understanding tech is still nerdy

What is grating when non-tech-literate people come up to me and tell me what great things their I-Toy can do, while other brands could do the same for a decade.

"Look how great my Iphone is, it has a talking cat and a fart app" (The fart app was in the top 10 downloads for a very long time in Germany, simple humour for simple people)

I gave up discussing IT with those people because it doesn't get you anywhere

Some of the recent Nvidia Chips caused nasty geometry artifacts in older games which kept getting more and then the game crashes. I wasn't able to play Sim City 4 and Startopia.

Problem disappeared when I switched from my 8800GT to a Radoen HD5870. A friend with a GTX280 had the same problem as me.

They need to make the controller logic bullet proof, Seagate had quiet some problems with their hybrid disks

Internet on the customer side needs to be several magnitutes faster to accomodate the same graphic fidelity

If you like Green Lantern, watch the recent Green Lantern: Emerald Knights

The site was well known for fake videoplayer plugins that lured unaware users into useless subscriptions.

Bet one eurocrat got angry about the roaming charges because he used his private phone in Brussels.

For less computer savvy people facebook et al IS the internet.

It is just idiot proof. Consoles are also built to be used by people that aren't exactly cumputer literate. The user has to be able to play a game without much thinking. It will take at least a decade till this model will fade. Turn the console on, put in disc play game, a console just can't afford to be more complicated than that with the current market situation.

The so called 7 Cores are pretty specialized sub units. With the lack of good middleware and development kits at the PS3 release, the platform is just now after years starting to get somewhat used

there are more phones besides the full featured smartphone. Apple mostly caters to the upper market segment, while Android can be can also be used in middle and maybe even lower market segments (Just look at the Xpressmusic). Sheer volume will put Android before Apple and WinMobile.

I am German, those extra expensive "service" numbers are usually 0900 numbers, is that the same system in the USA ?

Nintendo Wii buyers aren't core gamers.

Since SC4 controls come from an arcade design I'd rather play keyboard only than keyboard and mouse. At the EVO 09 SFII THDR Tournament there was a player with a button only controller, right hand area somewhat mimicking the arrow keys.
Oh and SC4 played with a console controller relies heavily on macro buttons since it isn't possible to properly hit facebuttons simoultanously that are on the opposite side of each others (A and Y on a 360 Controllerfor example), and the SC4 control scheme relies on these combinations a LOT.
