Comment Re:Why must they compete with EVERYONE? (Score 1) 408
Every modern hi-tech business has a team of people who do nothing but read technical articles and news to see what everyone else is doing so they can target them as a potential competetive prospect. It's called a "marketing team". For a number of years I was employed in a company of just ~120 employees, compared to microsoft what, tens of thousands, and it had a quarter of people in just marketing and research, as opposed to only 5 in Research and Development.
Offtopic, yet why would one get an XP system for gaming, a few hundred bucks for the box itself + ~200 for the OS? Might as well keep the Mac and use a console for gaming, be it PS2 or Xbox or other. Just curious?

Journal Journal: Body Hacking and Consumerism
A brief update on the body hacking!
For the past month I've been off the coffee due to a cold / flu which knackered my throat. Today I'm back on the coffee and wow does it taste good. I'm toying with the idea of enforcing a coffeeless month every now and then to give me days like today - I'm on my third cafetierre at the office following an espresso breakfast at home.

Atkins diet - popular among nerdy boys - 'it's like hacking your body' says one sitting 5 feet from me.
Blood Sugar Powered Laptops - Like a dialisis machine, only it steals energy for your laptop instead of cleaning your blood so you dont need to piss.
Farting - kinda good fun. Pissing - also kinda good fun in the right circumstances. Shitting - NEVER any fun, especially after a night on the guinness and curry.
