    would rather have not reacted at all? i think this has been beneficial for the whole world everything considered.

    read the summary. no mention of xp, only windows 7.

  6. Re:If they can get my phone to last a week or more on The Fight Against Dark Silicon · · Score: 1

    long ago i saw phones from philips(!) that they claimed had a battery life measured in months. the main problem with your need is that most people are ok with 5-6 days of battery on a smartphone.

  7. Re:I was online at midnight CDT on Ubuntu 11.04, Slackware 13.37 · · Score: 1

    i've been saying the same thing since forever but no one seems to notice! unity is just a step further in ubuntu's attempt to clone osx. from the abrupt change of the titlebar buttons to the new and shiny dock, everything is just parodying osx.

    won't work in a theater.

  9. Re:Windows phone to take off? on Apple vs. Microsoft, By the Numbers · · Score: 1

    What nokia will do instead is flog the hell out of a cheap, plasticy, button clad thing...

    every nokia phone i've ever seen beats iphone in hardware quality. even the old black n white ones were better made.

    yeah that is my first thought.
    my second thought: nokia.

  11. Re:Brilliant! on Armenia Makes Chess Compulsory In Schools · · Score: 1

    exactly. i'd hate it if chess was forced upon me. coercion would remove the tiniest chance of me developing an interest in it.

  12. really? on Ask Slashdot: Where Is the Universal Gesture Navigation Set? · · Score: 2

    i thought iphone os was supposed to be the perfect example of consistency and intuitiveness? why this complaint now? and if the ui is such a pain in the ass then why don't people buy better spec'ed tablets from samsung instead?

  13. photo tour on Photo Tour of Facebook's Open Source Datacenter · · Score: 2

    with an iphone!
    how hard would it have been to take a proper camera? the photos are almost unlookable!

  14. Re:Not that surprising, actually on 5 Out of 11 Crashed Unity In Canonical's Study · · Score: 1

    anybody know why ubuntu is even bothering to develop unity? cause it seems like a shameless rip-off of osx. i'd just use a mac instead of this half-baked pice of shit.

    i'd think being google would itself be a huge marketing enhancement.

  17. Re:Bad Pricing Model on Who Killed Spotify? · · Score: 1

    it'd be better if you just download the hd versions of your tv shows and stream them to your tv using your xbox or something.

  18. Re:Memo to the music industry: They started it on Who Killed Spotify? · · Score: 1

    when mp3 players were still an expensive niche, i just listened to radio. i didn't always like what i heard but mostly the songs were good. then i got myself a 512mb sandisk player. the first songs i put into it were ripped off the few (5-6) cds i had. then i found out that i could download mp3s from the net! then we got an unlimited internet plan (it has become limited now).
    so, what i realize is that i'm unwilling to pay anything for music. if you make me listen a few ads, i'll not mind. but i will not directly pay for my music. that is the value of music for me. free music IS a lifestyle for me.

  19. answer to flash? on Maqetta: Open Source HTML5 Editor From IBM · · Score: 1

    is this supposed to be an answer to flash? if yes, then these guys have utterly failed. flash is orders of magnitude easier than this, faster than this and does things these guys can't even attempt to imagine. in flash when i create a new file, i get a toolbox on the left (like photoshop), i can select the paintbrush tool, right click on it to change its size and start drawing. i can click on the next frame and draw again, create a tween between them. honestly, this maqetta thing doesn't seem to be built with the purpose of replacing flash.

  20. Re:Go Premium on Who Killed Spotify? · · Score: 1

    Honestly - is it really that horrifyingly out of whack to charge £5 a month for endless music?

    yes. considering the fact that i'm paying for the non-unlimited data connection too. and how can someone not need mobile service? i don't listen to music while sitting at my pc. i listen when i'm on the move, or maybe sitting in the library doing math.

  21. Re:Go Premium on Who Killed Spotify? · · Score: 1

    di.fm does not play any mainstream tracks though. that might be a problem for many people.
    for people like me who just want trance, its amazing!! many djs usually post download links to their mixes in the forums! i'm unsure about the legality of this, but i can testify that it is AWESOME!

  22. Re:Firefox 5? Fix firefox 4 first. on Firefox 5 In Aurora Channel · · Score: 1

    from his experience with ff4.
    incidentally, i'm facing the same problem. leave open ff4 for ~90 min, crash. this was not happening in any of the beta builds. dunno why now.
    posting from ie9, which is rock-solid, fast but not customizable at all.
