I remember way back when a company who was in the black was considered a success.
Wow I've never met anyone who was at least 150 years old before.
I thought he was spot on. I know pre-'85 that is all there really was.
I've now carried two jobs on the opposite ends here. My first one the owner all he needed to do was keep the company making $1. His salary which was worthy of an owner was just part of the overall payroll. So if they profited just a dollar, everyone and all expenses were taken care of.
Now I'm with a big corp, we make more money on avg then we've ever have, but we're in bunker mode like everyone else, streamlining, trimming beni's, dual rolled, all that jazz. We had our so called golden years 80's and 90's where money flowed through the people, perks out the ying tyang. But I don't get why that wouldn't be today since we profit 100's of millions a qtr today where we profited just 50 million a qtr then. The difference is the big boys sit on millions of shares now worth insane amounts, I can only assume they are drunk with cash and lost their focus and some humanity.

No shit.
That said, the series needs to do a Patrick Duffy, sleep off everything past Season 1 as a dream that didn't happen. A hero/villian that kills all time travelers. So they can move forward from the end of season one, not get caught up in the back and forth realities. Season one great, the rest average. The best part was as it went along there was another person entity higher up the food chain. |

| Why do they even go on record and say this stuff? They like people getting upset at them? Or they think they are going to reason with some of us? |

Killing things in a game is fake.
Baptism's in a game is for real, anyone knows that. |

The same could be said about Win7 for me. The Metro interface was not something I was used to but, after using my Surface since launch, I found the transition to be less than the total, mother raping nightmare that many others are making it out to be.

Yeah that is the truth, it seemed to be a gang pile, if you hated metro it wasn't a big deal to just download an app and get the regular desktop back. It installs 10x quicker than Steam. I don't see what the real big issue is there. I just assume the public knocks every other MS O/S. |

Funny how me and most other semi-knowledgeable folks knew that forcing Metro down people's throats was a bad idea.
Yet M$, the so-called experts, couldn't see that.
Sad beyond belief.
No shit. We are 1000's a miles away, give out our advice for free... And it's better than those in charge making bank.
As for the death of pc's... my god are these people gullible. What Wall Street wants vs the still high demand in total #'s ship are comparable. If you aren't investing in those companies and you probably shouldn't be, it wouldn't matter if the are down % points. Business is still flooded with pc's, there has been no negligible change in terms of reduction. The good news is I'm visiting them now and they have newer units on Win7 and they run so much better than the old one's. That is very nice for me. |

Zynga's in a death spiral they hope to claw out of by getting into gambling and EA, who was the second-most successful publisher in the social space is now pulling out. Man, that bubble burst fast and big.
There is no way to predict fashion gamers, other than don't bet on them when making games. |

They started a Kickstarter campaign when those essential details were still in negation. Do you think this good business practice?
Probably not. To me I think we are also going to have some other promises broken in the lines of Apple and Linux versions. They like to throw that carrot out there to include everyone as to get as many dollars a possible. My estimate is several will never release those versions. That will cause a sizable issue when that time comes. Probably a huge reason why so many are choosing Unity. |

$10 + Internet connection I was already paying for... no commercials (on netflix)... watch what I want, when I want. Can't beat it, if you don't care about new shows or current broadcasts.
Unless you live in the boonies, you should still be able to put up an antenna and get all the local stations in HD. So there is the majority of your current and news. |

Sony just said WTF? We finally support Direct X and there is no more? How can this be?
Since when? Every article thus far has indicated that they support something lower-level than DirectX or OpenGL and they support a variant of OpenGL. I've seen nothing to indicate that they support DirectX and would be shocked if Microsoft would allow that given their competition in the market.
Since This

And it is funny reading Netflix financials. DVD business is more profitable than streaming for them. I bet you heard for years, DVDs and USPS costs make DVD renting non profitable, streaming is the future. Don't believe me:

Serious Question: Do you feel it is a good time to invest in AMD? $2.50/stock.
I'm much more a fan of buying cheap stock so you can actually make it big. For example buying Ford in 2009 for $1 and selling it 18 months later for $12... That is well over the conservative 10% investment, more like 1200%.
I ask because they will own the console HW scene, and I can't imagine Sony/MS going in bed with them with the worry of going under.
The difference is that Ford was obviously a healthy company that got dragged down by being associated with the other US auto companies. I knew that at the time, and I'm still kicking myself over not buying F.
AMD on the other hand... is not looking so good. They might be able to come back, and I want them to, but it's looking like a gamble. They can't hold onto their talent or their CEOs, they don't have any new graphics tech coming out until 2014, even their optimistic roadmap doesn't have their processors matching parity with Intel for years yet...
I agree, but I also think we have bankruptcy protection with the Sony/MS deals or if it really goes south, someone would buy them. I'm gonna dig a bit on this one, there might be something here to double one's money in a year or so.

But you guys continue your crusade and fighting the good fight against the evil that is EA. I'll be too busy enjoying games regardless of who publishes them.
Too busy playing or posting? No better than me. Like you I can do both. |
