Steamboxes are just going to be small form factor PC's. Potentially proprietary form factors. Regardless, a PC with SteamOS and a steam machine will have the same exact functionality.

Why does everyone keep saying "riding steam's coattails"? This is exactly what Valve wants. If they wanted to be the only one releasing steam machines, the OS wouldn't be made available for free. Did you also get mad when Dell and HP made laptops with Windows on them?

I think Bastion pushed it over the line. SuperGiant is a brand name now. I know I'll be keeping an eye on all their releases. Indie doesn't really mean independently published anymore.
Exactly, construction quality is definitely a difference. But very possibly the only one :)
Have you seen some of the recent tweets she's been getting? Holy shit, I might make a twitter just to give some support amidst that shit.
Haha! Awesome. I tried to be a good employee. If someone asked me to provide a solution, I showed them what we had available. If they asked me if there was another outlet that would be cheaper or suit them better, I suggested alternatives(competitors). Nevertheless, I had the highest customer ratings and sales for the…
I used to be in the "Geek Squad" (please don't crucify me, lifehackers!). There was a particular $200+ diamond-dust-coated gold-plated HDMI cable that we could get for like 20. But for every one of the guys like myself that lol'd at the existence of such a piece of work, there were employees (management included) that…
Did you fund it? I have the prototype on my computer right now. It was made downloadable quite some time ago. It can be played with a mouse and keyboard.
Only with a resounding "They're heeeeeeerrrrreeeeee"
Did you watch the video? Without getting into specific models, the differences between i5's and i7's can range from core count, to core speed, to cache size, and hyperthreading. I like to find the models on wikipedia, they usually have easily accessible charts showing you the differences between models in a single…
It is kind of a bummer. But really, the power consumption and heat shouldn't be to noticeable over if the option was disabled. Unless you're constantly maxing your cpu. Then, well, it's the worst it's going to get at least!
Until then, you and I can hang from the rafters and scream "You'll see... YOU'LL ALL SEE!"
Particularly with FF and Chrome doing their whole sandbox environment thing, there's times where I'm up to or even over a gig of RAM usage in my browsers.
But realistically, if you look at the old Pentium 4's, and you watch the difference in performance in 2013 between a hyperthreaded and non-hyperthreaded SKU, the hyperthreaded CPU shreds the non. Everyone at the time of release said HT was a waste of money/electricity/heat, but now, nearly everything is optimized to…
Technically it's a space-STATION. Is MIR a ship? Nope, it's the MIR space station.
I love that the Independence Day ship looks like it was a 100x20 res picture that the author blew up and who-gives-a-f**k'd
