  1. Location on iPad Review · · Score: 1

    My iPad has no 3G, therefore it has no GPS. But applications were constantly asking me for permission to use my location. This seems like an oversight: if you don't have a location sensor, don't ask! Even the built-in Map app asked me for information that it could not possibly have.

    The iPhone and iPad can both find your location using Wi-Fi.

    No, Systemax bought the brands after they went out of business.

  3. Re:Using an iPhone makes you look pretty lame? on Why Japan Hates the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Ha, that works too. :) When I did it I didn't find any free apps and I only wanted to transfer one ringtone, so. :b

  4. Re:Using an iPhone makes you look pretty lame? on Why Japan Hates the iPhone · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's not necessary to crack the iPhone to copy over ringtones, but it's not super simple, either. It's been a while since I've done, but if I remember correctly you just cut out the piece of song you want in your favorite audio editing program, encode that to m4a in iTunes, change the extension to .m4r, then reimport that to the Ringtones section of iTunes.

    Harvey was pissed that Gordon didn't listen to him about the traitors in his group.

  7. Re:Been browsing and it's severely lacking... on Apple Launches ITunes App Store With 500+ Apps · · Score: 1

    Good news, it's already been cracked.

  8. Re:Holy Rusted Metal Batman! on Fun Dance Dance Revolution Mod Hits the Pavement · · Score: 1

    If you don't mind dropping $350 on your hobby, I highly recommend a Mymybox Blueshark. I've owned one for a couple of years now and it's still going strong, and I play 10s and above (the ones rated higher than a 10 being on a similar dancing game called In the Groove) so it's definitely taken quite a beating.

  9. Re:Adium on AOL Opens Up the AIM Instant Messaging Network · · Score: 1

    I was interested in this too, unfortunately, it's probably not going to happen due to the license (link).

  10. Re:Geez... on Protecting Final Fantasy XI From the Gil-Sellers · · Score: 1

    Mm, Qufim's not too bad. I personally find Kazham to be the new Dunes, because you spend a lot of the time fighting Mandragoras that have that stupid AoE sleep move.

  11. Re:Geez... on Protecting Final Fantasy XI From the Gil-Sellers · · Score: 1

    The new hotness is going to Ghelsba Outpost and soloing from 10->19. The mobs are low EXP, but you kill so fast that your EXP/hour is the same, if not better than your typical Dunes party. After those levels, you can continue to solo on BST-mob's pets, but it can be dangerous.

  12. Re:new ad campaign ineffective, misses point on Zune Team Getting Amnesty for iPod Use · · Score: 1

    Yep, it's not like you could do the logical thing and oh, I don't know, rip the music from those CDs you bought.

  13. Re:Yay! on NiGHTS Into Dreams Remake Now Official · · Score: 1

    Sonic Rush was excellent, but it wasn't developed by Sonic Team, rather, Dimps handled it.

  14. Re:Business people annoy me on Nintendo Refutes Wii Shortage · · Score: 1

    Smash Brothers wasn't a Rare effort, nor was Star Fox (except for Star Fox Adventures).

  15. Re:Jumpgate? on EVE Devs Admit To Misconduct · · Score: 1

    Ah, Vendetta Online. I used to play it when it had something like, ~150 players concurrently. Now it's down to ~15.

  16. Re:Downloadable demo on Gran Turismo HD for PS3 Impressions · · Score: 1

    What?

    You download the demo via your PS3 over a little thing called the internet. How'd you jump from downloadable demo to lack of copy protection mechanism?

  17. Re:Where Is The Innovation? on Miyamoto Talks Wii-mote Logic · · Score: 1

    One handle = having a persistent name across all games (see gamertags on Xbox Live), not one-handed gameplay.

  18. Re:Wait.... on Gamestop Not Taking Wii/PS3 PreOrders Yet · · Score: 1
    When I was browsing in the store I saw some guys approach him with a copy of Oblivion and asked him if there was multiplayer in it. He told them that there was "probably some mod for it that gives online play."
    Well, there is, even though it's a WIP.

    We did this with a 40 GB hard drive back in high school for a project. In fact, if there was anything we could add a window to, we did it.

    Try Path Finder. I've been running it for a year or so and don't think I'd ever be able to go back to regular Finder. I just wish the 4.0 update would hurry up and get here, as it's shaping up excellently.

  25. Re:Whats the point (of posting w/o RTFA)? on Datels 4GB Hard Drive for PSP Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Where'd you get the impression that it'll run for around 24 hours? The PSP they're testing hasn't died yet, but when it does, the comparison will be updated within 24 hours of it being posted.
