While a yet more souped up PC is sure to get them some more revenue from gamers, the hardcore gamers will still end up going to Alienware (which is now Dell owned anyways), won't they?
I think the reallu hardcore gamers tend to build their own PCs.
I could see this being useful if you, say, have no more room in your PC's case to add more drives, but still want good performance. I've managed to max out all the bays in older PCs before, and this seems like a fantastic solution for adding additional space.
I must concur, Escape Velocity was the game on the Mac. I remember the day they installed a networked lab of Macs at our school, and within hours, my friends and I managed to get Escape Velocity on all of them.
The best part of that game, without a doubt, was the plug-in system. It was SO easy to make a plug-in, I managed to put the DeLorean from Back to the Future in the game, and it was fantastic.
Nothing like taking over Earth with a whole fleet of Time-Travelling DeLoreans.
USB Flash Drives don't mount like say, a CD would, meaning you can't autorun anything. I believe that's what this U3 Technology does, it more or less adds autorun capabilities to the drive.
I learned this tidbit about Flash Drives when my roommate and I tried to build a USB Game Controller, with a drive with some games on it. The idea was: plug it in and go. Unfortunately, we had the wrong kind of USB drive.
I'm not sure if this is the same or not, but in The Magic Kingdom, there was a similar thing starring Robin Williams, I think it was called The Timekeeper, same general idea as to what you're talking about, though.
I go to school at a University that blocks any form of P2P traffic using a system called ICARUS. Using this VPN, would I be able to bypass ICARUS and go back to downloading my Linux torrents?

Look, all I'm sayin' is, my roomie has Netflix, we both have burners, and our movie libraries have increased massively.
Go Netflix!
No, no, see, the idea is: you could play games while recording your band.

So is staying the fuck out of Africa.
Well, the other one is a Celeron! I wouldn't expect that to even run Windows 3.1 very well.

Dude, Wal-Mart has bins of movies for $5.50. Can't beat that!
