I agree. The Wii actually looks fun to play, not just the game old crap with a bunch of extra polygons and texels. And the fact that it is priced affordably means I might actually buy one at launch or close to it.
It will never happen. The only way to beat them is to not play their game. Independent or self-publishing and independent+electronic distribution are the keys.
Why do people feel the need to debunk another person's personal beliefs? Especially when it has absolutely no consequence to anyone but that person? If someone's mom or dad is going to have heart surgery where there is a good change they can die, and it comforts them to pray for a good outcome, who gives a shit? I'm not religious, but at the same time I don't get why science always has to have something to prove. It comforts people to pray for their loved ones, and themselves. Why do you give such a shit whether people pray, or believe in Bigfoot, or give money to Miss Cleo?
Pornography has much broader social and ethical implications than just whether or not men masturbate, and functions as more than just an "alternative to fornication." I'm not saying is isn't these things, but these are just the surface of what it represents and its effects.
I dunno. I'm sure Google has programmers who could write something like this in a week, which would cost them pennies. But then again, with all that capital burning a hole in their pocket, who knows?
Yeah, you'd think someone who is technically saavy enough to hack this would have the skills to take some decent digital photos or video. This smacks of 12-year-old-lamer-with-cellfone-camera-and-Virtual PC fakery...
A big problem the newspapers will face online is that they no longer gain any power from their physical distribution networks. Everything will be defined by the content itself. It used to be if you wanted the paper delivered daily, you had to get A.) the local paper or B.) some big paper like the NY Times or USA Today. Now you can get any paper in the entire world daily and all for the same price (some for free). So which will you choose? You will read the one with the best or most relevant content.
Even more than just eye relief, is soul relief. I don't want to have to sit in front of my stupid computer to do everything in life. Sometimes it's good to unplug and do something else.
Slashdot Mirror
I think they are saying "could've" not "could of". But of course it's a little different if someone actually types "could of"...
I will sit back and have some popcorn
I believe Orville Reddenbacher has patented "a method for sitting back and eating popcorn". Be careful.

Just like Canadian health care is "free".
how'd that work out?
Probably pretty good for those who shorted it at $20.
Too bad I wasn't one of those people...
the forcible insertion of ringing phones into the owner.
Some people might actually pay extra for this service. This could be an entirely new revenue stream for the failing movie theatre industry...

It's pretty obvious what I'm trying to convey there. What's "funnest" for me is the irony you have created...
I know I'd buy it!
I wouldn't...

Maybe I'm just a little dense, but what does this have to do with making things that are producible in orbit?
if the phone is ultra-wide, like the RAZR. What I really want is slim, narrow, and short. AKA "small"
But it does this in a way that Amazon.com never could
It's nice to see someone post a non-subjective insightful message without all the You-Dirty-Pirate or Pirates-Are-Rad editorial. Thank you.
That's because kids today get all that out of the way at around 10 years old.
What if go to someone's web page, hit Ctrl-P and then stick that in a library somewhere?
I don't know about the other components, but the DRAM they are buying from Rambus, and is probably more expensive since it is proprietary.
It's the US patent system we're talking about. It doesn't have to make sense.

that's a perfectly cromulent word

Not to metnion[sic] that Nintendo isn't mentioned in the article
Maybe not in the first 2/3 of the article...
