you likely have an issue with extensions or "whatever else" i'm on slashdot, on firefox, theres absolutely zero delay. theres none in chrome either, for sure, but theres none in firefox. then i can open all the crap i want, firefox memory usages stays very low.. not so much for chrome. chrome uses a bunch of memory.
and that's what most people experience, actually, not just me. So i'm quit surprised every time someone blame firefox on memory usage or unexpected extreme slowdowns nowadays.
from all of what you cited, would stop me from using chrome
however.. i do use it from time to time on linux because its fast, and firefox is rather slow.
on windows however its a different story. its neck in neck with firefox, at least, it feels so. Except firefox doesnt have any of the shortcoming you list, uses less memory, and feels plain right
Most people assimilate tinkerer to Linux users, with an unstable system, hacked up tools, trying to make stuff work together etc. That's not the point. I've been an Apple user too, "back in the days". The system has never been as open as Linux for sure, but you could tinker and it was *clean* and working good. Imagine a Linux system today, that is as polished as OSX, including *all* tinkering tools. That would be what Apple felt like before (of course, there was no open source, etc at the time). And no, OSX + darwin under it doesn't cut it anymore of course. It would, 10 years ago.
yep, people fail to see his influence is for a lot what computing is today (and only the good parts of computing, actually) as usual, real heros are the ones you hear the less about
apparently the chip is the one released in september by samsung, only called "apple":p it makes complete sense also. its also an arm cpu so its likely to share a lot with other arm cpus anyway
paying a company would cost them $15000 and they wouldn't be sure to get the bugs found. researching for $500 sure isn't worth doing it, unless you just find one by luck. you might also attract teenagers who sometimes get access to private exploits to make a quick $500 legally. finally, you get a publicity stunt saying you're so secure and all (but in fact, it's just that not enough people care about your product yet)
to be honest i doubt neither android or ipad will make it just yet, for the reasons you mentionned. and also that its too big to replace your iphone, and not as good as a laptop to replace it either. tablet pcs would be ok if they were $50 and lying around the desk/living room but that's not the case.
well thats nice and all but the iPad doesn't fit what you listed either.
actually i'd go further and just say:
- i don't need a tablet pc
if i need to work on stuff, i need a laptop, small, light, powerfull, complex. that's not what a tablet is for, that's what a laptop is for
if i need to check mails quickly, take a pic, phone, look at a website for some info, etc.. i need something that fit in my pocket. that's what smartphones are for. granted, they could be better.
so.. the tablet pc is for leaving around at home, when you wanna take a pick at your mail, website, check a recipe, whatever and don't feel like starting your computer (or waking it up, or just having to sit in front of it), and the phone isn't all that big thus not all that easy to use.
besides, while you're pointing out the tablet doesn't do a lot and thus is simple.. you still need to update it. you need to clean it. you need to configure it, yada yda. just another 3rd device to take of basically.
corporations fund the governement and thus they are "running" it. not jobs or apple especially. just globally and usually bigger companies than apple. there's lot of things in between to prevent this to happen too much, but without a revolution or war every 100 years, the history just repeat itself, vitam eternam
clearly the poster is one of these 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 humans who don't have any idea of what they're doing or why they're even living in this world; let me explain. he's not using ubuntu because it's good, or easy, or whatever. nope. he's using ubuntu because people said it's cool. he doesn't care if its good or not, and worse, doesn't even realize it himself. having yahoo default deal makes it uncool (because, google is cool, yahoo is uncool) then he has no choice, but to dump ubuntu
stupid, retarded, but true. and it happens for a million of other things that have no relation to linux or computers, every day, all the time.
i for one welcome the retarded sheep human society.
1 - you say "triple" then you say its in fact only double 2 - you justify your source as "i heard so" which discard the source altogether
but wait theres more "Another licensing issue that is often overlooked is the ambiguity of MPEG LA's future patent royalty collection plans. MPEG LA has established broadcast fees that licensees will be required to pay for distributing free (or ad-supported) streaming video content on the Internet. These fees will not be instated until the end of 2010, when the second H.264 licensing period goes into effect. The language used in the current license treats Internet streaming just like over-the-air television, implying that the licensees will have to pay broadcast fees per-region. That could prove to be extremely costly for Internet video providers who make their content available around the world." *
what can yo usee on the above link? theora has same if not greater quality as youtube has with h264 and h263 (theora is much better than h263 low bandwidth, and similar to h264 in high bandwidth)

No. It's Google supporting a licensed codecs instead of an open one which is "helping flash survive". Heck, it means if you dont have millions you cannot buy an h264 license thus cannot play HTML5 videos. If you think a bit more broadly, about all the custom HTML clients, you might realize that h264 is an horrible choice for ones who aren't working in a big company (or a company at all)
thats mostly true i mean, its definetly good to exercise but one must be very careful. its so easy to hurt yourself, even when you think you're doing things right and all. i've a knee problem which certainly didn't come from sitting at my computer. it was the running.
that's correct, i go to work when sick unless i'm so sick theres no way i can reach the office or do anything there, because i feel like i am obliged to go there and work. I'm paid for it 'n stuff.
- AVI container removed - OGG/OGM codec removed - XVID codec removed (in favor of FFMPEG)
but then again you don't have to use handbrake. its not about obsoleting for the better, its obsoleting cause they couldn't be bothered to include and test them. one should still be able to encode whichever format he likes. you might have a player that only support AVI for example. Fortunately, you do not *have* to use handbrake. Like, you know, there's other things too. Heck I still use VirtualDub just for encoding.
google.cn is actually hosted in USA. if searches are made slower on it, then they're also slower on.com etc probably, and still quick for anyone chinese accessing google.cn outside china
Theres more than enough hints that Google retracted due to different political reasons. Just imagine this:
- The Chinese government hacks Google
- They access all the private Gmail data (most Americans, incl. companies and goverment)
- ????
- Profit
(Ok, this is slightly modified)
The point is, the US goverment (CIA, NSA likely) notify Google. Google fix.
It happens again, and again. The US goverment notifies Google it would be smart to withdraw from China as they will start cyber attacks to defend the USA.
Google publish some PR stunt and withdraw from China.
Again, that is just one possibility, but it's quite likely. (considering the zillion hints about this)

not to mention how you're not seeing where links point to on small screens.. while on firefox, and even IE its fine

I'm not sure how you can say it is ONLY $499.
If you have too much money, you can send it to me. I know people who bitch for $4.99 (yes, there's a dot after the 4)
I'm not sure how you're going to fit the iPad in your pocket either, since you want to replace your iPhone's web browsing and e-mailing by that.
well thats nice and all but the iPad doesn't fit what you listed either.

its RDF :/

From http://handbrake.fr/ (instead of linking to a loosy article):
- AVI container removed
- OGG/OGM codec removed
- XVID codec removed (in favor of FFMPEG)
but then again you don't have to use handbrake. its not about obsoleting for the better, its obsoleting cause they couldn't be bothered to include and test them.
