ive read they are already planning on using azure to give computing power to games (cloud driven ai, distrubuted real time rendering... that sort of thing).
but they want to rule the living room. you need a box to rule the living room.
i think the concept of a gaming console still stands...
the only problem with that is that microsoft has shifted and wants to be a hardware company now. i think they should be. yes, like any other company, they have their problems, but i think they make really good hardware.
reports are saying they are possibly working on what youre talking...
the old owner was the biggest problem
the clippers actually did really really well last season and theyve done really really well in previous seasons. but in the past, after a good season the owner would split up, trade off, and sell really good players because he was crazy.
the clippers...
what kills me is im in anaheim, on one of 2, straight FTTP rollouts they have on teh uverse network and the fastest i can get is 18mb/s
they have nothing but excuses for me about getting more speed. The last one was "if we turn it op, it could fry the fiber box"

"CT News reports that Mears was arrested by Environmental Conservation Police on May 12 and charged with third degree assault and second-degree breach of peace."
whoops forgot to add that his publishers said their biggest barrier was that there was not a really good debugger for developer on Linux. so gabe threw some of his developers on fixing that problem based on commitments from his publishing partners. this ones kind of a huge deal. I means valve...
you guys really need to watch gabe giving this keynote last week. it will answer a lot of questions and clear up a lot of misconceptions im reading in this thread.

a few i'll clear up.
hes been working with his aaa publishers that are already...

i use rt all the time and i dig it. much happier than i was with an ipad.
built all of my powerpoint presentations for my auto sponsorships with it in office. which netted me a free 750 dollar magnaflow catback exhaust and a 400 dollar cold air intake.
windows RT IS A SEPARATE PRODUCT
seriously, i mean seriously. i dont understand whats happened to the userbase here at hard forums at all.
man back in the 90's. it was the cutting edge user base. shade tree computer scientists. guys with the mentality of possibly becoming WOZ 2.0...
those are the most unsightly graphs ive ever seen in my life.
theres red, light red, dark red, slightly darker red.
makes me feel like im effing color blind
This article gives some good insight as to why Scott was shown the door.
he screwed up, more than once. if you screw up big at your job. yeah, you might get fired.
i see a lot of Frank Lloyd Wright influences in the design and layout. a style im really into (my favorite architect). Steve was quite a fan of Frank's work.
Frank's work was also quite controversial in its time. He always insisted on using the landscape in ways nobody thought of. But...
i read that he was on the phone with china about the iphone 5 on the day of his death.
heres the thing about cook though. hes a supply chain expert.
theres an interesting article about the cost of wafers for the a5x vs the a6. also, the a6 is the first apple designed cpu core as well...
oh look everyone. steve hates all things apple and anything even remotely associated with being a hacker. arent we all shocked?
in other news, that is one dead horse
i should revise my last statement a bit as i ended up taking the asus back after almost 2 weeks with it.
it was a nice tablet, really nice. but even with jelly bean, after you installed a bunch of apps, things still really started to slow down. it got to the point where the input lag became...
actually, the old xbox 1 games were easily portable because the old xbox ran on an x86 processor and codebase, whereas the 360 runs on a powerpc processor and codebase. porting is a lot of work. id highly doubt many of the libraries those titles rely on even exist in directx on x86
i picked up a tf700 a few days ago.
at first i was a bit annoyed by the input lag. but todays jb update makes that completely a thing of the past. this thing is a proper netbook hell, even laptop replacement.
right now im typing this with a keyboard plugged into usb, didnt need to...
exactly.
the whole reason microsoft is making the first rt tablet is because most of their partners have been making arm tablets for a few years now, and pretty unsuccessfully at that. so microsoft decided to show them how to do and arm tablet "right".
they know everyone knows how to...
warcraft was originally supposed to be a warhammer game. but there were issues obtaining the rights from games workshop. so they adjusted the art assets enough not to get sued, and went with it.

although i like windows 8.
i hope it is a failure. a failure so big that microsoft goes belly up. then no more windows. everyone will have to buy macs. apple will then do what they always do. "gaming? on a mac? lol"
just so i can watch all the haters go "fuck, we should have just...
