lue: Agree, this is why I am proposing that the innovation must not from more graphical power (evolution) but from different and more radical experiences (revolusion).

Black: Not true. You can store 99% of the info on the PC and have the last 1% stay local to the 360. The 99% is useless without the last 1% so no piracy. Also, with on-line only distribution the whole notion of piracy kind of goes away.

Green: Not true. It really depends on the frequencies and the micro-architecture. The iPhone does not have a fan although it is as capable as the original Xbox in terms of computing power. A 32 nm processor will run much cooler than a 90nm processor.

The hacking comm. would get the data in days from the cache PC storage.  Also, the iPhone is not a console. Equal capabilies are given but they are different types of systems.  Even the slim PS2 has a fan and due to compactness it overheats.  MS consoles are PC's in boxes and the Larambee architecture of the 720 will require a fan (yes they are looking at this).

 

The hackers can get the data from the PC in seconds. It will be there for them to take, unprotected. But if every 100th byte is missing then it is useless. Keep 1% on the console (protected) and 99% on the PC.

Reagrding the fan - the iPhone is a computer, make no mistake about it. It is very powerful - can run Halo 1 even. But you know what? The whole fan question is not very important - as long as the machine is dead quiet. Can we agree to that?
