March 31st 2029 4:55 pm Well sounds like both sides have FINALLY quieted down about this stupid quarrel. Of course Microsoft was lying about the bug, but at least it slowed MacSony down. My people on the inside predict they are 5 days behind Microsoft.
April 1st 2029 1:11 pm Breaking news only found on this website! Sounds like both Life and Living have been cancelled, sorry guys. p.s. April Fool’s 1.45 “Sentient life in silicon? Don’t make me laugh!” Cartoon drawn by Douglas Hofstadter (Director of Center for Research on Concepts and Cognition at Indiana University) and presented to the Singularity Summit at Stanford University in 2006.
April 3rd 2029 6:57 pm The MacSony vs. Microsoft war is official: casualties have been suffered. A news report today from California reported that servers recorded that 56 people were killed today over an argument about the new gaming systems of MacSony and Microsoft. On the hugely popular MMORPG Battlefield: Virtual Reality, a MacSony supporter hacked the game on the Micro-FILE server (the EGG server for Microsoft) and put the MacSony-EGG servers users in the realm of the Micro-FILE’s servers where the MacSony-EGG users slaughtered the characters of the Micro-FILE users. The president, elected from the Microsoft party, called this “an act of cyber-terrorism that is an attack on American freedom. We Americans should not have to worry about our lives being hacked by others.” Bummer dude, because it totally happened. You cannot and will not find the guy who did it.
April 3rd 2029 8:05 pm Microsoft announced they will not be fixing the servers and instead be focusing on Life. Interesting move on their part, hope the loyal followers don’t get mad at the company for making them wait to buy Life.
April 5th 2029 8:57 am Congress passed a bill demanding MacSony’s records so they can find the cyber-terrorist who hacked Microsoft’s servers. Unfortunately, that will not happen since MacSony’s main servers are located in Japan. The U.S. is just trying to protect their own interest in Microsoft. Since the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, you will remember that corporations have basically “bought” their legislators. That trend unfolded in other democracies and now the two companies, MacSony and Microsoft, now run the world’s governments. Obviously, Microsoft has the majority in America and MacSony has the majority in Japan. This is the first time that MacSony and Microsoft have attacked each other at an international level. The Microsoft minority in Japan tried to pass the same bill, but of course was struck down by the MacSony majority. This means that MacSony is untouchable by U.S. law. Like I said, no one will know the mystery behind the Virtual Reality hacker.
