Nov 10th 2009 2:06PM Sucks for all those Steam-heads.
Entelligence: Heads I win, tails so do you {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2009 8:05AM Well the reason this mentality of "killed-or-be-killed" exists in the market is simply due to greed. Every company wants to be number 1 in the business and roll around in tangible piles of money. But if they are less than number 1, they consider themselves as a failure.
But with technology it gets even trickier because of just how quickly things changes over time. A year ago, a phone like the Droid probably wouldn't have been possible for $200, but here we are today. If companies don't seize the moment and keep up the momentum, they will quickly be dethroned.
The one thing I can genuinely credit Apple for is that they timed the release of the iPod perfectly and have managed to keep their momentum going from 2001 until now. And that momentum doesn't even apply specifically to the iPod, which is even more impressive.
So that killer instinct mentality of the consumer technology business world makes a lot more sense.

Modern Warfare 2 limited to 9 vs. 9 on PC {Joystiq}
Nov 6th 2009 2:42AM The reason I am a PC gamer is that
1) PC Games are typically cheaper than its console versions
2) The online in PC games is ridiculously fun
3) You can have shitloads of people running around in those online games, wreaking havoc.
Activision has somehow managed to kill all of those.

DSi XL FAQ: Sized up {Joystiq}
Oct 30th 2009 9:29AM If they made the DSi XL so big, wasn't there enough space to throw back in the GBA slot? Seems like a missed opportunity (even though I realize backwards compatibility isn't such a big deal anymore).
T-Mobile's Project Dark includes option for buying phones in monthly installments? {Engadget}
Oct 19th 2009 8:10AM Here in Bahrain, both the providers here offer lots of high-end smartphones for monthly installments of about $50. And these phones include the Nokia N97, Samsung Omnia, Blackberry Storm, Blackberry Bold, and lots lots more.
I'm honestly surprised none of the networks did that before (but then again you say they have?)
