And doesn't new Apple devices use the pentabulous pentabular screwdriver? Thats 3 screwdrivers including one thats probably not in everyones toolbox.
Apple decision to deliver built in the batteries on it's products it's a pain for consumers but I find that their designs relies on that "feature", so you can't complain or try to argue the Apple batteries are easy to change when thats evidently not true.
I think we were talking about EASY as in "EASY as I can do it with one bare hand"
Yes, whats exactly preventing[1] people to copy the game to, say, other 10 USBs? In fact I think this is the interesting bit of the game: A chain reacion.. houndreds of thousands of different iterations and lives. And in the end just mix EVERYTHING and you have your LOC sized virtual world and mdash turns out to be a Zinga sockpuppet freeloading on crowdsourcing for the new gaming "blockbuster", bonus points for viral... YAY marketing!
[1] Rules, walled gardens, drm, etc can and will be broken.
Haha recently We got advertising for Golf Clothing in Quakelive. Surpirsingly, when I asked in the game that night, at least 2 of an average of 10 players per server actually played golf. Damn analytics you scary!
Well It would be interesting to know how many choose Android for the openness, freedoms and features and how many for the bling of the icons or other nonsense.
Instead of making duh-statistics about iDevices why don't we make a study about Android consumer motivations? One would hope for more sauce from Google being an Advertising company and all;)
Well I don't have an iPhone and probably never have one and I have an android tablet, but, Are you really trying to say that Android users are smarter after we are reading about people installing spyware and shit on theirs? Are you reverse-trolling?
What? Doesn't 4G mean that the phone can send and receive 4 gs (consonants) of data at the time? I also hear by a cow-orker that 4G means that the phone actually resist 4 G's (gravity) of acceleration and thats why every pilot uses one including astronauts and nascar drivers, I mean, can you imagine trying to hold it right on the middle of a nascar crash?? Certainly a feat of technology that I don't know if I'm worthy of using.
Not because Marketing bots around the world are conspiring to vanish the last traces of common sense and simple reasoning from the population but because we cling on the work of politicians, media and lawmakers that try the best to accomplish that unworthy feat. Is not like anyone is forcing the people to get stupid. Path of least resistance, I know enough to know I'm stupid, etc. YMMV.
We ended up getting to the same point, I love discussion when they end that way.
I love how the score ended being +1 troll. while I admit it was written (unintended) in a trollish way the point remains that double standards are not cool anymore and someone will ever point to them. What sometimes it's sad is that most Americans take little or focal criticism as a full blow attack to the good old America which is never the case, I like US of A and I actually not happy for all that stuff that is happening right now there.. TSA, Bailouts, Education, Infrastructure etc etc etc. As one of my first post stated, USA may be a bitch but is our bitch.. I don't want to see China being the new bitch.
So move your ass and do what only Americans can do to make that nation great again, this time w/ less racism once you're there.
My old and trusty, still working and 3 years ago retired Sony Ericsson P910 would like to have a word w/ anyone claiming that Apple invented smartphones. Palm Treos and BBs would like to join the conversation too.
The iPod touch it's a pretty good "palm". For those like me that don't like smartphones and have been using Android tablets for some time (w/out complains) the iPod touch it's an interesting option nonetheless.
Sure, Microsoft did just as fine or even better when it started to use those shady tactics, in fact they are the innovators in IT shady stuff, they still doing fine because they rammed the competition in the ass to OS domination and undeservingly MS Windows become something indispensable, but iPads just don't fill any definition of indispensable. So, whats your point?
But when education fails, religion quickly fills its shoes.
Probably I didn't stated that very clearly but Catholicism it's just present IN STATS, nobody cares or follow catholic teachings blindly since when? the 90's? Actually the more vocal religions here are Christians and Mormons being a minority they get to make more noise that Catholics, because catholics simply don't care, people is Catholic because they got baptized when they were 1 year old and Church makes sure to shove that numbers on the statistics.
It's pretty shortsighted when you take the textbook definition of a religion or a culture and assume this is actually how things are in the real world in such religion or cultures.
Actually most of the developed world (which often has higher welfare rates and social services than America) have sustainable or negative growth rates.
That is pretty much true, the same the the kleptocratic governments we have, but since we have the resources to somewhat support that growth I can't help but think that what pisses the developed world is that we are using our own resources instead of selling them to You. And I know thats because your post 50's textbooks, those that ingrained in You the idea that the world's resources are intended for the developed nations only, that you are entitled to them since you are the only ones that can do something useful whith them. And while this is probably true, China got the foot on the door first and are the ones mining the hell out of the third world, which ironically, will not help to the population control as a whole.

