Jessica Alba, what a whore.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

"Microsoft has struggled to make headway in the smartphone market, holding just 3.5% of the worldwide market, compared to 68% for Google Inc's Android devices and 1% for Apple's iPhone, according to tech research firm IDC."

I don't pretend to know all smartphones nor the worldwide market, but isn't 1% such a low number that it must be a mistake ?

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

O man, Windows 8 is gonna suck so bad. It's unavoidable. History has already spoken.

Decent starts then it seems, now to see if they can keep the momentum going.

Windows 7 apperantly sold 90 million copies/licenses in its first 4 months.

I think they are talking JUST the iPhone and not iOS. However, that is stupid as it should include iOS as it calls out all Android devices. Unless its just counting Android phones.. then it may be right. But I'd still think just iPhones are much higher than 1%. Maybe closer to 20%.
