Comment Re:I don't think so. (Score 1) 1128

I do not understand the intricacies of quantum theory, however, I know that quantum theory has been discussed by people who do understand it, and that those people have reached consensus, made experiments, proven (or disproven) theories each time explaining better and better the things they are observing and I understand that there are probably some other things which don't quite fit in their current theory, but when they find them they will come up with better theories instead of ignoring the observations. That is definitely not faith.

I don't understand this point at all. The huge-selling Wii now has a market that means a lot more than "core gamers". Even if these core gamers stay with Microsoft or Sony, Nintendo has a big market all for themselves and Nintendo has their own exclusives which include the three the top rated games in Gamerankings. And if the Playstation and Xbox have shown something is that "continued rehashes of old franchises" is exactly what the market wants, look at the top selling games for PS3 and Xbox 360 and most of them are yearly rehashes (7 instances of the Call of Duty series!)

Comment Hangouts are Awesome (Score 1) 310

My family and I are spread throughout the world. At first we used Skype to talk, but in recent versions they decided to remove the option to video chat with more than one person (unless you want to pay for the plus version) so we started looking into some other options, since most of us have Android devices we figured it would be easy enough to try out hangouts and so far they have worked great, people can connect from their browser or from their Android device and you get decent audio and video for at least four people in different parts of the world. I am a big fan.

Other than that I cannot say I use my G+ account much, though, however, I would say I use it as much as my FB account.

no browser wars, no open Web standards, no Mozilla, no Firefox. How might the Web — and the world — have looked today if that had happened?"

Hari Seldon would disagree. Even without Netscape, the web would have eventually realized that the healthier state was open standards and the movement would have started, maybe it would have taken more time, but sooner or later someone would have thought: "Know what? Things would be a lot better around here if instead of one big company changing the way things work whenever it wants we just decided on something and stuck with it."

Comment Re:Amazon Prime (Score 1) 488

As both an Amazon Prime subscriber and a Netflix user, I can tell you that Amazon Prime's selection of movies is very, very limited and has been since they first introduced the service. Now, the other perks are very nice and I am happily paying for them but as far as streaming goes Netflix is miles and miles ahead.
