Could, and does. FTFA:

Along with waiting for new and high-quality cellular companies and cable companies, don't hold your breath.

I tend to switch back and forth between ATI and Nvidia every upgrade - not that I do it on purpose, I just seem to upgrade whenever one or the other has the better-performing ~$250 card at the time (X1650, 8800GT, 5770 were the last couple). I have never had a "driver problem" with any game until Rage - which still didn't work after AMD pushed a hotfix, id Software issued their only two patches before they abandoned the game for dead, and still didn't work despite five months of AMD updates when I tried it out of curiosity in March.

I didn't think it was actually AMD's fault in October, and I still don't, now.

Some of us have. Everyone wants to know why I didn't buy Skyrim, despite putting up with Fallout 3's/New Vegas' problems - and it's because of how Bethesda handled the clusterfuck that was the Rage launch.

Since the developers can't even make their games run correctly on consoles, I think it's fair to blame the problem on them.

And is your problem with mystery reboots from Windows automatically updating? Fix that here.

+1, Depressing.

Regardless of how you feel about their products, it HAS been nice knowing ATI - considering how bad Nvidia's price-gouging is now, think how bad it would be without ATI.

Ah, but for email to work, you had to have someone collect emails on a list first. Plus, email didn't provide photos to help you put faces to names of your sometimes 40+ classmates.

And when Facebook started, it wasn't the huge data-mining operation it is now. Likes, statuses, apps , locations - none of those existed when Facebook started. It was your college, and your current classes (your previous semesters were archived but available), and a few photos. Hell, I remember classmates laughing when they added the two-word drop-down menu statuses, about how much the FBI was paying to know when "Jim is 'sleeping,'" "Jim is 'at work,'" and "Jim is 'in class.'"

The original business idea (ignoring the hot-or-not-style one night programming project origin) was to get people together that were in the same classes at their respective universities, but didn't know each other. That way, they could talk about tests, ask each other questions, that kind of thing. It was a great idea - and then they completely removed that option when they realized that only 10% of their user base was using that option, and the rest were just using it to stalk the hotties in their classes.

But it's also gotten people to stop caring about health-care reform, because now health care is "fixed," though it's nothing more than a band-aid on a hemorrhaging stump. As far as democrats are concerned, the poor people have been saved, and the only reason they EVER bring up PPACA anymore is to point out that Obama fathered it, and that he is amazing.

Meanwhile, my insurance is 30% higher than it was two years ago, and provides me no more benefit than it did before - except that if I decide to drop it, and put that money into a savings account for a "rainy day," I get pretty much that entire savings taxed away anyhow.
