If you cast your mind back, before the heady days of Windows 2, you might recall a product called the Apple Mac with the MacOS… Looked remarkably like the Windows GUI." Apple had GUI first, on the Lisa. Microsoft had a contract to use the technology in Windows 1, though they later found a loophole and managed to keep producing it. "If you think finding a Microsoft logo in an Apple is weird I have an Intel 486 CPU that has an AMD logo on it." I wanna see a picture of that :P “I love this discussion of Apple vs Microsoft.

What a coincidence... I was looking through an archive of systems and came across this picture: http://www.thegameconsole.com/sonyplaystation.jpg Check out the brand name on the controller. Toshiba may have been the manufacturer from the beginning! Though, obviously that design was a prototype. Re: Toshiba branding in the controller.

I hope the will correct that, because the pad feels really uncomfortable in driving game (in which you have to push them togheter). I agree with you… those damn L2/R2 are the worst trigger ever made.

Thank god. After playing some 360 games I found that my biggest annoyance with their controller is the retarded d-pad, then the weight, then the stick placement not being symmetrical, then the uncomfortable triggers. Also I don't see why it's surprising to see Toshiba parts mingling with Sony parts. They've always been pretty chummy. Yeah, they're competitors, but that's just business. It's like being surprised that you carpool with your co-workers. How could you be friendly with someone who does the same job as you? (in effect competes for wages against you) Companies that work with each other are stronger for it. “Dualshock 3 itself is not much heavier than the Sixaxis and still lighter than a wireless 360 pad.”
