VLC, quite probably the most useful media player available right now

The only reasons to use VLC are playing back partial files, and playing media on a PC where you don't have the rights to install anything using codecs. For anything else, MPC-HC does the job much better.

They're adding in pornography?

only 10% of their potential customers are pirates, which means they are losing at most 10% of their sales

Even though I don't believe piracy to be a large problem, that sentence is completely illogical. A single customer is not limited to buying a single game.

Considering Google is now offering automatic transcription of all YouTube videos, I'd say they certainly haven't given up on speech recognition yet.

The same way they do right now? The situation you describe is already reality.

Which is why I use Firefox. Not too many features included by default, but by far the most addons, plugins and scripts to give it all the functionality I want.

What? Last Remnant PC version is superior to the 360 version in every way. They added turbo mode and extra content, have a wide range of graphic customization options, load times are wayyy shorter and it runs well on mid-range hardware. Sure the controls are a bit clunky if you don't have a 360 pad, but if you do, it's way above the 360 version.

When you have a game like Crysis that's only getting 20 FPS on $3000 review boxes, then that's a sign that there's a serious mismatch of priorities in the industry.

I get more than that on my 550 euro box, and I don't think the dollar is low enough yet that it'd be equivalent in price. Sure it's not at the top settings, but it still looks pretty good, and I don't play games for graphics anyways.
