Well, considering that the movie has a 2-hout length (maybe 4, if you watch it 2 times) and CoD has a 8 hour single player game length, which means you should be entertained for 4x more time, a 3x price increase sounds fair. And this is not considering that there is a multiplayer element which...
So am I, although I'm 34. but you know what, more and more I suggest people get notebooks or pcs from OEMs, instead of suggesting assembling them (the exception when it is a gaming or high powered PC). For non-enthusiasts, OEM, with their warranties and services are a much better option for them.
They do, but considering that between countries in the EU you can move freely and that many countries do have immigration progams for former colonies citizens, they are quite open.
IIRC, the Surface Pro has been sold out since its launch, which means that they are probably having manufacturing issues and would be able to sell more if they were available.
Fingerprint biometrics and authentication is the easiest to fool biometrics. There are much harder ones, like vein matching and retinal scan that are much more difficult to fool and require the person there to do the authentication, as they require blood flow to autheticate.
But most...
There is a case study in Data Mining regarding how using data mining technics Walmart was able to find a patern that allowed them to move beer six-packs near diapers and had a 30% improvement on sales. All because they found out a pattern where men buying diapers also bought beer.
Dell made the mistake of telling everyone in advance he would do this. He should had kept it as a secret up until closer to the buyout, so ill-intende opportunists like this guy wouldn't be able to do stuff like this.
Odd, my 60-year-old mother-in-law is in her first pc (and it is not touchscreen) and asked me to install Windows 8 for her. So far (and it has been 2 weeks) she hasn't called me with a problem or difficulty in using it (of course, I gave her a very brief explanation on how to use the Charms bar...
Not sure you know what Free market capitalism is. There is no regulation, so there is no getting caught and fined. This only happens if there is some form of regulation, to prevent anti-competitive initiatives.
Is hosting a website free? How much do you pay for the bandwidth and storage to sell software online? Also, you'll have to provide a secure payment system for your customers, secure data storing and so on.
All this adds up to the cost. Would setting up and maintaining this be cheaper than...
This. For Dell to go private, they need money they don't have, so they get investors to buy part of the company. Moving to only a few stakeholders, they can de-list themselves from SEC. If MS wanted to become a PC maker, they would have done this before.
Most people don't have the skills nor the desire that comes with assembling an htpc, installing OS and softwares to play games. Many just want to be able to plug in a device, put in a game disc and play the game.
Incredible. When you don't have a good reasoning to support your ideas, just throw in a child molesting accusation so people will support it.
I wonder where our current civilization is headed. The social forecast so far looks grim.
Suggesting to sell the Xbox division to Sony was what you thought was crazy? I think the possibility to selling it to Barnes and Noble much more crazier. Not to mention mentioning that Apple Cloud Services would be dominant while MS disappear (Apple Cloud currently runs on MS cloud as IaaS).
Actually, in Brazil as well. Universities own patents to things that are researched in them. If I recall correctly, the University, the crew and the head of the lab hold equal parts of the patents.
So, after getting its nano-SIM card to be the next SIM standard, earlier this year, they have this patent granted. What's next? Sue all phone manufacturers to prevent them from building phones?
So, are we to expect the US will arrest him and surrender him to Belize? (He is not an American citizen anymore).
The irony is that those who claimed that Assange should be extradicted to Sweden will be the first to defend that McAfee should not be extradicted to Belize.
There is a simple solution out there. Take employees and fans of both companies, provide them with pikes, axes, swords and spears and let them face each other on open field. Also, sell the rights to the combat transmission and profit.
Also, if robots start making our food, it'll be easier for them to take over the world. They can hold the food and makes us die from hunger or poison us.
Usually, less skilled people are the majority of the population. If they are put in a situation of despair they'll resort to violence and you'll probably be watching civil war take place.
