How exactly can it be the manufacturer's fault that their product doesn't withstand energy bombardment from a technology that was unknown to them for the entire duration of the product's development?
That's like trying to blame medieval armorsmiths for not making chainmail protect against tasers.

Well, you ignore PC gaming with your comment so I assume you're only considering consoles, due to them having static configurations that ease some of the development burdens.
So your view is that devs are being held back because the set hardware they develop for isn't changing to keep up with the times fast enough?

Yeah, you're right, probably should make it so consoles are easier to upgrade. Maybe standardized connectors on the main board so you just plug in a processor, ram, non-volatile storage, media reader, graphics processor, sound processor, input devices, and networking? And of course you should have the system software easily upgradable to take better advantage of advances in software technologies and driver bugfixes.
Current controllers are quite limiting too, they should definitely offer a 103-button controller for text input, and a separate motion sensing controller with a couple buttons of it's own (use an optical beam and sensor on the bottom of it to read the motion of the surface it rests on, that would fix the current motion controller issues).

How many of those were actual choices made by healthy women with reasonably viable pregnancies they got themselves into, and how many were medical treatments to save the woman's life/health? Or unwanted pregnancies forced on them by men who wouldn't take No from a "stupid little chick who should just shutup and take it" (or even worse, "I'm the man of the house, I raised her, she obeys me!")?
And how many are from fertilized eggs that never implanted because of morning afters? Or just the pill in general?

And to get a goodwin in here, compare how many jewish people were lost in 5 years because the germans decided the jewish religion was inferior to their's?

I recall a slashdot story years about about using a virus found in pond scum to attack tumors. The idea was normal cells have dealt with this virus many times over, but the cancer cells forget what to do with it.
They had a before and after picture of a golfball sized tumor on the back of someone's neck that was almost completely gone after one injection of this stuff.

Always wondered what happened to that research, I figured some big drug company silenced it.