some people can cry a river arguing that Catholicism is the whole issue w/ population growth, but IRL, Catholicism it's dead jim, nobody pays attention to those corporate child molesters and we don't have to take that meme from people on a country that still teaches Creationism on it's schools. And the only thing that bother "negative growth developed world" is that we will be more in the future for good or bad (probably for worse) and You can't just bomb the difference out to even teams and it creeps the hell out of some when they find that not every third world citizen it's some dude w/ moustache picking apples in the field. We have been very poorly educated for generations, but thats not true anymore, for good bad or worse depending in your point of view.
Sir?... Yes, were the ones to blame, engineers tried to shove the HD6990 on some laptops that eventually burned down one testing room, I was there, the laptop ran it's fans so hard that started to hoover across the table until blowing up spectacularly near to a big pile of failed packaging demos. So management blamed us [1] and we had to come up w/ something that would lead the blame onto us if a smart consumer figured it out.
[1] We had a lot of failed packages in there because we had to outsource the design to the same guys that we outsource the coding, they promised they will hire designers, but ended up shoving javascript monkeys to hammer the design in SVG by code!. The designs actually created buffer overruns in the CTP machine and he have lost contact w/ production since then.
You think it's funny to blame marketing for everything, sure, everything is fine and dandy until stuxnet owns your printing department and start to print weird Chinese propaganda, did your know they went to the moon first?
As Mighty Martian said, that is pretty much PR 101, good insight sir.
After her you only have Rupert's son, now thats when it would get interesting. We all know Rupert can't smack his own son for the good of the empire, right?
Why would advertising or marketing need bright people when theres actually no challenge in the field, I mean.. HIT THA MONKEY iN TEH BELLAH AND WIN 9000 iPads. == thousands of hits.
Advertising is 90% targeting, if you are not getting any "smart" Ads, probably you are not the target for those or use adblock since you were getting lots of dumb Ads.
Can we stop the "third world and catholics are teh rabbitz" meme? And use instead "Poor people all over the world don't give a fuck/don't know about birth control" It's worst in the first world where you get paid to keep on the breeding thanks to welfare.
In third world countries theres no way the government would say "oh poor thing, now you have 5 babies, here get some food stamps" They most likely say "Tough luck, I really hope you take good care of that children or else we'll take them from you and give it to adoption to someone that cares" if you're really poor and already have other children they offer you the adoption route, in that case the government support the mother across all the 9 months and the baby is usually given to fortunate parents on an ever growing list of kind people that can't or don't want to have children and opt to adopt one.
Most young people here don't want children in their lives, the sexual education is good even on public schools, you can go to any state sponsored sex health clinic and get birth control methods for free, being in a mostly catholic country this is the faces I see when to pope or other retarded dumbass asks to not use condoms or birth control. It's all in the education, because theres poor people all over the world including developed nations, people that probably want to have birth control but either don't know how, don't give a fuck (pun intended) or can't afford it.
So.. should I dump all my VMs and snapshoots because It does not suit your taste in Linux usage? Didn't knew you have to be a PhD in CS to use Linux, wheres the openness?.
Really? chill out pal. I'm having fun w/ Linux and I get to make productive things out of it. I enjoy showing those VMs to young minds and spark some interest in them. Sadly I just can't see Adobe releasing a Linux version of the Creative Suite (I can't see Adobe alive in 5 years for all I care) and I just can't complain about my Winblowx$ experience, I can't complain about OS X either but I love to build my own stuff and thinker w/ that.
Sorry for the out of the box thinking.. back to power point I guess, oh wait I use Libre Office
I'm w/ you in this one. When someone ask me to friend.. THERES NO FRIKING "NO/DECLINE" BUTTON, I have to click on "Decide later" and then the option to "I don't know who the hell is this guy" appears. This is from the Facebook's Latin interface. I find FB the most painful and awkward website ever created, And I had myspace and geocities accounts, so I'm experienced in painful web user interfaces.
in all seriousness I see no problem in MS saying: "Our product quite suck in security, we pretty much can't do much about it since rewriting the whole thing would be like kicking our lunch box... so we will just have hordes of lawyers to LEVERAGE our influence in governments around the world to help us butfuck botnet creators IRL (in real life)"
I don't care how they do it, if they can do it, go for it and since you're there.. WHY NOT go after spammers?.
Really, I hate FB as much as the next poster, but how is this a Facebook problem? Didn't happened before Facebook? -- Happens the same here every time a girl meets some random guy thanks to facebook $crime_happens and everyone blames Facebook.
Anyway.. those must be some hardcore parties there (cue references to German porn)
Dood you don't have to listen to that, theres AdBlock and NoScript you know/s
Also, regarding you constant selfpromotion and stuff, you're doing it right, I'd like to hear how good but I bet the ROI from you post is over 9000% - I may not be your target because I don't have use for Doctors in my normal life and maybe thats why I find them funny. But it's dangerous to go alone, use this.
I'm not feeding a troll, in all PHB style let me spin that as "I'm empowering the trolls"
