      • Lets see...



        Funny thing, it didn't want to show the Morrowind picture from Gamepsy. No problem with Adriana, though. I wonder why. Maybe there's a geek-meter and you can't go beyond a certain limit?

          • I just transferred my first music file to my Xbox hard drive.

            • Wohooo I just read about the specs... awesome thing! This could definately be enough for some time ahead. Not like the original Xbox whose specs didn't look like anything great at all! A 700Mhz CPU based on Intel's PIII,... some stupid Grafikcore...

              Anyway the question remains.. why only 20GB HDD???

              • That's the stock one it'll come with -- the reason? Cost.

                They said it was upgradable.

                Couple strong rumours: http://macdailynews.com/index.php/weblog/comments/5771/

                Apple is working with Sony on the PS3? PS3/iPod/iTunes integration? Wouldn't surprise me at all, a good business move by both. Microsoft does that all on its own, Sony has shown itself inept with the digital music era, and Apple has shown itself inept with mass market electronics. Good combo.

                More importantly: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/613/613541p1.html

                Square/Enix and Microsoft form an alliance?

                • 20 GB should be decent enough size for most people anyway.

                      • A final fantasy exclusive? I personally don't care about japanese rpg's, but that would be a huge deal for the Xbox 360. I'm sceptical, though. Next step would be a Grand Theft Auto exclusive. Now that would give a huge boost to the 360...

                          I can't believe that Asher actually said that. Apple actually makes money from its mass market electronics. The Xbox makes very little. M$ is in trouble I think – the rumblings have been getting louder lately.

                          The Xbox better be a winner for them. In the last couple of years they have been absolutely owned by Google in search and web services, and by Apple in operating systems, Digital music and portable players.

                          I was playing around with Tiger the other day. Windows is a sad, pathetic joke compared to that. Mbucks better hit the ball out of the park with Longhorn or the writing will be on the wall.

                          • Yeah, maybe they'll drop to 90% of the world's computers instead of 95% .

                              Yes, Microsoft is in trouble.

                              You seem to lose perspective on things, Agathon. Which is not surprising, given that you're both studying philosphy and in the la-la land of academia. As a tangent -- this is one reason I feel Philosophers (as in, people majoring in Philosophy at universities today) are unnecessary -- they all seem so disconnected from reality...and a tether to reality is what they need.

                              Apple's Tiger is a niche OS. It's buggy, it breaks applications, it breaks plugins, it does things by "accident" that would get MS fined for billions of dollars (like ignoring user prefs for default browser and making Safari that browser). Apple has also introduced even more visual styles for Aqua and breaks their own Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) liberally for how they're used. The behavior of new applications like Spotlight are utterly baffling and counter-intuitive, and other applications like Mail seem like they got downgraded since the previous release and look like conceptual screenshots for a High School Student's compsci project.

                              Apple can churn out OSes faster than MS because of their small, controlled userbase.

                              They make small OS updates seem more significant thanks to a hideously ignorant userbase, and ones that are enveloped in their famed reality distortion field.

                              OS X Tiger is a minor update. SP2 was a larger product that took much more effort to do. As a result, SP2 computers are more secure than those without.

                              Ironically, Tiger makes some blatantly stupid changes and security issues that make it less secure than those with Panther.

                              But as usual, Apple will keep patching it until it's stable.

                              Doesn't change the fact that they screwed over the third party software developer -- something MS won't do (can't do).

                              Your mindless gloating of how Apple is oh so superior is tiring. It's a tiny company, with tiny userbases, which allow it to do more with worrying about less. If Apple was MS' size, they'd have been broken into pieces by now. But Apple is not MS' size, and never will be MS' size, because their main selling points come from them being a niche market. Once they're mainstream, they're just as "bad" as everyone else. Only that much more expensive.

                              • Everything you say is irrelevant since Windows XP blows goats in comparison to the current version of OS X.

                                Want proper search as opposed to MSN Desktop crapola or some other piece of junk? Sorry...

                                Want proper graphics? Sorry...

                                Want virus and spyware free computing? Sorry...

                                It's painfully obvious that you haven't much new to offer since you started on your "I hate philosophy" crap again.
