...and says that despite not being able to play commercial content, the drive is still useful as a "storage device",....
The Sony BWU100A has a write speed of 2x and will be available this month for AU$1399.
I'm a little short on storage space in my house. I think I'll go buy a new Range Rover, put it on blocks on my driveway and fill it with junk from the attic.
as long as I'm able, I'll stick with California, thanks
Please do. Encourage all of your friends in CA to do the same. And any friends you may have in Texas. Everyone in the flat(???), square state will appreciate it.
...Consumers on the other hand have little impact on what games are being developed...
I don't think that's true at all. Demand for a certain type of game will definitely spark development of similar games(think GTA series and the amount of crappy knockoffs it spawned). I do agree that developers need to be more creative(or convince the suits in charge that remaking an old game with better graphics is just lame)
"We'll take the same game we made last year, add a number to the end, add a couple trivial features and slightly update the graphics. There's no way it won't be a hit!"
Uh, Republicans are the ones who say they want parents to raise their own kids. They also say Dems are the ones that want all children to be raised by the federal government...and this law is just another way they're making that happen.
Fixed that for ya. Guess how many 'republicans' actually voted against this government nannying. I'll give you a hint. It starts with Z and ends with ero.
When your oh so 'superior' OS gets more than a 5% marketshare, maybe someone will actually care about getting your business. Until then, wipe the tears off your pretentious, art-school dropout glasses and crawl back in your corner.

but if you put that turd in a shiny, white plastic box and spend millions to tell everyone how great it is, people will buy it. Worked for Jobs.

Dear Macintards,

Love,
The rest of the world
