They didn't mention anything about the hardware, and you've jumped to the conclusion that this means hardware is dead? Talk about linkbait... Gamers may not care about hardware aesthetics (the original Xbox is a fat, ugly hunk of cheap plas

This makes me wonder: How will today's games be preserved in a collection like this? I'm sure the DRM servers for games like Assassin's Creed won't be maintained for more than another decade, if that. Then, you have all kinds of PC games wi

It has nothing to do with measuring productivity or making sure they're at their desk instead of watching TV. It's about creating a virtual presence in the office to reduce communication barriers. I don't see anything ridiculous about that
