  1. Comment - Microsoft Postpones 'Halo' Movie

    (Nov 1, 2006 - 6:38 PM)

    This is not old news. A week ago, the studios that were producing announced that they were no longer backing up the movie.
    In today's news MS announced that the project is postponed for the time being. See the difference?

  2. Comment - Microsoft: Beating iPod Will Take Years

    (Jul 27, 2006 - 5:33 PM)

    My words exactly....However, the videogame battle is not over. Even after about 5 years, Playstation is still the leading game console. Xbox certainly got some market share but it is not the leading console. I am not a fanboy, yet I can predict as well as any videogame industry follower that there is a high probability for PS3 to outsell Xbox360.
    In another words, Zune can capture some of the market share from iPod but it will be an improbable feat for it to lead the mp3 market.

  3. Comment - eBay Says 'No' to Google Checkout

    I could be wrong here...But isn't it upto the seller what service to use? It is easier for a seller to use Paypal because of its integration with eBay and quick fund transfer. Still, a seller is free to accept other methods of payment - personal check, MO, etc. I haven't used Google Checkout but as it becomes more popular, sellers may switch to save some $ (although they will lose some services offered by ebay such as linking the auction to Paypal etc - unless Google creates a portal to transfer such info from ebay).
    As long as ebay is NOT forcing the sellers to use paypal (only), it is not being anti-competitive.

  4. Comment - Netflix Wants Blockbuster Online Shut

    True, but netflix penalizes the "frequent renters" by not shipping the movies in their queue right away. It does the same thing with new releases - making the renter wait few days (weeks) before shipping the movie.

  5. Comment - Microsoft: No Vista Code Changes

    Well said..Most users that put all this s*** on Microsoft should try using Linux for a few days. I am not a MS fanboy, and I use Linux at work everyday. But most people that write stuff against MS have no clue about the complications (not bugs) in Linux.
