Sure only a few companies like MS could afford to do that.

My point was that MS is largely a reactionary company as industry trends pass them by and they blow their profits from WIndows and Office to play catch up elsewhere(and they usually fail spectacularly)

Sony sells 100M+ PS2s, they create the Xbox.

Apple sells millions of iPhones, iPods and iPads, we have Windows Phone, Zune and Surface with lots of losses and dead products(Zune) there too.

Xbox360 is an exception in that it actually did well and made money. The original Xbox was a money pit.

RIP Zune :'(

i dont even have one myself :p
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

Ill probably be getting both anyways, but not until the New Year/Destiny release.
Destiny is going to be awesome!

I have a surface pro and love it!
I'll take it used!

iOS 7 breathes new life into the OS and makes it finally feel modern.
Because of the new look of the icons? Or is it doing something more?

RIP Zune :'(
I miss my Zune
*cries*

It'll probably run like shit on my iphone 4.

I bought a broken-ish 4 to use as a podcast/mp3 player for my work commute. If iOS7 is really rough on it I may use it as an excuse to upgrade to a new Touch or something. Maybe just get a new iPhone.

Nice thing about having a work phone is I haven't paid for a cell phone plan in almost 10 years. Bad thing is....

Yeah. And we don't even have a 'better' BB on the horizon to upgrade to. Just fucking sell out already Blackberry so we can finally abandon your dead platform.

The Torch is such a terrible phone.

The Torch is such a terrible phone.

As I complained at work last year, my used iPhone 4 with non-functioning cell antenna is a better phone than my bloody cell phone. Every time I see ppl on the bus checking the Internet on their phone a part of me wonders what it's like to have that be an actually viable option. God knows I'd never bother pulling out my 9810 to google something, it'd be quicker to go home and use a PC.

BB still has BBM, which is still pretty great. Literally everything else they do is at best two years behind ever other smartphone platform. So lame that I'm going to buy a new phone and just use it for work lol.

I finally gave in and got a Nexus 4 in addition to the corporate BB. Nice and cheap on Wind.

Yeah I'll probably get rid of my bb and put my new phone on the BES like a total chump. I really like some of the android options out there but I own so much iOS shit from having an iPad it'd be foolish to not get an iPhone. Just waiting or September 10th really.

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Yo Dopey. I take everything back I said. I made the grave mistake of looking at my budgeting software and looked at my total software&electronics expenditure for the year.

It's not pretty. And it's barely past half of 2013.

30k over one console generation/7 years doesn't seem so unrealistic anymore.

Heh I don't want to give my workplace the ability to wipe my personal phone. BB are such archaic devices compared to Droid and iPhones. Fine for messaging I suppose.

I have an iPad as well but didn't want an expensive iPhone and be tied down to Robellus for 3 years.

If you are talking about the RT yeah, that thing can die. However the Pro trumps all over whatever any iPad could do by far. But that is pretty much comparing a full PC in tablet form to just a tablet.

I remember Windows XP Tablet edition as well. No one seemed to want TabletPCs back then I don't think the Surface Pro will change things much.
 
So one of the pizza places right near where I play hockey has a cheesecake pizza... Only problem is that it is 30 minutes away right now. :(

I'll have to try that after hockey on saturday, sounds somewhat disgusting but yet satisfying to try it.

A friend of mine got one of the new BB's for his work and he loves it. I wouldn't touch the company with a 100 foot pole, myself. Always behind, they seem to be. I picked up a Sony Xperia LZ at the beginning of May, and aside from the lackluster reception and call quality compared to my previous phones (All Motorola's) I love the thing. So many options and Android is just so neat to mess around with.

The camera and video quality is pretty damn impressive.

I've heard the amount someone spends on video games is directly proportionate to their level of happiness

Porn? Can you imagine the chicks he pulls with a blinging $5000 gaming rig

Imagine he also had a decent GM Connected team. He'd be drowning in chicks.
 
I'm not allowed to post my opinion because I'm not religious?

Exactly.

The trouble with the internet in general is that everybody feels entitled to express their opinion. It's bad enough that everybody thinks they're entitled to an opinion, but it's even worse when people think they have the entitlement to express it at every opportunity - shouting into the endless void of faceless people who may or may not be listening.

There was set, defined rules in the OP. It wasn't an excuse for the militant atheist fedorabeards to all rise up and oppress religious people under the guise of being oppressed themselves - like what's happening all over the rest of the internet.

The worst part of atheism is the militant atheists themselves.

"I would punch him in the balls."

"God should fear me."

Look out, we got badasses over here.

Edit: It looks like mods forgot all about the thread. There's still someone unbanned posting about the same thing as the other banned posters.

It's almost come to the point that I hope there is a God. Imagine the soiled pants of keyboard warriors. No, wait, don't.

Jealous, of all the android phones I look at the Sony's tend to look the best; the whole Xperia line is sweet. One of the main reasons I still kinda want to go android instead of iPhone is just to play with something new - iOS has no surprises for me.
