"That is one LONG ass wire.
It's one thing to hide a wire in plain sight by some creative and aesthetically pleasing means...
it's a WHOLE other altogether to modify said item for the sole purpose of being creative with the modified cord."
"They (the ones behind this lawsuit) are basically just saying with this that the CONSOLE manufacturer should be held accountable if any game developer releases any attractive new games AFTER said user has been banned from online use for modding their console (or purchasing a console which they didn't confirm was legit/unmodded).
That all games released should be less attractive than the previous, just in case someone (who broke their warranty by modding their console) wants to play those games too.
Give me a break.
The modders just want to have their cake and eat it too.
This suit has no merit at all.
I mean come on, cry me a river modders & jail-breakers.
You know the risk in modding.
And if you didn't know, next time actually READ your EULA.
And yes, caveat emptor for those who bought used or opened consoles."
"Yes.
And I APPLAUD Yelp.
Comments that are not reviews but are merely REACTIONS to second or third-hand reports of an isolated incident, are NOT valid.
They're merely someone's reaction to SOMEONE ELSE'S review.
Courts don't allow testimony from people whose only knowledge of the crime consists of a news report.
You can't just turn on Oprah hear her talk about some tragic murder, then based solely on THAT experience (Oprah's flapping maw) expect to be able to testify in court as to the ACTUAL events as if you have FIRST HAND knowledge.
When I visit a review site like Yelp, I expect to get KNOWLEDGEABLE opinions of the RESTAURANT."
"@bravo369: "If a business is screwing over people, other should know about it."
This is very true.
But it must be kept in mind that we only know that the establishment in question screwed over that ONE group."
"Um...
This is misleading AT BEST.
It's not the popcorn that is really, really bad for you, it's all the SHIT you put on it and eat WITH it.
12 pats of butter, Salt, Medium soda.
Just be smart people."
