No one will fucking buy the $299 version. This is ridiculous. This is just so they can say "our console starts at $299!", but in reality, you'll have to slap down $400+ to get a 'real' Xbox.
The difference between sports and video gaming is that if some loony rugby/football/whatever fan goes nuts and kills someone over some sports issue, nobody will seriously suggest sweeping restrictions on sports among the youth, that sporting is 'of the Devil', etc......
I'm sure I'm going to be asked to turn in my "geek card", but just what the hell IS "podcasting" anyhow? (n.b.: I do not own an iPod, nor do I own a clone thereof)
Now how about they open up all of those government databases that you now need Lexis/Nexis to search? How about they finally create a site that lets me search what my tax dollars pay for in the first place?
They hope that soon robots will become a common occurrence in our homes.
Yeah, and "they" (whoever "they" might be) have been saying this since, what, 1950?
Give me a fucking break already. Unless they define "robot" as "Roomba" (or similar extremely simple single-purpose devices that only qualify as "robots" by the most generic of textbook definitions), this ain't happenings.
Wake me when "they" are done with this pie-in-the-sky bullshit on the topic of "robots in the home". That, or when they have my flying car ready for me. Or my disease-curing nanites. Or my personal spacecraft. Or...
This is going to be absolute HELL for transgendered people. Any transgendered person will be immediately spotted, and perhaps even arrested (they will be seen as "men wearing womens' clothing").
I'm not a "zealot" for wondering why everyone consistently miscapitalizes a very simple three-letter word in the same way.
You, however, are perilously close to zealotry for swearing at me unprovoked.
For the record, I run GNU/Linux-based systems (mostly Debian) on all of my systems except three (one iBook running Mac OS X, one UltraSPARC system running OpenBSD/SPARC64, and one Windoze box for gaming). So I'm not the Stupid Mac Zealot you probably assumed I am:)

You're looking at it backwards.
It isn't "low end hardware which does not support Vista will no longer be manufactured."
It's "low end hardware which Vista does not support will no longer be manufactured."
The problem is with MS's ever-bloating software, not with Intel.
Color me pessimistic, but something tells me that this thing will only work in IE (or maybe only in Windows).
I bank with Bank of America. If they change to some funkadelic system that requires Windows, I won't be banking with them for long.
Minority Report.
If you want it to be possessive, it's just 'I T S', but if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's 'I T apostrophe S', scallawag!"
"We believe the suit is without merit and we will defend ourselves against it vigorously" Most. Generic. Legal response. EVER.

Will users be able to upgrade it via Flash to the latest wireless technologies?
Remember Back In The Day when some 33.6 modems could be flashed up to the latest 56k standards?
...wait, did the SlashDot editors just use "its" correctly?
;)
Holy shit. First Apple switches to Intel, then Sarge is released, and now this? I think Hell has officially frozen over now.

"An" famous London Street?
This is what editors are for.
Jesus, calm down. The doors in the movie are a lot less intelligent-- more like these bins are going to be.
...the doors on the "Heart of Gold" in the H2G2 movie... the ones that sigh.
It's called "Mac". "MAC" means something completely different.
And you're going to get modded down, since no one cares any more except you and me.

Why does everyone insist upon writing "Mac" as if it were an acronym? It isn't. It's short for "Macintosh". It's "Mac", not "MAC".
I did.
That hasn't stopped the MPAA et al from challenging one's "Right to Tivo".
"ABC News is reporting that six U.S. computer companies (Apple, Dell, Hewlett Packard, Intel, Microsoft and Netgear,)"
Um, only half of those companies sell computers.
"More attention and money for MythTV will result in a better product."
...and lawsuits from the MPAA, etc. ;)
