Gold (COMEX:GCZ13) reversed sharply to the downside at the start of September through the rising trend line of a corrective channel. That's an important signal for a change in trend, which means that bearish price action is now back in view that could accelerate to the downside in the next few weeks if we consider possibly completed flat correction in wave 2 around $1,360. A fall and daily close beneath $1,270/$1,250 region will be important sing for a wave 3 down in progress back to $1,180.
GOLD 4h – Wave (i) Near Completion
Gold has sold off very sharply in this week so we adjusted the wave count that shows a fifth leg down now, final leg in wave (i) from $1,361 peak. If we are correct then price will bottom around $1,360, at 161.8% extension level of wave i) measured from wave ii) high.
Elliott Wave Education : Flat correction
A Flat is a three-wave pattern labeled A-B-C that generally moves sideways. It is corrective, counter-trend and is a very common Elliott pattern.
Running Flat
• structure is 3-3-5
• wave B terminates well beyond the beginning of wave A as in an expanded flat
• wave C fails to travel its full distance, falling short of the level at which wave A ended
• appears in wave two or four in an impulse, wave B in an A-B-C, wave X in a double or triple zig-zag, or wave Y in a triple threes

A Black Nerd puts Wii U haters and hardcore gamers in their place.
Andre Meadows of Black Nerd Comedy may be a Nintendo Ambassador and fanboy, but he still loves the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. However, he constantly sees 360/PS3 fanboys and "hardcore gamers" bash Nintendo and its new console the Wii U... a lot of them doing it without even trying it! So "Black Nerd" fights back in the name of Nintendo.
lol, there's this place called outside by the way, it's really nice, its got like sun and stuff.. XD
LooooL this guy is AWESOME, SUBBED to him instantly
Thanks so much for subscribing to my channel!
@BlackNerd- I agree with pretty much all your points. Although, me not wanting to buy a Wii U has more to do with the lack of appeal Nintendo exclusives have to me as opposed to me "hating" on it or not being able to afford it. I would be interested in playing Bayonetta 2, but as of right now, I see nothing that justifies the purchase of a Wii U.
Even if your a diehard Nintendo fan, why not wait until the inevitable Zelda, SSBB, Donkey Kong, and Metroid titles come out to buy a Wii U...at possibly a lower price point? I never understood the whole mad dash to buy a console at launch when its at its most expensive and has its crappiest games.
There are MANY legitimate reasons to criticize the Wii U. Meager hard drive space out of the box, lack of an optical audio drive, having to buy the pro controller for shooters and fighting games since the gamepad isn't ideal for those who take these genres seriously, barely more powerful than the PS3/360 etc. Its fine for u to call out the haters, but also understand that not all criticisms are hate.
lol awesome indeed, he sounds like my comments on n4g.
To be fair, there is a difference between "hardcore" gamers and "core" gamers. While you would think one is derived from the other. That is only partially correct.
Hardcore was coined from the idea of a gamer being so dedicated that they essentially played anything and game related. Be it puzzle or shmup or sports or platform types of games. It was an obsession for that gamer to be as versed in everything gaming as possible.
Sadly, there aren't many like that anymore. That designation you had to earn in the gaming community. For several years now that classification has been replaced by a new one. The "core" which actually is a self proclaimed title by those who feel they can be called that due to the genre of games more so than the amount.
Since the age of the FPS, new players think that by playing these shooters or violent action games or any online based competitive game they are automatically given this title.
That is the problem with younger generation gamers. An entitlement issue that has skewed their way of thinking. They won't acknowledge the existence of other opinions when it comes to what is a game and will look down on those who do not share the Sam pov as them.
There are a few of the original "hardcore" still out there. We are older and have a more sense of respect and can be entertained by the latest action or shooter as much as even the simplest puzzle game.
I say this because the hardcore don't necessarily want to be associated with these "core" because it is them and their attitude towards games systems and others that make it look bad for the rest of us that just want to enjoy this industry.
Not saying that's your overall point or tactic Blacknerd ... but i'm tired of the recurrent sophistry and "laissez faire" attitude and defense we see for a bunch of game items and game related subjects . especially the "if you dont like it just dont buy it" variety
As commercials products they all deserves sound criticism of their pros and cons , and if fans can't handle the truths or perceived truths about it , they should heed their own crap and ignore what they deems hostile against said products .
A lot of die hard Nintendo fans needs to grow a thicker skin, or better yet realize that criticism you don't necessarily feel the same about still has merit.
It's really getting a bit ridiculous. The logic I'm seeing most times is just... pitiful
Many of the people criticizing the Wii U grew up with Nintendo. If you are over the age of 20 and play on consoles, chances are you grew up with the NES and/or SNES. Classifying people who feel that Nintendo has made a lot of oversights with a 2012 console as "nothing but haters" is really immature.
Loved the video... you make a lot of good points. There are a lot of detractors when it comes to any console manufacturer or game publisher. It's just part of being successful... you're gonna have haters. It happens in every entertainment medium.
One thing that pisses me off though is if a person has a legitimate concern or criticism, they are burned at the stake by fanboys. I spent $600 on day 1 buying Wii U, games and accessories. I'm kinda let down because Nintendo didn't implement a trophy/achievement system especially since Miiverse is the perfect vehicle for such a system and Reggie said "We'll have all that" when referencing trophies/achievements on Wii U. I'm also concerned at the level of censoring Nintendo is doing on Miiverse and on their Facebook page. I agree that most people are just being stupid hypocrites with their complaints, but some criticism is good for Nintendo and gamers. If we just roll on our bellies every time Nintendo does something we don't like, and do not put some pressure on them to make the best console, games and online community, then we miss out on something great. Nintendo "fans" (I hate to use such general terms) are the worst when it comes to attacking those who constructively criticize the company and they perform a disservice to the gaming community as a whole because of it.
Since you have so much influence in the Nintendo community, would you please ask Nintendo point blank why Reggie said "We'll have all that" when asked about a trophy/achievement system in an E3 interview with GTTV? When anyone asks the question, they get attacked by rabbid Nintendo fans that say "achievements are stupid"... I don't care if they're stupid or not... I care that Nintendo said "We'll have all that", and they're nowhere to be found aside from being able to post to Miiverse when a player performs a certain accomplishment in NSMBU. Your argument for giving Nintendo credit for what they have done with Wii U is only valid if you're willing to criticize when they do something wrong.
I know it sounds redundant but your criticisms can also be criticized. When someone points out something wrong with your criticism, it should be heeded just like the original criticism to the subject itself. That's how civil debates work.
