I recently purchased a PS3, but it’s clear Sony doesn’t care. They’re happy to wait for people to “need” Blu Ray enough to pay $400.
Need is subjective. Odd plan by Sony.
The last time MS came out with a new operating system (XP) intel acted quickly to standardize on 2000. Why did you think things were going to be differnt this time? Until XP stops being the most common OS why should a major company drop millions on changing. They should be finding out how to make the change smoooth as silk when they do change.
PS3 sales might be slow because the model everyone wants (80gb) is in very short supply and almost impossible to get.
#3 As taught by Nintendo…
1000 articles on Gates and how many on how much Vista sucks.JOHN! if you want Gates to go away tell the world that this is a M$ smokescreen.That clown Ballmer will start acting up again soon to keep the heat off an operating system that is more buggy than McCain.I am starting to think that the whole Yahoo mess was designed to take the heat of Vista.LOOK into it.
#2: Exactly.
Old IT saying: pioneers are the ones with the arrows in their backs. Corporate IT departments switch to a new version of an OS only after it’s become stable. This is true of all operating systems, not just Windows.
Corporations have only recently (last 2 or 3 years) switched from Win2K (or WinNT4 or even Windows 98) to WinXP, so are not likely to switch to Vista until a few more service packs are released and Windows 7 is the new OS.
That smoke gives us great sunsets here in the Midwest.
I’ve got to say John, that in No Agenda episode 36 you berated Adam Curry for repeating himself, and then you go and repeat your story about what it is that credit card companies look out for in detecting card fraud. Now, I’ve heard you tell this story, almost verbatim, in at least four No Agenda’s, not to mention the times you’ve repeated this on TWIT.
Then in Tech5, you did your little Bill Gates impersonation “Oh, maybe I won’t quit” trick two shows in a row!
My point is John is that you do tend to repeat yourself a LOT. Something to bear in mind before criticising others.
Other than that, I like your stuff.
