And just where is Microsoft today that Apple hasn't been first, in real OS terms? Have you ever used an Apple? Did you try an Apple in the late 80s, and then try Windows 3.1 and go.. ewww..? Probably not..
No, but PCs had been a personal hate of mine for a long time as a kid when I used Macs and Amigas, then when I learned of Linux I realised it was just Microsoft that were making the platform a puddle of piss. I have a Wii and a DS (where again previously I was never a big fan of Nintendo until recently when they started making products that I actually find interesting and cool). While a company should have making money as one of its goals, it will usually perform better in that regards if it actually does its best for the customer, rather than catering to its own agenda. Anyway, that was a particularly poor troll, considering it's obviously just Microsoft I loathe, and the money thing was just directed at Ballmer, not Microsoft in general. There are plenty more reasons than the money thing to hate Microsoft. Karma whore a go go >_>
You're at least the 3rd person I've seen say that. The funny thing is that I never read his username until after it gets pointed out.. he must do it on purpose anyway
Hmm I don't think you have to be an 'avid' gamer to want more than 1.5Ghz. Your point about Windows is entirely valid, but these days I'd still want at least a 2Ghz processor and 2GB of RAM and a decent graphics card just for gaming. I used to run Windows 98 until last year though, and only bought XP when games started requiring it. I hope I'm never going to buy Vista, though I may be forced to if companies don't start making games for linux (or games companies start supporting mouse/keyboard as games controllers on consoles..). Sure perhaps I have too much disposable income now, but I've actually spent way less money on computing equipment than I used to when I was a student (mostly because I have a laptop through work and it works fine for the more and more infrequent occasions that I feel like playing any new games).
But it's boring! Who cares if it's 'heavily adult'? Okay maybe this version is better than the original (which I bought because of all the fuss, then found it to be very BORING! and repetetive..), but due to the tricks they're employing again to make people buy it, I doubt it.
I'll still be getting GTA IV though, no matter what other crap happens between now and then, unless for some reason they make it X-Box 360 only, the day I buy a Microsoft console is the day that Steve Ballmer starts caring about people rather than money..
My idea was that it was plugged into a LAN and stealing your data. Strange that you are only concerned about bombs.. o_0 and yes it would definitely be best to ask if it's meant to be there. What does a bomb maker care what the result looks like if it's gonna be put in there and detonated in a fairly short period of time? The fact that it was there over a whole night with no explosion kind of makes it seem like it wasn't a bomb too:p
This is the British Broadcasting Corporation News, not ABC news or whatever you get over there. No doubt there will be biases in place, but not to the same extent as some other news stations have..
Well the arab numerals for 3 involve 3 symbols anyway.. III. The big deal is that some animals are smarter than some people would expect. Even a human wouldn't be able to recognise a symbol without training, duh.. they're just saying that monkeys can learn numbers the same as us, which is semi interesting.
I really hope that was sarcasm.. there are hardly any versions of Windows compared to hundreds of different Linux distros, each with new versions coming out all the time. Stable in terms of less crashes sure, but stable with releases????!?!?!???...

He means personal flying cars 'for everybody'. In car analogies, your airplanes are public transport
W00tz!

Well, apparently Patrick Stewart's naked butt is on there.. I don't really need to see that :o and if I did I'd just draw a line down his head.
I must be one of the 1%, hadn't thought of that. It sounded more like each person would draw a random shape depending on what the backdrop was.. >_>
Isn't that the van that the a-team made out of carbon nanotubes and some duct tape?
I know, the fact that they usually sell pizzas in kebab shops is what got me I think
Don't forget the Imperial March.

"Excellent. Now they can witness the power of this fully armed and fully operational femptolaser!"

They'll be learning a new one in Nigeria soon anyway.. BSOD!

With Opera being on the Wii I don't think it will actually be that uncommon anymore. Though I did find browsing on the Wii in low-res kind of crappy.
Oh yeah oops, arab is 3, roman is III, got a bit muddled there.
Whoah.. you could totally be a Maddox killar!
Meh, Jetski deathmatch could get boring after a while. I'm waiting for those flying spy drones to have mounted cannons and afterburners.
A 'Vista Ready' sticker?
When he states it clearly it's not really comedy. When he was just implying it, it was comedy.

SBAM Man! Fighting injustice by clogging up enemy inboxes!
I somehow doubt they'd be using lead acid batteries.. heavy and nasty.. lithium polymer would be better.
You're thinking of one of them perpetual motion devices again!
