Review: Rocketfish Rapid Fire PS3 Controller {Joystiq}
Sep 24th 2009 12:59AM So to answer your question, I love the idea of doing some hardware/peripheral reviews. I probably would've picked something like this controller up since I hate the form factor of the dualshock compared to the 360 controller, but the cheap buttons and the contortions needed to move between the triggers and the shoulder buttons kill it for me.

Microsoft says 3DV acquisition didn't influence Project Natal {Engadget}
Jun 4th 2009 10:46PM Wrabbit, it wasn't about buying a competitor but keeping a possible competitive advantage away from a competitor such as Sony or Nintendo or even Apple (if they decide to go into the console business). Imagine what would have happened way back when if MS had bought out inMotion or whatever their name is, the people that everyone had to pay royalties to for rumble. If they had bought them back then, then the xbox would have been the only console that could legally have had rumble in their controllers. The electronics business is about 25% about what patents you own and 75% about the products you create. By saying that they were protecting their business they are 100% correct. They are keeping the tech out of competitors hands or if they choose they can license it to them and collect big time royalties.
