Game Forum / PlayStation / PlayStation / December 2007Micro$crew-up combines all losing TV technologies into one group
Wow, what a losing combo. IPTV, Media Center, HD-DVD and WebTV, all combined together into one group. Now, all they have to do is slap the xflop 3-shitty in there to be one really junky set-top box. It looks like the direction they are heading, one box with every feature that doesn't work very well with the sum total being a complete piece of crap. With Vista being voted one of the worst technologies of 2007, all they need to do is throw that in there with the crapped out blade interface and they would have the biggest bugfest of all time. 2008 keeps looking worse and worse for old Micro$hit and their dorky douchebag entertainment efforts. By the way they are lurching around, you would swear they actually listen to dorky douchebag dorks like Jackass Jordan, Joan/Jonah the Joke, Swami Moron, almighty-Nitwit, and Jerk-e-mee Teats. Micro$crew-up combines all losing TV technologies into one group http://www.news.com/8301-13860_3-9837302-56.html?tag=nefd.top Microsoft quietly combines TV efforts December 21, 2007 Microsoft has quietly folded its Internet Protocol television, Media Center, and HD DVD efforts into a single organization, known as the Connected TV business group. The unit, which is part of Robbie Bach's Entertainment and Devices division, is headed by Enrique Rodriguez, the VP (and former WebTV developer) who has been heading the IPTV effort. Peter Barrett, who was CTO of the IPTV unit, takes on that role for the unit. The move, which took place in October, paves the way for the different technologies, all centered around the television, to work more closely together. On the IPTV front, Microsoft is moving ahead with its effort to allow additional programs to run on set-top boxes using its software. Microsoft said it now has more than two dozen companies working on software for its Mediaroom platform, including ES3 and Emuse Technologies. In October, the company had a conference in Boston for such developers, an event the company plans to make a yearly gathering. Expect to hear more on the IPTV front at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Microsoft has spent years and invested billions of dollars in the TV business, changing approaches several times along the way. > Wow, what a losing combo.

I don't think you can put any current console on an all time top 10 list. They don't have enough history yet. My all time Top 10 Console list: 1) Sega Genesis 2) Sony Playstation 3) Sega Dreamcast 4) Microsoft Xbox 5) Sony PSP 6) NES 7) Sega CD 8) Nintendo Gameboy Advance 9) Nintendo Gamecube 10) SNES > > > Wheres the Xbox in this list? > > >http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20070506/4471/ [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > 9) Nintendo Gamecube > 10) SNES What would be the point of a Top 10 systems list (2 of your systems weren't appropriate for a list of consoles) when there haven't been that many systems? There's like, what, 25 systems or so ever? A best 10 of 25 is like saying, here are my top 2 of the last 5 games I played. P.S. The Sega CD was just an add-on for the Sega Genesis. In any case, if we must... 1) Super Nintendo Entertainment System 2) Nintendo Entertainment System 3) Sega Dreamcast 4) Xbox 5) Xbox 360 6) Nintendo Game Boy Advance 7) Nintendo DS 8) Nintendo GameCube 9) Nintendo 64 10) Sony PSP It's kind of stupid, though, unless you've owned every system ever. If you add the Playstation, the Neo Geo Pocket Color and the Game Boy Color to that list, it's every system I've ever owned. Oops, can't forget the Atari 2600. Knock off the PSP and put the Atari 2600 there. If I included systems I've never owned, I would probably put the Playstation 2 at number 8 and bump everything down a notch. > It's kind of stupid, though, unless you've owned every system ever.

Knock off the PSP and put the Atari 2600 there. I can't believe the 2600 no longer makes anyone's top ten. Where's the love for us old farts? > What would be the point of a Top 10 systems list (2 of your systems > weren't appropriate for a list of consoles) when there haven't been > that many systems? I was reaching to put the SNES as low as possible. Ideally I would have liked it out of the top 10 completely. > P.S. The Sega CD was just an add-on for the Sega Genesis. You could not play Sega CD games without extra hardware. There were also integrated units like the Sega CD-X. It had over 200 games released for it which is currently more than the PS3 and Wii COMBINED. - Jordan >> In article > <b338e57e-602f-4735-a353-b1aa86cf6bb7@e10g2000prf.googlegroups.com>, Jordan [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >haven’t quite figured out what makes Xbox Live shine and I long for the >day when they do.

In our home alone we’ve got three Xbox Live subscriptions and three Xbox 360s, including the new Xbox 360 Elite. The Xbox Live Arcade is easily the best online gaming system out there today or ever and has become the world’s arcade." And if you look at the right hand side, there is a pic of a game and guess for what system it is for? > In article <b338e57e-602f-4735-a353-b1aa86cf6...@e10g2000prf.googlegroups.com>, Jordan <lu...@earthlink.net> wrote:>On Dec 21, 4:18 pm, Blig Merk <blig_m...@yahoo.com> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Retard, you posted a story from August of 2006!!!!!!

It's kind of weird that you don't complain about how the Playstation 3's usefulness as a web browser is about as useful as WebTV. >Did Microsoft do WebTV?

Do you really watch YouTube videos that often? I'm not really keen on using that site much since the quality of the video is so low. I go to that site if I'm desperate but often find what I'm looking for (aside from the really out of the way stuff) on P2P services. I imagine YouTube must look pretty crappy on an HDTV since it doesn't look all that good on the PC, either. And it's so cumbersome just to type in the URL. I guess I could hook in a USB keyboard if I was really desperate but I don't even have a USB keyboard. |
