  1. Re:And Yet, No Ogg Theora in IE on Microsoft Makes Chrome Play H.264 Video · · Score: 1

    Neither is h.264, or any other video codec. They are all handled by WMP. Install a codec and watch it magically work.

  2. Re:Give it a rest already on The Microsoft High-Profile Exodus Continues · · Score: 1

    It sold 1.5 million in the first six weeks. Not exactly floundering.

  3. Re:IRC on New PS3 Firmware Contains Backdoor · · Score: 1

    Honestly I found Disgaea 2 more enjoyable. Sure 3 has some new crazy stuff, but it just falls short on the rest.

  4. Re:AGAIN, Sony? on New PS3 Firmware Contains Backdoor · · Score: 1

    Sony releases PS3 with OtherOS, no GPU access for it. People find out, desire GPU access. People find vulnerabilities in hypervisor to enable GPU access, Sony notices and removes OtherOS.

    I disagree. It runs pretty poorly. I use Chrome.

  6. Re:Wikileaks DDos attacks? on FBI Executes 40 Search Warrants For 'Anonymous' · · Score: 1

    Wikileaks has its own set of lawyers and big piles of money. (They say they require millions of dollars a month to operate.) They are likely just busy doing something else, like defending themselves against other threats.

  7. Re:Here is how cheating is discovered on Xbox Live Labels Autistic Boy "Cheater" · · Score: 1

    You can always create a new account as long as they didn't ban the system. (Usually system bans are for more severe problems, like piracy). They sometimes temp ban a system for cheating, but not usually permanently.

    It becomes part of their XBL profile. It's there like a red badge for anyone to see.

    According to this, Silverthorne maxes out at 2W. Dimondville is 2.5W. We don't need to put the highest end Atom chip in the machine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Atom

  10. Re:Then has anyone decided to fork the H.264 build on Google To Push WebM With IE9, Safari Plugins · · Score: 1

    It's be cool if someone made a website dedicated to devices that do support it stealthily.

    Plus, they require you to have a license for each individual software product rather than a blanket license to cover the computer.

    This is incorrect. A codec can be installed that can encode/decode for a system. It's just that software makers don't want to give away their encoding to other companies, or often they are not general purpose codecs. Ahead's Nero is different in this, as I believe they have codecs they install that allow you to use the formats they pay form.

  12. Re:Start your betting on Google To Push WebM With IE9, Safari Plugins · · Score: 1

    Microsoft actually said they welcome this when they released info about only supporting H.264 themselves. Their video player usually supports any video codecs installed on the system.

  13. Re:Can't believe they released this shit on Microsoft Looking Into Windows Phone 7's 'Excessive' Data Use · · Score: 1

    It can be very difficult. The signal to the tower can cause battery drainage as the communications chip in the phone ramps up power to compensate. Not to mention a number of things can interfere with the signal and cause this condition.

  14. Re:Sorry to burst your bubble but Java still slow on Honeycomb To Require Dual-Core Processor · · Score: 1
    Let's address this a small piece at a time.

    Even thin java layer like copying data from camera make app unusable in real-time

    This guy is running a G1, incredibly slow compared with the N1 running froyo. http://nhenze.net/?p=107

  15. Re:Sorry to burst your bubble but Java still slow on Honeycomb To Require Dual-Core Processor · · Score: 1

    I was able to do just this at 15fps on the Nexus 1. Before the NDK had debugging I had to debug my code somehow, so I made a java version and ran that (since the code was almost identical). Now, the NDK code is faster, but then again that removes your argument since you can just use the NDK.

  16. Re:I've complained about this more times than i ca on The Care and Feeding of the Android GPU · · Score: 1

    Why those over the stock browser? I haven't really tried any of the others, never had reason to. (Although I played with Dolphin because it had pinch/zoom earlier). I have an N1, btw.

  17. Re:... and the expert gets to chose his own tools. on The Care and Feeding of the Android GPU · · Score: 1

    Windows Mobile 5/6 also had .net libraries.

    Maybe you should try scrolling on a Nexus S?

  19. Re:doesn't matter on The Care and Feeding of the Android GPU · · Score: 1

    To me it was greater the day it came out. It had an SDK and I could install things without paying yearly. I could tether without hacking. There are other reasons beyond these, but I thought I'd highlight that not everyone's idea of "great" is the animation on the homepage is smooth. Shouldn't that be the least of one's worries, should be spending more time using it rather than fiddling with icons.

    The Kin and the Zune both use Tegra 1 series chips. The Folio 100 had a Tegra 2.

    Then we can all hope you do not rely on an iOS device for your life, as restarting it is common practice when an app crashes on load. (This is because several apps leak memory)

    It seems to be better about memory management than ObjC in iOS, which has no garbage collector.

    The difference is indie publishers can push out various forms of content for the Kindle that include whatever features the Kindle has. Not so with iBooks.

    Heyo, what browser and flash version you using? Because I do the same on a Core 2 Duo and the Cpu is at a paltry 15% most of the time.
