1. Yes, the IRONY is something else.

:D

[Deja Q]

2. ROTFLMAOR!!!!!!!!!!

The other "R" is for "ROYALLY".

This is an embarrassment to crapposoft.

Obviously they're having troubles with their product. (what else is new?)

G5s... sad.

[Demit]

3. I prefer the drycleaning myself. Mmmmmm!

[DIKB]

4. That is just hilarious.

"Our next gen game system can't run it"

"Our current home OS can't run it"

"Our professional OS can't run it"

They're getting their butts kicked across the board. Sony and Apple must be laughing their asses off.

5. What kind of power does this thing need?

It states that Micro$oft had to turned down the FSAA because the G5 only ran the GF 6800 or X800 XT. My gawd! Those things are super powerful cards. I have two 6800 running in SLI and I have no problem running anything! What the heck does the X360 need? :shrug:

[Deja Q]

8. Here's what the heck the X360 needs?

Efficient programmers. Not the typical macrosloppy microsoft folks who probably write bloated code aso ne of their anti-piracy or anti-emulating procedures.

6. ooops. Did they think no one would notice - in a crowd of computer Geeks?

7. MS always needs Apple to bail them out

Can't even name their operating system w/o cribbing from Apple.

[Deja Q]

9. And Apple cribbed from Xerox.

This point is sad; stealing rom a thief. It's all corporate america's game anyway. Okay for them, not okay for the rest of us.

10. Dude, apple paid xerox -- get your facts straight. . . .

Apple paid

Jobs was so hot on the concepts of UI, and the living Demos he say, that he, later, negotiated a deal with Xerox. He gave Xerox a large sum of stock in Apple (worth Millions) if he could come back, and bring some programmers -- to inspire them more on the concepts of GUI. This was like a one-day tour. This was agreed to by Xerox, and so by no stretch of the imagination could this be called "ripping-off".

PARC was a research center -- meant to inspire development. But they did not really develop products (in the commercial sense), they developed ideas. Saying that Apple learning some of the base concepts and then applying them was "ripping-off" is like saying that Air-Bags are ripping off Newton -- because Air Bags work because they adhere to some of the laws of physics first expressed by Sir Isaac. A silly silly argument. Knowledge builds on knowledge. Xerox didn't see Apple as competition, that is why they let them in -- but they charged Apple, since Xerox believed that their research had value.

11. Now, in all seriousness, might I say something?
