Comment Re:Next up: tiered pricing (Score 1) 314

This is exactly why the Starz deal fell through. Starz was demanding a tiered upgrade for Netflix customers to access Starz content. It was their way of maintaining a premium image. Netflex said they refused to do that. I would never pay extra for a "higher tier" on Netflix so I'm ok with them taking that money and using it for different content that would be equally available to all subscribers.

The fashion industry if full of innovation? Dud they sell people nothing but fluff. Fashion is when someone convinces you that something is beautiful when it really isn't. It is a con because anything that is beautiful is always beautiful.

Yea fashion makes a boat load of money on planned obsolescence and vanity. I am now waiting for someone to show me some great innovation from the fashion industry that isn't patented. BTW new types of fabrics like microfiber and gore-tex are patented.

Absolutely right! Boogie in those bell bottoms with pride!

Infinity Ward Fights Against Modern Warfare 2 Cheaters 203

Faithbleed writes "IW's Robert Bowling reports on his twitter account that Infinity Ward is giving 2,500 Modern Warfare 2 cheaters the boot. The news comes as the war between IW and MW2's fans rages over the decision to go with IWnet hosting instead of dedicated servers. Unhappy players were quick to come up with hacks that would allow their own servers and various other changes." Despite the dedicated-server complaints, Modern Warfare 2 has sold ridiculously well.

Apparently if you activate Windows on 4 different motherboards with 3 different CPUs, 4 different types of memory, 3 different GPUs, 6 different HDD setups, from 3 different IPs/ISPs, they find it suspicious and refuse to give you a new key.

... and tried to reactivate again on a new board with a new CPU + GPU + RAM + more HDDs.

Microsoft found it suspicious - too suspicious - and yet I'm in the right, because my XP key was only in use on a single machine.

Ummm.... If you've removed every single origional component and replaced them with new components how is that the same computer?
