If MS stock drops he will pay less taxes if he sells it after the price drops. However, if MS expects Wii like sales for Kinect and iphone like sales for the new windows phone, there shouldn't be a need to sell since that may raise MS's stock price and he'll receive his cut in dividends.

I think it's strange to sell so much stock if MS plans to make profit with Kinect and the new windows phone. What that means for Balmer is that he will get a smaller cut of the dividends which is deducted from gross profit after a retained earnings report is made. I think he is hiding some inside information from the public since he has willfully prevented himself from profiting in MS's latest products.

In accounting it does count as sold units. Sony sold 2.5 million to retailers. Now it's up to the retailers to sell them to customers. Retailers wouldn't have bought so much if it was an item that will sit there for a while. So far, I've seen little available units on shelves so I'm guessing they are selling just fine.

Premium channels are commercial free, but you have to pay a lot for them.

You are misinformed at what being open minded is. To have an open mind you must be willing to listen to a variety of opinions. Your personal choice doesn't have to agree with every opinion out there. Many believe that if they condone everything taboo then they are open minded. That is far from true.

Many have the idea that condoning the taboo is an instant path to having an open-mind and being insightful. They misunderstand what it is to be open minded and insightful. They really need to read more and do some intense thinking. However one should always be careful to not be a douche bag and force others to think alike because that too is irrational. Politely give your side of the issue and let them live in ignorance if they choose to.

You can make it harder by leveling up your aeons.

Yeah, social scientist have determined that the mind could only handle between 120-200 people to socialize with. That's why many peoples have divided themselves in groups about that size. Many tribal people like to keep tribes about 200 people. Congregations are recommended not to exceed 200. Roman military units were put to groups of about 120.

You forgot to subtract dividends.

To me old school gaming is gaming resembling arcade games of the 80s and 90s. I haven't played Chrono Trigger so I can't comment on that.

I downloaded about 15 songs. I would like to know if they counted the just downloads or just purchases. I own a PS3 and PSN allows you to download multiple times without having to repurchase the content for each download.

You can join games in progress and see a friend's game activity depending if the game they're playing supports it.

Not if they bring back more rpg elements back into gameplay.

That's why launch models had BC.

The article is right. I have spent money to buy other Sony products for my PS3, and most of my friends who were also early adopters at least bought a DS3.

I did not expect my friends to talk about it but they did a lot. On facebook many friends of mine started showing interest in it after the second Dallas Cowboys game because of the ads during the game.
