Like epilepsy.
I think it is just a pipedream for developers where they imagine they can trot out a bit more content for money whenever it suits them and they aren't doing a real game.
The results will only ever be a half-hearted aimless tease with no commitment.
I'd rather they dropped this totally crap idea and got used to the idea of actually doing some work for a living.

If we think of HD-DVD and BluRay as Xbox 360 and PS3, then logically, this is the Wii of the HD player world, right?
The big guys are all about DRM disguised as a better end-user experience.
This product is all about affordability for the end user AND the content producer.
The big guys must be shitting themselves!

Maybe they can only block so many things at one time.
Since Aussie PM Howard agreed to meet with the Dali Lama, I haven't been able to Skype Shenzhen since Thursday!

Bloody 'middle-management-itis' hits Linux.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, hold meetings.
Is that B Ark nearly ready yet?

Vista Security |

Vista IS more secure than XP, it's just that all the security is between that bastard thieving user and his PC and files, nothing to do with the internet!

Illegal downloading on downward track |

Gee, that must be worrying the RIAA. Declining shop sales and now declining downloads.
Pretty soon the kiddies will figure out that they CAN live without all that crappy product.
Then what will those fat-cats do for there next million?

Either they are not afraid of MS sueing them for Linux breaching all those MS patents, or they've signed up to the FUD fund.
I hope it's the former.

Uwe Boll funding |
May 21, 2007, 21:13 |
UnderLord |
|

I think I've figured out how he gets funding for his movies.
The big movie companies slip him the money so that there are always movies fresh in the critics (and the publics) minds that remind them how bad movies CAN be.
That way, their serious efforts to make money all get better ratings, clever!

PS3 overpriced |
May 19, 2007, 02:50 |

Based on what component cost breakdown that you're privy to do you base the 'overpriced' assertion on?
Having spent this week on a consumer electronics product, metalwork, plastics, and custom PCB assembly and testing in Shenzhen, China with their assistance in using locally sourced parts, I have a rather good idea of what things cost.
The improved Blue Laser yield achieved recently will reduce the cost of the drive and hence the PS3 by quite a bit, but they will probably defer cost reductions to recover some of the real losses incurred on the early sales.

Ubisoft and EA on PS3 price |
May 19, 2007, 00:55 |
UnderLord |
|

These guys have an inflated sense of their own importance!
Thinking you have the right to insist on a lower price for the hardware your games run on is like me thinking I can force the unreasonable price of Petrol down because I drive a car.
I solve my problem by driving a small car, maybe they should stick to programming for the Wii?
Oh, right, those shareholder thingies...

"it involved a dispute over the way Spyware Doctor rated Zango's software"
They didn't classify it as digital filth produced by the scum of the earth, then?

And why should they need an extra reason to do the best job they can on their drivers?
Or were they going to sell the card and drivers cheaper as it's a half-assed job?
If you have to modify the drivers to cope with each games coding style, there's probably too much flexibility in the API (though it seems sacrilege to say so, as a programmer).

MS Patents |
May 14, 2007, 18:36 |
UnderLord |
|

I guess MS just had to re-iterate this BS claim given that it looks possible that patent reform might invalidate patents that are obvious to someone moderately skilled in the art.
No doubt these all fall under that category, so this is their last chance to use them.
