That one's more easily written off by the idea that as consumer products there would have been countless similar or even identical droids.

I can see why "Canola" is more marketable.

What the hell is a "rapeseed?"

These are probably just domestic numbers.

For once Beckham is being lauded as amazing for not catching something.

Yep, willfully obtuse and disingenuous. Right on cue.

Man, if I had a nickel for every time I had to hear about some idiot yelling and screaming about not being able to return their UMD game that they had intentionally disassembled not realizing that the plastic case is part of the game....well, I'd have a fair number of nickels.

I don't understand the question.

What's the point of showing clothes no one is every supposed to wear?

Me too, I assume anyone who makes comments about how they're not funny is an asshole that's entirely dead inside.

Come on, man. If Newton's story about the Syrian prince and his sheepdog didn't do it, you're dead inside.

When you realize you wasted 4 minutes of your life, and the rest of us laugh at you for the lost time you'll never get back.

Where was the personal attack? There's no such thing as original ideas.

No, you claimed that they won't ship the product that they've already shown off to the public, then compared it to the SOFTWARE promises made pre-Kinect release.

The fact remains, we will not get a consumer version of this product that releases with this functionality. That was my point. What we saw in the demo will not make it to consumer hands any time in the near future.

Not by hobbyists

Neither are you, if you're claiming the Kinect came anywhere close to living up to the hype. It's been widely panned as a piece of garbage. Because it's a piece of garbage.

Whatever it was they were playing in Iain M. Banks's Player of Games.

The only other product you've mentioned is the Kinect, a piece of hardware which has very much lived up to the hype.

How does that have anything to do with the viability of the tech?
