The price of a Xbox 360 will not drop until the PS3 is out and reduced to a similar price.
Sony may be Evil(tm) but they are Darth Vader to Microsoft's Emperor.
I'd be happier if the Israelis would stop targeting Lebanese civilians, and actually hit at Hezbollah. I'd be happy if the Israelis actually tried to retrieve their soldiers rather kill innocent people. What would really like me happy is a ceasefire, and for the idiotic USA government to release that Israel have crossed the line into terrorism and stop backing them no matter that they do.
I'd guess he's refering to the issue that you some stupid reason the first batch of blu-ray discs used MPEG2 encoding instead of one of the MPEG4 variants like VC-1 to H264 that the first HD-DVD's, so they looked a little worse.
So you totally ignored that Apple said that they do not store the data, it is used to display the mini store then deleted. That's how these 'suggested listening/reading' things work you know.
Software Update spreads the load over a number of days. I frequently have to wait a couple of days before upgrades, that other people have already installed, appear in the Software Update dialogue.
Nonsense there's loads of formats that MS could use mp3, wav, aiff, APE for example or is DRM the be all and end all of digital music.
AS for DRM, yes iTMS has it, however I don't have 5 computers at home to use up all my authentications and I have no problems transferring them between the computers I have.
I also have a CD Burner, in case I want to lend some tunes to a friend.
Now yes, pre 1996 no, despite H. Pylori's connection to human ulcers being known for around ten years by then (Vet's have known about it since the 1930's). The Drug Company mantra was that 50% of People (U.K. figures) have H. Pylori infections, they don't all get ulcers therefore H. Pylori does not have anything to do with ulcers. The standard treatment back then was expensive drugs designed to reduce the release of acid in the stomach (H2 blockers IIRC).
The twist they didn't mention was that the 50% contained something like 99% of all ulcer sufferers.
They were also working on specific H. pylori anti-biotics. Again Drug company line was you can't just wipe out your stomach flora. This is actually fairly responsible, but doctors are so cautious with anti-biotics there days aren't they prescribing them for anything, even the old doctor stand by of "It's a virus", that the specific ones never got a look in over the cheap generic anti-biotics.
Read the FAQ, they ar keeping control of what goes in the 'official' Xara rather than the GPL version and will make a deal with the author to use the code in a closed source version. If they can't make a deal the code will not go in the closed source version.
'It's not true, it's not true, you need our expensive patented anti-ulcer drugs'...until the patents ran out, then revealed they were working on H Pylori targetting anti-biotics.
Depends on the market, over here it the UK, there are practically no HD TV channel (coming next year on Sky they keep telling us) and very few HD TV's have been sold. Most of the HDTV's are only 1024 x 768, I've never actually seen a 1080p capable TV for sale and there are no plans to broadcast 1080p at all.
That means HD-DVD's potential sales are quite low. A new games console however, well Blu-Ray will be in a couple of million homes by this time next year as long as we don't have to wait for the PS3 as long as we had to wait for the PSP (on sale for 3 whole weeks now).
Elisha Grey.
A few more interesting Bell patent facts.
i) Bell's first patent, the one Bell got in an hour so so before Grey described a device that would not work.
ii) Bell's patent also has rough diagrams in the margins that as rather too similar to the ones in Grey's patent.
iii)The patent clerk involved admitted he let Bell's lawyers look at Grey's patent.
iv) A bloke called Reis had prior art
v) a bloke called Meucci had prior art too some of it from the 1850's
I wonder just how many of the people kicking and screaming have got recent Intel motherboards, most how which have probably got exactly the same DRM chip sitting there awaiting Vista.

If you're offended by that you need to buy better Weed!

And yet ps3 developers claim thay are already exceeding 9Gb.

400 odd Lebanese civilians killed compared to 50 odd Israelis. 400 odd Lebanese civilians killed to rescue two Israeli soldiers.

See Wikipedia about 3/4 of the way down.
They are also ignoring the only reason that HD-DVD players are cheaper than blu-ray is because Toshiba is taking a PS3 style loss on the players.
I love the phrasing to... "in a few clicks" it's very Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Does Brenda Priddy work for Mercedes or Checrolet?
Had she signed a NDA?
Oh look, some one is comparing apples and oranges.

I wonder what MS's DRM terms are.
I'm off to patent the use of random RIAA artist names, and MPAA movie names in email signatures.

after all, the chips are supposed to be developed by now
Yes and IBM were supposed to deliver 3Ghz PPC's to Apple over 18 months ago.
Oh, I'am a troll am I, or does someone work for a pharmaceutical company.
Yep, the movies studio will withdraw all support for HD-DVD if they can't rip off the higher priced regions with inflated prices
It didn't help that big Pharma were shouting..

Ever write code that just stores a pointer in a long and assume void * is the same size?
No, storing a pointer in anything other than a pointer sounds an incredibly stupid thing to do to me.
If the RIAA ever understood the analogue hole everyone would need to have decryption chips implanted in their brains to listen to music.

Read the patent :-)
Basically one of the patents claims is for the tree like structure of the menus.
I know, pathetic.
