so lets see. vlc works perfectly on windows xp, vista, 7 probably even 2000. it works perfectly on all conceivable flavors of linux. but it does not work on osx. guess what's broken?
you seem to be confused. mozilla DOES NOT support flash. FLASH provides a MOZILLA PLUGIN. in other words FLASH supports mozilla. of course, mozilla could just use windows' inbuilt h264 codecs, but does not. i dunno why.
the regular end-user won't ever hear of sandy-bridge. they'll just get their new pc with the latest intel chip i12 or something. they will not have any good alternative too.
that's what nokia has always done. but guess what, it doesn't work. users click 'yes', 'agree', 'continue' to everything. seriously, nowadays on win7 64bit, almost all viruses throw up a uac prompt. and users click 'allow'. this is why i believe ipad is a great device. it simply cant be fucked with. the user doesn't have to worry about anything.
this is just too stupid. on a device that can play all sorts of videos, but won't because jobs says so, you are ready to watch videos by playing them on your pc and streaming them? this is so fucked up, man. totally, totally fucked up.
instead of making a video, couldn't they have made a flash thingie, so that you could change the parameters of the illusion too? maybe we could then tell at what rotation speed color change becomes hard to notice.
The geeks with their wide-eyed wild fantasies and delusions of 8GB RAM and Quad Core Processors are so far away from being practical and economical, it's laughable. It will simply NEVER EVER work, EVER.
Technology is constantly developed to make killing more precise; which means LESS killing.
you mean like the hydrogen bomb? the one which can precisely destroy a WHOLE city? technological progress does not automatically mean more precise killing, sometimes it also enables mass killing.
the voice recognition in vista and 7 is really very good. but i feel monumentally stupid speaking to my laptop. its right out of the question when someone else is in the same room and it feels really weird when i'm alone.
not to mention keyboards are much more easier to type on than any damn touchscreen. how could a sensible person even think this up? i agree that touchscreens are okay for some phones, but if you have ever typed on a phone that has a physical qwerty keyboard, you will agree that it is a much more pleasant experience. i do not think people will abandon keyboards and use touchscreens on their pcs.
He's a tard for thinking that they have any obligation to replace the computer under these circumstances. As they rightfully pointed out, they are not Apple, just a company authorized to service Apple computers. Having worked for an independent Apple service provider in the past, this is a maddening mistake that many customers make, especially irate ones who don't want to listen to a thing you say. The bottom line is that if he didn't buy it from them, then they have no obligation to refund the item. If he wants a refund, THEN TAKE THE ISSUE STRAIGHT TO APPLE.
you're a tard if you seriously believe that. consider this: the screen on my sony phone acts up, stuck pixels sprayed across the whole thing. i go to an authorized service center. guy there looks at the thing, says its too expensive to change screens on this type of phone, hands me a new phone. he charges me nothing, because of the warranty. if you are a 'company authorized to service Apple computers', you must repair faulty screens and replace the screen if you fuck up the repair.
i don't get all this hullabaloo about 3d tv. REAL LIFE delivers differing images to right and left eyes. so should we classify real life as harmful to children?

I wouldn't be surprised if Lion phoned home like Windows does now.
you think snow leopard doesn't?

What behavior? VLC clearly stated their terms for the use of the service. The istore guys use a license which is not compatible with those terms.
well played.

You're really limit in your thinking.

'haptics' so far has meant 'tiny vibration'. this is close to useless for a keyboard. and i doubt this is going to change soon.

figure of speech.
millions==lots
yup. because that is NOT choice. jobs has chosen for you.
are you nuts? there were millions of apps before istore was even thought of. only those apps were called software, or programs.
i'm not sure about this but i think a computer with two 800Mhz processor cores is much faster than one with a single 1.6Ghz core.
people will lose their faith in science
science should not need faith to avoid being discredited.

omg! this is epic.
complete utter bullshit. google talk from gmail.
Ironically, the Wii, which IMO has the best hardware control scheme for First Person Shooters of all the consoles
no it doesn't. it's probably the worst.