"That is the problem with younger generation gamers. An entitlement issue that has skewed their way of thinking."
Yes, because older gamers don't have entitlement issues at all.
I agree with most of what you are saying, but to imply that older gen gamers are all (or mostly) true gamers (the ones who enjoy all genres of gaming)and all or most younger gamers are just self centered entitled brats who think themselves superior to other gamers because they play violent games/shooters is a huge generalization and simply not true.
I've seen just as many older gamers put down other peoples opinions as I have younger gamers, and just as many entitled older gamers as I've seen younger gamers.
It would be absolutely stupid to believe that this is simply a generational thing. This is an individual personality thing.
Being an entitled/ignorant a*hole has no age limit, and is not more common in either group of gamer, be it young or old.
Sun? What's this "sun" you speak of? Can I eat it?
Well done : )
Black Chad Warden doesn't consider the real issues.
For one, the large update. It's hell on the basic system's internal HDDs. No, I don't care if YOU have a 2TB external harddrive, some of us want our saves on the internal harddrive and have little to no plans of buying large DD games. We don't all want tumors attached to our systems to have all of our saves by the end of the generation on our system. By the size, it was clearly an important part of the final OS - they should have had it on the Wii U in the first place.
@Gimmicks stuff
The 360 and Ps3 weren't built AROUND the Kinect and Move, however. In MANY reviews, they have found the interface to be slower using the gamepad, as opposed to something like the D-pad.
@Old titles
Uhhh, yeah, he really doesn't make ANY real points there. People just don't feel the need to buy a new system when the main attractions are old games. And he compares collection packs with late ports? http://www.youtube.com/watc...
It's easy to be arrogant when you ignore the actual issues. All this guy does is make irrelevant arguments and use a whiny mock voice.
I'm deaf, so I can't comment on the video per se, but I wanted to counterpoint your arguments:
1. The update isn't THAT large. It's only a bit more than 1 GB in size, not the 5 GB that almost everyone erroneously reported. Although I'll happily aknowledge the fact that it definitely would've been better if it had all those features ready at launch, instead of being put in a day-one update. But precisely because it's not that big, it's also not a big issue, and hardly a deal breaker for the system.
As for hard drives, if Nintendo included a large internal hard drive from the start, it would've ramped the cost of the console even further, and we would've gotten less internal space than what we could buy outside with that extra money. Calling it a "tumor" is a bit ridiculous, because the Wii U console itself is ridiculously small, and you can just plug the hard drive on the back of it, and nobody will see it.
2. Interface slower using the gamepad? Can you point me a review where it states that? Because, as a Wii U owner, I can attest that's not true at all. The data streaming from console to gamepad is instantaneous. The interface works exactly at the same speed with the gamepad as it does with using a Wii Remote, and it's actually much faster to tap things on the screen than to navigate them with a normal controller. Oh, and the gamepad has d-pads, too. I don't understand what you're talking about here.
3. Old titles and ports: the Xbox 360 and PS3 had a lot of ports in their launch lineups, but somehow it seems Wii U doesn't have the right to do the same without being heavily criticized for it. And never mind the actual original content, of which there's quite a lot: Scribblenauts, Zombi U, Mario Bros U, Nintendo Land, etc. Oh, and some of these ports aren't exactly old, namely Assassin's Creed, Sonic All Stars Racing, Black Ops 2.
All that you said was fine and dandy. SUN!
Yet I'm really liking having my 10 games on a harddrive! You get a message and bammmm you can start playing! No getting up to put a game in! I'm a big fan of disk based software but I'm loving the option to install and launch with out a disk. It is a very pc like freedom.
Omg is the gyro accurate in zombi u and black ops along with Nintendo land. It is way beyond motion plus... It really isn't a gimmick if it works that damn good!
Plus while I'm playing the old wii thur the wiiu I can even adjust the sound from the game pad. Or while I'm playing the wiiu.
While is this console going to make us all fatasses! LoL.
Zombi u has a minecraft feel too it except it is pure survival. You can shut and barricade doors?
It's so good to see the wiiu in final form. To tell you the truth many where still in the dark about many things that would be included in the final system.
The wii emulation has a very emulated look to it... As though the resolution could be changed. Some things are smoothed over while others render as if they where on a pc, interesting.
Powerwise? Gpgpu are a beast at some things. Even Sony is thinking about using one. If Xbox does have sixteen core it will be in the same boat.
Unless they all use an i3 intel chip! Ms has a bad taste in their mouth from that and Sony got raped by nvidia. That leaves arm, IBM, and amd the masters of open cl lol.
This development will actualy make more developers use direct x11 on pc instead of direct x9. If Sony abandons gpgpu computing the programming gurus will jump ship. Oops.
@ SilentNegotiator
So tell us, how large are the save files?
Nintendo is trying to keep the cost down. They don't want to release a $500 or $600 game console. We see time and again storage issues. From the Xbox 360 and not all of them having hard drives, to paying $100 for minimal upgrades in the iPhone and iPad, the Playstation Vita, Even the PS3 and it's original 20GB model was a pain considering how many games require a partial install.
We don't know how limited the hard drive will be on the Wii U unless someone can tell me how many games require large portions of hard drive space to play. I just like the fact they support outside party hard drives. Something Microsoft still doesn't do.
There is simply a lot of negativity surrounding Nintendo, some legit and some not. What is noticeable is a lot of it comes from people who have yet actually spent a great deal of time with it.
@ scissor_runner
You sayin that you can install the your games and play them without having to put the disk in ?! or were you talking about DD ?!
He is 100% right. As a 360/PS3 owner, I think the hate on Nintendo is petty and childish. If it doesn't interest you, fair enough. Nothing wrong in that, but to go into every WiiU article, hating and repeating the same tired crap again and again is just plain sad. Those doing that need to find something to do in life as they've clearly got issues.
I'm still getting a WiiU. It looks great. I'll also pick up Sony/MS' next gen offerings too. All this crap about "but, but it's not powerful enough" doesn't mean a damn thing to me.
you could say the same thing about those that go into every article praising Nintendo like a blind sheep from left to right. Everybody sees things differently and have different opinions that's a rule from life.
Yeah, you're right. But there's a line. When you start going into every PS3/360/WiiU article, just to trash it (Mika) then those people need to find something better to do.
I'm not against people having different opinions, just those who repeat their opinions blindly in every single Sony/MS/Nintendo article here.
