Around our area, there are squirrels running across the street all the time. We call them suicidal squirrels. But those that survive, we call amateurs. When we see a carcass, we say it's the mark of a professional. I'm happy to say, all the ones that make an attempt in front of my car have been amateurs.
And it seems apparent that you think you and your opinions are superior to others. Thank you for giving me permission to think what I want, whether or not it "makes me feel better."
It's hilarious just how hard some people will try to put Apple down. The death knell has been tolling for decades. Make me feel better? Ha, I couldn't care less. I've already made my money on their stock a long time ago. If that is your "conservative prediction" you should be shorting the shit out of their stock with every dollar you have. But of course you're just a basement-dwelling mouth-breathing fAndroid who must hate Apple at any cost. Have a nice day.
I don't think you get the point I was making. The PREMISE of the movie was the non-real memories. I accept that or why watch the movie at all. The instant-atmosphere Deus ex machina was necessary to the PREMISE of the movie and was, to me, a poor choice in the writing.
Kids maybe, but what if you are the one playing games and your wife comes in because her show is on. Oh, you could tell her to pound sand, but good luck playing your other favorite "game" anytime soon, if you catch my meaning.
There is speculatable non-real and there is laughable non-real. I can take implantable memories; I can't take instantaneous atmosphere installation. Essentially, one accepts the premise behind sci-fi or what's the point of watching it? On the other hand, Deus ex machina solutions reek of poor craft.
The thing I've been trying to understand, what is the point of going to 64-bit on the processor? Surely they aren't going to have more than 4Gig of RAM on the phone already?
The one thing that struck me as odd is how much Apple is trumpeting 64-bit.
On a desktop or laptop computer I can see why you would care about 32-bit vs 64-bit; being able to address more than 4 gigs of ram is a huge selling point for 64-bit. But for a smartphone with only 1 gigabyte of ram, why should anyone (outside of developers) even care?
Just like everyone thought 64-bit was worthless on a desktop when Apple brought it there with the G5.
True. AAPL down 2.5% on this product announcement. The screen is a big disappointment.
Or up 12% since mid-August; or up 25% since mid-July; or down 40% since last October. Wow, stock prices fluctuate. Wow, people sell after they make a profit on their shares. People buy when the price falls. Film at 11:00.
First, Apple releases a tiny 7" tablet, against Jobs recommendation when he was alive. Now they come up with a cheap iPhone, further eroding Aple's premium image.
What's next, sell iPhones at Walmart??
Jobs said they wouldn't make a 7" 16:9 tablet. They made a 7.9" 4:3 tablet that has 34% more screen area. I would expect Slashdot to understand basic geometry and know that these aren't equivalent form factors.
You would be disappointed. Slashdot still thinks patent wars are over rounded-rectangles.
'[W]hen you're in the middle of a game and someone wants to watch TV, you can just grab a Vita and keep on playing.
Who the fuck cares about that? Anybody with enough disposable cash to buy gaming systems likely makes the kids play the damn games on the old TV sitting in the other room. I sure as shit don't let the teenagers play games on my living room TV. To the basement, you snot-nosers!
Agreed, people only hated Total Recall because it ruined the purity of the original. And we'll see the same when Robocop comes out too.
That said on it's own, I enjoyed Total Recall remake quite a bit. By no means a perfect movie, it could have been a lot worse.
Did they keep the dumb part where Arnold is on an atmospheric-less Mars with his eyes bugging out and he somehow survives long enough for the atmosphere to be fully created by the magic martian machine?

You forget fee-collection fees.

My ID is older than your ID, you can get off my lawn, son.
Pro-tip: ID is not necessarily related to age. Some of us are so old that we forgot our password and had to start over.
Actually, the Alpha brought it to the desktop.
For RISC, yes. I was referring to CISC, as in mainstream desktops, not specialized workstations.

Down another 5% today, wise guy. The market has stated unambiguously what it thinks of Apple's latest product introduction.
Of course this two day drop followed a huge run up in anticipation. People are taking profits. Not news.

Video gaming isn't just for kids any more.
Yes it is. And get off my lawn.

exactly, under capitalism man exploits man as equals, under communism man exploits main as totalitarian ruler, completely the other way around.
You do not know what communism is.

Memory bandwidth.

Nice quote from LAST QUARTER. This is when everyone is holding off for the new iPhone.

If you're worried about that just use the old password system? The fingerprint thing isn't a requirement...
Stop using logic. You are confusing the haters.
I can unlock my iphone with my johnson.. so I can tell that I fuck apple.
Is that because your fingerprints are all over you johnson?

1) Same old shit, nothing new.
2) Apple is dead, dead, dead.
3) Android is better because of blah, blah, blah.
4) I'm already in line.
I don't need a $600 anal dildo, thanks.
I guess your $29 one is working just fine.
Well, remaining mentally and physically active has been linked to prolonged life spans . . .
not just linked. there's a concrete relationship: 100% of dead people are neither mentally nor physically active.
Exceptions: zombies, vampires.
Did the Season Pass define what consists of a "season"?
