Comment What were you really expecting? (Score 1) 276

Of Course the passwords will be simple, Most people setup their accounts on the system with the controller. They just wanted to get past the screens to play with their new system so they wanted something really simple that they could forget. If they ever needed to actually get in they could just reset it in theory. They could of used a strong password but we know people dont do that.

Simple concept yes, but simple to scale? no, simple to manage adding new features? no simple to manage adding 100M new accounts a year?, no Simple to do way over 50 million tweets a day? no In January of this year they were doing 50M tweets a day, but they have added 100M users since then.

Comment What about the Sony NEX-5 or 4/3s (Score 0) 446

The Sony NEX-5 and NEX-3 and also 4/3s frame digital cameras are technically not DSLR's because they do not have mirrors but are larger than a point and shoot and have detachable lenses. Where do they fit in this silly ban? Also remember this is the country that wanted to ban the Blackberry and then backed down.

I am sorry but this is not a flaw in the game at all. Its a flaw in the maintenance of everyone's computer. When you play a game you have to assume it is taxing your computer and its getting hot. Any taxing game will do this to a computer that is as people have said does not have adequate airflow, overclocked to an extreme, or just dirty. It doesn't help that the game came out during the hottest part of the summer in many areas of the country. This article is just a grab for eyeballs and clicks of ads, Slashdot is just helping this.

iPhone As a PC Game Controller 54

TechCrunch has an article about a startup called iMo, which aims to enable control of any PC game using an iPhone or iPod Touch. The idea is to reduce the need for gaming peripherals while you're on the move, and make motion-control available to more players. Quoting: "The system also features onscreen controls for the iPhone and iPod Touch, as not every PC game will benefit from using things like the accelerometer, obviously. This all works via both Bluetooth and WiFi connections between your device and your computer. The plan is to offer iMo in the App Store for $0.99; the first version should be available new in the App Store. And long-term, the company hopes to make it available on other mobile platforms as well, including Android. And ultimately, they'd love to include support for gaming consoles as well, like the aforementioned Wii, the PS3, and the Xbox 360."