It's one of the reasons why the open zone needs to return on N4G.
Actually I don't see a lot of fanboys, just haters.
The people referred to as fanboys are the ones pointing out that we still don't know squat, and the information used to bash the Wii U is dubious at best and full of holes. Hardly fanboys.
There are SOME of course. But for the most part we have the reality brigade against the haterade. With a few sprinkles of fanboys on top.
Fact is we don't know what the bandwidth is of the ram. We don't know it's timings or actual clock speed. We don't know it's latency based on the setup of the console. We don't know the eDRAM, how much is in it. The combined bandwidth of all these things combined.
We don't know much beyond 7XXX GPU.
We don't know much about the CPU.
We have devs that haven't done one line of code on the Wii U bashing it as weak, whereas those that actually have, love it.
We have haters taking all this dubious info and proclaiming it as fact. Using launch titles and more specifically launch title ports developed around the 360 as supposed PROOF of it, even though we know such factors hold newer systems back every time.
You have many of the haters no aware of the limitations that Sony and MS are facing with their new consoles and thinking it's going to be some uber beast that can strangle an abominable snowman while kicking a bigfoot's butt. Those factors...power required (<300 watts versus 700-1500 in PC's)...heat...cost of components...space...diminishi ng returns...reliability...not wanting to lose money per console...add in's like Kinect 2 and hand manipulator (let alone a tablet controller).
So no, it's mostly haters based on fiction versus the people waiting for facts. Again with a few pro fanboys on top.
At some point all these things will be answered and be facts....but for right now, they aren't. Anyone that says otherwise is being foolish.
he's black and he's a nerd... whats so hard to understand ?
Fanboys have really been on the offensive against the "hate" lately....especially after DICE, 4A, and the warriors dev had their say. That caused an amazing tantrum.
Sorry, Nerd, but the large update should have shipped on the systems and furthermore it takes up a large chunk of the basic system's 8GB internal HDD.
You sound like Chad Warden.
Not everyone wants to save to an external tumor when there's an internal HDD. 1/8th isn't significant? 8GB is already cutting in pretty close.
"Sorry, Nerd, but the large update should have shipped on the systems and furthermore it takes up a large chunk of the basic system's 8GB internal HDD. "
I was thinking the exact same thing. It's not a deal breaker for me, but Miiverse and everything else in that update should have been there from day 1 in the OS.
"...but the large update should have shipped on the systems and furthermore it takes up a large chunk of the basic system's 8GB internal HDD."
But that's the thing, it doesn't. The update was roughly 1GB, which I don't really see as being a "large" chunk of an 8GB system (which by the way has multiple ports for an external HDD). I'm all for opinions, but at least get the facts straight.
The update wasn't shipped on the console because they were still working on things such as Miiverse and eShop etc. And the only reason 'fanboys' are on the offensive is because of Sony/MS fanboys unreasonably bashing the new console constantly, when 90% of the time the things they're saying about the Wii U are incorrect.
If they were still working on them, then the console wasn't ready to be released.
I love Nintendo, but there is no excuse for that 1GB update.
i'm sorry but this kind of thing shouldn't be worked on like that .
First where was the last time i had to download a +1 System update for a console ? Never
i know big patches exist but something so huge for a system ? really ?
Second ..Working on things is alright , then they should have used a partial patch update ..the patch was huge for no reason .. from phone , to game consoles ( apple, android devices, vita , ps3 , 360 and the list goes on ) partial system updates are something that should be common for a 2012 device.
Third .. they didn't anticipate the massive amount of users on their services ( resulting on the long update time ) another reason why their entire update process was amateurish .
i won't even comment on nintendo leaving a debug/test version of their tools accesible for the public ... they just forgot !!
That's so professionnal... so nobody can't complain about them ..because they did nothing wrong , right /s ?
As a programmer specialized in networks , the amount of thing they failed to take into account is just too huge to give them a free pass.
He mention only trilogies. Yet The last Of Us and beyond are coming next year. And we are not even on to ps4 yet.
At least one company still invested in current core gamers with new IP's even in bad times.
what about wii or 360 last year to this year?
I'll stop hating on the wiiU. I really would buy one though. maybe in 3 years.
Also why is comparing mario to trilogies?
Trilogy = 3 games.
Mario = 3000 games.
3000 trilogy? idk what to call it..
he forgot dragon dogma, dishonored
Of course nobody is that stupid to launch a new IP for christmas ... but new IPs are still made
But hey ..nintendo did "nintendoland" an IP that run on nintendo nostalgia ...it's an ok game , but it sure isn't what wii sports was when the wii launched.
At least there is Zombie U...
Man, your arm must be hurting with all of that grasping.
While those games do indeed exist, I think the point is that other major publishers put a great deal of focus on sequels and therefor Nintendo is not alone in the guilt of 'rehashing'.
It would of been funnier if Kenan and Kel did this
"Wii U Haters"
But no seriously, I think this "hater" thing has went to far, it's like everyone with a negative opinion now is a "hater".
The reason most negative opinions are being seen as hating is because most of them are using lies to back up why they don't like the system.
But I meant in everything though, not just with the Wii U
Take dmc for example, we have solid reasons why we don't like the game yet were labeled "haters" by people who do like the game.
For the Wii U, even if you state something which is pretty much true like "The Wii U isn't future proof" or "It will loose third party support in the future".....BAM, you called a hater. I'd understand if you said something like "The Wii U SUCKS"...."Nintendo are a crap company" but other things can just be counted as opinions rather then being a hater.
Losing 3rd party support isn't 'pretty much true'.
That's another guess, and not one that is backed up by further scrutiny.
PS3/360 can run 'next-gen' engines, which means the Wii U (and unless the total amount of ram needed is finally exceeded) then even the 360/PS3 can run 'next-gen' games. Just not at their fully glory.
So no, seeing how the Wii U doesn't have the ram problem, and it can easily run the next gen engines, like Cryengine 3, Frostbite 2, and other things, then yes, there is no real reason to believe it will have 3rd party support pulled.
Remember Metro 2033 doesn't even run well on a GTX 680 when you turn up the DX11 options, and the guy that made that engine is probably the worst person to ask. He also hasn't done a single thing on the Wii U hardware, so he's guessing.
@Jinkies, I'm not up on all things DMC, but the only reason I've heard for people bashing that game is that Dante doesn't look the same as he did in the other games. That's it, because that's all that's really been shown and no-one knows how it plays.
How exactly is that a "solid" reason?
