So when a steering wheel is an ovalesque shape versus a standard round shape it's still "exactly the same" for racing drivers because it's still roughly the same general layout, right?
Whereas that is a good observation, certain things, like say the preference of a gear shift on the floor of the car versus the side of the steering wheel are very large differences that people would always have a preference for.

Preference in layout will be preference, but he was stating that tweaks in size and shape won't change people's reaction to it because the layout is the same. (Case in point look at how many people that claim to have loved the 360 controller in the past, say that the size of the XBOne one is a step back - basically every reviewer I saw that is pro-PS4 controller rates them in PS4 > 360 > XBOne > PS3 in descending order - almost universally of the reviews I've seen these people loathed the PS3 controller [I like it myself but my hands are as tiny as you'll find on a white man outside of circus acts probably] but yet their preference this gen was reversed with no layout change on either system)

Microsoft and their Long Con.

Let me preface this by saying I took a 10 mg Ambien a little while ago, and my thoughts are not entirely my own right now. The letters that I'm typing are literally dancing up and down on this screen. Something is unusual.

Anyway, onto the long con. Microsoft is pulling the con, but I think another American company has the real reigns of this con.

Let's go with the facts first. These facts are all about Xbox One. Microsoft rather ballsally showed off the XBone with the assumption that all of the current xbox 360 addicts would pledge their soul to MS just to have one. That line didn't really work out that well, so they began the great back pedal of '13.

Next thing we know, Microsoft is kicking out the boss. The spot is ready for taking if just such an individual were to appear.

Finally, the Xbox, despite all of it's backpedals, is STILL having a release shortage.

All of the above statements seem similar to another big US company. One that happens to rival MS directly for their bread and butter.
My conclusion that APPLE is somehow in control of Microsoft. While Steve Jobs has died, maybe they pulled this Ray Kurzweld theory into existence where a computer program is now Jobs and is using his knowledge of everything to take over computers for everyone.

Robo-Jobs will be the new CEO of Microsoft, while also still having a hand in Apple.
It just makes so much sense. MS has been doing nothing but apple type strategys this console release, and it shows.

MACROSOFT!

fuck, what am I writing about now? I just blinked and opened my eyes again and I forgot my last thought process. In other words, my bed is moving all around, like I'm on a raft in a pool. How's it doing that anyway?

Ambien is awesome.ee

Meh, the Xbox does something similar. Anytime you purchase something off Amazon the xbox wakes up, downloads ads from its servers based on what you bought, replaces game textures with the ads and then put the console back to sleap.

Good thing it's not a Xbone feature. Everyone would be bitching about MS turning on the console to spy!!

Here's a newly unveiled PS4 feature.
http://bgr.com/2013/08/30/playstatio...e-integration/

If you ever purchase a game for the PS4 while using the Vita or a mobile app, it'll automatically wake your PS4 console, download and install the game, then put the console back to sleap.
Neat.
That's not technically new - they mentioned it during the reveal or something, I've known about that feature a while now.

Xar - if you play any MMO's - or any game for that matter with a WoW/EQ style inventory where you can see lines of stats and icons for gear all at the same time - stare at that next time you take ambien. That shit is craaaaaaaaaaazy
