Comment Whatever you think you know is probably wrong (Score 1) 153

It's funny that so many people are writing about the Sega CD, the Saturn, the 32X ... as if those products were yesterday, not 20 years ago. The modern Sega is a different beast. The real question is, why does anyone care what Tom Kalinske thinks? Isn't it enough that he starred in the biggest hero-worshipping book every written about any game executive, past, present, or future? I'm surprised "Console Wars" didn't have a centerfold pullout pictorial of him with six-pack abs and flowing locks of hair like Fabio.

The masses will switch as soon as they see "Did you know Facebook could be faster --> Click Here ---"

Somehow I doubt that'll be any more effective than those old website buttons that said "This site is optimized for Netscape Navigator - click here to download".

Comment It's not just the "technologically advanced" bit (Score 2) 215

When there's a gas station every other mile and you have to struggle to find a charging station, it's difficult to make a case for convenience and reliability. But this is changing, particularly in smaller, more technologically advanced countries like Japan.

Japan doesn't have significant oil reserves from which it can produce its own gasoline. Whether it learned that lesson from World War II, or whether it sees the continuing political instability in the Middle East as a motivator - Japan is probably doing this because it's politically expedient rather than because it's cool tech.
