  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

The competition

The Japanese might even send one of their flying saucers next week and take everybody from Red and Co. with them to another galaxy. That way they won’t even have to worry about any cameras reaching us at any point. Luckily Jim Jannard wont’t be taken, he wasn’t in his office at the moment, thanks God! Like all the billionaires in the movies he has a secret weapon: a flying saucer of his own, painted red by the way. He takes that beautiful baby across the stars and goes and fights the Japanese on their own turf. After an exhausting battle he WINS and brings everybody back to earth! And a year later people around the globe are filled with joy when they hold their new Scarlets in their hands.

Hi John, I sure would love to have some of that stuff You are drinking... :w00t:
 
I don’ t think is much different than the conspiracy theories on this thread, only a little more juicy! Sci-fi is more exciting.
 
To tell you the truth Peter, I don’t drink alcohol at all but I live in the border of Tijuana, Mexico and Bogotá, Colombia; in other words Jackson Heights, Queens, N.Y. There are hundreds of bars and clubs around here serving the best of latin goodies. You should come up and visit. I am sure you’ll find plenty of “Maestro Tequilero” from good old Mexico as well as burning “Agua Ardiente” from our Colombian friends.
 
It's all fun and game untill someone looses a limb.

Jim has losts of lawyer on retainer (I am guessing.) Everyone knows that companies play fair, like how Intel doesn't play dirty trick to keep AMD down.

Can you guys that are good with photoshop, come up with some good Sony vs Red pics?
 
Still...it'll be worth the wait. In the meantime I'll enjoy my RED One- which (just got the email yesterday) will be here at the end of the month.

Count on seeing an underwater housing for Scarlet shortly after she is released.

I laughed out loud at that one. :)

Good 3-act structure, maybe Act II should be a little further developed. :usd:

Or, maybe I should go sleep.

Sya.

You guys need to read more. For example: http://books.google.com/books?id=0f7yTNb_V3QC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_summary_r&cad=0#PPP1,M1

Lets say I'm Nakatomi corp and I want to make life tough for Red. I wont go have a board meeting and list out the "plan to get red" on the big board like Dr Evil.

I (Nakatomi VP) go find out where Red is having sensors fabbed and then talk to our product managers. They'll go farm out a lot of ridiculous work at that fab, and try as hard as they can to max out the capacity in order to cause a disruption to Red. There will be no paper trail. There will be no smoking gun. We didn't do anything, we were just building widgets like we always do....

Thats how corporate shenanigans work. :)

I'm not saying I want Scarlet delayed. I'm saying I bet a lot of the Red delays had a little "shenanigans" involved.
 
And that accomplishes what? Slows them down a little? Delays shipping dates? That's just delaying the inevitable. I don't think any company can slow Red down enough to force them into bankruptcy. A smaller, more poorly funded startup, sure, but probably not Red.
