If it wasn't for the extra $50 for the guitar, it wouldn't have achieved that. It's older than Rock Band which has more hardware to sell, so we should soon see it going over 1 billion, especially if you also factor in the massive amounts of download song addons you can buy for it.

No carbon footprint. This whole grams of CO2 per Google search is a little like the big-league pitcher who calculates, based on his salary, that he is being paid something like $200 every time he throws the baseball during a game. But he doesn't get paid more if he pitches more. Google needs to go nuclear. No carbon footprint.

That's it, folks. No proof, not even a discussion except among those who have their nuts linked inextricably to the "skeptic" loop. Om has spoken knowledgeably about it: http://tinyurl.com/99tnx2 Urs Hölzle responded way too politely (I thought) only because of the media blather: http://tinyurl.com/7a7p4j You may now return to gaming, 24 and Fox Snooze.

The Italians were building 'gas-powered penile extensions' And they look mighty great! The Americans were building practical manure wagons. And the Germans just build great cars.. my 3c.

They succeeded. Not that you need to do something like this to realize how ridiculous greenies have become.

Las Vegas is a frigg'n zoo. A big reason I didn't go is there is so much blogging, twittering and keynote video uploading that one really misses very little. UNless of course there are customer meetings to tend to. Obama team is crazy if they want to delay the DTV transition. As far as I'm concerned, a quarter of those coupons will never be used. Many people think it is like a free check for $40. Surprise. I didn’t go to CES either but really didn’t want to. Las Vegas is a frigg’n zoo.
