    And Verizon is basically pure, incorporated evil, so it all makes sense in the cosmos.

    Internally, this tablet was codenamed the "Desperation."

  4. Re:How important is that at this point? on Adobe Photoshop Is Coming To Linux, Through Chromebooks · · Score: 2

    See you've just proved me correct.

      complaints from users about the name (VERY unprofessional and immature, BTW)
    the shitty interface (and it is *epically* shitty, make no mistake about it)
      the buggy implementation.

    These all scream "ME DONT WANT TO RELEARN ANYTHING"

    Which is okay but it's not GIMP's fault that it isn't a Photoshop clone.

  5. Re:How important is that at this point? on Adobe Photoshop Is Coming To Linux, Through Chromebooks · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The issue is that people learn Photoshop, they don't learn the fundamentals for the tool.

    So they switch to GIMP and then find it's horrible because their skills don't transfer and they cry on the internet that "GIMP SUX" because they don't want to relearn anything. This is even worse in a business situation because relearning things pushes back deadlines and impacts quality.

    My understanding is that the converged desktop won't be available on these phones. Sucks...

    Yep and that's exactly why android will never take over the mobile market.

    It's not wrong so much as it's not the complete picture.

    But I'm not in the business of writing novels on slashdot.

    Yep pretty much anything causes it, the VR experience has to be perfect or old brain freaks out.

    Crazy things, brains are.

  13. Re:What, no positional tracking? on John Carmack's Oculus Connect Keynote Probably Had Samsung Cringing · · Score: 4, Informative

    It means tracking translation. The Gear VR tracks your head's rotation but not translation which triggers a reflex in your brain that causes nausea.

    Basically the brain knows that your head moved a certain way and what your eyes see doesn't match that. In turn, your brain decides that the only explanation is that you've been poisoned and makes you want to hurl as a defense mechanism.

    97% of anthropologists thought piltdown man was the missing link and he turned out to be a human skull attached to a monkey jaw bone. The real missing link ended up being found by a guy those assholes mocked.

    I stopped buying HTC phones precisely because the don't support their phones well. I had the G1, Sensation and then Amaze. None of them got proper updates.

  22. Re:This new guy on Microsoft Kills Off Its Trustworthy Computing Group · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm personally pretty anti-microsoft and a fan of google's ecosystem of products.

    But if the new CEO succeeds at changing the organization, it'd be great to see a third big vendor in the market as an alternative to Google and Apple. Windows Phone sucks now, but who knows what the future brings. Microsoft has been riding their past successes for a long time, too long.
