  • Wow, you’re just trying to stir up shit, huh?

    Let me quote myself so you can see just how terrible your reading comprehension is.

    We need to work together on a global scale to hold countries accountable for what their citizens do on the internet.

    Did I mention barring anyone from the internet? Nope. Sure didn’t. What I said was that countries need to be held accountable for what their citizens do on a global scale when it comes to the internet just like they are in any other situation. I’m not saying only other counties. I’m not saying only African countries. So, please, take your bullshit and go feed it to someone else, because I don’t have the patience for it.


  • When we created the internet we achieved global unity, but we just… stopped. There is no NATO for cybercrimes. We can’t punish across borders, and we can’t rely on countries where cybercrime is a not insignificant portion of their economy to do the right thing. At this point the best we can do is bar the doors and keep children and other vulnerable people off the internet, but that is hardly a proper solution. We need to work together on a global scale to hold countries accountable for what their citizens do on the internet. If we don’t, we might as well just pull the plug on it, because this shit has only been getting worse.
















  • The only way I can see mass adoption of Macs as gaming hardware is if Apple takes the walled garden approach to gaming a forces a tiered system so that Macbook A will run games with a developer preset for that particular Macbook series. Then they have the same for desktops. I can’t see Apple letting consumers take control of the visual settings in any significant way, because they would have to hire a full time staff just to deal with all of the Mac users that call in wondering why the latest EA game runs like ass on their new $5000 Mac. They’d be better off taking the Nintendo approach with curated games developed with Macs and certain settings in mind, and if they are going that far, they may as well buy a few studios for exclusives (which will inevitably get cracked and distributed to PC).
