Alright so people can have an avatar with a PS3 being burned to hell (fazz), and they can have a signature with a guy peeing on a microsoft logo basically screaming flame bait, but they cant have a signature making a joke out of the wii's fanbase just like those guys made a joke of the other console's respective fanbases?

Am I the only one seeing things wrong?

I think the problem with Manos is that it's disrespectful to the mentally handicapped. That said, I think the others should also be banned/removed since they're obvious flamebait, as well as this thread.

OT: I guess getting owned = making ridiculous amounts of $$$$

Oh so only one company per business category is allowed to be considered "doing well" or succeeding. I coulda sworn you didn't have to be in first to be doing well. And I'm pretty sure second place (even if you demolished all the lower participants) is a pretty high regard in any race.

You don't HAVE to be knocking on #1's doorstep to be doing well. Just a thought.

Let's see:

The best they've done outside of Windows/Office is a distant second place, they've made virtually no money, and all they've managed to do is best competitors who aren't doing that well to begin with.

I don't know about you, but if I were in a race with two other people, and I ended up in 2nd place 5 laps behind the 1st place racer and a few fractions of a second ahead of the 3rd place racer, I wouldn't be too happy.

Except in that race they were a fraction ahead of the olympic champion and world record holder and they didn't make the semis in the previous olympics. Its the world champion who should be pissed, no?

Tease.

Exactly. Some people are just way too pessimistic.

Microsoft still owns the world when it comes to operating systems. I wouldn't fault them for trying to get some of the action in the mp3, search engine, and gaming businesses. More money for them
