Because fuck Microsoft.

Using it even just for games is giving them a signal they're doing something right.

Isn't his follow up "be extremely careful when talking to the police"? He gave a follow up lecture some years later.

A little dodgy that the game boy is only available on desktop?

Pretty cool though.

It's not because they're selling ROMs, that only accounts for a small fraction of their back library.

It's because they're assholes.

> The concept — which isn’t entirely clear from that video, but was more fully explained on stage — is that in the future you will be surrounded by an ecosystem of devices, none of which stand alone, but are more like portals to interact with your agents, which live in the cloud.

The fuck I will.

There is no cloud, only other people's hard drives.

Google crash not accident will give many resources.

> there's a reason

Yes, the auto lobby.

Saying "accident" implies that the tens of thousands of road deaths every year are an unavoidable consequence of the convenience of driving.

That's just not true.
