Activist investor wades into Circuit City/Blockbuster mess {BloggingBuyouts}
May 6th 2008 12:13PM The reason these investors want this to happen is because the easiest way to fix CC's mess is removing the incompetent CEO and his idiotic plans. I have worked in CC for 2 years as an associate and supervisor. There are some policies that totally kills the morale of the employees. Regional managers, corporate doesn't sell TVs. It's up to the employee and there mood to sell the products. from my experience interacting with customers some of the ideas that blockbuster can be worth while for them. A lot of customers don't like to purchase services, because they are high margin and the customers are smarter than that. but integrating options and making it easy for them to access HD content is a premium customers will pay for, same way netflix took blockbuster down they can do the inverse.
Back to the changing of the not so great ideas CEO. He's smart enough to protect his job. Him and the members of the board are urging shareholders to vote against any takeover without the advice of the board, because they know they are the first to go. Making more money than the competitor's CEO while not being profitable is an amazing job. Economics class can only get you so far, but not down to the customers and we are a customer based company. One of the company's mistake is that customer service is the number one concern of a customer is a falicy, and we don't even offer that becuase we don't always have sufficient staff on the floor to attend to customers. Employees and managers alike hate this fact since we don't get enough hours downloaded to make up for the traffic we get.
Capcom aware of Dead Rising standard-definition woes {Joystiq}
Aug 15th 2006 7:44PM Ouch, but if you have a 360 or PS3 come on man, step up your TV game. My monitor Is HDTV gateway 21 inch. is like 500 bucks, and my TV downstairs is also HDTV. Hey 500 may be a lot of money to some ppl, but sell your tv, do this do that, and buy one used. Infact Bestbuy sells BIG HDTVs for 700 when they don't want to use them as demo anymore, and they are negotiable.
Shaq reprises role as NBA 2K7 cover athlete {Joystiq}
Aug 15th 2006 7:34PM I'm a shaq fan myself, but I don't think him or MCgrady should grace covers. It should be D-Wade, chris paul. More athletic and charismatic atheletes. I mean mcgrady is athletic and shaq charismatic. But you have to be both and popular. Anyways what's important is to have a good game. I don't know the fate of the 2k series. They should be backed up by NBA TV since Live got ESPN now.

Nintendo gifts birthday boy Bush with DS Lite, Brain Age {Engadget}
Aug 9th 2006 4:57PM That's funny. "Brain Age" to a president that over 25% of the country thinks he's dumb. Republicans may want to argue this fact. But the real fact is that 75% of the country is not republican.
I don't have a political party BTW.
Logitech launches steering wheels and G-series inputs {Engadget}
Aug 9th 2006 4:48PM To answer a few of the questions above. It will be for the ps2/3 and PC, not sure why not xbox360, maybe because of their licensing deal.
About the sequential shifting, you have to recognize that more and more cars are using them. Even the exotic cars have them.
Why can't the 360 have the gearbox? Because it will cost about $200 and not enough people want to pay for it. Die hard sim fans will use the PC or gran turismo on the PS.
I'm getting it, with the clutching techniques it will bring a new dimension to games.
