I have been a huge Dem since I was able to vote. Yes I honostly belive that they are the pro-speech party. However I am ashamed that my party seems to be in many ways leading the anti-videogame charge. From the Gore's to Mrs. Clinton somehow many democrats think that they need to regulate games. This is wrong and shamefull. I am somewhat comforted that good 'ol Jack is a raving rightwinger, but it doesn't excuse the party of change. Come on dems, do the right thing!
If you represent the thoughts of the Israeli government than I can certainly understand why a group like Hamas came to power. You are the smug shit here my friend, by falling for the BS that this land is "meant" for the Jewish people. Who says its theirs? Oh yeah them, and the west. When you steal land and put people in concentration camps you should accept the natural outcome. It really scares me how people who have been oppressed for so long can become just as evil as their oppressors so quickly. Sure makes me less sympathetic to their previous plights.
I'm all for cloud gaming- it would be great to not have to upgrade my GPU all the time to play new games, however I wonder how this could be accomplished in a way where lag was so minimal as to not affect gameplay. It seems this would be especially hard if one were to play online games. Correct me if I'm wrong but it would seem one would need to add the lag from the client to the cloud AND the lag from the player to player (or server) in the multiplayer networking. That seems like a too much lag for most FPS's, which I'm assuming are one genre which would gain the most from such a supercomputer.
I really doubt the people in the market for a Lexus are the type who would put up with this shit. Lexus better be prepared to lose a lot of customers to BMW and Volvo. Whoever though this up will be jobless in a few years for this one.
How many times have you been buying something and been confronted by two very similar products at the same price point? Happens to me all the time. Having power consumption info would be great!
I am not a user so YMMV, but I personally don't like all my eggs in one basket. I use different logins and passwords on most of the sites I visit. I hardly want a security breach on some forum I post to to be able to have access to my email or credit cards site. Centralized is great for some things, but I simply don't trust any company to be as tight with their security as I am with my own. To them a breach is a "whoops, sorry!" to me it could be personally and financially devastating.
I certainly agree it is dumb Apple doesn't allow BR authoring in FCP, but really how much BR stuff is actually going on, it seems the format is pretty much sitting on the shelves.
I think you missed the whole point of the post. He said that after Steve Apple will join the herd of fellow tech companies who are less interested in radical change in more in incremental improvements. When this happens they will in a similar ballfield as MS and will quite likely good after them in some of their non-consumer spaces as well. This is just a prediction of course, but I think it has a decent likelihood.
I think the/. crowd has yet to find a file manager they actually like. Until then I would say the Finder is the head of pack, though I use an alternative on my Mac, most of the time.
One thing about the Mac though, is that is I know of few who have switched back. Only the forced migration of the late 90's stands against this. I call it forced because many of the people I know switched simply because the software they needed was no longer produced for Mac. As a whole people understand (indirectly) that the TCO of a Mac is lower and they last longer. One thing that seems to frustrate people like you is when people actually enjoy computing, and I don't mean the enjoyment we geeks get from fixing things. Most people want a machine that works for them and survey after survey show that the Mac is one of the longest lasting machines on the market.
Oh my Mac user friends and family I know of maybe one fanboy out of of about 15. Most are just college kids or education professionals who think it is the best tool for their job. I agree, you may not, but either way fanboism is just a small percentage of the user base. You just hear from them more.
Sometimes bad people say the right things. Hitler certainly understood (correctly) that the world was round. The DHS is clearly run in many was just like the Gestapo. Do you really need examples?
If I was a nutjob fighting a country supported by the world's most powerful countries and I avoided annihilation I might consider it a sign of God on my side. By the same token the Jews have been persecuted for hundreds of years, is that not God sending a message? Oh course not because what you are saying is ridiculous .
Your example has been torn to shreds, and what is left is a person trying to justify the killing of dozens of children for the benefit of killing 2 militants. You say they should leave? They are children in a UN building, where are they to supposed to go? If you think the world is condemning Israel you are in need of eye opening. The 1st world has been supporting the Israelis for 40 years.
Perhaps you should ask some of the many Orthodox Jews who have come out against the "state" of Israel. Their interpretation of the Torah seems pretty valid to me.

As a quad g5 owner I would totally agree.

For a marketing guy Ballmer sure doesn't know how to work a crowd. Well unless he is playing monkeyboy.

So let me get this straight? You are pro genocide of the Palestinians? Oh boy. I'm at a loss for words.

Apparently the new Toast will let you create Blu-Ray video discs, I sure you can author with any HD compatible program.
Noone demanded something like the iPhone.
If you read the rumor sites for the couple of years prior to the iPhone introduction you would know this is incorrect.

Apple is unique in that they are pretty conservative with their battery life stats. Often, but not always, products actually exceed the rated amount.
You forgot the tablet Mac and updated AppleTV ;-)
The problem is IDG runs the show, not Apple.

Liberals? You mean like most American Jews?
Yep agreed, So the point you are making is?
