where are they ? i havent seen once since late 90s.
Starcraft 2 came out this year and I think it was $60.
If dropping Wikileaks ends up disrupting their sales, then maybe they'll think twice before dropping a customer that the State Department dislikes. The DDoS attacks are giving them a business reason NOT to drop Wikileaks.
Because extortion is an acceptable business practice now, amiright?
Technically, you (the recipient) are authorizing Amazon (or whatever company) to act as your agent and accept purchases on your behalf. You would also authorize them to exchange that for you for an item of equivalent value (possibly the same item of different size, or whatever difference).
This in no way affects the contract between Aunt Milly and yourself as you have authorized Amazon to accept the gift for you.
Without being a lawyer or an expert in this matter, I am just going to go out there and say you are wrong.
In this case, they are both the AGENT of Aunt Milly AND you. They are, in effect, receiving the gift purchased by Aunt Milly on your behalf (without wasting the time and resources required to actually deliver it to you) and then exchanging it for something which YOU have specified. All they are doing is automating the receive-exchange process.
You should believe ALL of them. Everyone is giving you their own personal, and probably biased, opinion.
My first, and only, experience with the Kinect was in a Kinect store in Toronto (an entire store dedicated to this thing!). I have to say the whole process was pretty much hassle free. I just stood there while it registered my body (pretty much the equivalent of registering a controller on the ps3/wii/xbox) which took a few seconds. I did notice that you had to be standing a fair distance from the setup meaning this will more likely have to go in a family room as opposed to someones bedroom.
I didn't notice any lag really while playing the game (I played a racing game) which was pretty fun. I didn't try out any of the voice commands (didn't even know it coud do that) so I can't comment. One of the employees was managing the menus so I can't comment on that either.
One thing that I did notice was that the employee seemed extremely relaxed while playing and had excellent control whereas I was a lot more rigid in my movements and had a bit more difficulty. The human mind is an amazing feedback controller and should be able to adapt to most things you throw at it (input lag and whatnot). I liken the experience to the first time I played the wii.
Will this be useful for high-end competitive gaming? I highly doubt it. Will this be amazingly fun to have in the home? Hell yes.
Hint: We don't enjoy the adverts, especially after paying almost $12 for a ticket. Perhaps if the whole audience gives the camera the finger through all of the ads, they will get the message?
I object to this. I fully enjoy the occasional ad in the theatres. Heck, I even pay to go watch the Cannes Lions any year that I can (basically an hour and a half of the best commercials from around the world). The biggest problem I have is that there is generally a very limited pool that they use at any given time so if I see several movies over the course of a week or two then I see the same ads all the time.
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
