    Sarah Palin's American History

    You're from Michigan. I think you have more important stuff to do & worry about than to troll Obama.

    Visiting NY City soon... questions for New York City area people or familiar with it

    I'd also recommend the Brooklyn Museum/Prospect Park (probably the most underrated park in the USA) and a little dose of DUMBO/Downtown Brooklyn to change a little from Manhattan. If you like parks, you could also hit Riverside Park uptown and have some great views of the GW Bridge and the...

    IMF bombshell: Age of America nears end

    You're assuming our World is only made up of the US and China. China is already on its way to high-value added manufacturing and is dumping the lower-value stuff to Bangladesh, Pakistan, fellow South-East Asians countries, etc. so the USA would not be buying from China anymore in a couple...

    Which President do you think caused the most lasting change?

    Obama because of his deficit spending. He will be the one who ultimately ruined the USA.

    Is this a farce? The private sector will certainly pass the added costs onto the consumer.

    Should former president Bush be tried of international war crimes?

    Clinton was not a good president. He just had an easy time thanks to the economic growth of the 90's.

    Canadian Election 2011

    The poll is s***. No way the NDP wins 30-40 seats in Quebec. NO EFFIN WAY. Period. AFAIK, the Bloc still leads in most ridings and the Liberals have got Montreal's West Island as always. The NDP is "2nd" in a lot of ridings in the Greater Montreal, but it's still a distant second everywhere...

    Report: PS3 Tops 360 In Global Active Console Race

    It has more, but I am not sure about "better"... Best exclusive FPS: Halo Best exclusive Racing Sim: Forza 3 (sorry GT fans) but GT5 is close Best TPS: Gears of War Best exclusive RPG: Up until last November, it was Mass Effect 2 Best puzzle game: LBP Best adventure game: Uncharted 2...

    Report: PS3 Tops 360 In Global Active Console Race

    Talking in terms of sales, general opinion and acclaim, only MLB and LBP would make the cut as "AAA" exclusive titles. And I have a PS3, BTW. As for GT5 outselling Forza 3, it's expected. GT is Sony's biggest brand name... and has been on the market for 13 years. Forza is only 5-6 years old is...

    Report: PS3 Tops 360 In Global Active Console Race

    Yes. Forza is unarguably the best racing console sim this generation (at least, metacritic and gamerankings agree on that). GT5 might be better technically but it's been under development for far longer and came out a year later too. Forza 4 will set the record straight. As for Gears... well...

    Report: PS3 Tops 360 In Global Active Console Race

    The only GREAT, MIND-BLOWING exclusive Sony has is Uncharted 3. Going against Gears 3 and Forza 4. FYI, Resistance 3, Killzone 3 and inFamous 2 are good but not GREAT exclusives.

    A video showing Microsoft's goal for its next-generation gaming platform has leaked.

    I think the whole "exclusive" debate is overrated to be honest. It was still relevant last generation but games are increasingly becoming multiconsole due to the high costs of production and the limited revenue (from exclusivity).

    A video showing Microsoft's goal for its next-generation gaming platform has leaked.

    Again.... It's personal, but if you assess the quality and popularity of all exclusives (and you forgot Fable for Xbox... you should have read my post), the Xbox 360 does quite well even though it's thoroughly outnumbered. Gears - Forza and Halo (which, by the way will be developed by 343...

    A video showing Microsoft's goal for its next-generation gaming platform has leaked.

    The only really good exclusives the PS3 has are Gran Turismo and Uncharted. And maybe God of War, but isn't the trilogy over? Those are "A" exclusives. Like Halo, Forza and Gears on Xbox. Resistance, Motorstorm, Infamous and Killzone are just "meh" games. Like Fable for instance on Xbox...

    Air Force Tanker Drama Over (Boeing Wins)

    I don't see what the big deal is. EADS gets most European countries' contracts. Airbus gets a lot more business with American airlines than Boeing with European airlines.

    Wikileaks traitor withering away

    The dude committed a crime and deserves to pay for it. He was aware of the risks and consequences. He still did it. Now who's the idiot? His life is ruined and he probably will either end it prematurely (suicide) or spend the rest of it behind bars for something that people have already forgotten.

    Chrysler ad w/ Eminem

    Like all Apple products.... Apple which is supposed to be an American symbol builds everything in China, but "designs" it in America. Like Lacoste polos designed in France but manufactured in Peru, Morocco, etc. Bottom line, who cares? People don't think of Canada when they think of...

    Chrysler ad w/ Eminem

    Again... 27 million fans on Facebook, tied for 2nd.... I don't think he's not "identifiable". He just had the best selling album of 2010.

    Chrysler ad w/ Eminem

    If you think the first one sucked, you're not a hip hop fan. Oh, and to the Looney Tunes who said Kid Rock was more known than Eminem, I doubt it. Eminem's new album, which came out in June 2010 was the bestseller for the whole year in the USA and Worldwide as well (well, toe to toe with...

    Was 2010 Microsoft's year?

    Microsoft has definitely much more potential to grow than Apple in some areas. Apple is already into the tablet segment (which is going to be the fastest growing segment of the personal computer industry) while Microsoft has yet to announce its true contender (which they will probably reveal at...

    Was 2010 Microsoft's year?

    When Jobs will retire/die, Apple's stock will drop by at least 30-40%. Moreover, most of Apple's rise is due mostly to hype/Steve Jobs. Microsoft's fundamentals are far stronger than Apple's. And OP forgot to mention Bing's success as another success story for MSFT.

    Shareholders Want Call Of Duty Online Fees

    Turn10 announces Forza Motorsport 4

    - The Kinect demo was a tech demo. They are not sure whether Kinect will be implemented within the final game. - Gran Turismo's sales have been decreasing rapidly. GT3 was the all-time high. GT4 sales were far less than that, even considering the install base of the PS2 was like 3-4 times...

    Shareholders Want Call Of Duty Online Fees

    What matters is profitability, not revenues. As for Pachter being a good analyst, I don't really know. I don't read his stuff. However, he knows way more than you all do. Common sense is cool and everything... but who knew that we would eventually have to pay for an online service (XBL) or to...

    Shareholders Want Call Of Duty Online Fees

    You realize that Pachter is a financial analyst (for Wedbush Securities) and likely knows WAY more than you guys about the video game industry. He's got a lot of inside information and knows about the inner workings of the developers/publishers. Yes, he may be wrong in some instances but the...

    So what exactly does the Tea Party want to cut?

    Read the Economist, Business Week, Forbes, Financial Times, WSJ, Harvard Business Review, etc. Unanimously. VAT is the best model. Low income tax are better to help an economy grow out of a depression. Obama wants the total opposite. No wonder why the USA has a below-expectation growth rate...

    So what exactly does the Tea Party want to cut?

    I don't think so. SS and Medicare are inefficient and should be privatized. Markets are way more efficient than governments.

    So what exactly does the Tea Party want to cut?

    They're trolling because they're clinging onto semantics to bring me down, not the substance of my arguments. I have corrected myself regarding a VAT, why still try to bring me down?

    So what exactly does the Tea Party want to cut?

    A VAT as been hailed as the best taxation method by most financiers and economists. It is discretionary. This is exactly what people wants. Since the US a primarily a consumption economy, the Government stands to make a lot with a VAT.

    So what exactly does the Tea Party want to cut?

    The way for the Government to ear some tax revenue is through a VAT. The Gov't should get rid of SS and Medicare and abolish the taxes related to those inefficient programs. Is it clear, now?! Gosh... you have nothing better to do than this.... no wonder why the Dems are being...
