Amazon is basically the Walmart of the web but they act like they're somehow more. I never understood why they can't make profit and forget about their more zanier ideas.

Should've made a PC version if its just the same game with better graphics. At least we might see real 1080p/60fps.

AFAIK, no one except for the Russians actually has a usable manned spacecraft at the moment. And, AFAIK, the Russians are charging a very pretty penny for access (around $70 million per person vs $20 million for Spacex). While Dragon V2 is still under development, it would be pretty hard for...

It actually looks pretty cool in person. I actually see this being useful for really large TVs or if you sit really close to the TV. Of course, your mileage may vary.

Dude, Spacex is doing things at a way lower cost than the competition and saving the taxpayers a lot of money. You should read up about his fight with ULA for more info. Wow, you're just admitting you don't care at all about the specifics at all and basically went straight for the attack...

You speak as if sending a man into space was easy. You have a very broken definition of success. If you'd just 'fessed up that you screwed up with the "snakeoil salesman" bit this wouldn't have happened. Seriously, I have no idea why you insist that I didn't understood your posts. Looking...

Getting rich long after you've achieved all your long term goals, including manned space missions at the lowest cost in the industry... By god that's must be pure evil!:eek::rolleyes: But you never found the devil in the details. You just blurted out the words "snakeoil salesman" and haven't...

Spacex has not IPOed and is not planning to do so for a while too come. It fundamentally how companies fund themselves and all investors get a share of the profits in the form of shares. I'm serious questioning your intelligence at this point. Sorry, but you're really seem to be incredibly...

That's only partially true. If a CEO is paid in stock, any drop in the stock price will also mean a loss of wages. Doubly so if the CEO is an active investor with his own money where he could actually end up losing money. Furthermore, this is a startup company and the stock could go to zero, so...

Musk does not "siphon" money from his investors. In fact he's paid a salary of $1 and is a major investor himself. I apologize if I didn't understand you, but there's literally nothing in that post that made sense.

But then you're even more ridiculous. You mean to say anyone who uses investor money is a snakeoil salesman? That's would be literally every public company in history.

By that reasoning any company that uses tax credits or incentives, or bids for any government or military contract is a "snakeoil salesman." That would one truly gigantic list of companies. Practically every aerospace company falls under that category.

Sony has been described as a life insurance company with a money losing electronics division. It seems to get more true every year.

I perosonally would wait until Mantle is actually mature and widely supported before making any purchasing decisions.

A Corsair K70 is what I use. It's hard to go wrong with that.
