Or perhaps Carmack saw this as an opportunity to do some objective C work if he hasn't in a long time.
As long as they don't act upon this information I don't see any issue with it. I bet most run-of-the-mill users don't know they have the infection and could act upon it if they knew.
Sounds like a win-win for both Comcast and their customers if it's informational only.
I'm in NH and hoping that FairPoint fails and Verizon comes back to the area. Then perhaps we can get FiOS up here and I can also tell Comcast to go screw off.
In the spring I wanted to get my landline which was an MCI account moved over to FairPoint as my bill had gotten out of control due to all of the line-leasing fees, etc. It took them 3 months. THREE MONTHS to do what amounted to an accounting change. Even then I had periods where they screwed it up so bad that my phone was shut off for 3 days, had no long distance, and had no caller-ID etc. It's like watching a power plant run by a bunch of monkeys.
The PUC people that got bribed into OKing this deal should be sent away.
They have to compete with every free radio station in the country, internet radio and other forms of music/entertainment content.
Comparing this with TV is the short-bus way of looking at it. TV you can only get from Cable (usually only one player in town), Satellite, or OTA (which isn't eveywhere either). I don't know of many places that you can't get at least 10 radio statios + internet.
It's a "new" format and it has to compete with other audio broadcast formats out there. Look at the bigger picture.

Only when I buy a game on steam I won't want to play it through my home theater, or on my iPhone, or in the car.

Agreed. I still put DE1 as one of my favs of all time. I couldn't play DE2 for more than about 2 hours before I gave up on it.
If it hasn't become apparent that DX10 is not a reason folks will "upgrade" to Vista by now I don't know what else to say.
They should allow XP users to download and use DX10 as they have all along for other revisions of DirectX.
