The 3DS has amazing potential, especially in the way of AR gaming. I think the system will, in time, start flying off the shelves, but the slow sales are curious. I don't think marketing is a problem. I have seen several adds on tv. I think they could be promoting the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake a bit stronger. The lackluster lineup is obviously one factor. The clunky design dosnt help either (very reminiscent of the original DS.) 3D is huge right now; it has shed its gimmicky stigma. And 3D without glasses is a big plus. But this feature dosnt seem to be stimulating the gaming industry as much as the TV industry. 3D is relatively new for gamers. But they will learn embrace it, intime.
Netflix instant selection is too limiting. Also, I wish it were better organized. But all in all a great product. I am seriously considering canceling my cable and replacing it with Hulu or Netflix. Charter wouldn't have a questionnaire like this that's for sure.
Are hollywood movies really motivating career decisions? I like Pirates of the Caribbean, but Im not about to start a career as a privateer. Im thrilled that enrollment in CS classes are finally increasing, but I temper my excitement when I hear the example Ms Fong. Some advise for all new CS students: don't pursue a degree in CS because its glamorous, but because you enjoy programming and problem solving. Life is too short to do something you do not enjoy.
