    DRM will ensure it dosent work on the Ipod.. just like WMA

  3. Re:Brilliant Move on Microsoft Launches First Shared Source Contest · · Score: 1

    I also think it was a smart thing to do.. microsoft needs to be involved with the communitys of people a lot more than they are... but im just stating that it seems as though they cant create an origional idea... or never had tired to do one.. its always the same product/service just a little bit more innovative than the last companys move

    Im all for open source.. that way i can see how it works.. and can make adjustments to make my life of computer interation eaisier

  4. Re:Brilliant Move on Microsoft Launches First Shared Source Contest · · Score: 1

    It may be a brilliant move... but its a move inspired by the competition... which is what has always been microsofts driving force.. for example Apple GUI -> Windows 1.0 Console wars -> Xbox Mac OSX tiger -> Vista Gmail -> Windows live mail see a trend people??

  5. Re:That's unreasonable on What Should One Know to be Truly Computer Literate? · · Score: 1

    Well people at least need to know there isnt a little gnome inside their case called steve who is putting files into folders and bringing them out again. they should at least know the Very basics of hardware. Like files are stored on a hard drive or the processor makes calculations.. so they know where their stuff is in real life :P

  6. Re:Translation: on Gates Claims PC Era Not Over Yet · · Score: 1

  7. Re:All of them are faked nowadays on Sony Fakes Blu-Ray Demo? · · Score: 1

    Ive seen another real demo of microsofts "power"
    This january i went to Microsoft's Epping Headquartes in Australia. When we were there we played the new 360's before they came out, Ate Pizza and watched a movie, as well as talk to microsoft personel.

    But Here are the problems we encountered
    -> They didnt order enough pizza
    -> The Movie they were playing (on a Tablet PC hooked up to a projector) was physically lagging
    -> They said an Xbox 360 could take any USB mass media device... yet it didnt work on someones camera

    I think its inevitable that companies stuff up demos... ive seen many do it :P

  9. Rockstar arent that stupid on Grand Theft Auto IV Unveiled On 360 · · Score: 1

    Its like it always will be, out first to the most popular console.
    There is no chance it will be exclusively for one console. Rockstar are not that stupid.

    Less Consoles = Less money

    And GTA is always horrible on aby console. It really kicks into gear when it hits the almighty PC :)

    *Notices that many countless hours of bitching about piracy was soo wasted*

  18. I totally agree on Why 7.1 Surround Sound is Overkill For Most Homes · · Score: 1

    My friend and i constantly tell other friends that 7 and 6 channel surround sound has no real difference. theyre simply duplications of certian channels, there is no DVD or music i have ever seen with full 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound. On the other hand, 5.2 is very nice :P can never have enough bass!
