If you read the article, you'd know these types of cards or for things other than gaming. Like 3D modeling and general computation. Thus the reason for the much larger memory. The drivers are also designed differently with added CAD acceleration, among other things.
Because if you own a computer and are reading the article on it, then you already own the damn OS. It's no different than re-formatting your computer. It's just that you have different parts after the reformat :).
It would be stupid to buy a new OS every time you upgraded your computer.
Even if you own a shitty little OEM computer, there is going to be a serial number label stuck on it somewhere that has your serial key for your operating system. Which ...
Yeah... no. You obviously haven't read much into this subject then or you'd know there are already many different working prototypes. Even a screen with with 7 different 3D viewing angles. Not to mention Nintendo's 3DS which doesn't need glasses. But of course it's not good enough for TV's due to the viewing angle problem of that type of approach.
But at the same time they are also a bit unbalanced in MW2. Your good enough to get a 7 kill streak, then you're given a harrier and breeze your way through a shitload more kills with little effort.
There really should be options to customize allowed killstreaks on a server. Or play any mode with them off completely. I heard they are trying to balance the killstreaks a bit better in black ops, also removing the nuke.
I'm personally waiting for the 3D TV's that don't require glasses. I can go a few more years.
3DTV's will be...just not these ones lol. The ones that don't require glasses and actually work well will be. But those are many, many years off from practical production.
@TABSF:
Nvidia going with TSMC doesn't mean it will be 32nm. TSMC is going with 28nm also. It's already been plotted out in both ATI and Nvidia's roadmaps.

MW2 is one of the most popular FPS's around... yeah it must be so bad!
Well there is 1 plus to Reach being released before it.... A lot less whiny 12 year olds playing COD, since younger people tend to like the style of Halo multiplayer more. :)
Of course people still play games for the story. But you have to remember that most people don't want to play the same story over and over again. Once you've played through single player once or twice, it's done for you. But with multi-player it's unlimited fun. Thus it is the most important for an FPS.
Aww, I thought they were actually going to use a real Amish guy.. That would have been potentially hilarious.
This was still alright though..
Because that's the basic version you'd pick up at Wallmart long after the release.
Not really.. The PSPGO was brought about due to the poor PSP sales Sony was having in comparison to the DS. They publicly blamed it all on piracy, which is almost entirely not the reason. With a closed digital distribution based system, they would be able to stop piracy and thus they thought their troubles would be over. Without realizing that pirates still buy the hardware so they can pirate games. And people who do pirate games aren't suddenly going to buy the games just because they ca...
1) The 3D is only on the top screen, of which you don't use the stylus on. You use the stylus on the bottom screen. Plus the 3DS has a sider to adjust the 3D effect to suit your eye spacing. Most review sites have been praising it for not being eye straining like movie 3D has been for many.
2.) It's 3D, everyone is aware of it's significance, it doesn't matter what Nintendo says about it. You're basically giving a straw-man argument here.

Well, the 3DS isn't just about 3D. It's a major technical upgrade also which will allow for some pretty amazing looking games. Saw Street Fighter IV running on it, looked almost PC level, pretty awesome.
The Z-Cam is only one depth sensing camera. Where as Natal has that and a normal RGB camera and multi-array microphone. So it's going to cost a bit more. Notice the 3 camera's on the front of Kinect? Cost's quite a bit to fabricate that amount of silicone. Not to mention Microsoft's general inflation on it's products, like their ridiculously overpriced hard drives for the 360, compared to what you can buy online.
And what about when it's below zero out and there's 2 feet of snow? Exercising inside is a lot more appealing then.
Not to mention people who are very self conscious about their bodies and would prefer not to be exercising in front of tons of people.
The upcoming iPhone 4G has a 960 x 640 screen.. Such high res in a small screen isn't "not necessary". Just because you can't see the individual pixels at that level with your naked eye doesn't make it pointless. It add's to the overall clarity and realism of the image. Making the image that hits your eyes feel and look more natural, just like real life where the images we are seeing are made up of photons, which are one of the smallest things in existence.
He "forgot" to add the price for Move's Nunchucks lol. Or else all you're getting is half of Move.
