I suspect you may have missed the entire point of this new technology.

Obviously from a consumer POV this is a complete waste of time and money, and will likely fail miserably.

That said, maybe this will encourage Linux game development! (IMHO the only thing preventing Linux from succeeding as a popular OS, at least in my house).

So should Microsoft require proprietary over-priced hardware to run their OS as well?

Apple doesn't make their OS for $129 a copy. They take a loss (or possibly break even) and make up for the difference elsewhere.

I'm not sure about the realiability of this, but I beleive the article says the extra gallon of fuel is used to produce enough electricity to drive the car 450 miles. The fuel is running a generator, not directly running the engine. I would be willing to believe that you could produce a lot more electricity from a gallon of fuel than you could store in a battery.

I own an XBox, but I've never played a single game on it.

I soft-modded it and installed XBMC. I use that to access media off my PC to watch on my TV everyday.

It is modded and I do not have any pirated games.

When the 360 gets to that stage, maybe I'll buy one.

There are legitimate uses for modding, and there are legitimate people such as myself who want articles like this to know exactly where the modding scene is at.

You did sound pretty serious...

I may just be an idiot, but I can't even find the clock on this "watch"...

I'm sorry, but I don't think even Brad Pitt could pull this one off. Not to mention, there's a reason you will never actually see him wearing one...

I can't believe my first CD was the GoldenEye soundtrack...

You're right, I see that now, should have done my research... That's kinda cool actually...
