Torrents I’m not so fearful of, but beware the file you end up with. If it’s not what you expect, or it is asking for a password, or for you to download a codec, just chuck it in the recycle bin.

Of course, it’s really the XBox 3.

The One X+ came after the One X had it’s main run. It was an attempt at extending it’s life.
The One XL was just the 4G version.
The Sensation XL was the same deal. An old phone getting a refresh.These updates had nothing to do with their initial success or otherwise.

When I bought a PS3 I was at the time upset that it didn’t have PS2 compatibility.
You know what? In reality it didn’t matter one bit.Who wants to play old games on their nice shiny superpowered console?

I’ve been reading the various Verge staff tweets. You guys are kind of gloating over this.

Well, the point here isn’t that the One is a marketing disaster. They can’t make enough of them. It’s manufacturing eff up. And perhaps that’s the danger of something like the One. It’s tougher to build compared to a simple plastic design.
As for the First… well done Facebook in making the phone pointless.

Yeah. Sony and Microsoft aren’t going to go down the dodgy Shenzen DVD player path.
They are the people, Sony especially, that the Rules were made to protect.They aren’t Fighting the Man. They Are the Man.

Though a GeForce GTX 660M is still kinda half-arsed for a video card.

I have come back to loving big monitored desktop machines lately.
A laptop feels like a luxury when compared to a tablet. A desktop machine is just doesn’t have the compromises of a laptop.If you really just play games at home, how could you not go for a big 27" screen with a powerful non-mobile video card?

A newly released PS3 or XBox AAA game in the stores in Australia can have a sticker of over $100.
It’s stupid.If you don’t want me buying second hand games or from Hong Kong, then the solution is obvious…
And yeah, Steam gets alot of business in our house. -

“Windows” as such doesn’t matter.
Windows Services. live.com matters. -

It further glues people into the Microsoft ecosystem.
If you can easily check your mail and calendar. Show the photos in your Skydrive on your TV. All those ecosystemy things, then that nudges you into the Microsoft World. It nudges you to use that stuff on your PC and perhaps buy a Windows Phone.I think it is just as legit a way to do things as the tactics used by Apple or Google do.
And it may be a big decider for me. If Sony is more Google friendly, or even just Xperia/Bravia friendly (as much of my hardware is Sony), then that will matter to me.

Well, DirectX…. come on. That’s just another example.
A nice big X is a good clear branding symbol.If they bring out a cheap version of the XBox One, I hope they call it the XBox One S.

Keep on holding onto that cliché that DLNA doesn’t work.
It does, actually. -
Comment
But this high powered thing with lots of I/O ports is connected to your TV anyway.
Why not have it do the stuff you need it to when you’re not playing games?Otherwise you’ve got to connect yet another box to your TV. Another remote control, another UI to understand.

Yeah. “One” is a bit of a cliche.
But so is “X”. X Box, X Windows, MacOS X. Planet X.So Microsoft has combined to great branding clichés into a Mega-Cliché.

A 266 GHz iMac G3 ran Quartz badly.
In those early days the bubble iMacs really struggled with OSX.IMHO, the Win 8 desktop is a little bare. It is trying to emulate the Metro feel, I guess, but it could be a bit less flat.

Some of that was kind of… pornographic. Or maybe I am seeing too much in abstract shapes there.

It just needs a pony on the side.
Or a Bratz.