As for the Wii U not being future proof....so what? No seriously, so what? The 360 and PS3 were both outdated upon release. The Wii even more so, didn't hold it back from selling 20 million more consoles than either system, and 200 million more games. No console is future proof by design, they can't be upgraded and the PC is always generations ahead.
That's why Nintendo look towards offering different experiences rather than getting into a graphical arms race that will cost them money. They're not like MS and Sony, they strictly do games. They don't have other divisions propping the company up to enable them to lose money on everything.
As for losing third party support in the future, there's no evidence of that other than how things went for the Wii, and the situation is markedly different now.....It's been less than a week on sale. And that's before we even get into the matter of the big draw of a Nintendo machine being the Nintendo developed titles.
Frankly, a lot of these concerns are ones which simply don't matter to the majority of people...seemingly only to those searching for reasons to back up their decision not to buy one.
" I'm not up on all things DMC, but the only reason I've heard for people bashing that game is that Dante doesn't look the same as he did in the other games. "
Not true at all . But like you said you are not up on all things DmC . People advanced many fears and reasons behind their initial dislike of the game . Sure it started with the look of the hero , but never stopped there with more details abunding about the game over time .
But obviously not many of the fans , of the new game , and most of all the press actually could argue their case , so they'd retorted to the tactics of playing the ostrich , heads buried in sands and chanting LALALA loudly .
Only conveniently seeing or acknowledging grievances about the look , and dismissing the rest .
Of course been the case with all of them , some had very good arguments and something to say , even if i completely disagree with them , but those were very few .
"but the only reason I've heard for people bashing that game is that Dante doesn't look the same as he did in the other games. That's it, because that's all that's really been shown and no-one knows how it plays."
Take a look around and read the comments, that hair/looks thing was the first complaint when the game was annoucned since then a ton more complaints have been talked about. Honestly the only people who say it's just because of the hair thing are the ones who like dmc and want to try and counter the arguments of the so called haters.
I miss Kenan and Kel :(
Dammit Nickelodeon... Why you no release DVD Boxsetz???
Depends on the complaint. It also depends on the attitude.
For example, I think it's hypocritical that the 360 launched with 20GB or none at all depending on the model (with no option for non-proprietary storage at launch), whereas Nintendo is launching a new console with 8GB to 32GB with the option of a variety of HDDs at launch.
Another issue I have is when people take otherwise inconclusive or speculative information and roll with it as 100% factual. The recent issues regarding the CPU are primarily based on hearsay; the words of developers who are otherwise inexperienced with the hardware.
What about the PS3's cell? Suddenly the devs (Valve anyone?) who hated the PS3's architecture don't matter?
This really is nothing new. Media and fanboys thrive on doom articles, especially new consoles. When PS4 releases this will be nothing compared to the doom articles it will get. It could make toast, but someone out there will complain that butter doesn't come with it.
I don't understand why people are quick to say everyone with legit complaints are "Wii U Haters"..The console has some issues just like any other piece of hardware and people have the right to speak about them as please.
No it's people mixed in with it all, or they are trying on one hand to have legit complaints....but then drawing conclusions based on bs.
So it's muddy. But people have to analyze the sources, and the realities of the situation. You can't infer bandwidth from reading the SKU off a ram chip and reading what a PC would have roughly speaking if it had that chip in it.
You also can't go off devs that haven't done squat on the console...especially when ones that HAVE love it.
Also people are judging the game through 360 ports and launch titles and claiming...even if they are ports they should run better.
Not really.
Because if in the code is still only makes use of 512 mb's, and doesn't account for the extra threads, or other features in the hardware, then the software port itself creates a bottleneck making the system look poorer than it is.
So there's lots of people claiming something is showing something definitive, when you look a little bit deeper, it really isn't.
Then you have some people who are doing that, but also adding haterade with it.
YES! This video is great, stop hating on Nintendo for daring to be different. Sony and Microsoft pretty much do the same thing with their consoles, Nintendo does things differently, how boring would gaming be if Nintendo did the exact same thing as Sony and MS?
i do wish nintendo could look at his opponents to not make stupid mistakes.
-not make updates so huge ?
-having third parties games that don't framedrop or tear ? ( providing updated dev tools to develloppers )
-not tying my nintendo ID to my console so that if my console dies , then i'm screwed ( you can't move between consoles )
3 basic examples of stupid mistakes their concurrents avoided and that nintendo totally ignored.
Nintendo is the only company that makes mistakes?
of course not , microsoft and sony make mistakes too ..but they had more than enough time to look at XBL & PSN to avoid those mistakes.
Sorry but Who can think that a 1gb update is a good idea ? Aside from nintendo of course ?/s
I went outside once. The graphics were amazing but the gameplay was horrible.
average update time for x360=15-20sec(1min-5min for full system updates) what about ps3? any1? not trying to be funny.just curious.
Ive seen some updates take a bit of time for the ps3.
I've had updates on the PS3 take upwards of 30 minutes due to the way it downloads and installs data...it seems to take longer than a 360 does. And they are nowhere near the size of the Wii U update.
The first update for the Wii U was a biggie, with a lot of features added. Subsequent updates will take a lot less time to complete.
It's a bummer if you just want to get straight into playing your new system, but if you want those features, it's a necessary one, and one Nintendo did warn people about in it's Direct videos. Besides, you can just jump straight in and play if you like and do the update afterwards.
more logic in this one video than in the last 15 wiiu hate articles I read on n4g... combined.
@jmc8889 FUCKIN THANK YOU DAMN YOU ARE SO RIGHT I DONT KNOW WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ASSUME THINGS LIKE ITS GKING TO HAPPEN WHEN THEY OBVIOUSLY DONT KNOW ANYTHING THESE DUMBASS PEOPLE ON THIS SITE AND MANY OTHERS SHOULD DO THEIR RESEARCH PERIOD
Enough said! good points! i have all systems and its funny how ppl argue, just play games and have fun! NOT every system is for anyone and we all play different experiences!
It's funny, but the majority of people who bought the Wii U will miss a lot of the negativity being spouted about it because they simply don't care about all that petty drivel, they just want to play some damn Nintendo.
Like it, don't like it...buying it, not touching it....I don't care, people need to get a bit of perspective before they commence to whining about stuff which is irrelevant to 95% of the consoles user base.
The 360 had a port of the PS2 game Gun...gee, that system must be terrible. The PS3 STILL suffers from porting issues from time to time....what a waste of time THAT system must be. The detractors need to get some perspective. If the machine is so worthless and going to fail and blah blah blah, why waste so much time and effort trawling articles to tell people that's so? Trying to convince yourselves?
