Comment Lets ask in different context (Score 1, Insightful) 486

Should ISPs cut off P2P users that infringe copyrights? Contractually, the ISP would be reasonably justified in cutting off a user from the internet, as copyright infringement would be contrary to the terms of the ISP's acceptable-use policy.

What about posting opinions that the ISP company doesn't like? It's not like its suppressing free speech as they are a private company.

Or what about if we just let ISPs be what they are supposed to be, common carriers, before this goes to slippery slope?

What did Nintendo learn? Wii is one of the locked-down devices of the current generation consoles. They have strict rules for developers (need to be a formed company having an office and good amount of staff and financial ability) and they are strict about adult games.

Even 360 and PS3 are more indie-friendly.

As far as the "I'll bet that most people who play it will fall into the "just one more turn" trap" comment; nope, I've played 4 games, won the last 2, and when it asked to keep playing, I said no thanks every time.

That's not what the comment means. It means if you have something else to do, you think you'll play just one more turn and then quit playing. I remember when as a kid our family was leaving for a holiday and when everyone was ready and waiting, my father would yell he plays just one more turn.

Obviously, after the turn you have to play just one more...

Comment Re:My Review... (Score -1, Redundant) 380

The video I saw of some gameplay made it look like a console game designed for the lowest common denominator.

The UI has been streamlined, but the gameplay underneath is still the same. Which according to reviews and me testing the demo is only a good thing, as things aren't so cluttered and you don't have popups jumping up all the time.

No, it wouldn't been a similar impact. Just think how much data Google has from analytics alone. It's all over the Internet and the user is not giving any info in that case. On top of that they have all the search queries, emails, what videos you watch on youtube, chat logs, all the information from Android devices.. the list goes on. This is also much more private and personal data, especially when its put together, than whatever you decide to write on facebook or your myspace profile. But the worst is analytics and the quantity of data you give them along, unknowingly for many casual users.
