Thanks, Horrorscope, that puts it in perspective.
I wanted to break down the numbers more yet. Figure AMD has 17% of the PC market, take that # per quarter do the math that is about 40 million per year, just talking CPU's.
Took the Xbox number / years... They'll ship around 40 million GPU's/APU's for consoles each year. So I see half, less what their gpu's do. I'd say more than a drop in the bucket. |

| I'm for this. Sales tax really has never got in the way of me wanting to buy something and why the double standard? Sales tax is there for a reason and it's local $$$. Perhaps our cities, schools, roads and enforcement would be in a lot better shape if things like this and even greater yet things like off-shore accounts, loopholes, tax evasion didn't exist either. Perhaps our infrastructure isn't as messed up as it seems, perhaps we simply aren't supporting our community needs well enough anymore. Perhaps. |

| So they are going to prove signing, holding a conversation, eating a burger is bad to. So why all of a sudden is this now becoming an issue. Somehow we've made it this far, if you don't think we can handle it, fast track cars that drive themselves already. |

I want to see something from AMD and buy some stock (owning the console market for example), but this also puts it into perspective.
AMD will supply both the GPU and CPU for Sony's PlayStation 4 and is widely expected to do the same for Microsoft's next Xbox. AMD also supplies the GPU for the outgoing Wii and the struggling Wii U. Game consoles are a relative drop in the bucket compared even to the dwindling PC market (Microsoft has sold a little over 70 million Xbox 360s since 2005, and the PC market can generally meet or beat that number in a single quarter)+
We get brainwashed thinking consoles are a huge deal and then we are reminded how many pc's really do sell overall. |

Well they had them on camera and it didn't stop shit, did it? In fact I'd wager it's never stopped any crime. All it's goof for is finding the criminals after the fact and that doesn't seem a certainty either. So really it's a waste of tax dollars that allows obese rent-a-cops to sit around and watch people pick their noses and scratch their asses in public.
But they did catch the bad guys. And I'm not sure why we need to attack cops either. I'm sure plenty here sit on their ass for a living looking at a screen. |

This is one of those tough ones for me. One part says "yeah I don't want to be watched", but the other part of me says "wtf am I doing that they'd even care to watch? nothing." So really it's only used to catch the bad guy right? What would they be getting catching a nameless face strolling around shopping etc?
All back to if you aren't doing anything wrong, it's really not affecting you. They'd be shit up a creek right now if they didn't have the video evidence in Boston it seems. The killers were just chillin with their friends afterwards assuming not getting caught. But what we learned is do a little make up and beard work first...
Sort of like DRM/Always online to me. I got to get bit more before I freaked, otherwise I feel I'm overly paranoid. |

What pattern? Are you suggesting that this is all part of some far-reaching conspiracy?
I think he just meant the pattern of passing unpopular legislation while the nation is distracted. I don't know if that's necessarily on purpose or not but it does happen.
Are you kidding? They'll just now pass whatever right in front of us. They figured out a smokescreen isn't even needed any more. |

It is so easy do disable Metro,
go in regedit
That is great stuff there for an enthusiast, but what MS has done has driven off the casual/average user. Those folks won't go looking for a regedit fix,
I think we need to stop thinking some of us are that far ahead anymore. That fix is simple and kids have now grown up on tech. All it takes is google. "I don't like metro how do I get rid of it". It's harder reading how to make mac n cheese. |

Looking at the list of changes is really sad, most of that should have been working right at launch
In my mind the game hasn't launched yet. That is the part people use here all the time of doing research first before buying. |

I thought the PC article had hope, it started out "People haven't necessarily stopped using them—aging PCs are still humming along in bedrooms, living rooms, and offices everywhere. It's just that those machines aren't getting replaced."
That is more the truth of it all. But Wall Street is all hype and they have to hype the good and denounce the bad in the name of growth.
As for the Win8/Apple. I know of no one that switch brands based on Win 8. I know people that removed 8 and put 7 back on, but not a total PC change like that. |

It's a new survival horror game. Next.
You mean, "awesome"? Because it's not like survival horror is a common genre these days, especially amongst big publishers. I'm certainly interested in this.
It's Next like I don't hang on teases. There will be plenty of info of the game prior to release that I don't have to get excited about a announcement of an upcoming announcement. Are we 12? |

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. |
