In a car racing game, after a user crashes his Honda Civic, an announcer could be used to advertise by saying 'if he had a Hummer, he would have gotten the better of that altercation', etc... If the user has been playing for over two hours continuously, the system may display ads for Pizza Hut, Coke, coffee. |

The word "habbits" is actually spelled "habits". Just a little heads up.

I wonder how many people will actually get the 1984 reference. Sorry kids, He is not talking about the tv show.

Too bad for Google that you can no longer defend a patent without utilizing it in a verifiably commercial capacity. Yay for a little patent progress.

It amuses me how QJ posts an article saying how evil Google is, while littered with links to Live Search.
It just shows how even Google are saints in comparison to Microsoft.

Google might want to collect lots of data but I can't see a way for them to get access to my memory card without my permission. And if I give the permission it's not so scary anymore...
Sounds like media hype to me.

the US patent system shows us how flawed it is.
This is a legal mine field I'd imagine if it ever took hold. I don't imagine Nintendo or MS sending out save game data to Google, but I could see Sony doing it. But really, this is unlikely to come to fruition.

I really don't mind in-game advertising, as it makes it feel more realistic, but shouldn't that advertising bring down the prices of games? I'm tired of new games costing $60 a pop...
