I wonder how reflection will effect this, such as mirrors or windows.

hmm

Just another toy for the kids, it's not a large version of iphone, it's a large version of the itouch. I was looking forward to this but now that there is nothing for wordprocessing or stylus, what is the point.

it would have been nice to do up a doc, grab the stylus, sign your name, then send it out.

apple really needs to make these big toys corporate friendly.

Children

Now now children...lol Can't believe this guy is making an issue out of a name. hell every os has em. OSX, winblow, and linux (all distros)

Wasn't winblows code name once longhorn. like the rooster on loony toons? People should have know better than to trust a os that was codenamed after a darn loony toon.

Anyway, I hope Ubuntu fixes it's graphical issue. i am still partial to hardy haron myself.

Not just XBOX

I hate xbox but it's normal. it even happens with PS. but yeah if you tilt the machine while it's got a disk in it spinning, that's your fault not xbox's but there are articles out there that state that if you have your xbox or ps on it's side then chances are the disks will scratch. Most times it's due to being unleveled and when you spin somthing on an angle it's going to wobble all over the place. so anyone who buys the upright stands or just places these machines on their sides. well that's a risk you are going to have to take.

STOP SUING FOR STUPID ISSUES

IF YOUR MACHINE EXPERIENCES SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION AND BURNS DOWN YOUR GAME ROOM WHERE EVER IT MAY BE I AM SURE YOUR HOUSE WILL GO WITH IT, THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE A GOOD FIGHT ON YOUR SIDE. BUT A DISC? COME ON.

Nintendo whacked with $5m Wii strap lawsuit

andrew wavey
Stop

People will do anything

Wow, americans will sue for just about anything these days. If you choose to buy games that cause you to swing the wiimote then you risk slipping it one time or another. and if you are swing that thing so hard that it would cause the strap to break, then maybe you should rethink your gaming habits. You don't see baseball players suing bat companies for bats that go flying out of there hands when they swing, why should this be any different.

Nintendo should just put out an at your own risk terms of use and have people accept it on there machine to play it. if they choose not to the wii should restrict certain games until it's accepted. also they need something stating that no liability will be held against them if such an accident occurs. Come on people, stop buying shit if you think it's faulty. Give the gaming companies a break.

Go play kick the can

MS to ban freedom of speech?

andrew wavey
Jobs Halo

Seriously?

How fucked up does a company have to be to try and patent something like that. And for a government to allow a company to rule out freedom of speech over their devises? what's next, M$ makes a phone and two people are having a heated conversation over it and for the most part all they will hear is beep beep beep you beep coward. I would rather be back in the stone age if this is what technology is coming to.

So what's the problem?

So what if they advertise their product. isn't that what firefox does on it's site, opera on it's and IE on M$. really what does it matter. a new browser is coming. hopefully better than the rest. so far it's a pretty good browser. oh and get this, it's still in it's first beta stage. FF is in past it's release and still has rendering issue. EI, well geez. I am not even going to get started on that one. As far as 28 words go. Who cares how many words their are. what laws say they can't change that. It's web page for information. that is what they offered. INFO ON THE NEW PRODUCT. oh and it's free!!!! Stop whining about something so trivial

US PS3 sales fell 45% in July

PS3 vs Wii vs XBOX

Let see, my comments on this. XBOX, a PC based company which supports more shooter games than most. go figure. You don't have to be a genius to point a gun. so that don't say much for the x-box gamers. Wii. well there are by far more kids than adults. and they are cheaper. games for the wii are more geared towards children. PS3. Well damn that there is one hell of a machine. you need the cash which you would have to have brains to get a decent job that won't set you and your family back. and you have to have more brains than a x-box gamer who like to shoot things so yeah that might be the reason for the slump. regardless of the sales. PS3 Hands down take it all. by the way, i bought a wii for my kid long after I purchased a PS3. my kid hates the wii. don't blame him. he much to smart for that. xbox. hell he wouldn't even consider it cause it probably makes him feel that he has to dumb himself down a little.
