it infuriates me when most of my friends don't use sleep or hibernate. instead they shut down _every_ time. and then wait ~2min next time they need to use their system. this approach will unknowingly force these people to hibernate, not shut down.
this used to be a problem in win xp. but now, in win7, i can start working the second the desktop appears. and this is a low end machine (core i3, 2gb ram).
hell, anybody who has browsed the web on any fucking device has felt the bb browser lacking. even dumbphones have better browsers nowadays (opera, bolt, etc).
my 2 yr old e71 lasts a good 5 days with lotsa calls, texts, and a decent mix of 3.5g+wlan browsing. but a 1yr old nokia 5800 lasts only ~36hours with similar usage. i think the major factor is not the os, it is the huge screens that touch phones have.
right, so now we move onto personal attack. thank you steve jobs! for giving people like SuperKedall the confidence to talk like an idiot on a public discussion.
No it does NOT serve the user. It makes it possible to install apps from apstore, but fundamentally the whole REASON you have the appstore in is to install apps - does the application DRM do anything to help you install an app that would not be possible if there was no appstore lockin? NO it does not. With blue ray what the DRM is doing for you is ensuring that you are able to play both protected and unprotected media. It serves a very real purpose in that case of letting users pop in a blue ray and have it just work.
drm always has pros and cons. what you're doing is you're looking at cons when talking about win7 blue ray drm, and looking at pros when talking about iphone app store lockin. this is a mistake, drm must be removed from everywhere. take steam for example, many people like it because of its ease of use and the fact that their drm is generally invisible. but you know what would be even easier to use?? games without any kind of drm. that is what i want.
drm inbuilt in win vista and 7 also serves the user. it is part of the reason why i can watch a blue ray on my pc but not on a mac. have you heard anybody say this drm is good?? nope. have you ever said so?? i doubt it. me, i don't like drm anywhere, and the most drm or drm-like laden devices are made by apple. drm is the reason i will never buy a blue ray disk or drive, or any idevice.
so you will use windows and worry about ms knowing you mounted an iso, when you know that each and every click, every keystroke that happens on win7 gets reported to redmond. that's what they call telemetry data. seriously, they know what % of users have teracopy installed and how many times the back button is clicked in explorer. i think it is reasonable to expect they will know when you mount an iso, even if you use some other sw. on the brighter side, they put back the 'up' button!
Slashdot Mirror
it didnt work for oo because oo was (is?) a steaming pile of unusable shit.
you seriously think akamai can be slashdotted?
you should try the touchpad on a macbook pro once. i find it amazingly nice and usable, even without all the whiz bang multitouch stuff.
gyroscope=the simplest inertial guidance system
fuck flash and fuck ios.
why do they need a link?
wtf?? have i gone insane or did an ms blog just use html5 video tag instead of flash or silverlight?
so you mean to say your mac behaves in the exact same fucking way every windows system has done since xp?
there's something wrong with your figures...
yeah, its 110% closed. only jobs' express written permission can allow automatic changes to be made to his slaves' computers!

this shows us why america is so further ahead of everyone else.
you're not holding it right!

Why run several instances of a kernel with all the overhead of a VM when you should just do chroot/jails?
Especially with such limited CPU and RAM, just seems like a bad idea.
galaxy s2 has 1 gb ram and 1.2ghz dual core cpu. graphics processing is separate. is this limited?

we have data caps too (hello from india!), but the net doesn't stop working when you go over, it just gets awfully slow (256kbps).
i thought apple took 30% of every sale plus 99$/yr for dev tools?
microsoft had cash to burn. i doubt hp does.

i can say the same aboout app signing.

1) Phone home every time I use it

yeah, on win7, it pops up a tool that will burn the iso onto optical media, but you have to use 3rd party sw to mount isos.
