| Under Intel's current license agreement, if a company is taken over by another company to the point where nothing can really resemble the old company, the license can be considered null and void.
However, AMD is still AMD, and while Intel questions AMD's validity until they decide to sell more parts of themselves and begin to have a complete take over by someone else. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Its like PCI-E. Most video cards cannot even get near the max bandwidth the bus can provide, but that doesn't stop companies from drafting new specs.
That said, with new potential SSD speeds, a speed bump is in order. Hard drives are creeping up to the max bandwidth that SATAII can provide. Flag this | Edit this post |

| It really doesn't mean much. If my babel-translator is set to salesmen-pitch, it comes out to something like this:
We've changed the name radically so instead of competing with someone who is incapable of competing, we'll compete with ourselves. The name doesn't mean anything, but basicly we mean for it to be 'smaller, faster, cooler, better.' in comparison to our previous product. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Something like the Cell CPU or the Intel 80 core proof of concept CPU would do nicely.
I think the main problem is, software and hardware headbutts eachother all the time. Its all about compromise occasionally.
You can't utilize the hardware without proper software and software at some point WILL be limited to how good the hardware is.
Its a balance that both sides usually don't see eye to eye on. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Except Nvidia can afford to take a hit like this. AMD cards might show better performance for the price, but nvidia's mobile solutions are far more incorporated in today's laptops.
With 1.8 billion in their warchest, Nvidia has a lot of potential to build back up. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I guess I was a little overthetop with my extreme hatred of 'accessory' attachment Wii.
However, my earlier source came from someone who played around with the extra motion sensing attachment. It really didn't do anything additionally for the tech demo they had, but it could've been because of calibration issues.
That said, what reports actually give positive preview/reviews on it? Flag this | Edit this post |

| September along with X58 chipsets, sources at motherboard makers have revealed.
However, the sources pointed out that CPUs and motherboards will not officially appear in the channel until early October.

| | Because even for the games that use it (thats come out so far, via 1st party) it doesn't really do a damn thing as far as improving the motion sensing capabilities. Its just extra luggage that doesn't really do anything Flag this | Edit this post |

| I think you might be a little confused.
So what its in C+? It has nothing to do with the programming language, rather its the model or execution platform that gives it the problem. Its like the Cell CPU or anything else; its not just a matter of making a program that works with the GPU. Its a matter of making it 'for' it. Flag this | Edit this post |

| The fact that she sued without legal representation is a clear cut sign that she really has no legal ground.
Its a problem that needs to be addressed yes: But its clearly unreasonable and really, if she read the service agreement before signing her soul away she'd realize that she acknowledges that bestbuy cannot/will not be responsible for any sort of fallout with missing/gone data.

| Not true. Everytime a laptop is sent out from BB to a service center, you sign a waiver that pretty much states anything fallout from losing data or the act of losing data, best buy is not legally liable. The customer essentially waives all damages - not only that but the waiver agreement also states that data information has a possibility of being lost.
If she signed it, she will not get very far in court. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Theres nothing wrong with being monopolistic. Infact, its easier on developers when thats the case.
PCs are not a good example because theres nothing monopolistic about it. Theres industry adopted standards by dozens of different corporations and companies that all specialize in one particular piece of product that design hardware along with the code-logic in order to make everything work with each other.
Theres no magic fucking bullet. But since how developers "are" what make the consoles, pleasing them to a certain extent makes sense. I don't care if its the PS3 or Xbox 360 or Wii, but a clear superior console that people would know will have the majority of games behind it would be nice.
Not everything has money to spend on all three consoles. Its already been a headache; what if there were four consoles? Five? Ten?
Wheres the line? The consumers are the clear losers because if they have to choose between console A-Z, all with decent games, some cross overs and exclusives, everyone loses.
In the end, consoles WILL end up like PCs. Infact, they already are. The differences are, are 'one' hardware standards that they use for game development.
I think you guys are missing entirely how closely related PC-Console games are.
And in reality, theres nothing wrong with someone introducing a new console into the market. If theres something to bring. But I'm not ready for a dozen illterations of Phantom Consoles or 3DOs. Theres nothing communistic about it, as it allows freedom for everyone still; its really just a organized direction. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I think you are reading in it too far or wrongly.
Hardware would indeed evolve but not in such diverse ways. By keeping to similar hardware standards, even if there was technically one console, software developers wouldn't have to develop and test for two or three consoles across the board.
For example, even if I were to pay 600 dollars or 500 dollars for a console now, I'd indeed pay for it if it played Xbox 360 and PS3 games. The value is just there. Its all about the software library and its quality, when it comes down to it.
I've held the same position on consoles and standards for a long while now. 2-3 is already a crowd, if we get a few more players in the game, it would be nothing more than a unorganized free-for-all.
Competition is good, when everything is on the same playing field. Should be PC vs console. Not Console vs Pc vs Console vs Console. Flag this | Edit this post |
