1. Comment - Nintendo looks to address game piracy issues worldwide

   (Feb 14, 2008 - 4:18 PM)

   Nintendo can't keep the shelves full of Wii - so that loss number must just be either games or games+DS sales, since they wouldn't be able to provide a Wii for the country any way...

2. Comment - Microsoft: 'We misjudged demand' for Xbox 360

   (Feb 14, 2008 - 4:15 PM)

   Microsoft just wants to be like Nintendo with demand for its Xbox360. The numbers will likely slump back to normal pretty soon...

3. Comment - Firefox share up again in Europe

   (Jan 31, 2008 - 9:38 AM)

   I know of people that still use Netscape 4.7. So not likely any error in that. Some people are just stuck to using old stuff.
   
   Also, don't forget that until recently there was still a version of Netscape being published. I believe the last was version 9. So there are others out there.
   
   Additionally, it's still pretty much the core of AOL's software (last I was aware, but that has probably changed or will be if it hasn't already).

4. Comment - Western Digital offers yet another pocket-sized HDD

   (Jan 31, 2008 - 9:33 AM)

   I've got a couple of these. I got the 80 GB version a few years back (before they shrunk it!) and love it. Works great to hold personal stuff at work.
   
   We also went and got my wife one (the 120GB just over a year ago) for her stuff around the house (so she can port it between the various computers she uses). Works great.
   
   The ruggeddized packaging they used works great and really helps it hold up. I know they've been dropped a few times without any issues.

5. Comment - Analysis: Is Motorola better off without the handset business?

   (Jan 31, 2008 - 9:25 AM)

   While there are many aspects to this, it would be very short-sighted of Motorola to give up its hand-set unit. Why? Where do you think its ability to deliver GSM game from? Or its expertise for WiMAX? (No insider info, btw.) It's handset unit directly yields its ability to work at the enterprise and gov't level, if at the very least the R&D side of it. Want to tank the companies ability to compete? Get rid of the handset unit. Want to see it succeed in the long run? Keep the handset unit and figure out what customers (not carriers) really want and work to deliver it. Motorola could really use GSM to leverage a strong direct-to-customer relationship by making it better know they carry UNLOCKED handsets that are not tied to carriers and doing what they can to lower the price of those handsets, not to mention delivering features that the carriers may have blocked on carrier provided versions.
