drewkkake commented on Live Mesh Connects Folders and Desktops Across Windows PCs, at 1:36 PM on Jul 18 Remote desktop is fantastic from work - of course there is a short lag, but it is by no means unusable (I'd say the setup is about as quick as a PIII computer). more » [lifehacker]

drewkkake commented on EU Antitrust Lands Intel with Three New Charges, at 10:24 AM on Jul 18 My guess is that images with company logos on the middle of a Monopoly board practically flood the internets, and I should probably be ashamed that I've never seen such a thing in my ~decade and a half of web surfing, but I laughed out loud when I saw it. I have a hard time with the use of "aiming to exclude AMD" - doesn't every company essentially try to "exclude" others in the same market? more » [gizmodo]

drewkkake commented on Rumor: Microsoft to Allow Third-Party Xbox 360 Consoles, at 11:27 PM on Jun 25 This would be genius, if true. - The 360 would enjoy a pretty massive increase in user base when various companies manufacture hardware that caters to every niche (for example, integrating Blu-Ray)- Those people holding back from buying because of quality control issues would probably have no qualms about buying units from, say, Samsung- Microsoft wouldn't have to spend research and manufacturing resources coming up with multiple SKUs; if multiple companies compete in the same market, the price of a 360 unit will undoubtedly drop (which again means more units sold, larger user base)- Microsoft wouldn't have to even think about hardware support, which obviously would be huge for everybody- As far as I know, Microsoft still loses lots of money per unit sold; they just make it back because of a high software attachment rate - making ANY money from a licensing fee for any given unit sold is obviously better than losing money On the flip side, once precedent is set for this, the all-in-one hardware will undoubtedly follow (PCs) and the game will shift to an operating system war. more » [gizmodo]