"It's funny, but the majority of people who bought the Wii U will miss a lot of the negativity being spouted about it because they simply don't care about all that petty drivel, they just want to play some damn Nintendo.
Says you . Plenty owners are complaining about minor issues and bigger ones , just like they did with other consoles . Doesnt mean they hate the system nor aint having fun . They are just legimitate customers with legimitate concerns .
This is exactly the kind of crap people talked about and in other threads , when they mention folks having a "with or against us" attitude .
And imo people without the console yet , adoring it this much without even a leg to stand upon , arent coming off better looking than someone likewise without it , but being skeptical and cautious .
Nintendo have nothing to worry about, it's sony there company has been downgraded to junk.
By Influential credit rating agency Fitch has downgraded Sony to "junk" status.
Ok let's put aside the power debate of the WiiU, instead let's talk about all the problems this system has & lacks.
1. No reset button, when games/apps freeze up no matter how long you hold the power button in you can't power the system off only by unplugging it from the power cord. Unlike the PS3 you simply push the power and it shuts off
(slim ver.), fat's also had the ability to reset the system by holding down the power/reset button for 3-5 seconds or you could power the PS3 off from the back switch. Bottomline this is dangerous for little kids to unplug their system from a wall socket every time a game/ app freezes, it's plain stupid on Nintendo's part and many potential bricks and injury(god forbid electrical deaths) lawsuits could arise.
2. Slow loading from app to app from the handful that are there, it's pathetic that Sony's Vita a HANDHELD does it very smooth but a supposed next gen system greets you with a loading delay.
3. Where are the Video/Photo/Music folders at I can't rip cd's to the system like PS3, I can't import/save/organize Photos like PS3, I can't download movies or import them from another hard drive like PS3, I can't browse the web while listning to music or have custom soundtracks play in games like I do with my Vita or PS3, I can't watch any of my large dvd collection like PS3. Hell I can even hook up a damn printer to my PS3.
4. External hard drive don't try to spin it, it's beyond stupid to have an internal hard drive in the WiiU when you can't simply take it out and upgrade instead you have to expose, plug in to another wall socket a hard drive. That's 3 items for 1 freakin system that require a power source(system,controller,hard drive) Beyond stupidity right there from Nintendo.
5. No ethernet port, you know very well a wired connection is better than a wireless one, couldn't Nintendo do what the other consoles logically do and build one in. Oh no cheap ass Nintendo wants you to go out and by 1 and plug it in to another usb port.
It's pretty sad when my Vita a (portable) does pretty much everything better in regards to apps, and touch screen features. So besides the web browser, miiverse and slightly bigger screen Vita trumps what Nintendo's(console) does. And not to mention the PS3 which is 6 years old and still has more features available. Then there's your Mii being the only option for your online profile instead of a favorite game avatar like you get with PS3/360. I'll just say this besides the new pad controller which I like btw, the WiiU feels like I was thrown back in time pre-PS3,360.
1. people complain day 1 updates for everything. be it games or hardware. when people buy something they just want to use it. especially on the very first day of release. no it's not the end of the world, but it is a legitimate complaint. no one(that ive heard) is saying to never update a console.
2. people complaining about waiting are just excited to use their new system. i would think these people are pro Nintendo. i don't get why arguee with them when, it seems, you are trying to go after other fanboy groups just talking bs.
3. Nintendo and 3rd partys need to show us the Wii pad is more than a gimmick. the screen is the WiiU's biggest selling point. a lot of people felt a little ripped off from the promises the Wii made, and almost never delivered on. bring in other console isn't a legitimate argument. people have, and do comploain about them, but i didn't think this was the discussion we where having.
4.gamers are looking for reasons to buy or not buy a WiiU right now. a lot of pro WiiU people where bring up its awesome launch line-up. others see that a lot of those games are ones they have already played, and don't seem to be running them as well as on other console. sure this will change down the road, but this is another good reason to at least hold off on buying a WiiU now.
5. 2 new NSMB in two months might be too much for some people. i don't know what to tell you. it is hard to argue against hypothetical peoples opinions.
6. agree, though i'm too sure how many people are making the argument. either way im right there with you on this point.
7. don't want to buy a WiiU right now, but if i knew someone who had it i would also want to try it. its called being a gamer. i still watch Halo reviews/quick looks, because it is a big deal in the gaming world. i don't even own a 360, and haven't enjoyed a Halo i've played since CE.
Thank you Black Nerd for this video and why a lot of people and even some fans on here who pretend to be nintendo fans but are not, for letting them have it, i mean for people who say wii u does not have games for me, oh Ninja Gaiden, or Zombie U, or Monster Hunter, or Bayonetta are not for you? But if Microsoft or Sony is their thing fine, but let me, and millions of others enjoy our Nintendo Wii U :)

A Dallas-area model and fashion blogger walked unassisted Monday for the first time since being severely injured walking into the propeller of a small airplane Dec. 3.
Lauren Scruggs, 23, of Plano lost her left hand in the accident, plus suffered head, brain and shoulder injuries from the plane propeller. She's in a Dallas hospital.
On Monday, Lauren's family wrote in their CaringBridge blog that she also was able to eat some of her favorite foods:
Praise the Lord, Lauren's pain is much more manageable today! Thank you so much for the prayers! She has been eating some of her favorite foods today, sweet potatoes and hard boiled eggs! Lauren was able to walk on her own today, such a miracle!
On Saturday, they wrote in the blog that she smiled:
Earlier in the week, we requested prayer for Lauren's facial nerve, and it appears prayers have been answered! Lauren is able to smile and lift both eyebrows on her own, such a miracle! Please continue to pray for this recovery, as well as her left eye. Lauren's sweet spirit continues to shine through every day, reminding us of the miracle that she is!

[I]t ... comes down to math... There is no mystery to getting in shape.
Noumenon said:
I think it's a complete mystery. As some magazine article I read pointed out, it's impossible to do controlled experiments with diet regimens because there's no proven way to lose weight and keep it off to use as a control group. We haven't a clue.
