you need work on your logic. congratulations on entirely missing the point of my post: A and B are not mutually exclusive.

remember: microsoft is a software company, and Windows is software.

in addition to everything people have said above, PCs have much greater backwards compatibility as well. If you wanted to keep playing your PS1/2 games, you'd need to keep your PS2 in working condition, since Sony decided to remove backwards compatibility with the PS3.

i'd prefer a gynoid that stays far away from the uncanny valley and remain a sex toy. nice interactive sex toy, but still a sex toy.

wow, 2.5 months in and we've found the cover model for the 2013 batshit babes calendar.

like it or not, you have to appreciate the fact that they're trying. Do you really just want more Prii, Volts, and Leafs? They're trying to bring in new vehicles when all the other major manufacturers are shuffling their feet and making safe bets. Every time i see a concept car that has suicide doors, I roll my…

yeah, be honest: the extra amount of power the LCD sucks up over, say, a 100 mile trip will probably amount to about 10 feet of extra range.

true, but the funny thing is that they use the hybrid system because there are no ICE/clutches that can handle the torque, not so much for the fuel economy (although i'm sure that's a side benefit as well).

Electric motors are weaker than ICEs, and/or they only have purpose for eco-hippie satisfaction.

well, steve, this is what happens when you start a war... your opponents might actually fight back. sheesh.

brain function. brain death is medically equivalent to death in most places. can't feel pain or have a personality without a working nervous system, anyway.

hey, the vampire fangs are gone!

they pretty much have to make it automatic, given the sheer volume of it. DCMA is a "guilty until proven innocent" law that allows corporations to shut down others and forces Google to act this way. If they leave it up and take time to manually investigate it, it costs them in 2 ways: manpower to do the…

for those who have been following technology more than cars, us geeks saw this happening last decade when the DCMA was passed. they've done this before... plenty of times. the only reason this was news was that one large corporation did it to another, instead of a big guy shutting down little guys.

probably mistook gas for the brake, and then proceeded to blame "unintended acceleration" and wonder why the engine kept on revving up despite slamming on the brakes so hard!

time to swap out the engine in my supra.

i fundamentally disagree. your idea is rooted roughly in the same idea of creationism; that is, mankind was made in one way and must stay rooted to that spot. if good things (like saving lives, reducing pain, increasing happiness) can be done but extends outside the circle of this nebulous definition of "humanity"…

i thought sony decided to put theirs in the lenses and not the body... makes lenses more expensive. one of the reasons i'm iffy on jumping on a NEX 5N, despite it being mighty sexy otherwise.

they passed the law in the 70's, and then supreme court ended it in the 80's, so english is allowed today. still, it's not like they didn't try.

they forgot the easiest method: Don't use DRM. period. that's it!
