Haven't we seen Apple patent submissions for trackpads of a similar nature? Again, it all just doesn't fit my view of "revolutionary" (not that I don't think it has the potential to be cool, I guess we'll see).
Perhaps I missed it, but is there a new type of keyboard or trackpad or input device for this project? If I still point with a mouse and type with a keyboard, it's not revolutionary. They may have organized a few things better, but let's look for something more intuitive to call "revolutionary".
My two cents that no one will read because of my damned karma.
This won't make Mr. Kim's life more miserable, only those that can't afford to find their products through the black market. But I'm sure the middle class will be horribly inconvenienced. Ah, politics.
I find it amazing how close-minded some of you self-ascribed technologists are being. Yes, I understand you want all the power under the sun and that you want to control everything, but let's be honest...you don't, can't, and in many cases shouldn't.
I'm a huge geek, but personally I don't care where I run MS Office from. I'd rather run it from the MS Servers, so it's always up to date and I don't have to download the patches. Rather than pay the $350-$500 for new version every 3 years I'd rather pay $60-100 bucks a year for progressively updated software. Yeah, I know, you don't pay for your software. I care, really. I also want to store all my files on a secure server somewhere else that I pay for who actually backs up their data. Just because I'm a geek and know I should be backing up my data doesn't mean I actually do.
I want to access all my software and files from any Internet-enabled device I own, anywhere I am. Maybe I could do that now if I were really interested in setting that up, but guess what, I'm not. I have better things to spend my money and time on. Subscription services could EASILY solve this for everyone.
Bandwidth? If you want to grandstand something, grandstand about that, not subscription services. We're getting to the point where Internet access really should be as reliable and accessible as a utility like electricity. The fact that it's not that robust in the US is because of 1)telecoms and 2) neglegent legislation.
Some applications will probably (but who knows, really) move off the desktop. Yeah, got it. Not everyone uses those apps. I do graphics, but I think eventually even some of that will move.
So you propose adding a Breathalyzer to the ignition? please...let your children live their lives. Education stops people from making mistakes (or, at least, repeating them), not tracking devices.
Yep, it was a ridiculous JOKE. Balls, get a sense of humor. Of course the PS3 will be released. Sony is one of the biggest electronics companies in the world, I think they might have the capital to make it happen. Sorry everyone was soooooo offended.
If a butterfly can cause a rainstorm across the globe, does that mean that Japan will be tracking all creatures big and small for their impact on their 30-year weather forecast? Personally, I don't think anyone wants to know the impact my flatulence has on global warming!
I think most of the guys in here discover that pleasure every night! Of course, I guess if you did have amnesia, you might think it's a different hand and that would be more exciting.
What's better than having sex with a 10? Having sex with a 7 you've never had sex with before!
Please come back and post when you've listened to several albums by The Roots, Beastie Boys, Digital Underground, and A Tribe Called Quest.
BTW, rap is defined by M-W as:
1 a : the science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity b : vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony
Thanks for your uneducated and close-minded opinion, though.
The article says that if the victim is conscious of the violence it would nudge it into the extremely violent category. What if the victim is of the undead and you blow its limbs off one at a time?
Sounds like working IT in the Air Force. Or a University. Good luck, it's bureaucracy. And because they're all the same, but in different ways, the only advice I can give you is keep on truckin'.
The only thing I would use a Windows machine (at home) for is to play games...oh, wait, I don't even use one to do that! Maybe that's because I can buy an XBOX or PS and hook it up to a giant HDTV, play hundreds of games, and not have to worry about whether it will work or not (just like the apps I use on my Mac). Tinker all you guys want, I'm happy running OS X and playing games on a console.

I think he was refering to the coup
Only if they call Moonbase Alpha or as a backup Moon Unit Zappa.

Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7... Minute... Mail.
before anybody mentions "reliable" electricity...yeah, I know, grrrrr.

Open your minds.

When will Slashdot start tagging PS3 articles as "Vaporware"? I'm sorry, did I just Troll?
I call shennanegans!

It's Eminem, but I'm sure he'd appreciate your support.

Google always gets products out in early forms and then updates them. That's their mantra. It will come together more...

But, I don't even care about half the articles normally on the main page!
But can't you just see all the older folks riding the elevator to relieve their arthritis?
Personally, I like articles that know the difference between "to" and "too"! Grammar is important!

"2400 baud ought to be enough for anybody." Wait, is that what he said? I get confused. This is dumb. Peace out.
