What does this mean for me? What if I want mine replaced and my manufacturer refuses, as many others might who have 8xxxx and 9xxx cards that is affected. A litte bit late on repairing such an error...i can't believe it took this long to fix actully. The 8600m has been out for how long now? Minimum of a year i'm sure, probably more. This definately hurt their reputation.

Sounds productive, however...what about Offline mode? If the internet goes out (or you're not in the midst of a wireless signal for us laptop users), and you play a single player game like Half Life for example...will it check for the new save files, and upload them? Or will offline mode be unavailable?

They do, if you have a pirated version, you are UNABLE to use the online functions, they can't do it any other way, otherwise you'd require an internet connection to play the games single player. Unfair to those who play single player when the internet is under maintenance or while downloading music, movies or updates.

True. They should know this, I as a person who has repaired many computers, have seen the most basic of problems that people don't know how to fix, be it they have a solution fo two or three right clicks, or the running of a program to the install of new/broken hardware drivers/software. They needed to make sure of all the little things like that before marketing.

Firstly, WHOO SOX! Secondly, i don't see the point of bashing Microsoft...it's like Steve wants Gates to do what we're all thinking he should do, retaliate. Mac is the bully of the computer world. Thinks it's hot shit in a champagne glass, but really, it's nothing more than the disliked bastard child who basically robs you of your lunch money (in this case, money for apps or perhaps even lunch for a few weeks given the 3k price tag in comparison to pc tags that are a quarter of the price) and then this child beats you and your friends up verbally with little result, all in a desperate cry for attention. PC is the moderately intelligent kid, whom people like, and get along with, and who treats everyone with respect, and takes a lot of pushing to get agitated.

Photoshop has trials of the Creative Suite Editions...constantly re-insatlling (including removing the registry) is legal.

AGreed with you fellow canadian. The bastards always leave us out of the circle, however..the prizes weren't that great anyway. 5500 tickets (approximately 5000 searches) for an Xbox 360 controller.

An add on to the article, Lindsay Lohan is icky, lol.
