"What a ridiculous job, why reduce women to only be valued by their looks and to assist males"
Are they only hiring female cheerleaders, and only to help straight male programmers, and by "cheering" they mean flaunting their body? I guess China doesn't have any laws that deal with sexuality or discrimination in the workplace...
Sure, but integrating it into their ecosystem could make everything else they do more profitable by making it a gateway, and just making it easily interoperable with their other devices and services would give people a reason to become loyal to the brand. Xiaomi is doing well wherever they have a presence.
"Machinima Inc" is the one they're talking about, not Machinima in general, which is the creation of cinema using virtual machines, mostly games that let you control or script characters. Everywhere I see this story, the editorial never mentions that it is a particular company called "Machinima Inc". Please don't forget the "Inc" part of the name as this distinguishes it from the concept of Machinima itself.
I've purchased several of their entertainment and networking products before, they are of extremely high quality and aesthetically pleasing as well, at ridiculously low prices. If they step up their marketing presence in the west they could easily dominate. I'm sure that would be met by legal opposition from Apple, Samsung, etc. though, who knows how they would fare against that.
The LEDs that are projected by an oscillating mirror are unfortunately connected by a strip that is prone to getting unseated, and now many units have glitchy displays.
Luckily with a 3D TV and an emulator that supports stereoscopic display you can still experience it today. Not the most amazing library, but Red Alarm was one of my favorites. A bit like StarFox except you could control your speed and turn around, most levels took place in a corridor but some levels had branching paths. Wario Land was great too. They should bring these titles to 3DS but licensing issues probably prevent this.
Increased prison time won't do a thing, since when have any commercial executives gone to prison? This type of law is only meant to intimidate individuals.
Originally they would specify three different configurations of hardware, giving software devs a target to test for. Now the specs are up to third parties, negating the advantage of being sure a Steam game would work upon release.
They could have consoleized PCs, giving people a plug and play experience with games that were tuned with default settings giving a guaranteed level of performance for the three teirs of boxes people could choose. Not only that, it could give developers a specific testing environment for their native Linux/SteamOS versions, and could have simplified things by providing a similar base of hardware for devs which could then more easily resolve issues.
I *never* want the App. Native client = buggy memory hog that can introduce vulnerabilities and violate my privacy in even bigger ways.
Besides that, I don't want a separate app for each site or forum I visit, that's overkill. I'll get too many notifications and have to download a ton of client updates constantly. I'd rather just visit a site when I choose to (and not be bugged by notifications) and have it work properly and be working with the most up to date version right away.,
These useless apps are what people wish weren't included with their desktops, why would they want them on mobile?
Add that to the growing list of things surrounding marketing that are immoral.
As immoral as it may be though, it's also very obtuse, self-serving, and irresponsible.
We pretty much already have special purpose robots, it's just nobody refers to them as such. Is "robot" going to become the new buzzword used to sell us on these devices? I already have a "robot" that opens my garage door when I'm near, a "robot" that chews up the food in my sink, I use a "robot" to deposit/withdraw money at the bank, my neighbor has a "robot" that brings him up in his wheelchair to his landing...
Konami's saying that they still intend to develop future titles, but a press release states that they are auditioning for project leaders, casting doubt on Kojima's future involvement and lending creedence to the allegations from GameSpot's unnamed source.
Slashdot Mirror
I think this will just make thinking twice about pulling out your gun happen less often.
I guess I did miss this one, thanks to this poster for pointing it out
Now *this* is news, maybe I'm skipping over stories but I don't think this was posted oin Slashdot's front page? This is important.

Since when are they explicitly forced to serve you exactly the way you want?

"Kojima finally found a technical platform broad enough to make use of all of those tools"
Except that the PS3 and 360 are 10 years old at this point?
Time for the new wave of Stacker clones, maybe a new DoubleSpace err DriveSpace?
So basically no downside to disabling these options then!

How does he plan on solving the problems of this earth?

Their OS allows the storage and playback of these illegal files, not to mention it allows piracy apps like uTorrent to run!
That's cool! Thanks for the informative answer :)

How do they solve the issue of capturing the camera's stand/arm? Reflective surfaces will be annoying as well.

I'm glad I didn't give themmy phone number for buying a pack of batteries... What an unfortunate fall from grace...

Wouldn't it be covered in the law for anyone to read if this were the case? Or are there some secret laws, or non-obvious interpretations of the law?
Anyway, it's pretty ballsy of them to say they're legally entitled to do so in all foreign nations!
I hope they don't get a price break for locking it.
