That statement is fast becoming another hallowed urban myth of gaming.

Techspecs aside, do you really believe the hype when absolutely nothing has come out on ps3 that blows the 360's capabilities away? Haven't they had enough time? Where is the practical proof? Folding at home performance? Not really applicable.

Not to mention the fact that no developer making cross platform games is going to go very much further on a ps3 version. There's just simply no point.

Because you'll pay a subscription fee regardless of whether the mechanic to do as you wish you could exists. That type of feature wouldn't overly attract new players, it would simply appease the customer base.

Not to mention the fact that the mechanics of such a service would probably be somewhat difficult to achieve in real time and with impossibly flawless functionality (as the wow userbase demand).

No... you work for braaaiiinnnss

If that works as well as it is touted to, why did they bother releasing a 32 bit Vista? That's the problem. It's an admission of guilt.

I hear what you're saying, I'm not saying that there aren't hard decisions/resolutions to be made but right now I don't read a strategy at all. Just a neglected OS (due to commercial viability) that is there if you want it. If all windows 7 versions were 64 bit and 32 bit capable (ie, together) then manufacturers could start picking and choosing whether they put out a 64 bit client. Think about what they are doing having separate OS's for this. Failing to usher in change.

All the while, applications and the OS eat more ram and anybody who uses professional software that relies on a lot of ram (multimedia people and so forth) are more stifled than ever.

My guess is that much as I dislike Apple, they will have a much more smooth transition.

Rather than wasting our time with a new GUI, I'd like to see Microsoft get the ball rolling on full, proper migration to 64 bit. Perhaps I'm a "power user" but for a sound designer, this 2 gig limit per app/~3.5 max feels more and more like 640 kb all over again.

(Unfortunately, the existence/popularity of 32 bit windows precludes the vendors of software such as Cubase and the likes from actually doing a proper job of putting out 64 bit software).

If you start accounting for technology conceived prior to this year, you'll open a black hole in that article that not even light can escape. (Plus there have been other colliders, smaller, perhaps, but isn't this more of an engineering marvel?)

*Yawn* Call me when there is a shade powered laptop

No kidding. It isn't as if people don't love it, either. You go to the digg frontpage and there always seems to be atleast one half baked list holding strong.

Can't. The judge says I've got to atleast think at a barely legal capacity.

There has been some talk of scripting a live action Jar Jar Binks movie on there.

Sure, but maybe we can answer who watches the NotWatchingButCasuallyObserving(men).

.. but perhaps it should be made clear that the guy being interviewed has no knowledge at all of what happened to TR (nor does he claim this).

I would categorise any white person who leaves their children in their car whilst they shop as white trash so you know.. maybe not racist.. perhaps just helpfully specific.

White trash have been incubating their kids and dogs in sealed cars in parking lots around the world for years.
