Umm, regarding number 2. Rush gushes over anything that he's paid to gush over. The fact that neither Rush nor Apple will comment on whether or not Rush is getting paid for his gushing should make you question his sincerity.
It's just you, and the other dimwits like you who criticize things they don't understand. The only people that hold a view of some 'bigwig in the sky' are ignorant people like you who don't understand the bible... haha, yes, that includes some of the ignorant christians as well, but anybody who really understands the bible knows that no such claim is ever made.
If you're not with us your against us. Time and time again it has been shown on slashdot that when you post something criticizing (in the literal not colloquial sense) a viewpoint responders automatically assume you hold a position diametrically opposed to it, or more frequently diametrically opposed to whatever cultural/political viewpoint that they hold.
I haven't really noticed this behaviour to such an extant in Canadians or Mexicans but it seems like the US'ians are full of borderline personality disorders (in the DSM sense not the colloquial).
Who says I trust my senses? The reason I became skeptical of science was that it purported a whole bunch of things that my experience had proven to be false about sensory perception. This didn't automatically mean I trusted what my senses told me, it gave me an indication that there has to be an explanation that encompasses both. Since both were in conflict obviously I couldn't trust either and had to depend on actual verification of claims instead of just swallowing the pill like most other people.
Now, science does have beliefs, perhaps you just aren't aware of them. You see, science is done by humans. Humans lie about things all the time or they just get them plain wrong. Science encompasses many diverse disciplines that have become very seperate and distinct from one and other. As communication between diverse disciplines wanes the communication of corrections to previous prevailing theories or hypotheses do not get propogated. Or are you not aware of biologists discovering a phenomena that physicists had known for decades and was covered previously on slashdot? How about the scientific belief that staring into the sun makes you blind which was just invented propaganda but touted as truth and printed in textbooks? How about the belief that a woman is born with all her eggs, or that the brain doesn't grow new neurons, both of which were based on no evidence whatsoever. There are science fanbois who really know nothing about how science works and BELIEVE that everything science says is truth, when in fact science can only approach truth, and just parrot information unthinkingly, like the above poster and his chart which he clearly didn't understand.
Now I never said anything about fixing science, what I said is that everybody needs a better understanding of science, and apparently some of you also need a better understanding of reading. But thanks for pointing out to everybody why there are scientific beliefs, because most people have problems with literal reading comprehension and infer things that were never said, something very common for NT's where lies and mistruths, oops NT's call that social skills, are the social glue that holds our world together.
Well, according to all the old textbooks it was the prevailing theory long ago, and theories get tested and disproven, that's how science works after all. What theory did they teach you in school?
I'm not a US'ian, but nice how you assume that just because I see the problems with science that I'm automatically some religious right wing nut. It's called being a skeptic and really that's how science is advanced by those who challenge scientific BELIEFS. Well, that and serendipity.
The point being you can't take everything science says to be gospel and you need a deeper understanding of statistics and how it's used in medical science.
BTW, my sammy isn't a crap tv and had one of the best scalers on it at the time, congrats on your poor reading ability. As well I'm from a country that's more balanced and can see that republican or democrat you're all still right wing nuts because most of you keep so strongly to your beliefs whether they be scientific or religious.
I wasn't able to watch 3d either, hell, I couldn't even see 3d in the real world.
Doctors learn about how to try and fix things from the outside but for the most part just cover up symptoms. The problem with this approach is that when it comes to controlling YOUR body the only person who can learn that is YOU. For that you have to try things completely out of your understanding because if it was within your understanding you wouldn't have the problem.
The brain is amazingly plastic, the fact that I had never seen objects, let alone objects in 3d, for the first 33 years of my life in no way stopped my brain from learning how to piece together the puzzle.
Science, it never presents the truth. Science, most of what we know is false, that's how science progresses. Get a real clue about how science works.
Then get a clue about how medical science works, it presents stuff as fact that is really just the average. Did you know that for someone people their heart isn't on the left side? Not everybody has the same amount of vertebrae? People have different sensitivities in their senses? Or best of all, not everybody has the same capacity for acquiring knowledge or applying logic, of which you are an example.
Your logic is also flawed because we build that equipment as extensions to our senses and translate that data into stuff that makes sense for how we perceive. Objectivity in science is a lark because you can never seperate the observer from the observed, science even knows this to be true.
Ah slashdot, where 'you're just fooling yourself' is considered a logical argument.
I've always found that the people who stay sick are the ones who always listen to doctors and science that tells them there isn't anything they can do. Control is control and you can learn to control any part of your body, ANY part.
ah yes, let us all just ignore our own sensory experiences and follow what someone else wrote. Does nobody think for themselves anymore? Science fanboi aren't you?
Listen and think. It is not about seeing individual pixels, it's about the amount of sensory information being displayed and the fact that it is moving. A pimple may show up in the 1080p source but not in the 720p source. If the picture were static the eye might not register this pimple, however, since everything pretty much is moving your eye will pick up this movement, you will see more definition. Go learn the difference between how feature detectors and motion detectors work and how everything is assembled in your visual system and try thinking for yourself.
Ever tried wearing an eyepatch as well as the colored balls on a string focusing exercise for bringing about some co-operation between your eyes? That and some other exercises worked for me, the default landing position of my right eye used to be staring at the right side of my nose.
What the hell are you even talking about? Beyond HDTV? Nothing beyond HDTV is mentionned. Are you perhaps talking about 3D? In which case you should have said no need to buy 3D.
Then again, you'd probably be wrong again. 3D requires certain refresh rates and better circuitry for some components, buying a 3D tv, or rather let's say buying an HDTV with 3D as a feature at least gives you a higher baseline for quality.
Um passive 3d? It requires glasses, but they aren't clunky and you can basically put the lenses onto any frame you want. You don't have to keep your head perfectly level if you sit at a decent distance. It does require you to be vertical, so if you're one of those depressed people that's always lying down watching tv or one of those scrawny people who can't hold his head up, then they really aren't for you, what is for you is probably some exercise.
Ever heard of context? Need was said in the sense of being able to utilize the resolution. Makes no sense to buy an hdtv at 19" and sit 6' away from it, you really NEED it to be bigger.
If it's balanced properly (which most western tools aren't) and you're holding it properly (which most people don't know how to do) it really doesn't feel any heavier.
Canadian dollar is at parity right now, mainly over parity for the last little while. So weak dollar is still a good hypothesis considering most visitors are from canada anyways.

If we could just remove the humans from science then everything would be fine and dandy.

There's always the slim chance that humans will mature and realize that the environment is more important than their lavish unnecessary lifestyles.
Oh, oh, I've seem to have upset the science fanboi religious nuts with moderation points. America the capital of logic fallacies.

So basically the prevailing theory before the big impact theory?

How big is your living room? I used to wear glasses and even at 20' I can tell the difference between 1080p and 720p on my 37"!

Modded +5? Two thumbs down.
No he doesn't say that, but thanks for proving how slashdot is going downhill.
Umm, Emacs?
