 In another words you have no idea.


I have my ideas, yes. But he is alot more knowledgeable than any of us.

 Just because someone is smart does mean they can't stretch  the truth or plain out lie. Don't forget it the so called smart people that cause the housing  market to crash.

If you consider bankers, loan officers, and in some cases real estate agents "smart people" I truly feel sorry for you mate.  Most of the ones that caused it did so with the knowledge one day it would come back to hurt them, and they continued on.  You can only allow so many bad loans to go through before you end up losing your ass.  Even if you sell those loans out to 3rd parties.


Still talking like that...

Between, he said "so called smart people" doesnt mean that he personally find them smart. In any case, being smart is relative.

Yes everyone has seen the videos of the Asians event.

Where Kinect keeps telling the girls shes out of range and to move into range, yet she probably has no clue what it's telling her to do. 

LOL.

I've seen plenty of videos where the games work. And I've seen a couple videos where they had trouble on stage. With that said, it clearly has issues in certain enviornments. As did the Eyetoy.

The Kinect is new technology. It has capabilites that can't be duplicated on the Eyetoy. The Eyetoy is just a webcam.

Thats right, eyetoy body evaluation is only software. Kinect is new technology but use the same concept eyetoy already had. Which is allright.

Kinect hasn't exactly proven itself better then wii's party games though, and casuals don't like to spend alot or own multiple consoles, so the fact that wii already owns the market makes it doubtful that people are going to go out and get kinect unless they really buy into MSes BS marketing

Better?!?!?! How could they possibly be worse? Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are the biggest piece of craps I ever played. I sold them and bought some real games.

I don't know why you consider MS's marketing BS. Oh right, you're bias and think everything they do is crap. No point in debating that with you.

No I consider MSes marketing campaign BS because only 2 of their Kinect games work right so far and those have issues, and thats on a stage not to mention all they do is BS in their marketing, and the fact half of it is outright lies (kinect being new tech and all that bull even though the PS eye and a wii game that comes with a webcam beat them too it)

A computer with 20 TB of ram can do things that a computer with 256 mbs can't, it doesn't mean that the ram is new tech, it's just more of or more refined old tech so you might want to check your logic considering the things that kinect can do that the eye toy can't (or rather can't do as well) is because of the 2ed camera

How is a second camera new tech?

Do you know another device having Kinect hardware and software? Hence a new tech. 2 Cam by itself isnt but when put together to do that it is.

Well here's the thing. The 256MB and 20TB of RAM actually do the same thing. They store data.

You could say the NES and Xbox 360 are the same because both play games. But clearly one has far more capabilities and potential than the other.

Hence, the Kinect has far more capabilities and potential than the Eyetoy. The Kinect will do things that a simple webcam was never designed to do.

By that logic almost every update sony makes the ps3 is new tech in the same way kinect is new tech as in not really
