The current state of 3 competitors isn't stable- there's only room for 2, and once microsoft pulls out (though I think it's more likely that Sony will drop out) there's not going to be a power vacuum.
C) Geeks that having an ubercool toy will get them sex with a non-geek.
Are they hoping that the touch screen will turn chicks on at parties?... Seriously, the "e-toy" market is ridiculous, including all shiny Apple products (yes, mod me into oblivion, but it's all the same marketing idea). Spending hundreds of dollars on a useless product to impress people doesn't impress me. Except for case mods, those impress me at parties. Lan parties.
What? What a ridiculous idea- microsoft can do it because they have hundreds of billions to throw at it, but EA is a software developer and they have nowhere near the infrastructure for actual hardware development. Plus, who would buy it with only EA games available for it:)
Come on social network users, you know what you were getting into when you filled out all of those boxes.. don't tell me it didn't cross your mind that companies would pay billions for that data.
I think he has a point- 14.1" laptop screens are cramped enough even with my thinkpad's 1400x1050 resolution.. I positively shudder to think what it would feel like to read slashdot on a 3 inch screen at a fifth of that resolution.
Did they ship packages through them too, like in the Angry Beavers episode? (the grand prize for the mail-in contest was a street sweeper, that arrives instantly via pneumatic tube mail)
If monkeys are stupid enough to develop a preference of one color m&m over another, then I agree it's not extendable to human phychology. They taste exactly the same.
No, it sounds like something out of a ridiculously popular A-movie that makes 100s of millions of dollars. You underestimate the american public's willingness to watch total crap.
Not that I'm FOR any of this mind you but this system seems so much more obviously effective... Exactly how the MPAA engineers justified themselves to their collective consciences?
Quibbling over a few dollars? The point is that Apple charges more than it's worth, depriving you of money to increase their profit margin. How is cheap not a virtue when comparing one core 2 duo to an identical core 2 duo, and the first costs $100 more? That's the only difference!
Well half of my applications are services. Besides that, how would the system know that the irc:// pseudo-protocol is associated with xchat? Or that steam:// lets me buy steam games from the browser? How about ultramon, which I want to run on startup.. I don't suppose OS X checks every folder in the filesystem for an application wanting to start up. These things have to be registered with the OS.
Wow, what a terrible idea. It's like WinXP logic for font installing- Explorer is consistent _except_ for the font folder which calls the font register-er when you drop files into it. Finder is consistent _except_ for the applications folder which installs system services and processes scripts every time you drop a dmg into it. Hm.

Guess the UK needs a trillion-dollar defense budget too...

You must be new here...

If you have nothing to hide, why won't you let us look in your trunk?

Please, it's all about branding. They have to have a move in there somewhere. Ergo: /dev/null

Hm.. a GPS module.. Who wants to bet that someone makes a product called a "bug tracker" :)
I agree, the routers _didn't_ fail, that's how the thieves got in in the first place.

No, Ubuntu is using acpi to actually send load/unload signals several times per minute. The hard drive is just obeying the OS.
