    Every MS helps to those battlefield3 servers, bullets are fast.

    Is it so hard to download the offline maps for Openstreetmap?

    Yes its for iphone too.

    The whole planet might take 9gig + but thats nothing on a 64gig iphone

    Dont ever hire an ex MS exec to be your ceo. Its a trojan horse.

  4. reading is passive too on Costly SSDs Worth It, Users Say · · Score: 1

    Reading books is passive too, hardly interactive or group activity.

    So you also never ever watch any documentaries? no historical docos?

    Did you read about 911 on 912?

    And porn on a tv is interactive and hardly passive ;-)

    Why do people in real high power approve such shit laws?

    Sure if we all received a nice 350k salary we would never ever pirate anything.

    And stop using the term pirate, we arent raping people on boats.

    Its civil copywrite violations.

    Oh and btw every cop in NZ uses bit torrent to download movies for their kids, they sure dont get paid enough to buy games/movies.

    I wanna see politians on 55k salary.

  7. cat/dog food biscuits are taxed on Apple's A6 Details and Timeline Emerge · · Score: 1

    im sure more dogs/cats eat biscuits than humans.

    Only humans eat cakes, and even then not more than 1-2 times a month. Its hardly a daily purchase, unless you consider bread to be a different cake, which in theory it is, a bland plain cake.

    Why dont we tax drugs instead, more $ in it.

  8. real are still alive the fuckers? on RealNetworks Sues Dutch Webmaster Over Hyperlink To Freeware · · Score: 2

    Poo to those guys, the law sucks plain sucks ass.

    So a little man has to suffer with a yearly salary loss, loss of computers (thank god new ones are cheap, $99 tablets).

    I want to see a judge make a ruling for once taking *ALL* computers away from a corporate entity even though staff had nothing to do with and it might cost the company millions per day in losses.

    If you destroy small peoples lives, then fuck it, who cares if you destroy multi corporations too.

    1:1 is fair.

  9. Re:"No ecosystem" on Android On HP TouchPad · · Score: 2

    Im still pissed off apple charges 5x retail price for the 16-32gig price difference.

    Common apple, for that price diff, offer people a 32gig vs 96gig setup and a 256gig VIP option for real cashed up geeks/celebs.

    You can always brew your own beer, real real cheap.

    And making vodka is ultra cheap too.

    Or do you not drink because of dodgy religious 'scriptures' .

  13. arent 1 in 7 on foodstamps? on HP TouchPad To Be Liquidated At Fire Sale Prices · · Score: 0

    Surely that figure of 1 in 7 humans on foodstamps in usa is a bad state.

    Also 50% of all americans pay zero taxes and/or get free money from govt on top of paying zero taxes.

  15. Re:If you don't like it on Pricing: Apple Defies Australian Government · · Score: 2

    aussie dollar .70 = apple prices 30-40% higher, I accept that.

    aussie dollar goes 40% higher, to 1.10

    to maintain same profits, apple can drop prices to = USA prices.

    But to gain impressive 30% profit growth through zero extra sales, keep prices same.

    Look at their financial reports. Apple makes 60%+ more profits due to out of usa sales when converted to USA dollars.

    So on nasdaq sure, it looks like wow apple made 60% increase in profits, shares go sky high.

    In reality, no sales changes, infact, usa sales dropped, global sales, static.

    Its a funny money exchange effect.

    End result, apple 'valuation' goes up by multi billions, all due to zero effort, zero work, no work, utterly no finger lifter, same work as Steven Hawking.

    The first google account is the primary owner. you cannot delete or change it, unless you dig inside sqllite data files.

    non primary accounts can be created/deleted at will.

    To change primary, you need a full reset/delete/wipe

    Compared to a 1996 BeOS bebox that was 66mhz and 128meg ram.... this beats it.

    We just need someone to port BeOS to a phone, at least its boot up resource use would be less than most android widgets or facebook app.

  20. Re:FAA Shutdown on FAA Taking a Look At News Corp's Use of Drone · · Score: 0

    They are just drones themselves, following rules.

    Not allowing commercial drones UAVs is mega stupid. It could be a multi billion $ industry.

    In this modern hi tech world, stupid govt orgs like FAA keep us stuck in 1980 forever.

    And a small 1-5kg or so drone is no more harmful than natures own birds.

    Again, more freedom outside usa, there only freedom you do have , is to LEAVE the usa.

    Touch screens + LCD together, is more of a simulation of real life in 2D.

    ie table, with objects that can move and some that cant.

    If changed to a traditional GUI context, its just a large wide Slider. If X pos > 90%, window_open();

    You cant patent, its LOOK, or its name, or what happends after.

    Its just the same as a rotational wheel in walkmans that clicks on/off at level 0 to -1.
