  • The ONE GUY in this thread who gets it. Consumers want to go online. They want to browse the web. Watch youtube. Go to facebook. Check their G-Mail.

    Thats about it.

    Everyone else in this thread is like responding from the perspective of “Will Android as a desktop OS work FOR YOU?”

    And that’s not what’s being asked here. What’s being asked is if this would work for the masses.

    In the 1940s, Japan underestimated the USA. They sent spies to look at Pearl Harbor months before the attack. They reported home with real accurate information. Their mistake was NOT intel gathering. They had the right correct information.

    The mistake was thinking that USA used their navy vessles in the same way Japan did. Japan ran small efficient crews. Fast, efficient, stealthy. But small.

    So when Japan got their intel on how the USA was operating they estimated the number of navy forces based on real data, but estimated the number of human forces based on their own policy. They miscalculated how many navymen were in service by 800%.

    So they made the same mistake people in this thread are doing. Assuming others would apply the same line of thinking and way of doing something that they would.

    When in reality, there are 8 billion different individual people on this planet right now. And with that comes 8 billion different ways to think.

    Most people won’t pass over an Android OS just because the file structure or privacy settings aren’t to YOUR liking.






  • Super Mario Bros 3 is better than any other game at being Super Mario Bros 3. And I kinda like that. I think it’s neat. I like that I can just play the same game I played when I was 7. Same exact game. Compare that to today, and if your game from today is even playable at all in 30 years, it’s likely going to have changed so much over the coarse of it’s life through updates, that there is no singular version of how to have memories of that game. Maybe you remember a game early in it’s life, and don’t remember some big unpopular update that ruined everything. OR maybe you started playing that game AFTER the big update, and that’s how you feel nostalgic for that game, even if you can admit it’s flaws. And both versions of how you can remember that game would be valid.

    But not Super Mario Bros 3. It is pixel for pixel exactly the game I played as a kid. Always will be. Plus, it’s Super Mario Bros 3. So that helps.
