Mixiboi commented on Gran Turismo PSP May Have Been Canceled, Like It Ever Existed

Did this game ever even show up on any vaporware list the last several years?

I think that tells how much anyone was really wanting it...

This just in: Nintendo confirms that Mario Party 9, 10, 11, 12, DS 2, DS 3, and DS 4 are all in development....

And why MP DS has more then Mario Galaxy:

01. Mario Party DS (DS) - 196,000 / 1,484,000
05. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) - 82,000 / 802,000

MPDS=multiplayer game, thus everyone has their own game.

Mario Galaxy=Single Player game. Non-Gamers need not apply to buy there own copy.

Thankfully Nintendo knows this....

MS is not in the suit because they did not use "1,2,3,4" to number what remote is which.

Mixiboi commented on School Zone Crosswalk Illuminates With LEDs

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 10:52:44 MST

The best part would be if it turn red when someone wanted to cross...since many people see crosswalks as "Only slow down and stop if someone is in the middle of it and in my way"

When they see RED lights they KNOW to stop....We built that into most drivers...

Checking the calender, April 1st is a Tuesday in 2008. So if Ban Monday happens to happen the day before and the rumors usually pop up that day before(since it will be April Fools in most of the world before dinner).......

Yeah... what fun to be had on that day if the moon and planets align that day.

@nakata:

If that is a monopoly, then every company has a monopoly somewhere.

Someone get the REAL definition of monopoly in here.... oh wait

MONOPOLY
• The exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service : his likely motive was to protect his regional monopoly on furs.
• [usu. with negative ] the exclusive possession, control, or exercise of something : men don't have a monopoly on unrequited love.
• a company or group having exclusive control over a commodity or service: areas where cable companies operate as monopolies.
• a commodity or service controlled in this way : electricity, gas, and water were considered to be natural monopolies.

So is the iPhone being on one service a monopoly when there are plenty of other phones that can do all that the iPhone can do and more?

I don't think so. The only thing the iPhone ha a monopoly is over the iPhone itself.

Mixiboi commented on OLPC Founder Realizes Verbal Agreements Are Not Equivalent to Money

Sat, 17 Nov 2007 23:40:04 MST

@coolrepublica: They are $200 each. Next year they will be $100, so maybe next year they can do "give three get one".

And life is in levels, if you focus on just one level, the other levels get ignored. And then it just causes gaps that the one level that being solved has no experience in. Programs like OLPC are companions to these other programs.

@Bellamy: Ok, as long as you sign an agreement that if ANY one sues Nintendo over that, you will pay for all of Nintendo''s legal fees.

I'm still surprise that no "parent" has tried and sue Microsoft yet...But then again MS is a markets more older, even tho we know what voices comes out of the headset sometimes.

Mixiboi commented on Here's The Hitman Poster That Pissed Off Philly

Fri, 16 Nov 2007 02:03:22 MST

IT was just bad timing on the poster part. If it didn't get released the same week Philly was burying a police officer because he was shot in the head when he was going into a store that was getting rob, I don't think people would of blinked.

But thus is life, its all about timing be it campaign for a movie or just walking into a store.

I find it strange that people want VOIP on the iPhone when they are paying for phone service...

Oh wait, they aren't paying for phone service, just the phone and hacking it to work so then they can use VOIP for free on the hack phone...I got it...

Hell of a way to go...But if you gotta screw the man , you gotta screw man.

So if they have 100 Wii for 50 bucks, only randomly selected 100 will get them for that price..ok.

I'm ok with that, it just means Amazon won't be frozen out when I want to get the losers at a lower price....

Mixiboi commented on US Control Over Core Internet Systems Called Into Question

Sun, 11 Nov 2007 00:34:43 MST

Well this isn't a surprise, with the US banning taxing the net till 20XX, the US Goverment not happy at Yahoo! and China deals, and the net neutrality war, I am not surprise that other governments want to get there hands into the pie.

Net neutrality would be a cold war if the internet systems were divided.(Oh, We don't liek you now, so now you are cut off from OUR system)

The best case as always is the open source, let everyoen have there own pie and be at peace.

But yeah, that I leave up to Google to handle.

If things keep going this way, the XBox teams will find themselves where Nintendo headquarters is by 2012.

Hopefully they don't find the corpses of the toad people Nintendo saughtered to be so damn successful.

How about someone does some real facts checking and get the real story on why this is happening. You know, be more like the New York Times then TMZ.com.*

Mixiboi commented on OLPC XO Laptop for $20*

Sat, 03 Nov 2007 20:06:52 MDT

Just think, If they actually got this under 100 dollars, this would be $199 for 2 laptops and 40 bucks for free T-Mobile hotspots.

Oh well, at lease it still cheaper then $400. November 12th will be a interesting day.

Sadly, not the whole world can download a album, and not everyone has an MP3 player.

So Radiohead had to play with the people who can mass produce CDs....Or they leave hundreds of thousands of fans out of the loop.

Mixiboi commented on Nintendo Still Not Keen On Wii HDD

Mon, 29 Oct 2007 21:17:14 MDT

An external hard drive is about the same size as he Wii is.

It's be really silly having a 500GB HHD hooked up to the tiny little Wii...

Now if they open it up to 8GB an 16GB flash drive stick, it's be all gravy.

"One of Littlebigplanet's biggest draws is the gorgeous stylised visuals."

Then I fear the game is doomed....Because if the game is only seen as pretty and the whole concept of the game is lost(you know creating entire levels) then yeah, Via Pinataland here LBP comes.
