in more simplistic terms hong wong sells you a box of crap that they broker the trade, you go sell your 5$ android watches for 50 in the mall tween the toliet and the food court hoping you make that 100,000$ a month rent selling crap to tweens, and you cant count on stock being available from hour to hour let alone for any amount of time to make any serious headway
the only winner is the broker, Alibaba is the broker
no technology except the 20 years of old technology
VR has not gotten smaller or more responsive in 20 years, inf act its gotten larger and heavier than it was in the late 90's and the only improvement is resolution and source material
when a new, exciting technology is stagnated so long to the point its MOVING BACKWARDS, then there is a fundamental problem with the technology that is not worth getting all happy pants about, in fact its a 100% target of hate
why did a pair of I glasses in 1998 weigh half as much as current tech, have the same response time and COST less using state of the art screen tech for the time, and why do you expect me to be excited that the current tech weighs MORE, and cost more than both the set I had in the late 90's but also the set I had in the EARLY 90's
great we went from 480P tft lcd's to 1080P tft lcd's but it cost more and is heavier than what was available at EB games 25 years ago!
agreed, you can have 100,000 CNC machines, doesnt matter if your design is so complex that it cant be made in an effecent and cost effective way
you want a hand made rolls for tens of millions of people, something has to give, in thecase of consumer products its quality and people, bought a tv within the last 10 years, if you did you probably have bought 2-3
meanwhile my parents CRT RCA finally gave up... after being in service since 1990
not all, I hate how all tech companies get lumped in with consumer crap production as if that is the only thing being produced in the world that is tech, or even electronic
I happen to work for one, we beat the Chinese every single day in quality and output, but we dont make crappy ass phones that are worthless a year down the road
bout to say, do a full hard disk backup over wifi heh
I only have wifi right now except for the main 2 computers and its both handy and a pain in the ass when you want to setup something in the other room without wifi
yea I always found it funny that *nix systems had as many desktops as I wanted, but nothing worth running on them, windows had all the software I wanted to run, but constantly ran out of space (not counting desktops.exe)
except thats not true at all, but its so cute (no I mean fucking annoying) to hear in every microsoft story. Why even stop there, maybe you could tell us how much ME sucked, or how 640k...
just FYI, its lame when you have to try and be cool
I have not played Destiny yet, but come on man Diablo III is freaking Diablo, its a clicky dungeon crawl, all clicky dungeon crawls are almost identical aside from the story, quality cut scenes, and how much loot n crap are in them
so escape in a fantasy written on paper is better than escape in a fantasy on a TV screen, same thing man, escape.
Why waste your time reading treasure island when you could be using that time to learn productive and useful skills then? Fucking kids of the past, always reading horse hooie novels about places that dont exist!
trust me I am the first one to call out all the heart string teary eyed hero bullshit, there's quite a bit of difference tween WWII and the penis contests that proceeded it
easily lost stolen hacked phone equipped with a radio broadcasting your CC info 24/7
not that its really better or worse than whats out there now, I just loathe the endless stories to come cause some dipshit left one in the bathroom at a bus station cause he couldn't stop playing candy crush long enough to wipe his ass in a proper manner
arduino and pi are really two different things, one is a sbc the other is more like glue to interface a computer to the physical world, course arduino team is trying everything and using everyone to make a sbc muddling the waters, but the core arduino is still just a convenient interface platform that may handle simple tasks stand alone

microphones are the devil, nothing says game immersion better than a foul mouth 10 year old having a spaz atack
I have never in my life had a microphone connected to my computer, doubt I ever will

so yes it might be comparable to a us company
if you want to sell 50 cent trinkets in a mall kiosk they are the way to go, but they are not a serious company IMO

and yet you are acting surprised?
wow making a smart ass joke made you FEAR for the lack of apps?
fud = fear, uncertainty and doubt, none of which are contained in my (smartass snarky) post
but thanks for playing the slashdot buzzword game, even though you lost

I have used a few though the years, all the in rom apps worked quite well, cant really say much about 3rd party aps, cause there weren't any
I think servicemen in WWII were paying a large enough price
NOOO how could native C++ ever be a pain in the ass
To hide tamper or destroy evidence, why should someone with a gps chip stuck in their ass have it
sounds like some "I made myself a freak and now I should be treated special" bullshit
the rest I could not care about, bunny hopping is for moron noobs that cant make it 5 feet without getting their asses shot off
its even dumber in other games, like when you see a team of nazi's bunny hopping cross the battlefield
I have 3 tabs open one with flash and its only 196 megs (and some change), dunno what your fucking problem is
office exports plain text, rich text and html ya know
so let them use linux and open office, whats the problem here
oh they want their cake and eat it too, for free apparently as well
