  1. Re:Apple Products never play nice with WIFI on Wi-Fi Problems Dog Apple-Samsung Trial · · Score: 1

    That works nearly every single time? Every laptop finger print scanner I've used SUCKED. Accuracy was always terrible AND slow. Granted, I've had limited experience. On a Gateway laptop from 2008 and a Lenovo Thinkpad from 2010.

    Touch ID was the first time I've used biometrics and it wasn't a total crapshoot if it'd work.

  2. Re:It's not surprising on PC Gaming Alive and Dominant · · Score: 0, Troll

    Two things. First, the PS4 didn't even do video playback on day one. It's a games focused machine. The Wii U is entirely games focused as well. The fact that both can do Netflix isn't so much a statement about consoles becoming entertainment centers, but rather, the dogged determination of Netflix to be EVERYWHERE. The XB1 on the other hand... Well. That's another thing entirely.

    (This is also true of the Vita and 3DS. Both of which are strongly focused on games.)

    There really is a diminishing return on graphics. At some point, making better graphics just requires more human power.

    The problem with the PC is that the control scheme is REALLY limited. Say what you will about two analog sticks and some buttons, but, you get more variety of game play out of that, than you can with KB/M. Moving along 4 dimensions with smooth analog controls is nicer than 2, and using something other than a mouse.

    Playing something like Armored Core or Metal Gear just feels nicer on a game pad. Sure, it's less precise, but, more precise isn't exactly more fun. When you're aiming at high speed targets, i'd rather have auto-lock than a mouse.

    Samsung doesn't do a pico projector phone anymore.

    The problem Samsung has is that they're throwing a lot of shit at the wall hoping something sticks. Like the humidity sensor in the S4. The only thing that has stuck so far has been the Note's SPen. Even then, I don't ever actually see many people use them.

    Difference here isn't that a lot of people are decrying the culture of F2P, that's fine. It's the business model a lot of people have problems with.

    It's like toyetic cartoons. What's the corruption? That they're basically 20 minute advertisements for toys that has 10 minutes of advertisements for more toys. It's cynical and doesn't actually add anything to anyone's life.

    That's a more fair argument to make.

    I don't think Facebook has a long enough history where we can make these determinations. However, with what they've done(or not done) with WhatsApp and Instagram, I'm willing to bet Facebook isn't interested in meddling with third party development.

    Further more, I don't think 3D porn is what's going to sell this thing to the masses. 2D porn didn't set the home video market on fire, but it sure did help.

    Unless the GPIO pins are exposed to mame as some sort of controller, you're going to have to write some kind of driver. As it stands now, I can wire up a couple of boards from MadCatz and have it working in under an hour. Well under an hour if I just use two TE sticks.

    I don't think that he is a Nazi, or sympathetic, that's really hard to prove with out direct statements. Given his involvement lately with authority figures,

    However, I do think he's pretty fuckin' tone deaf, and an asshole to boot. Arms dealing, legal and legitimate arms dealing, is an incredibly profitable business. Still not something I'd suggest to any of my friends nor do my self out of a sense of ethics.

    If he can't figure out the taboo behind why that book is socially unacceptable and why he shouldn't have invested in it in the first place, then he's a fucking asshole. Plain and simple.

  17. Re:Ribbons? on Microsoft Launches Office For iPad: Includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint · · Score: 1

    The problem with the ribbon is that when people complain about it, they seem to forget that the alternative isn't much better from a UX standpoint and that it launched on an application that the ribbon wasn't going to fix.

    Office style apps, particularly word processing is just a messy UI. Unless you want less features. Period.

    When dealing with new applications, the Ribbon concept is actually quite nice addition to a UI designer's tool kit. Probably one that should be doing what traditional tool bars have been doing for years. It's cleaner. I'd rather lose some UI space in exchange for some clarity of purpose for UI elements.
