I really don't see it that way since Sony's sold more than 1 million PS2 consoles last year. I've read that in the time period since the introduction of the XBox 360, Sony still sold more PS2s.
Can there truly be a flawless operating system? Is it possible to design an easy to use, accessible, and reliable application that has no security holes? I think not, but if you could, you may become richer than Gates himself.
Or you could be poorer than you are now because no one will use your application.
What's the point of XPS now that they've acquired Alienware? Now they can just focus the Dell brand on business and home users with Alienware going towards gamers. I'm sure I'm missing something here...
Guitar hero is about the only game my fiance plays (yes, she plays video games). What's so great about it is that, especially for two player, we're fairly evenly matched from the onset. Hopefully they make a non-failing quick play option.
Although the Dell has slightly lower specs, it also has a much lower price. Even if the coupon doesn't work anymore, these coupons periodically shows up:
Dell, HP, Panasonic, and Sony all make crappy PC's compared to an Apple product. Apple is super stable and hold their resale value in ways that even a gold plated Alineware laptop can only dream of.
Crappy? Hardly. Only Sony sells more expensive hardware than Apple. As for Apple computers being super stable, you're joking right? Here're some recent examples of "stability":
All computers are manufactured in Taiwan and China. Quality will depend on how much money Dell, HP, Sony, Apple, etc are willing to pay their manufacturers
At an earlier hearing his lawyers suggested his actions were not malicious - he had been trying to expose lax computer security and access what he believed was withheld information about UFOs.
The issue is to debunk pseudoscience and other mystic entities. If it actually takes a funded scientific study to finally convince people, then so be it. Remember, we live in a society where "psychics" such as Miss Cleo actually make money for their "services".
Alcatel and Lucent had tried to merge five years ago, but talks collapsed.
This time round they had to overcome concerns about security because Lucent does work for the US government.
To smooth the merger's path, Lucent will set up a separate US company to deal with sensitive government contracts.
Well, I guess we can't trust the French either. I wonder why there isn't a bigger issue made out of this considering the Dubai Ports World deal last month.
I don't think so. At those prices, I wouldn't call the target market "price conscious."
Toshiba said the price in Japan is based on its expectation that video enthusiasts will be first to adopt the technology, while in the United States, the prices are aimed more at average consumers who are more price conscious.
I, as a real price conscious consumer, would never buy something like this for so much. The cons just greatly outweigh the pros at this point.
Just replace "pr0n" with "video games", "beer", "marijuana", etc. and you basically have the same story. It's what keeps politicians employed, and children safe supposedly.
You know, there are scams that do look completely legitimate. In fact, there was recently an article in slashdot about how some scammer was able to obtain a valid ssl. Here it is. Personally, I just don't click on any html links in my mail.
I'm not surprised, although I think they still manage to be more fiscally responsible and sensible than the rest of the US government as a whole. Barring the money sink that is the space shuttle and international space station (why do we still need this? Oh yeah, politics), they've had really successful projects. Just take the recent Mars rovers for a high-profile example.

Also, having worked briefly at Microsoft, the description resonates with the "triage" meetings at Microsoft -- at the time, the hot topic was IBM's MCA bus architecture, and ideas to make sure it would not be important in the emerging PC technology.
Well, Microsoft didn't have to do anything about that since IBM wanted royalties for MCA and back royalties for ISA for anyone implementing the MCA bus.

Ha, no. But they are phat.
Yes, but she's married and also plays video games.

You mean like Doom 3? J/k, I liked Doom 3.
Actually, it goes something like this:
Quagmire: Giggity giggitty, let's have sex!
Random guy: Who else but Quagmire?
Hey, that's dialogue from Deus Ex!
What? Tech geeks have enough verbal ability to get past security??

Well, since all events in time have or will have happened, but not necessarily all at once, it was/is/will be a redundant post.
That's not an open source operating system.
