    While his video might be a little...odd, the crazy thing is this bugger is only 19 and already doing professional shoots with big name celebrities and cranking out some truly breathtaking images.

    There's plenty of scandalous posts in non-NSFW articles. Is there a way to tag our comments so they don't show up either?

    Love the truck analogy - very well put.

    The irony is that they probably could have made a successful company if they had just focused on the software emulation Rebel EFI side of their business... assuming that they weren't violating any GNU licenses on that product as well, which is actually probably a pretty big assumption.

    Have many of you had moments where you were so upset with a computer that you poured liquid on it and/or beat it into submission? I admit after an old computer sliced my arm for the third time that I got my retribution on it. Perhaps there is a job waiting for me at the Geek Squad after all.

    @Eavangel: Yes, long slices were opened on my arm from the edge of the case three times. My whole arm was bandaged up, and I admit to complete stupidity on my part -- why I kept working on it after the second time is beyond me. Needless to say, the computer did not get a fourth chance. Stupid computer.

    In reply to Nokia Gets Busted Showing Off N900 SNES Emulator
    So, is this actually a legal issue? Nokia was not saying (were they?) that their phone would play those two games, they were merely showing that it could play these games if Nintendo was willing to license them, right? Or is Nintendo upset that they were even running on a machine they did not license their software for? Interesting questions that attorneys for both companies are pondering, I am certain.

    On the bright side, since Nokia has been sliding in the cell phone world (um, somewhat similar to a particular "N" company game console recently), perhaps Nokia is just wanting to become the rebel of the cell phone world. Perhaps the E.U. will come to their rescue.

    @Flying Jukebox: Actually, the Wii sales have been sinking, which is why Nintendo had to lower the price. It is true that the DS continues to do well, however - though one might accurately question whether the "next generation" of hand held gaming machines will be our cell phones. Perhaps the MarioPhone is in our future?

    @Monty: Every console has been sinking, the Wii is one of the best selling consoles ever. People like dedicated buttons when it comes to gaming; i still don't see gaming on cell phones taking off. The N-Gage failed, why wouldn't the next generation?

    @Monty: Wii sales have been sinking, but Nintendo still profits more from them than their competitors. So yes, it's a downwards trend, but it's nowhere as bad as Nokia's downwards trend.

    In fact Nintendo is STILL printing money despite lower sales and income. That says something about how successful they have been in the first place.

    @tokugawa: Nokia is still making serious dollars as well, so you are, unfortunately, bringing more validity to the original statement I made which was more or less a joke anyway. Both companies are the sales leaders in their respective markets, and many folks have been concerned about both companies being a generation behind their competitors. That said, both continue to make bucks despite the concern.

    @Flying Jukebox: Well, the Wii is the best selling console this generation - without question, however it is not all sunshine and rainbows. First, the PS2 has sold over 130 million units, and the Wii has sold around 30 million or so, I believe. Admittedly, the PS2 has been around much longer, but chances are the Wii will never catch up. There is also the minor issue that overall sales per device for the Wii are much smaller than the PS2, or even the Xbox 360 or PS3. Ignoring those two items, the Wii is clearly the champion. Of course, Nokia is clearly the champion of the cell phone market, as well -- and it is easy to make a comparison between the two companies.

    @Monty: But compared to Nokia, Nintendo is financially very healthy. They don't have to downsize or bribe any governments by threatening to move elsewhere (like Nokia does).

    I'm pretty sure the actual profits compared to the respective income are much more favourable for Nintendo than for Nokia.

    In reply to NOVA Concept DSLR, For the Gamer/Photographer
    I won't straight say it's awful, because that's what traditionalists do.
    Maybe I'm not getting where the designer went after, as I'm no pro photographer myself.

    But I gotta say it doesn't look good.
    There are too many problems with it.

    Pressing the shutter button on that handle will certainly cause way more shaking than if it was on top.

    Balance will probably be way harder to manage as the lens is the heaviest part of the cam, and worse: as you change lenses, the weight will change.
    There's a reason why we rest them on one hand.

    I see the designer was trying to make something more practical to take pics holding the camera up, but it doesn't solve anything.

    In fact, I think it'll be even harder to guess where you're aiming at with a handle like that.
    A firm rubberized grip might not fit in your hand as nicely as that handle, but it's not supposed to.
    It's a grip you use your fingers to grasp because that produces steadier shots.

    Also: moving parts. There are always tons of problems with moving parts like those handles. Tripods are good examples.

    But you know, there's always chance some photographers or some type of photography could use something like that...