I said:
I agree that it's a mystery, but you can extract one truth: if you're still fat, you need to eat less. It doesn't matter why other people don't get fat when they seem to eat the same thing. Look at your own situation. If you're still fat, cut down. Eat less, and weigh yourself. Do it every day for the rest of your life. There's nothing wrong with you. It's just the natural impulse that allowed your ancestors to survive through famines. You have a healthy urge and a healthy body, but in times of affluence, that will make you fat. You've got to go against your nature and eat less. Until you're not fat any more. Or, as Roseanne Barr once said: "Just be fat and shut up."UPDATE: Some people are getting very upset at that Roseanne Barr quote -- which is from that great concert she did before she had her sitcom. It's almost as if people don't remember that she's a comedian... and that she's fat. Some folks are reading this post as insulting fat people and calling them lazy. Huh? Where is that? And many, many of the comments here and on other blogs are testament to how amazingly strong the mental defenses are. People simply do not want to face the fact that if they are fat they've been eating too much, which is all I said. It is utterly irrelevant to that point that some people can eat a lot more than others without getting fat or that if you'd exercise more you could get away with eating more. If you are fat, you are eating more than you need to fuel your body as you are using it. That doesn't mean it's easy to just eat less, and it doesn't mean that there aren't some ways of eating less that are better than others. But, good lord, it's absurd to keep denying that you're fat because you're eating too much!

Panel completes amending Egypt's constitution
CAIRO -- A mostly liberal panel has completed amending Egypt's constitution passed last year under now-ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, setting the stage for a national referendum seen as a key, but contentious step in the country's transition.
Egypt's interim government, installed by the military after it removed Morsi in July, is touting the new document as paving the way for a new political system it hopes will calm months of turmoil. If the charter is adopted in a referendum, the next steps will be parliamentary and presidential elections in the spring and summer of 2014.
But the referendum, likely in January, is expected to stoke protests by Islamist supporters of Morsi, who reject the post-coup government. The final draft of the amended constitution has also drawn opposition from some secular pro-democracy activists because it enshrines greater power for the military.
Authorities are hoping the new constitution will be approved in the referendum by a higher percentage and stonger turnout than the Morsi-era document, as a show of legitimacy of the post-coup system. The Morsi-era constitution, drafted by a panel dominated by Islamists, was passed in December 2012 with about 64 percent of the vote, but at lowly turnout rate of little more than 30 percent.
A 50-member panel appointed by the government completed voting clause by clause on the final draft late Sunday.
On Monday, members of the panel met in a televised session in which they lavished praise on the document and pledged to do more to help Egypt through its bumpy transition to democracy.
"It is now the right of every Egyptian to declare that this is their constitution," said Bishop Bola, the representative of the Coptic Orthodox Church on the panel.
Another member, veteran lawyer and head of the Bar Association Sameh Ashour said: "This constitution may not reflect the expectations of all Egyptians, but it is a safety valve for the revolution at this transitional phase."
The panel will now submit the draft to the interim president, Adly Mansour, who is to announce a date for the referendum.
The panel is dominated by secular-leaning figures. But it includes several Islamists, including one from an ultraconservative party, and representatives from Al-Azhar, Sunni Islam's foremost seat of learning, and Christian churches.
Mohammed Ibrahim Mansour, representative of the ultraconservative Nour party, said the document struck a good balance between the teachings of Islam and civil freedoms.
Activists from Tamarod, a youth movement that rallied millions of Egyptians demanding that Morsi step down ahead of the July coup, also sat on the panel, which held its final deliberations in private but the voting on Saturday and Sunday was televised live.
Mahmoud Badr of Tamarod said his movement will return to the streets to rally a "yes" vote on the new charter. Another member, film director Khaled Youssef, said the panel should now work as a body promoting national unity and working to safeguard the alliance of liberal and secular groups that supported Morsi's ouster.
The draft leaves uncertain which would be called first after its adoption -- the parliament elections or presidential election. It says only the first must be held within 90 days of its adoption, with the next within six months after.
The ambivalence is thought to be designed to give Mansour legal leeway to decide which to call first, though the original roadmap for the transition set by the military after Morsi's ouster called for parliamentary first.
The charter requires presidents to declare their financial assets annually, and empowers lawmakers to vote out an elected president with a two-third majority. It also bans parties founded on religion or sect and unequivocally states the equality of men and women. It also guarantees the rights of Egyptians with special needs and the elderly.
But it also leaves the military with unfettered freedom to choose the country's defense minister from within its ranks and grants him immunity for two, four-year presidential terms.

Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp (THSRC,
"Considering public perceptions and concerns, I suggest the launch ceremony scheduled for Dec. 7 be postponed," THSRC executive director Ou Chin-der (
"We regret the conclusion but respect the committee's decision and will do our best to meet the requirements," Ou said.
On Tuesday, a high-speed railway inspection committee asked the THSRC to meet three terms and make improvements in 31 areas, including test the trains at intervals of less than 10 minutes for two weeks, complete a one month accident-free period following the minor accident that occurred last Friday, and integrate signaling systems with several other sub-systems.
The final call on the date of the launch ceremony, however, depends on THSRC's board, Ou said, adding that no date for a board meeting had been set. The official date for commercial operations, however, will be sometime next year, said Arthur Chiang (
Major issue
One major issue raised by the committee was the Independent Validation and Verification (IV&V) report conducted by Lloyd's Register Group.
The report identified 28 major defects to be improved on Nov. 4, but 21 of the defects had been resolved by Nov. 21.
The speed of this process triggered doubts among committee members.
Ou explained that THSRC had been working hard to rectify the indicated defects and sent the data to Lloyd's when the work was completed. As an independent validation and verification institution, Lloyd's makes its judgments based on the advice of a group of professionals from various fields and will not be biased, Ou said.
When asked why the committee members still considered those defects a problem, Vice Minister of Transportation and Communications Ho Nuan-hsuen (
Some members wanted to personally examine the problems, while others were fine with the test run records, Ho said.
Yang Yeong-bin (楊永斌), chairman of the inspection committee, said in a television interview that committee members complained that they had to collect data themselves to verify THSRC's statements.
Regarding the allegations that THSRC presented inaccurate Chinese translations of the IV&V report, Ho said that the company, the committee members and ministry officials had reached a consensus earlier that they would go by the original text, which was written in English.
Ho also said the ministry would hold the first supervisory meeting to plan the test run schedule for the following month.
The delay in operations will not heavily impact on THSRC's finances, as the company has a contingency plan, Chiang said, rejecting a Chinese-language media report that the company would see losses of NT$3.6 billion (US$110.77 million) because of the two month-delay.
Despite the delays, THSRC still expects to earn operational income in the second year of commercial operation, and break even within eight years, Chiang said.

