I'd say it would be pretty difficult for Sony not to break all the hacks.. Usually hacks rely on bytecode being in a certain location in memory, so for a release that is such a big upgrade, I'd say Sony didn't deliberately break the hacks... they just don't work any more.
Yes indeedy. Burn through your mobile phone battery power by running a visualiser whilst playing songs? I think not.
The iPod doesn't have a visualiser, why would the phone? iTunes has the visualiser. They'd be doing pretty well to port the visuliser to the phone!!
The visualiser part at least must be fake.
The very convenient combination of Microsoft Outlook 2003, a Nokia 6230 and Bluetooth. The phone and outlook automatically sync whenever I get within 20 metres of either my home or work computer, keeping both PC's and the phone in sync at all times.
Jobs is right when he says that nobody wants to watch movies on a handheld device.
Of course there will be an iTunes for movies - the software will be Apple released, and the primary client will not be a handheld device, but instead the Mac Mini - I hear its max screen resolution is far greater than normal, and it will be like a set top box for plugging into a TV or cinema display.
Nobody wants to watch movies on handhelds, although remember the Mac mini has the interface on top for transferring movies to one after downloading (the internal circuit board that has been identified as the beginning of an iPod dock.)
iTunes Party Shuffle does not appear to be entirely random... My one never picks songs that have never been played - the play count must be at least 1 to get onto the party shuffle - I'm sure there are other criteria too.
Who posts this c..p? Microsoft removing the block is the fact of the article, but the whole 'two weeks of vacation' thing just beings the quality of this website down. Editors should be ashamed.
How does a synapse know whether to remember something or not... answer - it doesn't. What we remember is only related to what synapses still function, so it something breaks, we don't remember that particular piece of information.
I personally think that the source of all human illness is basically the body forgetting how to maintain itself... critical synapses failing. But what would I know?
gMail happily detects this spam and puts it in the spam folder.
Thats all it ever intended to do.
You must realise that gMail could stop all spam so you would never see it (they would just delete it rather than putting it in the spam folder) but they elect to give you the opportunity to view it just in case their detection algorithm messes up. So whats the problem - just don't visit the spam folder.
If you have received actual spam in your inbox folder, not your spam one then you might have something to complain about.
I use iTunes for listening to music. Its all I use it for (syncing with my iPod is secondary - the end goal is still to listen to music). So if the sound is broken what is the point? I'm sure that technically it is a fine achievement but those statements say it all about the reasons widespread adoption of linux isn't taking place.
That is going to look really good beside the two brown previous boxsets. Admittedly the two previous shades of brown were slightly different, but this is a very blue shade of brown.
Shame the guy commentating hasn't been to Amsterdam - there was so much potential - there are photos of them inside those little booths in the red light area and all the comments say something inncoent about standing in a doorway! Potential ruined:(
1. The strategy employed in Windows is to stop the email bombs / zombie code being deployed in the first place.
2. I'll ignore your sarcasm. Windows has about 3 common TCP ports used to communicate. These are reported as closed rather than being connections being ignored. I like Windows. Its easy to use. Feel free to deploy whatever you want. I don't care.
I don't think it has anything to do with a competitors product.
Spreading FUD menas spreading Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt about a given product. Casting doubt on a product like this without backing it up is hardly justified, particularly in a release as important as Windows Firewall.
Save your time - don't bother.
It adds absolutely nothing to the body of knowledge. It reports that it blocks all the ports very adequately.
It also reports that it doesn't block outgoing connections from your computer! Really? Well that has been common knowledge for the last year. Windows Firewall only blocks incoming connections. This doesn't mean it is less than adequate.
It does point out that Windows responds when certain standard port connections are attempted. This is a good compromise, but hardly a hole in the firewall - it is not a hole in a firewall to block connections using certain standard ports.
And as for stopping the firewall using another Windows command - absolutely no evidence supplied.
FUD!. Windows Firewall is pretty good.
I think the letter is naive. It shows a total misunderstanding of Apples market placement or business.
Apple play to the high end of the market. They don't make their profit by selling lots of machines, they make it by selling few machines at a higher margin. Selling to the lower end would kill Apple for sure. They're smarter than that!!
I think old computers are ugly. I can appreciate the old mechanical machines, they are a true work of art, but old boxes of transistors and PCB's are just not pleasing in any way.
If some work went into aesthetic design (e.g. Apple) or were exceptioanlly groundbreaking or they defined culture (e.g. old arcade cabinets) they would be interesting but in my personal opinion they aren't (feel free not to share my point of view).
It is sort of like setting up an old dishwasher museum really. Technology has advanced but they're not that interesting to look at either.
Emulators preserve the real point of interest in old computers.

Ah well, you've got to start somewhere - there were zip iPod owners at one point you know! Every one needs a cute little Macintosh set top box!

Thats because nobody cares. But it made front page news anyway!! :)
Actually, ignore me. I don't know what I am talking about. But it has no dupe tracking.

Well, theres nothing wrong with that is there... you just happen to be in the minority.

fairly serious warts...sound is tricky....

Really?? I am indeed Red/Green colourblind... They both look brown to me. I'll have another look tonight.
I mean its Blue - not brown.
