On the other hand, Steam OS is built on ubuntu. Time (and slashdot) will tell.

Cool story bro.

Taxis already have something similar to qr code on the chassi. It is called a license plate. all that is needed is an app for the functionality you are talking about.

Why on earth would you want to drive a car designed for city use through mud?

The common people will accept it when they realize they can facebook while driving. You might get cheaper insurance, but the car will be more expensive.

I was one of those that REALLY wanted to buy n950. I didn't want the n900, first generations always have problems. So yes, I know it is good. But they are small fish in an ocean of sharks. (or a fiat punto among hummers if you want a car analogy ;)) But why are you talking about feature phones? This is a smartphone, it will not be as cheap as a feature phone to make. MS might want there to be a strong third alternative and there will probably be a third alternative in the same sense that Linux is the third alternative on desktop after ms and apple. Quite frankly the smartphone war is practically over, android is the windows of the smartphone world. The only thing I see that could stop them is if MS aggressively tries to win the corporate sector.

No, the problem is that they are late to the party and will have to compete with juggernauts like android. Microsoft with all their money has trouble gaining in this field. They will have a hard time attracting developers to their phone.

It is a shame this will never be mainstream.

No, Ps vita isn't the controller in this case. Ps Tvita has an ordinary controller. You are mixing it up with their other solution, where you stream directly to your handheld.

I play cutting edge perfectly fine without a console... if you haven't noticed, there is this thing called a "PC" which can be used for gaming. Not only that, but it has better controls for certain types of games. Crazy I know.

Will the games play remotely without a disc in the PS4? And will it stream fullHD (since vita doesn't have it)?

The problem is that most 3ds-games have dual screen in mind so nintendo will not be able to ditch one screen.

The 2DS strategy is simply a trick to get more children to play nintendo games. It is more durable than 3DS and no 3D (if you are afraid that your children will be damaged by that)

The voter turnout is about 55-60%. That means about 40% doesn't support or doesn't care about who is leading the country. If a third party could swoop them up, they would win. Not that it will ever happen ofcourse... most people don't think they can change anything, which of course becomes a self fullfilling prophecy.

Alice, is that you?

New features include new master key I presume.
