What does the "article" (read: blog) have to do with Macs? There isn't a single reference in TFA about Macs, other than the other "news" sites posting links to their articles. Did I miss a summary somewhere where the author referenced Macs? It doesn't appear to be on the blog's index either... Or is it just a combined effort to mock Apple users, once again?
While I definitely agree in part, there are some games that have done this exceptionally poorly. Section 8 is my prime example of this - apparently it is an amazing multiplayer game (not my thing), but it had a 5 hour single player campaign. I feel dirty calling it that. Scratch it - it had a 5 hour tutorial for basic multiplayer (one human with bots).
So if you're going to design multiplayer first, and then add single player, make sure it is worth calling it that. Section 8 should not have been advertised as a single player game.
To skip the cinematic kill, press the Open/Use button (E on PC). Not 100% sure this works on consoles, but it may. I definitely don't mind the cinematic kill when sniping, as the rotating view might reveal another enemy to me. Though when I know where my next shot is, it's nice to take it before the rad scorpion or giant ant or whatever has moved into the shadow of another hill.
But iTunes has got to be one of the worst, most bloated, most annoying applications I've ever loaded on my PC (and that's saying something)
I'm confused. What do you need iTunes for, exactly?
You can use Media Monkey to sync your media onto your iPhone. With iOS 4 you can create playlists on the phone.
You can download and install apps from the phone. After buying an app on one device you can download it free on another with the same account (why doesn't this apply to media?).
The only reason you'd need iTunes would be to perform backups and to activate your phone the first time you use it. Considering that backups don't actually back up everything (definitely a negative, Apple, I'm looking at app settings and information), you really just need iTunes once.
The last time I synced my iPod Touch was mid June, and the last time I synced my iPhone was August 2nd, when I upgraded to iOS 4.
And this is on a Mac, where iTunes is a staple!
He deals with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. He has people skills; he is good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
The Pentium M processor was the first design to emerge from Intel's Israel design centre
I realize you said 'first design', but do you realize he said 'desktop CPU'? I don't recall ever seeing a desktop with a Pentium M - if there is such a thing, why? When you have a desktop (not a laptop, netbook, thinclient, embedded system, etc) why would you use a mobile processor? If you're going to dispute a claim, provide better (read: relevant) examples. This also goes for the person citing ARM processors - not much of a desktop CPU market there, either!
(On a semi-related note for ARM: still not in China, but UK.)
Apparently, later this year, you'll be able to do 1080p on the Roku HD-XR (which happens to be Woot's deal of the day today, a refurb). I'm not certain it does 5.1, but it does digital optical out, so chances are good.
Still got those OSX widgets stuck back on an invisible screen, where they're utterly useless to us... (luckily, there's Yahoo Widgets, which actually work like you'd want them to)
Apple computers are just going to be disposable gizmos to log into your.mac account to buy songs and movies. Designed to be thrown away in a few years. How green is that?
Well, I would like to point out all the manufacturing and packaging and physical media waste/byproducts that are being removed from the equation when you consider how much of the Apple iMarket is all about downloading. The only resource being used there is the electricity to power your device and your modem.
Wait...you'd be laughing at his attempt to make up a funny story? Wouldn't that be mission accomplished then? As is clearly demonstrated by TFA, there are in fact different kinds of humor, after all.
That's where the HDTV antenna in the attic comes in. Most live-or-die games are available on broadcast TV, such as the Super Bowl. For everything else, there's either your friend's place or the sports bar.

Yeah, I just neglected the /sarcasm tag...

Maybe they reckoned the fallout from dropping WikiLeaks would be less than it would be from keeping them.

You watched a show you torrented - this means it wasn't live, it was done afterwards. This is done in 40 milliseconds, on-the-fly.
What exactly is it that they are instilling with that 4 port USB hub?
