But from everything i've read up until now, the High Def formats were doing so poorly compared to DVD at this cycle of it's life.
Stopped reading this article after he said Sony and Microsoft are in trouble. This has got to be the one of the dumbest statements I have heard. Both companies posted a profit in their previous fiscal year(MS more than Sony). Both have a good amount of cash on hand(MS more than Sony). Contrary to popular belief Vista is selling. Not as well as they expected but it IS selling and the rest of MS core business are doing well. Sony's electronics(Flat Panels and other consumer electronics) are doi...
3 disagrees typical
One of the best articles i've read on this. The viewpoint was ever so slightly skewed but even then he makes some really good points and I have to agree with him on mostly everything. Simply put the console war is nowhere over so stop with the doomsday talk fanboys.
Now what you don't see in articles like this is that although men are stuck in their "Adolescence" I bet if you took a poll or survey you would find that men in that age group are much happier than the generations before them. Some men(myself and i'm 23) do love video games and are married. I also work 2 jobs but that doesn't mean anything cause I still have time to balance everything. I think she's just mad because she can't find a man to keep up to her standard(whatever that is)
The Market cap is the Value of the Company. Not how much cash or assets they have on hand.
There was also some talk about Yahoo splitting the divisions and selling them seperately.

Bladestar has a point. Google dominates the search industry. Merging with Yahoo would be the better option for MS as it would make them more able to compete with google for ad revenue. And Yahoo is a healthy company but recently their shareholders have been worried about losing ground in the lucrative internet search market. I didn't think they would become a takeover target but hey stranger things have happened. 2 major companies fighting is better than 1 and bunch of (relatively) smaller co...
So i'm gonna take a wild guess and say this is the evolution of the C language?lol I don't program but whatever makes it easier i'm all for. Go MS
I have them all individually but i'm getting this regardless. Wonder what's in the director's cut?
How will this affect the website?
1) They're a Mega Billion company 2) They have about $20 billion cash on hand 3) I hope that wasn't a serious statement.
They want to compete with google for ad revenue. They are realizing that it's a future spigot.
Fair enough argument. I just can't bring myself to buy a Mac though. I had a Mac book(7 years ago) but did like the OS. More power to you though. I consider myself a pretty smart surfer too but I still run anti-virus and spyware cause you never know. Even with Firefox and No-script(the greatest extension ever created).
Well I can't understand why you spent all that time searching forums when my laptop has similar performance to yours(Start up 21 shutdown 10 programs 10-15 seconds) without any changing of my registry. I also have 1.3 Ghz Celeron and all I did was upgrade my RAM to 736MB and defrag my HD. That being said nothing but respect for Apple, hell their products sell there's nothing more to it than that.
And that's simply ridiculous since I don't see there being any serious use of that power for at least a couple of years.
Well not really since XP can be put on many stylish laptops which would give it the same style(or damn near close, depending on your style) that your get from a Mac. Personally i'd prefer the Sony Vaio over all the Mac books just like i'm sure you'd prefer the Mac Books over everything else. My point being it's all a matter of preference. If you really care to look you can find a laptop with just as much style as a Mac with the functionality of a well maintained XP.
Well I don't know about you but my XP has been running strong for 4 years now. That's what pisses me off the most about people who down Windows OS's. If you actually take the time to run routine maintenance on your system(Virus scan, Adware Scan, Proper Firewall) then it's just as reliable as the "uber-reliable mac's"(end sarcasm)
I don't even want to begin to think how expensive this will be once it hits consumers.
I have a 32" Bravia and it serves me just fine.
