the problem is that you can turn it off and go back to gnome NOW. from the next release they might remove support for gnome altogether, and linux's shining pearl will be reduced to a brown turd.
i don't have a problem with firefox eating up all my memory. but what i do have a problem with is that after 2-3 days, firefox starts eating up 20-30% cpu! even if i close all of my tabs and look at a blank tab, the cpu usage is continuous. then i have no option but to restart firefox. battery life is affected, the computer runs hotter, etc. and the best thing? this was not a problem in any of the previous versions.
same here. anyone can connect to the wifi. only you have to open a browser and log in with your id. then it works like normal. is there any way to make wifi platform non-neutral?
and here is apple's route: 1. wait for other companies/individuals to develop real technology 2. watch as they put out products with said amazing tech and a mediocre ui. 3. steal tech and wrap it up in a smooth animated ui. 4. set the price at 3x the other guys, for the same feature set. 5. RDF!!!!1 6. massive, unbelievable PROFIT!!
nope, you can sell any component (h/w, s/w) you want for dell pcs, without asking dell for permission. can you do the same for iphone? nope. not the same.
Really now? Apple didn't just make the UI simpler, they completely changed it.
yes they did.
Name one phone before the iPhone that had a browser that people actually wanted to use?
lots of nokia smartphones had very capable browsers, and worked very nicely. also in some cases even flash content worked.
Name one phone before the iPhone that had a useable, non-stylus-oriented touchscreen interface?
Name one phone before the iPhone that had a useable, non-stylus-oriented touchscreen keyboard?
i don't think such things existed.
Name one phone before the iPhone that had random-access voicemail?
my e71 did this quite easily, and it was completely independent of the network too.
Name one phone before the iPhone where the phone manufacturer defined the feature set, not the Carrier?
wtf are you even talking about? its the iphone which introduced shitty things like no youtube over 3g and stuff. or no mms. or no video calls over 3g. and its no big secret that this was done on att's request. also, no bluetooth file transfers???!
If the iPhone wasn't a game-changer, then why have so many other phones since the iPhone desperately tried to copy it?
i think anyone who thinks iphone was not a game-changer has very serious issues:)
this is actually true if you consider it a bit! i mean, iphones still don't have basic features my nokia had a year before the launch of the 1st gen iphone.
I will gladly take Jobs and even Gates over the Catholic Church. MS and Apple might have some questionable practices but I have not heard of millions of people being killed just because they shunned Apple or MS products.
you're wrong. nokia, in its first lawsuit, demanded that the court set a fair price for the 10 patents apple was infringing upon. this shows that nokia is ready for apple to pay them in cash and move along. btw all of these patents are concerned with actual tech (umts, wlan, etc) not some overhyped ui bullshit. what does apple do? it refuses to pay up and countersues. for completely unrelated patents. more importantly it sues nokia for software patents.
you're wrong about the homework too, btw. it's summer vacations:)
i dunno man, i don't think i ever saw ANY game run at 1080p. on the other hand, my shitty laptop with shitty intel graphics can spit out mw 2 easily at 1080p. though all other games don't go above 720p.
please people, pay attention!! why do so many of you think that ps3 runs its games in 1080p? i've seen a lot of ps3 games and none of them goes above 720p, most are even lower.

thanks. i knew 'super' is what we call the windows key but had no idea about a meta key.
wtf is this, ubuntu?

2 hours lost?!!?
how can anyone write code that causes such a huge battery life reduction?

With every new release new bugs are introduced, the old ones are given less priority and the user experience remains about the same.
no, there are more bugs in the new version. so the user experience actually degrades. also, i haven't seen this happen anywhere else.
i use flashblock and i still see continuous cpu usage after 1-2 days.

how is icloud relevant to this discussion?
Microsoft is not SELLING a competing product. Internet Explorer comes with the OS.
ps: are you completely beyond professional mental help?
they coulda called it WLANSync? Sync-ify? a billion other names that are not the exact same as somebody else's app?
nope, you can sell any component (h/w, s/w) you want for dell pcs, without asking dell for permission. can you do the same for iphone? nope. not the same.
so it took apple, the largest tech company, over a year to develop a trivial feature like wifi sync. yeah, right.
Really now? Apple didn't just make the UI simpler, they completely changed it.
yes they did.

...yet.
nokia lost ONE lawsuit. not one of the patents in that lawsuit were part of the original patent dispute.
you're wrong. nokia, in its first lawsuit, demanded that the court set a fair price for the 10 patents apple was infringing upon. this shows that nokia is ready for apple to pay them in cash and move along. btw all of these patents are concerned with actual tech (umts, wlan, etc) not some overhyped ui bullshit.

i'm sorry if i didn't get the humor, because that's exactly what happened. try to shake off the rdf before you comment next time.
like how apple stole hardware tech from nokia, ericsson, etc and never paid them royalties?
no.
android FTW!!!!1

the ps3 can't even create one 1080p image at any decent rate. no game runs beyond 720p, most run on even lower resolution.
