No chance would Nintendo sell, for literally any amount of money.

Then why did you say "Not sure why you think A CEO actually contributes anything"? You're claiming all of them contribute nothing. We're talking about Nintendo and Microsoft, two companies where the CEOs are contributing on a constant basis.

I do know what happened to Sakurai...that doesn't change my statement.

Some CEOs definitely contribute, but the CEO is in Kyoto, not Redmond anyway.

The Redmond office is marketing and sales. I used to work for Microsoft, and visited that office a few times (they had a small Nintendo museum inside) until Microsoft employees were no longer allowed on their property after some childish jerks built an X out of Xbox boxes on their front lawn. Last year I decided to visit Nintendo's actual HQ in Kyoto, and you can quickly see how their culture and Microsoft do not mix. Apple, however, was built around Steve Jobs' love for Kyoto, which makes those two companies a much more perfect fit.

To be fair, their building is practically inside the Microsoft campus.

Virtually all of Nintendo's developers are like that, even Shigeru Miyamoto accepts only a modest salary. Nintendo's culture is very much about having fun, being artists, trying new things, and being allowed to work on projects until they are done - not when it's most profitable to finish. All of their CEOs have been part of this culture since Yamauchi died...and he was your typical old world Japanese CEO, where business was a matter of conquering your enemies rather than just making money.

At that time, controlling shares in Nintendo were owned by the Yamauchi family - Hiroshi Yamauchi was even still the CEO. There is no way that guy would ever sell his family business like that.

What a lot of people don't get is that the Gamecube had the fastest RAM on the market at the time (1T-SRAM) and it clocked its GPU and CPU to be multiples of each other to never miss a clock cycle. It was an amazing piece of hardware.

Yes, but only slightly more powerful at 33% more of a price and with longer load times (let alone sheer size and lack of wireless controllers). The Gamecube is probably one of the most efficient game consoles ever made.

There are wallets out there you can buy that have Tile built in. I have a Tile pro on my keychain that helps when I need to find my keys, which is like, never. However, the concept of what Tile can do is really great but it has needed a first party hardware manufacturer to get the thing off the ground. If people don't have the Tile app, they can't help you find the Tile when they're in range...but if that were a native API, which is what Apple has been doing with all of its hardware for the past couple of years, then you could potentially put Tiles in anything you think might be stolen. I experimented with putting them in my guitar cases at one point, you could probably squeeze one inside the seat post of a bike too.

And as usual, Samsung will miss out on doing anything new or innovative until Apple shows its hand...then the Galaxy SmartTag 2 will launch as fast as possible.

But isn't this then a vulnerability for Kerberos in any form, not just Microsoft's?

Yet the OS and the database have nothing to do with how the hack works. There are more SolarWinds products than Orion, by the way.

Anything of actual security importance is on its own network, disconnected from the Internet.
