that first one took me the longest.. i kept reading it as 'keep off the grass'. really confused me as to why that was there among all the other more pleasant signs..? it was only after going through all the others that i got it. seems my

that's true, but i think there can be a middle-ground.. apple represents one extreme by locking-down everything to its ecosystem and connecting devices using proprietary technologies. i’d say sony's integration, by these means, lies on the

the issue here is clearly one of failing to adapt to change (as it so often is), but i’d characterize it as having more to do with a shift from isolated products (hardware and software) to connected ecosystems .. > By the way, Nokia

the rumor you're basing that on doesn't appear to be entirely accurate [1]. either way, i don't think its fair to draw judgment one way or another until they actually explain how that will be handled.. also, this issue is nothing new and is

agreed. people make it sound like they removed some essential features, just because they didn't emphasize them enough (or because they emphasized others more). from what i've seen this appears to match the ps4 in every way - even down to t
