I don't own a console, but based on everything I keep reading, I'd say more people claim MS has dropped the ball with the latest Xbox than those who don't.

I'm not big into gaming these days, but I can totally agree with that.

I haven't been into gaming for a decade (at least), but I still make an exception every couple of years when a new GTA installment comes out for the PC (I've put together brand new machines for it and it alone) 
I'm still not getting anybody's console though. Though if I had to pick one, I'd pick the Xbox only because I hate Sony with a passion. So it's not exactly something MS should be proud of.

I thought so too, and yet Nintendo announced this, NES Classic Edition[^] . I must have this. It must be done.

Nice.
Doesn't that say a lot though that the most desirable gaming console is one that's what, 30+ years old?
Heck I'd buy a brand new Commodore 64 if I could.
[Edit]
Had to laugh at the trailer:
"Revisit retro gaming's greatest icons in HD"
Having every game pixel blown up 10x doesn't "make it HD". 
Still - at $60, including 30 games, it's a no-brainer. Never had a NES, but I just might get one.

True that man. Same goes for movies right now too. Just remaking older stuff that had a story.

Bringing IP cameras into a discussion about computer hacking is pretty pointless, too.

Point is that it's relevant, whether or not anyone thinks so.
As Jeremy said, the xbox is likely to have a fanbase that would tend toward buying ms hardware, primarily because of the xbox integration in w8 and winio.
Me, I just want hardware that works and isn't overpriced. The manufacturer and the OS are meaningless, to me, as long as I can do my work (which I see as being kinda the point of having a computer).

No, but they might because they foolishly believe that there's a better than 40% chance that ms hardware will still work, after the next windows update.

Indeed it is 
But this[^] is funny and cute both together.
I think i have shared this link earlier before.

Yeah, thats a well known classic on all the vid clips TV shows.
|
|
|
|
|
...which part? Or did you not post the correct link.
|

Sorry, yeah, this is the link I meant for you to look at: [^]

I'm such a nice guy, I'm not going to make any sort of conclusion about you merely based on things you link to.

Oh come on, I am only pulling your leg.

It goes both ways.

Nice! And here's some Gangstagrass[^] .

That sounds almost like serious music!

Apple are demo'ing the new Macbook Pro with the Touch Bar. Lots of demos of touching the OLED bar to control functionality in applications. The current one is a DJ doing his thing.
Except it seems blindingly obvious that everything he's doing would be way easier and more fun if the entire bloody screen was touch.
I get that uses can push down on the bar harder than you can on a screen, but...surely...
cheers
