But if you take the other browsers (who all attempt to comply with a common "standard") as one browser they make up the majority of users. So you can write for the firefox/opera/chrome standard or you can write for IE standard. Also I'm pretty sure that IE lost the standard awhile ago.

The whole massive multi-year project thing doesn't float since they are removing that stuff in just about six months.

Honestly the Chromecast still seems a little limited to me. I still prefer the PS3 Netflix app, as I find controlling Netflix via my phone as more of a hassle than a boon. But it does solve one problem for me very, very well. Every now and then our friends will get together and share cool youtube videos we've found.…

I think there's a lot of reasons why Microsoft didn't or wouldn't see it coming. Even after Adam. For one thing, it's a massive, multi-year project that was set to debut in a month or so. It's a literal juggernaut at that point with hundreds of millions invested into it. And always online was one of the core features.

Stories like this honestly make me terrified. When something like this happens, I feel like I suddenly can't relate to the people around me. I'm all on board with calling out people being a dick when I see it, but far too often it feels like I'm surrounded by a pack of hungry jackals. How quickly people descend into a…

I think, at least right now, that the Kinect offers a bunch of seemingly small quality of life improvements. When you point to any one thing, it does not seem worth $100. And just based on people's priorities, not all features will be relevant to any given user. This makes it a hard sell, at least to someone who has…

Definitely. I don't think Nintendo is liable and I personally don't feel like Nintendo should've taken such drastic action. More people just need to understand that sometimes shit happens. Unfortunately we live in a world that operates almost entirely on reactions. Jumping from one "outrage" to the next in a desperate…

Actually they are not. In cases where it can be considered a typo (rather than an outright bait and switch) they're off the hook. Many stores however honor these things because customer goodwill is important to them and throwing someone a nice discount every now and then helps this.

I mean, it's pretty cool since it came with the console. But if it was sold separately, I still wouldn't value it at $100. Just not enough there.

Maybe all his friends are getting the PS4 and being able to play with his friends is more important to him? There are lots of reasons to go with either console and it's probably a good idea to not make your decision based solely on the launch title, given that you keep the thing for ~6 years.

Ok, I don't drink and most of the parties I go to consist of watching movies or playing board games, but even I think this is funny. If someone showed up to my party with a Llama I'd be laughing my ass off.

I sort of agree with you, but at the same time I can see how something like this could happen to a "good parent" as well. More and more 3DS games require online interaction and despite your best efforts, many kids are probably capable of getting on the internet and trading friend codes online. From there, all it takes…

It doesn't really surprise me I suppose. I've never interacted with any, but I do hear stories all the time about how entitled male otaku seem to get.

No, they've figured out how to duplicate the garbage bits too. I managed to create a "legit" hidden ability espeon in Pokegen. I don't play competitively or anything, just wanted to have an espeon at the beginning of my game and found the challenge of generating a legitimate pokemon fun. According to pokecheck.org I…

I still think the best way for MS to move forward is to make the Xbox One the generation where you don't want physical games any more. They should be trying to get everyone buying digital as much as possible. Then, in 5-8 years when the next Xbox comes out, (most) people will be begging for MS to "drop outdated…

Well, it's kind of comparing apples to oranges, but I personally am glad Steam can stay offline for much longer. I just put it in offline mode before I go on a trip and I don't have to worry about finding a wifi connection for my laptop. Did this on a two week trip I made a few years ago. Worked flawlessly. I don't…

At this point it'd be nice if they just made a spinoff zombie game. I'd buy that in heartbeat.

Honestly only 100 hours on WoW over the course of 6 years seems like an incredibly low amount. Hopefully you weren't subbed that entire time. If you were you spent roughly $1080 or $10.80/hour. Worst value ever.

Serious question: Are there really that many guys that are bothered by this? I don't know many other people who watch anime, so I can't get a feel for the general reaction to this show. Personally it doesn't bother me. I'm in the "more fanservice for everyone" camp. Sexy times for everyone!

True. There's also like 40 new anime every season. Which is kinda ridiculous when you think about it.
