Comment Does anyone honestly care? (Score 3, Insightful) 246

I remember the huge fanfare when Firefox 4 came out, we were on 3.x.x for ages.
That was what, 2 years ago now I think? And so now we've since had 17 new "versions", it maybe deserves to be 3, at best. My point here? /., we don't need an article every time a new version is released. You don't do this with chrome either, and for good reason.
They come out too frequently, with too few changes, and frankly very few people honestly care at this point.

After all, the company still has a lot of really smart developers and engineers, a whole ton of cash

...and an idiot management team directing it all.
If I've learned anything working for big companies, it's that it doesn't matter how great your grunt workers are, or how great your budget is.
If you have shitty management/leads, you will fail.

I've never been a fan of the "PC Master Race" people, but fuck, the further we go, the more they seem to be technically right.
( I still don't care for their attitudes though :/ )
Consoles used to have the fact they were cheaper going for them, but that's hardly true anymore :/
On top of that, it's Microsoft. You know they're going to port most, if not all, of the games that do well to the Windows OS.
You know, their other product?

People are surprised when I tell them that you're not going to get a car that drives you from A to B, or door to door, in the next 10 years.

Oh really now?

Google has already been testing the cars on the road in Nevada, which passed a law last year authorizing driverless vehicles. Both Nevada and California require the cars to have a human behind the wheel who can take control of the vehicle at any time. So far, the cars have have racked up more than 300,000 driving miles, and 50,000 of those miles were without any intervention from the human drivers, Google says.
