Sounds a lot like the stuff developers have been doing with the Eyetoy since PS2... I wonder if this tech will show up on the 360, and they're just getting the kinks out now with this stuff? I don't know if people would use that practically since they would have to switch from having their hands up in the air to down on the keyboard/mouse for various things... Maybe it can be used for kiosks for people who worry about germs...
Cell phone companies have forever been charging people to send AND receive phone calls, text messages, etc, as well. Isn't this just making everything else in line with that?
But nobody reads them, just like EULAs. Users just have the expectation of privacy, just as they do in real life. Even if a few companies and marketing experts think it's unrealistic or impossible, people just have that expectation anyway. Nobody is automatically suspicious of nefarious activities, people are generally unsuspecting.
Someone had to have judged the pictures of those who were deemed to be attractive, and that person's opinion may not match that of the person who is getting the surgery, and both their opinions may not match that of others who will interact with the person electing to have the modification.
Yeah, archiving audio/video... with digital distribution becoming common, that's definitely a good use. Also if you have a PC hooked up to the TV as an audio/video jukebox, you could archive all your rips, which are time consuming to create. If you download a lot of podcasts or if you've got Steam, if you take a lot of pictures on your digital camera, you've got a lot of data you need to archive, especially with ISPs insisting on bandwidth caps.
Click N Run was one aspect responsible for their fame. They would take the care to improve and provide pre-configured desktop software in an interface that made it easy to install the software. This was before Synaptic Package Manager was able to do the same thing. Also, before they were called "Linspire", they had the controversial name "Lindows", which connoted that they were trying to provide a Linux desktop that would do things most typical Windows users wanted. A lot of users tried to switch to Linux many times but were frustrated by the experience, so this really had the power to draw a lot of people in. I think that Ubuntu and Fedora succeeded where Linspire failed though.
That's good, I really did like the control scheme of Metroid Prime 3, I just didn't like the content as much as the previous two games... the "Expanded universe" characters really seemed cheesy and unnecessary, it took away from the idea that you are a lone explorer on a remote planet where something has gone haywire. Metroid was never really about being a bounty hunter.
Which jobs are the ones where they don't push you to do more with less? Downsizing, mass layoffs, reorganization, poor equipment that is maintained at the bare minimum, penny pinchers and minute monitors, these are not limited only to IT.
Just lower the price of movies that come on BD. It's simply too expensive. Because of this, I buy most movies on DVD and only buy special movies on BD. For example, I just got Transformers. But my last BD purchase before that was about 5 months ago, but I bought a lot of DVDs in the meantime.
Not only can't you bring games over to a friends', you can't lend games, you can't sell them used, and if Nintendo's service changes or is discontinued, there go your unlimited downloads! When the next consoles come out, you'll be stuck keeping your Wii attached to the TV, because they definitely won't allow you to transfer all your VC and WiiWare games to the next system, then you'd be able to have them on two!
A lot of the reason Halo looks so good is its vibrant palette, used to color enemies, vehicles, buildings, and surroundings uniquely. Maybe a bright orange pylon or a huge shimmering blue ship. Colored laser blasts everywhere. It looks very nice and nobody's complaining about that game, which shows that if done well, it can please gamers and stand out as well.
So has this thing been crash tested? Do you have to get the car certified after you build it, so that you can drive it on the road? Are you any more liable if anything happens to a passenger, motorist, or pedestrian, in such a car?
They're just looking for something new to write now that the HD format wars are over..... "Everything you know is wrong! Now let me answer your questions with fantastical predictions based on upcoming technologies that may enter the mass market in 5 years! Plus flying cars!"
The fact that the article points it out as a surprise that IE8 takes more resources than the OS itself is in itself surprising... Shouldn't the OS always take up less resources than the applications running on top of it?
Fighters like Street Fighter IV an Soul Calibur IV are being slowed down so that they can better deal with lag. Fans of Street Fighter and Virtua Fighter are usually counting frames and timing their moves precisely, and at the same time enjoy the frantic pace of the game. Street Fighter II Turbo was especially popular because of its speed. It's unfortunate that these aspects have to be toned down.
With VIA going and nVidia rumored to stop developing chipsets (at least it won't make it any easier for AMD/ATI even if they continue), AMD is missing someone to develop and manufacture good motherboard chipsets.
With the controllers getting more complex,the next natural step is fretted,stringed activation.Might as well just get a real guitar.
Or one with a MIDI controller that is perfect for use with games... what's wrong with educational value in entertainment? If more people find a fun way to learn instruments, that's great.
The difference is:
Controller,you do the instrumental karaoke thing,some people appreciate it,you go home with the admiration of a small clique.Limited to songs you purchase.
It's a pretty small selling game. But you don't play to win admiration, you do it for entertainment value. There are limited songs now but the genre is only catching on to the mainstream. New singles are showing up on Guitar Hero & Rock Band and can be used for successful promotion and sales of music, and there is clearly demand. Sure you can't play everything but the fact that this is possible now is enough of a novelty.
Plastic junk you eventually garage sale.
I am never selling my games...
Guitar,you actually milk out the sounds in your head,most people appreciate it,you go home with that blond in the front row.Not limited to songs included in game modules.Guitar has some resale value to enable better model in the future.
Sounds like your argument is Composer vs Gamer, not Guitar Hero vs Guitar. But even then, one is a career and the other is stuff you do to relax or as a hobby. What exactly are you trying to say here?
bug fixes do not make allot of cash for them, so don't expect to much support
Exactly, which is similar to why they don't focus on IE unless there is competition. Lesson: don't support or use MS software and they will work hard to make it better. Do use it and depend on it and they will let it stagnate. Either way it doesn't help you to focus on MS. So exactly why would I be whining about what MS does in the first place?
Oh shit an ad! I'm peeing my pants right now! Committing to enjoying 30 seconds on TV and committing to adapt to an upheaval of what you depend on daily for crucial tasks are two completely different things, and a quick joke will not ease the tension most people (not to mention businesses) are feeling when they have to consider making the switch.
In other words, the amount of money paid towards works will "liberate" that work for public consumption and the money will go towards the artist to create additional works?

What about the "Dodge Neon," its success was due to the fact that it had a "happy" look.

I guess everyone who bought into Software Assurance is pretty pissed off right now...

If you use none of your mod points, you should be given one mod point that lasts for an additional 5 days.

If people rebelling is so much of a concern that you find yourself trying to regulate it, you just might be a facist!

People still argue about SMS vs NES, MegaDrive/Genesis vs SNES. BTW the Genesis is better.
