As a gamer, I completely concur.
As an office drone, though, I need some of the more advanced stuff.
I heard once that the reason he didn't do anything with SW after ROTJ was because his ex-wife had a clause in the pre-nup that guaranteed her a certain percentage of Star Wars revenue for 10 years after their divorce - he started work on the special editions as soon as it expired.
Just a rumor, though - I have nothing confirming it.
Union strike? In China?
We've all seen what happens when Chinese people rise up against the establishment.
Call me when they get the price per KWh down to below non-renewable sources.
Microsoft isn't forcing me to upgrade - Valve is. I don't have enough memory to play the new games that are coming out. I'll stay on Windows 7 at least until Windows 9. Or maybe I'll switch over to Linux permanently if Valve's Steam for Linux is worthwhile.
4 years back? I'm still gaming on my 6 year old build. The only things I've upgraded are my RAM and video card.
I'm eyeing a new CPU/mobo/RAM combo this winter because 4G of memory just isn't enough anymore. It's a shame - my CPU and the rest of my system are just fine.
Also note that both the New Yorker and the Economist cater to highly educated people.
Fixed that for you.
No, the computer is the cloud - the interface is all you take with you.
The growth is no longer in the PC sector. PC sales have been shrinking fast. In business, growth is everything. Nobody cares about your cash cows - it's the future gains that are what companies are measured by.
I think the idea is that bits are bits, and the voice should all be VOIP over your data connection, and you're charged just for the data which includes the voice.
I've long been thinking that content and delivery need to be separated in the Cable TV industry, and voice and data should be consolidated under the Cellular system as well as POTS.
The cable company or phone company or Google should provide a pipe to our house that we pay maintenance for, and TV channels, websites, VOIP, should all be purchased from separate companies.
If everything is digital, we should be charged strictly for the bits that flow in and out of our house, not separately for different classifications of data.

Yep, it was lying to me as far as I can tell.
Never could figure out how to save my game in the original. I bought it, tried to play a couple of times, but then whenever I needed to save and quit, I could never figure out how to do it, and wound up back at the beginning of the game every time. I gave up after about three hours of gameplay.
