Next Xbox to be called ‘Xbox Infinity’... er... ‘Xbox’

Re: Internet connection required

It cam fast in the tracks of the Always On DRM in SimCity - which was universally hated - I think a lot of people didn't distinguish.

The question should be - Why does a box you play games on need to be online all the time? What else is it doing? If it is set up download the 2 hour long patch for online gaming for a game I am using, then fair enough.

Privacy campaigner vows legal challenge to Google Street View

If I can walk down that street

and see it with my eyes... then I am pretty sure that is an extremely simplified version of 'Public Domain'.

Street View is a very useful tool, unlike these over-reactors. I don't mind people mooting a case, but what on earth are they afraid of?
