You really think a robotic CowboyNeal would be there to serve YOU?

But keep them (me) in a coma to harvest for organs.
What?
Bad idea. If you did that, no matter what sort of Orwellian security system or clone handicapping mechanism you have in place to prevent against it, one of your clones (the whiniest, most likely) would eventually escape and tell everyone of your operation and ruin your presidential bid.
You are going to run for president, right? It's the only logical thing to do with clones, as I understand it.
"The Software titles coming to Steam range from creativity to productivity. Many of the launch titles will take advantage of popular Steamworks features, such as easy installation, automatic updating, and the ability to save your work to your personal Steam Cloud space so your files may travel with you.
Just to clarify, in case anyone jumped to the same conclusion I did at first:
Scientists Record Signal Of Distant Black Hole Consuming A Star
Not:
Scientists Record Signal Of Distant Black-Hole-Consuming Star
Minor difference.
As someone who likes to play games, a prototype cartridge only really has value to me if it's a beta or otherwise different version from the released game or for an obscure game that never actually got released (i.e. the English version of Mother 1 (colloquially: Earthbound Zero), which was translated and localized, but had the plug pulled at the last second before NOA released it). Apart from tossing it in a display case and inviting people to come stare at it for a few seconds, what would be the purpose of a prototype cart of one of the most popular games of the NES era? To me, it sounds like it has the same amount of novelty as the gold cases: "Yes, it's the same program as the game everyone else has... but this one's in a funny-looking prototype case!"
The underlying question is why, for the love of all that is good in this world, would you eat at a McDonald's in France?
Because you're getting tired of Quarter Pounders With Cheese and you wanted to experience the Royale With Cheese that Jules and Vincent were talking about?
For me, it'd take two simple demands:
1. A tech job someplace with an actual tech sector (and preferably a tech culture to go with it).
2. Enough extra pay to adjust for the inevitable increase in the standard of living there as opposed to the middle of nowhere, where I am now.
I'd make the standard joke about how if I'm dreaming, I'd also want a pony, except I'm in the middle of horse country right now, making that joke more depressing than much else.
While I salute the efforts of our nation's social network peoplemabobs to this effect, and I agree with their sentiments wholeheartedly given events both recent and historic regarding Apple, I must say, this will have to directly affect Apple's bottom line and market share long-term before it'll mean anything. Lasting longer than a week would be a good start.
Every 3 months or 3,000 miles
Well, that would change the song a bit.
I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
And if I did that two more times
I would've saved my car an oil change
