I work for HP's printer division. Guess what? We don't announce when a new printer is FCC approved. Guess what else? They have been coming off the assembly lines long before we even submit them for approval. Know why? Because you need approval to sell them in the US, not to manufacture them. Why do we risk it? because it isn't a risk. We have the FCC requirements, we design to them from the start. Our own development labs verify they meet standards as they are developed ...
Ha. I just had a "Power that grows with you" email come into my work account literally as I clicked on this story. Destiny.
There is no such word as "worser".
No clutch pedal. Junk.
What the money will be used for is to keep them dancing on the knife edge of bankruptcy a little bit longer.
Actually MS has invested around $10 Billion in the Azure system.
$700 million was the approximate cost of a recent upgrade of one of the North American server farms. They recently spent more than that building and bring a server farm on line in Ireland.
Won't happen. You figure out why.
Would be curious to see pre-paid pre-orders vs. un-paid.
Nope, not paranoid. Acceptance of the current reality. I used to work for the government. Now I work for one of the worlds biggest tech companies.

The average person won't be looking at the price and wondering about the difference in specs. The average person will look at the price difference and wonder "What does this one do that that one doesn't?"
And this is supposed to be upsetting because......?
Not for national security, because they are budding psychopaths. Hannibal Lectors in training.
Pay attention.
This is what the article is about. Like I said, its a good thing the government is watching them.
They aren't journalists (just ask Senator Feinstein (a Democrat, by the way)). They are at best, attention seeking wannabes that, usually, can't string together two intelligible sentences in a row.
That said, if it weren't for the completely irrational hatred that fan boys exhibit on a regular basis, they would have no audience in the first place.
On the other hand, perhaps having fanboys sitting around ranting on the internet is a good thing; if...
"Gamers can change things in a positive way (Xbox One policies, Mass Effect 3 extended ending) but gaming is still seen by the vast majority of people as a children's toy played by children or immature adults."
Fixed that for you.
Let's see what can I think of that uses power bricks? Laptops, printers, scanners, routers, switches, smaller guitar amps, battery chargers.............
Why is this story here again? I believe this is at least three times in the last 24 hours.
Which dollars should they use? The ones that fall form the sky when it rains?
And I predict mid October to match Forza's traditional release time.
Just as logical and likely.
