 Perhaps MS is planning to open up MS Stores, I mean, they have Zune and OS for mobile phones, and operating systems, ect. All they really need is a store front. I'm sure that would go well with the general public... going to a MS shop and stuff.

Pretty sucky of Intel, I think.

My next build is going to be based on an AMD processor, even though I've been using Intel processor's so far. If Intel had played fair to some extent, perhaps AMD would have sold more products allowing them to pump more cash into their R&D, and if not producing a break-through product, at least the competition would have benefitted us user/consumer folk.

I accuse the whole of China of being guilty of Reverse Engineering. When every single manufacturer went to China to save money on the cost of labour (and still sell items at a premium price) they gave the Chinese government and people an open invitation into some serious technology. Now China makes everything, from satellites to baby milk. Anyway, no surprises here. Here today, gone tomorrow. Live life.

If one ISP places a cap, the rest will follow suit. Out here in Bahrain we used to have one ISP a few years ago, with unlimited internet for about USD 110. The government decided that competition was important and opened the telecom market. Now we have like five players on the scene, with the cheapest offering being USD 30 for 2GB at 256 Kbps (unlimited, meaning that after you blow off your 2GB your speed gets throttled down to 128 for the remainder of the month). Other offerings are like 6GB at 2 Mbps for 50 USD, throttled down to 256, the highest we have is like 8 Mbps for 34 GB at like USD 300 per month. So as you can see, we've come a very long way......progress! You can't stop it! Of course all our ISP's give the same excuse, "we're an island and it costs us a lot to keep the country connected etc..." Oh, yeah, and to maintain your speed after your limit, each extra gigabyte will cost you somewhere between USD 18 and 30, depending on who your provider is. And by all means I personally find these prices very high, and when you compare it to the average salary, they become even more ludicrous. Can anyone spell R-I-P-O-F-F ?

I just hope they make it for the PC and then port it over to the consoles and not the other way around.
