When will Microsoft learn? You can't keep anything from leaking if you give copies away for free. If you're giving away free beta's, then somebody is going to leak it sooner or later! It's probably a publicity stunt.
Bill Gates: Oh no. Somebody has gotten hold of our newest software that is better than any of our old software and will be available to you soon so that you can make me even richer. Whatever shall I do?http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/default. aspx
This is just what we Americans need. Not only do we not go outside enough, but now when we do, we'll still be sitting so we can be comfortable watching our "PocketDish." It's not like the iPod, you can't use it at the gym while working out.
Besides, there's already something that can do what the "PocketDish" does. It's hard to find, and I shouldn't really be telling what it is, but...
That has to be the worst thing that could possibly happen. Especially after all of the work they put in to make that movie. Claymation takes forever and a year people, and this was a feature length movie!
I haven't seen this one yet, but I know it will be good. It's kind of like a tame, clay, Monty Python.
So, in other words, if you're susceptible, then there's no possible way for you to get the job of your choice. In fact, you'd probaly end up getting stuck making fries for or asking "paper or plastic" for the rest of your life.
The argument that it saves the company money is useless to these people that it would be discriminating against. It isn't your fault if your genetics make you more prone to sickness. Should your genetics be the deciding factor to whether or not your child eats that week, whether or not you get to live in a nice house or you're stuck in the projects. Just look at the title of the article: the word Discriminate is there for a reason
Come on, you know he was dead serious about it. He was probably cackling with joy when he said it. And you know what he did when he got the bad news that it wouldn't be out in time? He ordered three babies in small, South American villages killed, thats what!
Isn't this just simply Hollywood scrambling to milk a cash cow?
Yes. D'uh.
It's worth noting that every project like this runs the risk of becoming another Super Mario Brothers fiasco.
Don't forget Mortal Kombat. Or Street Fighter. Or Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Or Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. You know, I could keep going, but its depressing.
My buddy Bigfoot is going to love this! Yeah, me, him, and Santa Claus are going to be in line the week before it comes out. I heard a rumor that some ghost got hold of an advance copy, but then I realized that they were just talking about the Phantom.
Bill Gates: hmmmm..., Halo is the main reason the Xbox made it. Should I do another one?
Yes Men: YES!
BG: Ok, hmmmm.... who can I get to do absolutely nothing with the movie except give us his name, show up on the set maybe twice, and give some interviews?? I've got it!!!
Newspaper Headline: OMFG!! Peter Jackson is the Exec. Producer for the Halo movie!!!
Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I personally don't have enough cash to say, use it as toilet paper or smoke it or something. In fact, I'm broke. Kind of limits my choice to the Nintendo Revolution, which you know will be the most affordable one.
If you really think that with more restrictions, the price will drop, then you're crazy. And if you think that you will ever buy a brand new (legal) movie for $5, then you're insane.
I have to take issue with this. Just because you don't read about it, or it isn't done for public consumption, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Most games I've seen worked on begin with a clear idea of what to do differently from before, what went wrong on past projects, etc. (Which isn't to say that mistakes aren't repeated, even by people who know what they're doing.)
Thank you for pointing that out! How do you think that games that don't sell well get sequels!
I went through the exact same thing with the Revolution controller. I'm just worried that they'll drop the ball with it. I mean, look at the DS. Outside of a few games and a few features, its still just a gimmick.
Hypothetically speaking of course, if I download it, listen to it, copy it to my hard drive, and sell copies of it for my friends, then doesn't it work out like free publicity:)

Before you read this, this is NOT flamebait.

its a laptop
Somebody likes their Wallace and Gromit!
For the uninitiated, this is from Wallace and Gromit:The Wrong Trousers

Personal W&G favorite: The Wrong Trousers.

What are they doing with my genetic data anyways? It doesn't affect my job performance in any way does it?
I didn't think so.

Pun editing is wrong. Very wrong. :(
Halo 3 may not be out in time to smackdown the PS3 after all, despite what Bill Gates said to Time Magazine in May
Bill Gates, I've got three words for you: FACE Gates, FACE!

Yes. D'uh.

looks like Microsoft is going with Operation: Shock and Awe on the recording industry. I mean, the big M saying that a price is too high is wild.
Question: does anyone else find it funny that one of the most proprietary companies anywhere is complaining about a price at all?
I didn't really care for the first one, and I hated the sequel. Are you talking about the sequel, or an actual remake
Thats good but this is how it REALLY happened :

Just thinking of the warm hearted Thompson actually making laws kind of makes you feel all warm and cuddly!
ever notice the the only people releasing free music are those that aren't making money anyways
They don't want you to find that hard to find that crazy uzbekistanian porn.

C'mon now, not knowing what Excell is? Thats a bit to much, pun intended.
