Guess what? MS doesn't care about PC sales. Their minds are set on us using the Windows Store. That's where they hope the majority of their revenue will come from. So to them, selling another PC is second.

I'm actually more excited for this one. It's looks more unique.

Paid Email??? What??? Microsoft is testing Outlook Premium

Someone mentioned you can turn off ads in Gmail. Is that correct? And how? I would like to do that. -
Source: http://kotaku.com/sources-sony-is-working-on-a-ps4-5-1765723053 Multiple sources coming out of GDC have claimed that Sony is looking into upgrading the PS4. The new device, called PS4.5 or PS4K for now, it supposedly able to run games at 4K resolution. It's unclear how they will implement this, but I am 100% positive it will be a just another console release just like the New Nintendo 3DS rather than something you will plug into your existing PS4. This come right on the heels of MS's announcement this month about the potential for Xbox upgrades. A source mentioned that this sounds exploratory for now, so it seems like Sony doesn't want to be left behind this generation - you get a lot of attention as the most powerful console, and I bet Sony doesn't want to lose that crown. I don't know how they will make this work, because as of right now it is really expensive to run 4K video games at 60 FPS. Whatever this console is, it may be really expensive. Console manufacturers don't like seller these things at a loss anymore.

Source: http://news.xbox.com/2016/03/18/spring-sale-xbox-one-starting-at-299-a-week-of-game-deals/ Starting March 20, 2016 MS will be taking $50 off all Xbox One bundles for a "limited time". Of course, the last time they said this it became a permanent price drop, so I am confident that this will be the permanent price sometime early this year. $299 for a console is not a bad price, and it's getting hard to compete with something that already has a controller and Blu-ray drive bundled in with the price (yes, some people still need/use those features). Also since Phil Spencer did say he's working on PC streaming (http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/29/9061467/microsoft-windows-10-pc-game-streaming-to-xbox-one), this may be a good entry for those who want an easy way to watch media apps and to stream PC games to their couch.

Microsoft to unify PC and Xbox One platforms
themodernagenb replied to viggiesmalls92's topic in Tech News
Video of the actual conference. -
I feel like no one here understands why people buy consoles. Having different SKUs of a console doesn't make it a PC. Having a good, better, best tier doesn't make it a PC. Making it upgradable doesn't make it a PC.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/03/01/forza-motorsport-6-apex-announced-free-to-play-on-pc?abthid=56d5a0729d46f67f30000017 Turn 10 Studios has announced that Forza Motorsport 6 is coming to PC (Windows 10 exclusive of course, what did you expect?) as a free-to-play game. It's a little different from the original game on Xbox One. At launch, there will feature 12 themed racing events, more than 60 cars, and a new objective system, which challenges players to complete specific, skill-based tasks for additional in-game currency. Yes, you earn in-game currency to purchase cars and presumably tracks. Or you can buy them with real money. Looks like MS is looking at PC as more of a free-to-play model with this and Fable: Legends. Makes sense since it's a low barrier of entry.

SteamOS gaming performs significantly worse than Windows
themodernagenb replied to tangra's topic in Tech News
Oh wow, the amount of people forgiving Valve, making excuses is really high in this thread. If this was reversed I don't think I would see any remorse. -
About time. I remember them sending out surveys about mITX like a year ago.

Crackdown 3 100% destructible environments, powered by the "cloud"
themodernagenb replied to werto165's topic in Tech News
To everyone that says a single PC can do this, please watch this video, it will change your mind : http://www.ign.com/videos/2015/08/06/17-minutes-of-explosive-crackdown-3-gameplay-gamescom-2015?utm_source=IGN%20hub%20page&utm_medium=IGN%20(front%20page)&utm_content=2&utm_campaign=Coverstory To those why say why? or who cares? Well, why not? This is awesome and this bitterness and elitism is getting tiring. We should appreciate developers trying to push boundaries. -

If you hate things being called "the cloud" then you must really hate it when people use "drone." -
[PC Gamer] PC second strongest platform for Ubisoft game sales
themodernagenb replied to Ramzinho's topic in Tech News
So... console sales are stronger than PC sales... who would've thought. Guess that explains why no one cares about the PC port. -

Not everyone can type fast. Like at all. (i.e., your mom and pops). So this is not as dumb as you all are saying. -
Define R5 to get optional top mounted fan filter.
themodernagenb replied to zushiba's topic in Tech News
I still find the idea of this modular top to be ugly. The filter should just be one long filter. No need to split it up into 3 pieces. or have a top that is two filters long and the other 1/3 not filtered - ALL one solid piece. -

Halo 5 Guardians: Lots of details and in-game material
themodernagenb replied to Victorious Secret's topic in Tech News
That's Nathan Fillion (Castle, Firefly, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, etc.). He played Buck in Halo 3: ODST. And yes, he's a Spartan IV now (since the latest book, New Blood). -
