Err.. where do you get that idea? Sources please..
It is true that in some situations, it can be better to convert critical software elements over to hardware for a better experience. They tried that with Java though, and it didn't seem to work.. wait, are you talking about something else?
Your post is a bit inflammatory, guess that's why it was modded down. I do agree with you in general, The Register seems to be going the same way, unfortunately (I've only been reading these sites for a couple of years too and it's noticeable!). While/. can be a bit hit and miss sometimes, there's plenty of good stuff too:p
But it's NEW man! NEW!!! YOU MUST SUPPORT THE NEW!!!:o EVERYONE GO OUT AND BUY VISTA AND DX10.1 COMPATIBLE GRAPHICS CARDS... NEW!!! Everyone is obsolete!1 The world will soon be out of date._.
Yep, that's never going to be possible without the appropriate VM/emulator/decoder for every system, whether in hardware or software. Java was a cool idea, but I've never liked it in practice.
Yep, it's from the last track on Undertow (according to Wiki, Tool's first full length album), and is apparently track 69 (which I didn't know because I just ripped the CD).
If it's on more than one platform, it's cross-platform. That doesn't mean that it will automatically support every processor/OS combo ever made.. do you mean now all the Linux PPC users is Linux PPC flash? Not trying to troll, just pointing out that if you want stuff available on your own platform, sometimes you're going to have to do it yourself - can't just rely on everyone else to do stuff for you. I don't know if that's possible in this case, but if it really is "open" then it should be.

Actually, I doubt anything would make me buy a Microsoft Console (at least while the games still come out for Windows..). The price of the PS3, and the price and lack of content on blu-ray so far, does stop me from getting one thus far though. I have a Wii, which I similarly never use. That's my first ever nintendo console purchase, but my family have had a PSX and PS2 so far, so I have a decent library of games that I could "borrow" to play on my PS3 (I could of course get a cheap PS2 to play those games, but that just doesn't appeal to the gadget geek in me..)

Yeah, because capitalism is working so well for the populace in third world/developing countries, the 98% that have 2% of the wealth, yada yada...
