It is worth noting that SHAW is increasing it's Cap on its higher end rape options, i mean subscriptions. June 7th 2011

Shaw's High Speed plan caps for High Speed will jump from 60GB to 125GB. The Extreme from 100GB to 250GB. Other plans will at least double their monthly allowance.
as well, Videotron and Telus have increased there Caps to 170GB and 250GB

The CRTC has put a hold on that still, as far as i knew.
It will be nice though when the major providers open that back up.

Canada is going to be SO far behind the in the internet economy in a couple years.

does 1 device with two camera's count as 1 or 2?

I have often thought it will only be a matter of time before our Cars would have access to other cars habits.

If enough cars were fitted with its own GPS systems, and these systems recorded its average movement, this information could then be shared to other cars with in its vicinity, share not only its average commuter information but the average commuter information that it has gathered for other cars around it too.

Basically a tether of info, ideal for rush hour traffic. The GPS systems can then take all this information, Current and historic, and help direct the best coarse of action for each driver on a per second basis.

I think this link will be more helpful regarding the laws governing the preservation of the fall's spectacle.

Agreed,

Rather then 10 make it 12 or 16 even, 10 makes it future proof, 12-16 gives businesses a opportunity for other channels. The cost will go down as they implement anyway.

they would need to change the name back to Sci-Fi and have Sci-Fi Content again. Why would anyone pay for sy-fy content?

Unless they emulate HBO and have movie like shows...

if the summer increases the threshold of observation, by way of moving with the galaxy, so then should we see more at night too, (when our hemisphere is moving the same direction too)

No?

sorry i should have said "making it less a "serious" gaming console in the eyes of many "serious" gamers."

I too chose the PS3 over the Xbox, for all the above reasons. It is a serious gaming console. and by serious i think we mean, Great graphics, and hardcore games.

The Wii 2 may have equal quality in graphics next time around, but the Wii 1 is some how is not thought of as serious... It has a very large library where most games are intended to be FUN. but fun isn't "serious" anymore. Zelda and Mario have been pushed aside for blood and guts.

As for a PS4, if they could take the PS3 and improve it as much as the did from the PS2, i would be in for sure. i doubt a Wii 2 would be able to compete, but we will see.

This is why Folding at Home rewrote their code, to work with the PS3.

if your code is designed for the Cell processor from the get go, you will have an affordable setup.

New Cells are smaller and run cooler now too, so there also the savings in energy.

<quote><p>If Sony do keep shitting all over us, I might actually just decide not to get a PS4 though. I really didn't expect that I'd ever choose a Microsoft product over any other, but if the only serious gaming choice is between Windows (and potentially OSX), PS and Xbox, I might end up going Xbox.</p></quote>

While the Wii is obviously not serious, the next Gen system line up will be hard to judge at this point whether who's is more serious. PS4 may be more of a Entertainment AV Receiver (minus the Amp) making it less a "serious" gaming console. Who know where M$ is going to go.

Value.
These cheep games are great, for 5 - 10 min at a time. They have no story. No intrigue. No production value.

Compare Agree Birds to Mass Effect.

AB = Fun no brainer game that keeps you coming back for more... but really its the same thing over and over.

ME = A Story, a movie, voice actors, interaction, PLOT...

A similar question might be

Why aren't Production Games Killing Movies?

At 5 times the cost of going to a movie by yourself, (or renting a movie), that is 1.5 &ndash; 3hrs you can buy a game and get 1 - 3hrs of cinematic scenes + 50 &ndash; 100hrs of play.
