The bulky gaming focused OC as we know it now might never see the light of day.

If I can't use the damn thing to play Custer's Revenge then what's it all for?
Sure, it can be used for all sorts of shit but it's supposed to make my (wet) dream of soiling myself whilst playing PS2 come true. Shifting the focus away from gaming by handing this device to a conglomerate (which, as TR, is enough reason to hate the whole damn thing) who's only goal is to make as much money off as much of my privacy as possible.
Facebook is akin to a cankerous sore on my dick. Sure, I can live with it but it's a god damn pain. How much longer do I have to wait now for virtual porn to become a reality? Am I going to be glad that it only takes me a few minutes because facebook is charging $5/min (only $1/min if you sign up for our amateur porn streaming service where the world watches you bang some pixels!)
We give companies such as that too much damn insight into our lives as it is; especially given that their sole purpose for existing nowadays is to make as much money off of the info we give them as possible, as quickly as possible. I've no idea why the hell anyone uses such a service anyway.
What's the social benefit to something like this? I'd guess that the NSA has already cracked the fucking thing so that everything you watch has the potential to be viewed by the agency. To incorporate it into our lives...
Take
this and now move the phone into your bedroom and hook it up to your face.
Fuckit, I'm becoming a luddite as soon as I have enough money to buy a few hundred acres of land in Canada.
