I believe some of the technologies in Kinect are innovative for gaming. As a whole not 100% fully innovative. But these days what is? So many ideas are taken from other things (not always related) and applied. That's modern innovation. Just as America invented video games if you asked who invented video games most would probably answer Japan. It is Japan that is seen as the father of the video game world it is because they took it to the next level and made it worldly renowned. This is the same thing that has and will happen with Kinect. Credit is still due none the less.


As usual, the military products all over the world are the most innovative things you will find these days, most things we use tech wise are of military origins around the world, sad shit ain't it? There is nothing called modern innovation, it's just simple evolution, you don't change a word's meaning to suit whatever the hell you want, people are dumb enough as it is nowadays and doing that just makes it worse, just use the right words to start with.

Modern innovation or Evolution my point still stands. I dont care what word is used.

Using the right terms that people can understand at the start can avoid unnecessary conflict or pointless bickering like we are doing right now. That's why there are still so many countries at war in the world, a lot of them originated from things really really small like a miscommunication from thousands of years ago. You need to take responsibility for the things you say and you have to care what words you are putting out unless you are purposely looking for trouble, in which case, be my guest.


You serious? I mean really serious? Were bickering? I'm not bickering with you. Maybe your butt hurt over something because you read to much into things. Like a simple word which is sad to fight over. My choice of words I didn't consider a big deal. I chose it because I believed their were some innovations within kinect for motion gaming. And you go into a rant because of a conflict of choice of words. Seriously man I don't care that much. My point wasn't that word but what was within the rest of the paragraph. You talk about wars and crap over a word in a game thread? I mean WOW man is all I can say. But that's a problem with the world. Is everyone has to watch what they say in fear of stepping on someone else's toes. Well sorry freedom of speech is still alive for moment. Just accept someone else's opinion with a grain of salt and move along. No need to get upset over nothing.


There is a difference in freedom of speech and simply spewing out words that you don't know the meaning of. There is no opinion when the facts of a dictionary is sitting right there, you can't interpret a meaning on something that's wrong to start with. You can't get a true point across universally unless you are speaking in a term that a mass majority can really understand, which has nothing to do with freedom of speech. So yeah, you are bickering.

Did you read my first response to you? I wrote like 2 sentences and thats me bickering? lol, Your ridiculous is all I can say. I'll choose whatever words I please. But to show you how much I care about what your saying. Then yeah kinect is the Evolution of motion gaming!? Happy now? Seriously that's how much I care. So tune down some, no need to write your congress man a complaint letter.

Well, I do constantly have a smile on my face when I fuck with people on the forums, I do apologize for that grin =P. My point really is that the writer of that article is a dumb ass though.

You might argue Apple's launch of the iPad was huge -- it was, and will continue to change computing -- but when you think about it, the iPad is essentially just a giant iPod Touch. You might think the wild success of Android, or the introduction of Google TV, would rocket the Internet giant to the top of the list -- but neither was truly groundbreaking this year. And sure, Ford expanded its installations Sync (which, by the way, runs on Microsoft Windows Embedded) to millions of vehicles, but in-car infotainment is nothing new.

But a compact and affordable system by which people can use full-body gestures and voice commands to control Xbox games and other software? Yeah, that's pretty innovative.

Wow Microsoft is really putting out some impressive technology this year

It has gotten to the point where I feel sorry for companies trying to compete with them

Honestly this is the kind of pointless statement that basically gets everyone pissed off.

No need to get pissed off, it's a true assessment of reality.

Microsoft pretty much has unlimited money (compared to other companies) so yes, I do feel sorry for companies trying to compete against that bankroll....it's not fair


I can't bring myself to believe anything anyone says who has a picture of Kid Rock as their display... really? You sir are truly an american badass who firmly believes in a company that *coughs* originates out of the US. Wow, i'm not surprised you're defending them so much.

Innovation doesn't bring along crap that breaks in a matter of months sorry.

Again you have to say Microsoft do have a serious PR problem. If they do anything they are wrong if they sell anything  it is crap, i cant say invent because they don't invent anything. Hang on they have invented something..a massive problem with their PR oh well they are good for one thing then



If 1-upping technologies that have already proven themselves in the market and are being used by your own competitors is innovation, then I don't believe that MS can ever be dethroned as the most innovative company of all time.