Since June, Comet ISON has been hidden behind the Sun. Now an amateur imager has just recovered it low in the dawn — and it hasn't been brightening as much as we hoped. Don't bet on a great naked-eye spectacle this December.A couple weeks earlier than we expected, amateur imager Bruce Gary in Arizona has become the first person to pick up Comet ISON again after its 2½-month intermission behind the glare of the Sun. Using an 11-inch scope pointing only 6° above the eastern dawn horizon, and by stacking images, he succeeded in recording a fuzzy point with an anti-sunward tail at Comet ISON's exact predicted position among stars that are as faint as magnitude 16. Measuring the image, Gary comes up with a total V magnitude of 14.3 ± 0.2 for the comet that is being so widely anticipated worldwide.
That's about 2 magnitudes fainter than the comet "should" be, compared to the formula that first led astronomers to predict it would become a grand naked-eye sight before dawn in early December. It's no improvement on the 2-magnitude deficit the comet was showing when astronomers last had good looks at it around the end of May.
Here is Gary's detailed and thorough report and analysis of his observation.
There too (at the bottom) are three new light-curve predictions for the coming months, based on three model formulas. The short version: the comet could still turn out to be fairly good, or it might never reach naked-eye visibility at all.
Sky & Telescope's longtime comet analyst John Bortle writes us:
ISON is currently about at the distance from the Sun where water ice sublimation would be expected to be taking over in the comet's photometric development. That the comet continues to appear as faint as it does implies that its intrinsic brightness (absolute magnitude) is low and that the nucleus is probably small and relatively inactive.
Past performances by dynamically "new" comets [newcomers to the inner solar system], as ISON has turned out to be, have typically been pretty lackluster. With very few exceptions, these comets brighten only very slowly [as they approach, after appearing promising when farther out].
In the lightcurve prediction graph presented by Scarmato, Morales and Gary, their green line corresponds to typical "new" comet behavior. Note that this suggests the comet's brightness barely ever breaks the naked-eye barrier, even at perihelion!
Further, if one accepts anything like the green line's absolute magnitude of +9.73 for the comet, then ISON has no chance of surviving its perihelion, based on my paper "Post-Perihelion Survival of Comets with Small q" (International Comet Quarterly, Vol. 13, No. 3, July 1991).
So... things are looking ever more bleak for chances of any grand display to be put on by ISON come this December. Still, I wouldn't fully commit to such until I see some actual visual observations reported.
Many other observers will be looking and imaging on coming mornings as the comet moves higher into less difficult view. Watch for more news updates.
Update Aug. 13: A disagreement has emerged on discussion lists about whether Gary's measurement of magnitude 14.3 refers to the comet's total magnitude or just its nucleus. Gary tells us, "My photometry aperture circle has a diameter of 28 arcseconds, so I think this would include the entire coma and part of the tail." In other words, practically all of the comet's light. He goes into full detail about this here.

1. AVG says I have three viruses all located in the jar file...which I have isolated...all related to an old exploit MS03-011...so...I go to update/microsoft and it says to check to see if I have VM on my Windows 2000 SP 4...run cmd says it's not installed so I can't download any updates to a non-existant file...
now...my questions...
1a. if I don't have VM then how is it possible I got viruses that exploit VM???
2. is the jar file necessary to the operation of the computer in any way...or can I just delete the whole file???
3. To the best of my knowledge I uninstalled java some time ago...which is why every time I post I get that pop-up saying I need plug-ins...so...if the jar file is a java file and just a left-over edifice can I just delete it...or does it serve a function for the ' normal ' operation of the computer???
Without VM or Java on my computer it's strange how these viruses got onto my machine???

Is 'Boardwalk Empire' Trampling the Legacy of Marcus Garvey?
"Boardwalk Empire" made a reference to the black leader Marcus Garvey on a recent episode. But it wasn't a tribute that Garveyites would have appreciated.
"Black Moses, The Story of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association" by E. David Cronon received an endorsement from the celebrated black historian, John Hope Franklin, who wrote the introduction. The book recounts the career of Garvey, a Jamaican immigrant, who launched one of the largest mass movements of blacks before the Civil Rights movement. The book tracks the Jamaican from his beginnings as a journalist to his conviction for mail fraud. Though the case against him was fragile, Garvey doomed his case by acting as his own lawyer.
In the beginning of its new season, "Boardwalk Empire," introduced a character named Valentin Narcisse (played by actor Jeffrey Wright), a dapper smooth talking character who speaks with an Caribbean accent. This character uses a white woman to blackmail Chalky White whose henchman killed the woman's husband after he pretended to be outraged at finding the black henchman with his wife. Turns out that this was a set up and that this was how the husband and wife got their freak on. In order for Narcisse to keep quiet, Nucky Thompson decides that White has to give Narcisse ten percent of his club's profits. Returning to New York from New Jersey, Narcisse has the woman killed. Back in Harlem, he is seen negotiating with white gangsters for part of Harlem's heroin trade. The walls of the office are decorated with the photos of distinguished black men [UPDATE: in a later episode, Narcisse says he's borrowing the office from a "Mr. Garvey"], but this character despite his eloquence and his fancy dress is a hoodlum. We see a banner hanging behind Narcisse that reads "Universal Negro Improvement Association"–which was the real-life name of the real-life black nationalist and self-help organization founded by Garvey. The inclusion of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in a show about crime and violence shocked even me, a person who has written, obsessively, about the depiction of blacks by the media, part of a hundred year old complaint.

From its early days as a way station for horse travel between Los Angeles and Pasadena, South Pasadena has grown to be a community highly prized for its role as a quiet enclave surrounded by larger cities. Some think South Pasadena is part of Pasadena, but this small town is its own entity with its own police and fire departments.
Real Estate: Nicknamed the City of Trees, South Pasadena is replete with tree-lined streets and many older homes rich in classic charm. Craftsman and bungalow styles feature prominently here. There are also some condominiums and apartment structures.
Community Life: Despite its small size, South Pasadena has many parks. One of the most known is Eddie Park. The historic Eddie House and grounds were donated to the City of South Pasadena by the Eddie family and is a beloved local landmark. The Arroyo Seco Park includes walking trails and supports multiple habitat types that are home to native wildlife. The park showcases the history of the area through trailside displays and plant identification markers throughout.
The South Pasadena Farmers' Market takes place on Thursday near the Metro Gold Line at South Pasadena Station. The Mission West District attracts both locals and visitors with its combination of well-rated local restaurants and charming independent shops.
