Buying stuff like that online would die down eventually, it?s new and fresh but after you spend like $30.00 to $40.00 bucks you realize that it's just not worth it.

Just look what happen to 360, theme and gamerpic etc they put everything on sale and I rarely see anyone with a gamerpic which was bought. I understand Sony has to generate money somehow, since they aren't charging for PSN and the cost of developing home.

Microsoft "will not be using Home"

Microsoft has dismissed reports that it's planning to use Sony's PS3 virtual world Home to host business meetings.

"Microsoft will not be using Home as a tool for virtual meetings," the company told us following a recent report to the contrary.

Last week GAAP claimed MS would be one of a number of big companies using Home for meetings in a bid to reduce costs and carbon emissions, but according to the platform holder it's perfectly capable of staging its own virtual bashes.

"With fantastic Microsoft-developed products and applications like Live Meeting and even Xbox Live Party, we have everything we need to host a virtual meeting in-house," it said.

We were sceptical about the original report, and clearly with good reason.

LMFAO, why would they use home anyway?!

Would probably be like 2 hours of;

"Hey can you guys hear me?"

"You are breaking up"

"Should be fixed now, welcome to our first business meeting within Playstat ..."

"WHAT?"

"Someone is pumping in my face, could we get rid of him?"

"Where did John go?"

"John got disconnected"

"Where did Sarah go?"

"She ran from all the guys chasing her"

Would be a massive failure

And yes Jeremy, one of the godfathers of software and easily one of the most important companies in the world that ever was. Love them or hate them, can't deny they have shaped and changed the world with their products :yes:

Shall I start writing a list of the products Sony created ripped off ;)?

Or maybe the failed ventures they undertook? Both are getting pretty long these days :p

No, far too much level headed and thought provoking discussion will entail leaving us with 15 pages of unbiased and worthwhile discussion from the legions of business entrepreneurs, and highly rated gaming/financial analysts that reside on NW.

We've seen what joke posts and sarcasm does to threads in the gamers hangout, why not leave it out all together? Or at least try to.

So have Apple, and I would put their software (and hardware) well above that of any other company. MS have just ripped people off from day one, then monopolised, charged the earth, made a fortune, and now buy everything they want to win.

Not a great business model, although it is successful.

Yeah, I replied to you because it was the freshest post of the matter.

Still, someone who has jumped into a thread and flames people for arguing really doesn't do anything to help the matter at hand.

I am not starting a versus discussion between Apple and MS. I said MS is one of the godfathers of software and they are. So what is your problem now? This has absolutely nothing to do with Apple, why even bother bringing them up?

No problem at all. Just a friendly discussion. When you claim that MS are the godfathers (and you did originally) of software, that brings all software houses into the discussion as they are very much linked. I just stated my opinion that Apple are by far the most advanced software/hardware house and I would class them and Unix as the godfathers.

If you don't want to discuss that's fine.

      If they ever come out and say the AI is no longer accessible to the gen pop people aren't going to know how to tie their own shoelaces.

      It's hard not to when they are shoehorning Ai into EVERYTHING. Some are active users by choice, I bet a lot of them are because it's shoved in their face the entire time.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing by Hamid Ganji Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, the way people research, get their news, and perform routine tasks has changed dramatically. Now, almost everything around us has a touch of AI, and companies are trying to embed it into nearly every product and service they offer. With that in mind, new research shows how Americans are actually adopting this change and using AI in their everyday lives. According to new research conducted by the Pew Research Center, 49% of American adults now use AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini. This marks a significant increase over last year, when only 33% of American adults reported using AI. Additionally, four in ten U.S. adults (42%) said they use AI tools to research information, while 38% said they use these tools to handle tasks at work. Entertainment, image and video editing, and getting medical advice are among the other ways Americans are using AI. Moreover, ChatGPT dominates the U.S. AI market, with 44% of respondents saying they use OpenAI's chatbot. Gemini follows at 24%, while Copilot and Meta AI account for 17% and 14%, respectively. Respondents also said that AI chatbots generally have a positive impact on their productivity and how informed they are. But when it comes to AI’s impact on society, Americans remain largely skeptical. About 40% of American adults believe AI will be more harmful than beneficial to society over the next 20 years. Additionally, 31% expect AI to have a negative effect on them personally. Another 31% of respondents say AI could be equally positive and negative. As for data security, pessimism remains high: 71% of respondents say AI will make their personal information less secure, while only 3% believe it will make their data more secure. American adults also largely lack confidence in both the government and AI companies when it comes to regulating and developing AI. About 67% of Americans have little to no confidence in the U.S. government’s ability to regulate AI effectively. Six in ten adults are also not confident that U.S. companies will develop and use these tools responsibly.
