  1. How long?? on PlayStation 4 Will Be Running Modified FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    Who else thought the same?

  2. Re:Good on Have We Hit Peak HFT? · · Score: 2

    Yeah, I think so too, therefore it should be MUCH higher than 0.03%.

  3. numbers out of the hat on MPAA: the Impact of Megaupload's Shutdown Was 'Massive' · · Score: 1

    maybe somebody should tell the mpaa the common people just can spend money they earn once.
    if after paying for mobiles, books, computer games, power bills, dentist, etc. there is still money left, i could bye a dvd or go to a movie.
    not everybody has - unlike mpaa - more money she/he could spend, so the numbers of lost/stolen money is ridiculous...

  4. Re:What Is To Be Gained? on Mozilla Makes Prototype of Firefox OS Available · · Score: 1

    We're up to version 16 now...

    Now we are at version 17...

  5. Re:Minus 2 on Windows 8 Sales Below Projections · · Score: 1

    Plus Minus 1
    Went back to win 7 aswell. Classic Shell is nice but not a 100% replacement (for me).
    I liked the win 8 copy dialog, which i got for win 7 with terracopy.
    The task manager was nice too.
    Being unable to run the market apps in a window, the awful get-everthing-into-the-cloud mentality... Maybe I should be start saving for a mac :)

  7. like to see other kinect software on Kinected Browser Lets You Flick Through Websites · · Score: 1

    my wishes would be:
    1.) make a really good and fast SLAM programm on windows I don't have to compile myself (like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o3ABX7xYJU ) and extract a real 3d model (extract, convert and compress the point cloud to textured 3d).
    2.) while beeing on this job it would be really nice to have a drag-and-drop photogrammetrie application without uploading all my pics to autodesks 123catch or microsofts photosynth.

  8. Re:So... on Google Targets Android Fragmentation With Updated Terms For SDK · · Score: 2

    i can't say anything about UI improvements on newer HTC devices but i liked the job they did on the HTC desire over the stock. there were lots of small but very useful changes. seems like a long time ago...

  9. very cool on Gate One 1.1 Released: Run Vim In Your Browser · · Score: 1

    Looks very promising, localised characters working excellent in vim !

    trim for ssd (without any fuzz) and working usb3 drivers. (btw for the can't upgrade because of...: universal restore works perfect on virtual machines. just sometimes problems with the oem serial)

    No, you are right, it's worse !

    good one !

  13. Re:FAIL ! on Microsoft Surface Pricing Goes Toe-to-Toe With Apple iPad · · Score: 1

    I really hope microsoft isn't getting a serious market share in the arm business.... if you have to install windows on customers machines, lot's of reboots you get fed up (windows mobile so far - a disaster!). shiny windows 8 : they announced a 160 Mb upgrade to download, WTF, didn't even get the dvd until now and have to install 160 mb already??? why can't i download a windows cd with all the upgrades? bad luck if there is dell, hp, asus, etc. on the serial number sticker? fuck you, microsoft

  14. Yesterday... on Apple Wins Again — ITC Rules They Didn't Violate Samsung Patents · · Score: 1

    ...i went into a shop because i wanted to buy myself a new samsung galaxy s3 phone. when i unpacked it at home i realized that i got an iphone 5. they made it look like a samsung phone because these sell like warm rolls... just kidding, i'm happy with the sgs2 running cm10...

  15. OT: Broken patent system on Motorola Scores Patent Wins Over Microsoft, Apple · · Score: 1

    I think the patent system is fundamentally broken. Isn't it that patents should help you to give birth to a vision (not trivial things), without being stolen/copied from competition? So you get the patent, manage to produce the product and sell it, that's OK. But if you screw up your patent, you can't deliver, your company goes bankrupt, etc. it would be good to delete the patent and make it unpatentable, open for everybody ! NO SELLING, BUYING, SPECUTAION ! IMHO BTW: I thing Douglas Adams invented the iPad, Jobs just copied :)

  16. Good, hope to see... on Intel-Powered Smartphones Arriving Soon · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ... an android x86 avd for eclipse soon, which - i expect - should be much faster that the arm emulator !!

  17. New Years sale on Gameloft for Android on Why We Agonize Over Buying $1 Apps · · Score: 1

    Games should be 0,99 starting 29th of dez. 10am PST , I've heard somewhere... I'll get 1 or 2 titles that I wouldn't have bought for full price. https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Gameloft

  18. Re:make a pcmcia accelerator on PCMCIA Computer Project Aims Even Higher (and Cheaper) Than Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    As 2nd step could be an eclipse app to develop for android under android... For me android feels like a content consuming environment but not as much a contenct producing/productive environment... Hope you get what I mean.

  19. make a pcmcia accelerator on PCMCIA Computer Project Aims Even Higher (and Cheaper) Than Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    Would be very nice to have a native arm accelerator as a pcmcia card, which could be used to drive the google avd's in the emulator. For $30 I would get one immediately !

  20. so many opportunities on Unreal Engine 3 Running In Flash · · Score: 1

    "3d in a web browser" development is a very big opportunity in my opinium. ok, many cpu and gpu cycles wasted, i don't care... the only question is: how long it will take until i can walk in google earth in 3d within a city? give us photosynth for everybody, right now (not on a server), just take a video and make it 3d (still no app for kinect, easy to use and free for 3d reconstruction for everybody). and that is just the beginning... what cool new features will follow?? android 4 with it's ros/java integration (hope they include some pcl features aswell) is a step into the right direction.

  21. Avoiding the ms-android fee? on HTC Considering Buying Own OS · · Score: 1

    could they avoid the microsoft fee for any sold android device if they use webos as an operation system with android compatibility? i got a touchpad and have to admit: webOS is really nice. the apps which exist are excellent.

  22. what did apple really invent on the ipad? on German Court Upholds Ban On Samsung Galaxy Tab · · Score: 1

    o.k. they made a small tablet, but in my opinium that's it.nothing new here... too bad i don't have a patent on a device that stands an four round wheels attatched to the body like a car thing...

  24. All Nonsense on Do Violent Games Hinder Development of Empathy? · · Score: 1

    A thinking and grown person is clearly able to distinguish between video games and the real world. If i think that my beloved first person shooters could get forbidden then i want to take my railgun and lower the percentage of lawyers who obviously can't do something good !

  25. OT: want wireless monitor connection on Android 3.0 Is Trickling In, But Are the Apps? · · Score: 1

    apart of using a big, high resolution display it would be nice to have a common user experience on android. ALL vendors should include the bluetooth hid stack (yes i'm talking to you, htc), and please: a wireless screen connection (i want to use a big screen at home, not just dlna). this would be on the wish list for my next mobile phone (so i can get an ebook reader instead of a bulky tablet)... with this included i will happily wait for the apps to evolve...
