I keep hearing about people younger than I dying and it's beginning to weird me out a bit. Anyone else over 60 feel this way?

Hmm, so Bill Gates quit, and now the co founder is dead? Will Microsoft fold?

Microsoft will not fold easily. A lot of technological infrastructure in the West depend upon Microsoft technology. National Security etc. But the XBox division will probably disappear, become its own company, etc.

Well, I want Sega to make a phoenix of itself, and come with us a new kind of console/computer hybrid. I would be so fun it that would happen

Won't happen, OK the Sega zealots would soil their nappies for it, but it ain't happening.
