the PS2 which keeps the PS3's target audience fully occupied
Kinda like Vista. Right now, current users don't see a real good reason to upgrade the cost is too high for what they get compared to a perfectly good system that works right now. They are their own major competitor and that's not going to change. At least the PS3 and force the hand of a killer app like XBox360 and Halo 3. Vista... Not so much... Microsoft can lock you in, but, an office suit doesn't change that much and there are other alternatives for software.
Hermes: Those boots cost me 99 dollars and 98 cents. You invest it how you want...
Hermes Son: I'm going to buy two shares of SCO!
Hermes: Oh! A risk taker!
In the end you can claim a lot of things, you can even get people to back you up on your claim. That doesn't make it true. The only people who really know the truth are the people directly involved, all others are just securing their own place in history as a bookmark for an event.
We're debating patents how many decades old when there are patents now that are obvious rip offs and trolling? Yes, this is an interesting historical debate about how broken the patent system IS and has been but don't we have more pressing current matters with the patent office?
Since in almost every article, especially science and technology articles that require a broad understanding and depth to write coherently about..
Oh my god! Imagine if there was a website of news articles about science and technology that any random Joe who thought he knew better could put his comment about the story?! ANARCHY I TELLS YOU! It wouldn't last and the comments those misinformed couch physicists make would be all a bunch of self imposed lies or just random gibberish!
I wish that was more sarcastic that it really was...
5) ArenaNet slowly turning Guild Wars into a grindfest. The one MMORPG that let me play PVE at my leisure and not "fall behind" decided that it's a much better idea to just go into WoW me-too mode rather than stick with the original tenet of skill over time played. The Eye of the North expansion released this year completed the transformation.
THANK YOU! Finally, someone else that saw that they turned down that path and because of it lost quite a few players. I gave up on it when I came to the realization that the people who just ran from mission to mission where doing much better than the casual players. It's now a subscription free version of WoW. I've gone back of PnP games. Yeah, it's a hassle to get everyone into someones basement for a few hours each week, but it's all in all a far better experience.
Personally I went from 215 down to under 160 in about 6 months. I'm not sure if it was DDR or that I changed my diet and started going to the gym after I started losing the weight. I like to think the DDR got me over that first step that so many people have trouble with and then it was all coasting from there. I've heard DDR Diet success stories, but, playing at home isn't the same as at the arcade (especially when you live on the third floor) and the math for cost per game VS. Gym membership over a year... the membership becomes cheaper.
30 mins of Max300/Legend of Max or all the Paranoia Mixes... Yeah that should get you pretty close if not past 30 mins of cardio... It would be awesome if my gym got a "free play" ddr machine for members...
I know I can't bowl a perfect game in real life, but come damn close in Wii Sports. Nothing is the same as getting up and getting moving but even the article points out:
The study did concede that while the actual calorie-burning benefits of the Wii were trivial, the activity that the Wii inspires could aid in weight management...
Sadly that's what these kids need; Motivation! If playing Wii Sports gets them interested in playing real tennis then yeah, it's a good thing. Not a replacement, I won't stop going to the gym because I got a Wii or play DDR but it's a step in the right direction to get people moving again.
Yes there are more solid rumors and some screen shots... But how many screen shots of DNF have we seen. I'll believe Google is in the mobile market when I have an android in my hands for the first time.
It may not be vapor but I think the February release may be rumor and marketing, maybe it's for Android(Beta)
If someone is panted in a poor light in an article they get a chance to rebut. It's a neat feature but do you really think 9/10th of people in the news will take time to respond to Google's news page and jump through the needed hoops to prove they're who they claim to be?
All computers used in the military facilities in the Transformers movie by the teams trying to break the Decepticon's code where Apples. It should also be pointed out that the computer that defeated the martins in Independence Day where macs.
Just go drive in Silicon Valley on the freeway, then come to Columbus Ohio and see how infuriating the difference is.
I think the major difference is the I-70 loop and all of the related inter-belts. If there's a jam up on one in Columbus, you can just hop onto another one easily and not really add much to your total trip. It's more infrastructure planning than lack of asshats in the City. It's where we've placed our elected officials so there is a glut of them.
A who's who of multibillion dollar companies. What happened to the government and the parts there of working in the peoples interest? Unless you have a few billion to spend don't even think about it. The peoples airwaves are sold to the highest bidder, literally, and all I can think of the FCC doing is censoring and working in corporate interests (like consolidation of radio companies and maybe the same with TV/Newspapers).
If you take the time to get good at something, why not enjoy the benefits? It's not hurting anyone, it might drive interest in the game
Like the people who "freestyle" DDR. It draws people over to watch the monkey dance then some stick around to try the game and/or talk to the player (who may or may not be a jerk about it).

I know it's denoting de-listing but I was hoping for FSCK

It's a space station!
What happens if they arrest someone? "Okay buddy! In the basket!"?

Am I the only one thinking the better title for the related article should have been "GameCock lives up to name at VGA's"

The good guys all used macs. The bad guys, something else.
That's far deeper and more profound than I think you meant it to be...

But you KNOW there would have to be a new hardware component to this, and that's Apple's bread and butter. I guess it would be the iSleep.
Well, they already do PodCasts... Why not beam them to you directly while you sleep? But, now they can't call them DREAMcasts...
NO just watch...
First movie. The Hobbit: There
Second movie. The Hobbit: And Back again
Just like the iocane powder I found, I'd bet my life on it!