South Pasadena is the oldest self-builder of floats in the Rose Parade. The all-volunteer organization receives some funding from the local Chamber of Commerce but also raises money each year for the float construction.
Education: The area is served by the South Pasadena Unified School District which is comprised of five schools. There are three elementary schools (Monterey Hills, Marengo, and Arroyo Vista) as well as South Pasadena Middle School, and South Pasadena High School.
Transportation: The Metro Gold Line makes commuting between South Pasadena and other areas very convenient. South Pasadena is also served by the Metro Bus systems. Several years ago the city adopted a bike plan to help provide for creating safe options for bicycle riders of all levels.
Local Attractions: One popular local landmark is the Watering Trough and Wayside Station. It was built in 1906 by architect Norman F. Marsh and designed to impress visitors arriving at the Santa Fe Railway station across the street. The South Pasadena Historical Museum is housed in the former Meridian Iron Works building and shows artifacts and vintage photographs that chronicle the early years of South Pasadena.

By Judith M. Brown
The global media has, in recent months, brought to the attention of a world audience the prevalence of violence against women in India. The horrific rape of a woman student, returning home after watching an early evening showing of The Life of Pi, in Delhi in December 2012, and the subsequent trial and conviction of her drunken and violent attackers, has led to considerable comment about violence against women. It ranges from low level harassment on public transport, to rape within and outside marriage, to the murder of brides whose families fail to provide enough dowry, and the abortion of female foetuses. As a result India has an abnormal and skewed sex ratio, demonstrating what Amartya Sen famously called the scandal of India's millions of "missing women". A few figures say more than words.
The worst areas for women's survival are in the north and west of the country. In Punjab there were, in 2011, 893 women to every 1,000 men; in Haryana the female figure was 877 and in Delhi 866
In 2011 24,000 rape cases were reported (over 17% of these in Delhi) and this is just the tip of the iceberg as so many do not get reported
The news service, TrustLaw, ranks India as the worst G20 country in which to be a woman
Why should we think Gandhi, revered as the Father of the Indian nation, had anything relevant to say about this? He is generally thought of as India's leading nationalist leader in the struggle for independence against the British raj in India in the early 20th century; or as a prophet of non-violence and pioneer of non-violent resistance in the modern world. But this is to underestimate the range of his thinking about India and what sort of nation and country it might become.For Gandhi, independence (swaraj or self rule) was far more than political independence. It required a radical transformation of Indian social and economic relations — to correct the ills and errors he felt had developed in India under imperial rule. So much of his speaking and writing and his practical work was focussed on these moral "ills", particularly enmity between people of different religious groups, the treatment of those at the base of Indian society, the appalling depth of poverty for so many, and of course the treatment of women. He was a staunch supporter of women's health and education, of women's rights as citizens, and of women's significant role in the public sphere, particularly in the work of building a new nation. He paid particular attention to the issues surrounding the very early age of marriage, and particularly the plight of child widows who had been married to much older men for reasons of caste. Recognising the violence women faced outside the home he also argued for a profound change in male attitudes — that men should consider all women as if they were their mothers or daughters. As he wrote in 1940, "Woman is described as man's better half. As long as she does not have the same rights in law as man, so long as the birth of a girl does not receive the same welcome as that of a boy, so long we should know that India is suffering from partial paralysis. Suppression of women is a denial of ahimsa [non-violence]."
Of course he was not alone in recognising these problems. From the early 19th century many brave male and female social reformers argued for better treatment of women, for the possibility of widow re-marriage, for the raising of the age of consent and of marriage, and for the education to university level of girls. The result of these multiple campaigns by men and women has been major changes in Indian law. But law on paper and law on the ground are very different. As Gandhi recognised, the absolute fundamental for any serious social change is a change of heart, or perception, of attitudes: in this case it is the need for the change the attitudes of so many men, who see women and girls as disposable items, objects of casual pleasure, not to say second class citizens. Of course this is not to deny that they are many millions of loving, sensitive men in India who treat their female relatives and women in the public sphere with great care and respect. Many of them came out on to the streets to protest at the Delhi rape and engaged in public dialogue on this and wider associated issues.
Gandhi's Essential Writings, published in 2008, was a new edition of an earlier collection of Gandhi's writings. Much of the thinking behind the new selections was the need to show how broad Gandhi's thinking was, and how very practical and even earthy issues were central to his work for swaraj. Part III, 'Transforming societies' and Part IV, 'India under British rule: making a new nation' gather evidence of his thinking and work on these matters.
It is time to return to Gandhi to gain a perspective on problems which are old and yet contemporary.
The Rev. Prof. Judith M. Brown was the Beit Professor of Commonwealth History at the University of Oxford from 1990-2011, when she retired from teaching. She is the editor of the Oxford World's Classics edition of Gandhi's Essential Writings.

text: Capital allowances: low-cost assets – threshold rule for small business The threshold rule allows you to claim an immediate deduction for most business expenditure of $100 or less to buy tangible assets. The rule is meant to help you save time because you don't need to decide whether each purchase is of a revenue nature (and so immediately deductible) or of a capital nature (usually written-off over time). Purchases of a revenue nature normally mean that you expect the item to be consumed, damaged or lost within a short period of time while purchases of a capital nature generally result in the item or asset being used over a longer period. If you are using the simplified depreciation rules, generally you won't use the threshold rule that applies for tax administrative purposes, to low cost items of $100 or less. Under the simplified depreciation rules, you claim an immediate deduction for most depreciating assets costing less than: $1,000 prior to 7.30pm (AEST) on 12 May 2015 $20,000 for assets acquired and installed ready for use, after that date and up until the end of 30 June 2018. You can use the simplified depreciation rules if you are a small business entity (2007–08 and later years). You must use the simplified depreciation rules for income years where you were in the simplified tax system (2006–07 and earlier years).

Mark Lipacis, an analyst with Jefferies & Co thinks that AMD will get from $60 to $100 for every accelerated processing unit containing eight x86 general-purpose cores as well as Radeon HD graphics engines designed for Microsoft Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4.
He thinks that the average price of a console SoC will be between $60 and $80 while Hans Mosesmann is a little bit more optimistic and believes that the company will get from $60 to $90 per chip. Early figures suggested that AMD's agreement with Microsoft to build chips for the upcoming gaming console could be work more than $3 billion.
Earlier this week a former company executive said that the deal is a significant step in the chip maker's efforts in creating a semi-custom silicon business. In the long run, this might be extremely good news for Globalfoundries as well, although for the time it's not building the chips.
