do you work for kickstarter?
let's kickstart a Kickstarter to get Great Rumbler a job on Kickstarter
The ps4 footage didn't count?If you already have a good PC, next gen looks like much ado about nothing with a heaping side of anti-consumerism. There better be some killer console exclusive games on these systems.
Wrong thread?
My theory is that they are clearing them up before people realize they won't be backward compatible with Durango.
If you only read one gaming statistic this week, let it be this one: In a pre-conference survey, GDC 2013′s organizers found that 58 percent of gaming professionals attending either last year’s conference or this one plan to release their next game on smartphones or tablets.
Generations beyond ARM performancePrepare for a tablet experience that's far faster and much smoother than anything you've worked with before. Probably the most impressive thing about Surface Pro is that, couched purely in terms of component performance, we're looking at a device that boasts a 10x jump in performance in many areas over the best of the ARM offerings. CPU, graphics core, RAM and storage are way beyond the capabilities of a conventional tablet and it shows.
Omigod can you even imagine how long it would take a standard laptop HDD to actually FILL 16GB of RAM
MS proved with Windows 8 that they're willing to throw their longtime existing customers under the bus in search of new and greater profit. The next Xbox will probably follow that philosophy, esp. considering that both the PC desktop and console market are shrinking.
Mj I can do everything I did on previous windows versions with windows 8.
Everything. I went from vista to 8. 8 is 7 with its own separate start screen. Boo hoo. Ms have alienated every windows user by doing this.

W8 is worse then vista.
I don't hate Windows 8, but I do agree that many of the changes to the GUI are downright stupid to use on a desktop PC. For tablets with touchscreens they make more sense.
Sony, he said, approached AMD based on the company's track record with the Xbox 360, Wii and other consoles, effectively skipping over Nvidia, which provided the chips for the PS3."[Sony's] approach - and they've said this publicly over the last couple of days here at GDC - was, 'We looked at some of the ways that we approached hardware in the past, and we wanted to improve.' And they looked at us as being able as being able to provide that."AMD could provide an integrated solution through its APU that Nvidia couldn't, he continued, by optimizing information flows, generating greater performance, better power and heat efficiency, and by providing tools and dev relationships to provide the PS4 a strong launch.
In a recent interview with TechRadar, Nvidia's Tony Tamasi sized up the PS4's specs to "a low-end CPU, and a low- to mid-range GPU" when compared to gaming PCs. The console's innards, Tamasi said, are outdated even now, months before the PS4 launches during the 2013 holiday season."Well, of course they're going to do that," Robison said with a laugh when told of the comparison. "They're a little bitter."
8 does boot hella fast
