    I think that they are just jealous that Microsoft came up with an original mobile experience.

    Sayyy what? How is it original? Please give examples.

    And don't say "live tiles" are original either. Widgets on Android have been doing the same things for years.

  2. Stolen Credit Cards... on Facebook Test Will Let You Message Strangers For $1 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I expect spammers to start using stolen credit cards to send spam. In the end it will cost the CC owners and their banks money while FB most likely gets to keep the money. Depends if the banks force a charge back or not. Sometimes they do and sometimes they write it off and wait fro the government to give them money.

    Drop Pods always drop me in the worse places. I've come to accept this when I start playing for the night. I've come to use use drop pods to quickly get to an area where fighting is going on when I start playing for the night. As for respawning and dying when you run outside, this is false UNLESS that area is about to be captured by the attacking faction. When they have over run the area and waiting for the capture bar to finish they will camp outside the spawning room. Just take the death and chose another nearby area to spawn.

    Gotta love when people see that you can buy something using real money then just assume it's "Pay to Win" without trying the game and seeing what you can and can't buy using real money.

  8. Re:LOve the game, hate the real money bullshit on Game Review: Planetside 2 (video) · · Score: 3, Informative

    ^^ This 100 times over.

    I've been playing the game a lot and love it. Real money will buy you some weapon upgrades sooner rather then having to wait to build up the cert points to buy them. Even then the weapon upgrades for ground troops aren't worth it. Weapon upgrades for ground and flying vehicles are a help but again no real money is even needed to get them. You can not buy upgrades to your current weapons using real money. This can only be done from playing the game and earning cert points.

    There are pure cosmetic items that can only be bought using real money. These are just funny decals or cooler looking armor and camouflage.

    Personally I would have left Saddam in power. He was the ONLY buffer in that part of the world that was a threat Iran. Now that he's gone Iran is the single bully in that neighborhood.

    I always see non US citizens complain about the USA having control over the internet yet I never seen any examples of what the US control does to hinder their Internet experience. Is the US preventing you from doing something on the Internet? Is the US throttling your internet connection? Is your monthly Internet bill to the US to high? Are you upset because the US caps your monthly download limit?

    Please give some examples because I'm honestly confused.

    Soon this key feature, which has been around for all of windows history, will be removed just like the Start menu.

  25. Re:microsoft looks to have fired to architect of w on Windows 8 Sales Below Projections · · Score: 0

    From my understanding, Win8 is just removing the Start button and task bar. Forcing all applications to run maximized and then plaster your desktop full of icons. I can do that with my current Win7.

    In the end, Win8 just isn't for the power user. I often have several Putty windows running and need to move then around in various places on my desktop. This is how windows work. If I can't get the same look and feel out of Win8 that I do with any previous versions of windows then I won't ever be using it. This includes a Start Button. And no I don't want to buy a 3rd party start button software replacement.

    I was looking at one of the Win8 tablets at best Buy over the weekend. When I saw a "Tile" for the Disk Defragment app I laughed and walked away. Can't believe the filesystem still requires that.
