I'm hardly a Wal-Mart supporter. I don't enjoy shopping there.
I read this article some time ago that gives some interesting insights into the "evil" that Wal-Mart causes.
Assuming that its true that Wal-Mart actually makes a positive economic impact in communities (and to poor families), then what the hell are we complaining about?
I can only guess what he's trying to say is that the sales of new PCs preloaded with Linspire is a clear bite into Microsoft's main source of operating system pie. Maybe to him the sales of the software alone doesn't represent many new conversions to Linux. The average user would not switch operating systems on their current computer.

What I meant was that the outcome of the 360 launch was bad for gamers, retailers and Microsoft. In retrospect, Microsoft would have been far better off either allocating all of their initial console production to North America or postpwning the launch altogether. All that became of the Winter 2005 launch was severe shortages, a significant negative financial impact to the market as a whole and apparently very unimpressed Japanese gamers.
A worldwide launch is fine...as long as it's done properly.
If they were capable of doing so they would. It is advantageous for Nintendo to get into various markets as soon as reasonably posible. To me this just says that they are trying to avoid another Xbox 360 launch scenario.
There is no way that the average consumer is going to understand different output resolutions, physical formats and what HDMI or component is. I'm sure a lot of people think that their HDTVs magically transform 480i (or "regular") sources into high-def.
The one question that I want answered is whether or not the market is actually asking for improved video formats. When was the last time you heard somebody complaining about the technical shortcomings of DVD? DVD has saturated the marketplace and keeps things straightforward and simple for the average consumer. The new formats are being pushed rather than pulled into the market. Competing formats did not work historically and it won't work tomorrow.
In other words, our environment impacts our potential (as has been previously alluded to). I've experienced a shared cubicle and it definitely wouldn't be my preference. All of us appreciate some personal space and privacy, right?
And is it just me, or does trading compensation for a superior work environment seem wrong? Ultimately the employer will be better off assuming that production improves.
Apple badly needs to stay on the cutting edge of the hardware game, and in my opinion they sure as heck weren't getting that from Freescale or IBM. Sticking with the big dogs (Intel or AMD) should keep them competitive in terms of performance without trying too hard.
Because we all know the ESRB knew about the hidden code in GTA:SA that would later be exploited by h4x0rz. Blame the people responsible for the software itself.
I'm curious to know if the people who write these damning articles actually play games. I believe that a ratings system of some sort is important and in my experience ESRB ratings are on target.

...but where will I get the latest Jen and Vince info if not from our inspiring media?

But does it run Linux?
