well they could have released some super cool mmo gameplay and nobody would have cared.

now they just said “persistent worlds”. with nothing to back it up. and no gameplay footage at all. the only things to focus on were really DRM and TV.

like what?

like run-any-binary-you-want-anytime-you-want-from-anywhere-you-want? there’s a world of difference.

of course if you mean instant switching between watching tv and gaming by alt-tab.. then yeah, pc’s have had the stuff they made a big deal about in the presentation for ages.

“I absolutely hate how people can see what I like and what my comments to posts are on Facebook. I really have to watch what I comment on and watch what I say, and I think that somewhat defeats the purpose of social media.”

wait wut what huh?

here’s a solution: create a profile with no friends and with all posts hidden from others! then you can post whatever you want without anyone reading them ever! I also hate that if I write something on paper other people can read what I wrote! but my pet peeve is other people speaking with other people about what I spoke with them! they should all just forget what I spoke instantly!

the entire purpose of commenting on “social media” and pressing likes etc is that other people can read them! the entire purpose of keeping a contact list on things like facebook is that the people on that “mailing list” can see them! the entire point of not keeping that anonymous is that they know that the posts are from you.

anon blogging is another matter for other subjects of course.

if the food can be stored inert for 30 years and made into something nicely edible.. that’s not too bad then.

we have enough food, distribution is the problem.

what they seemingly did was just create a clone of metrotube.. .. which begs the question, why didn’t they just point people to it in the first place… (I guess because they knew that they should remove it from the store if they knew it to exist!)
