I mean, I want my service to work, because it's not overloaded all the time, and this fixes that problem...
To be fair, we don't actually know this. There is no data, they just say "top 5%". They don't say "... that download this many bits" or "... in this particular city where it's incredibly bad.." or anything like that. They don't even actually say "We'll recoup enough resources to make YOUR connection faster".
I'm not saying this to be nitpicky, rather I'm pointing this out because AT&T is currently trying to make their case that they should be able to purchase T-Mobile. Generally speaking, though, the LAST thing I'd believe is their PR spin.
What I don't get is why they think they'll make more money this way. In the olden days, they'd sell games and never hear from the customer again. These days, they need servers and people on phones to authorize people to use the copy they paid for. Since they have to pay for these services, now every satisfied customer is drilling away at that profit the earned yonks ago.
I honestly can't believe with all the money grubbing these companies do this is the approach they took.
Actually the 3ds is quite a bit more powerful than the DS and it has more in terms of control techiques. It's a worthy upgrade, 3d or not, but it's missing GAMES.

The next day...
Slashdot: More Malicious Android Apps Pulled from MarketPlace Android Fanboy: At least list which ones!! Oh, and.. uh.. we should do damage control. At least we're free to bypass the store to download these apps!
Slashdot has spent so much time posturing for ad-clicks that lots of people here cannot fathom the possibility that there's a such thing as a satisfied iPhone customer.
I don't have anything to bring to this discussion that hasn't already been said, but I do want to say that I wish you well and I think it's admirable what you're doing.
Thanks to the race for the almight 'insightful' mod, we get precious little owning up to a mistake. With that understood, you'll pardon me for saying: Shut up.

Errr I thought we were talking about iOS 5....?
Ok... so you're picturing an iPad doing everything the Wii U can do?

Does AirPlay work with games? Latency is a huge problem...
Have a day of YouTube, on us! Make sure to send funny links you find out to everybody!
Sincerly,
Management.
I dig it, too. I also like the Virtual Console on it. I think I'm probably in the minority here, but the 10 nes and gba games kick ASS.
Oh? What does iOS 5 bring to gaming?

Relax, people will only pay so much for service from them. Supply and Demand is still in effect.
It's just a display of confidence. It's not like they plunked their cash down.

Fanboys are stupid, faces on stun.

It gave me an even better reply than I could have hoped for! Thanks!!

They've already green-lit a sequel.
True, but even then we don't know how many people found out on their own before the companies got wise and corrected it automatically.
The damage estimates people here have made are comically exaggerated.
That's interesting because one of your posts already alluded to its existence.

Ok... so what does that make the folks that are letting Google off the hook so easily?
Your credit will be fucked up by a fraudulent fifty dollar charge?
I'll admit to not reading the f'n A, but I don't think they let you keep the money.
The banks will pass the loss on to the clients in the form of higher rates.
Nope. Banks respond to supply and demand, too.
That's up to 675,000 people he's hurt...
He stole from credit card companies, not individuals. You're not liable for credit card fraud.
Groupthink is a concept that people use to put down contrary opinions.
It's a description of the herd mentality that exists on Slashdot.
Its existence as a real phenomenon is highly dubious.
It's quite alive and real. It isn't challenged until the sheeple's opinion is clearly proven wrong.
