Too much whitespace, I only have a portrait monitor at work. Can't find the threshold settings for the comments, makes comments near useless and therefore the whole website. I only come to read the comments.
Not impressed.
It's to do with pure evil I tell you, pure evil!!! X ? How many good guys have a FIRST (Don't Xavier me!) name beginning with X or a middle name. He will rule us all with the hypnotoad episode and then we are trapped forever or something else mildly daft.
Unfortunatly a severe downside is that all the adverts will now have that cursed intel tune and logo in them. Nice music track, product, {intel tune and logo} and music continues. Dam advertising, rotting my brain.
So several years ago when I was several feet shorter I spent all my money on the box set of the tapes of the original series and both tapes were there and they had a little cardboard box with the primary cover on the front and secondary on the back. Now what am I supposed to do with it? Make a little pyramid out of it? If it wasn't for the fact Im getting something great from the BBC I would be pissed that my cardboard carton is now totally useless.
My main problem with the game is the shooting. They go to all the effort of calling the game driver and I spent most of my time yesterday shooting at various guys all over the place with the crappy weapons system. You can only cycle one way through the weapons which means you can miss the gun you want and then have to spend a few seconds cycling through to find it again while you get shot at and I didn't even get around to getting out of the first map yesterday so I fear the huge amounts of weapons I could have later. Whenever the little cross hair goes red you can hit the guys your shooting at. I know it makes my life easier but I should not be able to stand at a large distance and snipe people with an uzi and kill the guys off in four shots from the clip of 34 shots or something like that. This is annoying. Also on the whole gun point why on earth do the guns have to disappear with the corpses. If there are four guys shooting at you in a wide space by the time its safe to do a quick run around and get some guns then a couple of the guns have faded into oblivion. This is really annoying especially if it happens directly in front of you.
Then there is swimming, I like it that I can fall in water and not die but seriously why is it quite so slow. I can swim around at a snails pace for about two minuets and get only short distances and then in ten seconds the health bar drops and he dies. I mean why couldn't they have sped him up a bit in the water and made the time you can be in the water shorter, it would make life less boring. And on the graphics area if your swimming towards some steps you jump straight from horizontal to vertical in a split second, this looks sloppy.
Jumping also sucks something bad. How come I can jump onto the back of a boat and walk off of the boat but I cant jump onto the front? I can jump onto the back walk up the tiny bit on the side which looks to thin for the guy to walk on but some how he can, possibly a tight rope walker, and then walk onto the front which I cant jump straight onto. Since the front of the boats is higher than the sides and the back is lower than the places you get off it is easier to get higher than the jetty or whatever your going to then jump off. This was badly done. Also when he jumps he looks like a twerp, don't ask why he just does, and then he has the nasty tendency of getting stuck and sliding about on objects which is really annoying. Then if you have decided to jump onto something you have to remember he can only jump about six inches into the air so don't expect to be going anywhere soon.
And my ultimate annoyance is that in areas where you are getting shot at a lot there is loads of health boxes, but they don't seem to be scattered around the map or anything so you can wreck a car your in and get in another but if you wreck that one and you get in another your probably going to die on your first low speed collision with say thin air. You spend twenty minuets shooting your way out of some island and then you jump off the bridge, get a new car and some gently bumps you from behind and it tells you that you just died, this sucks because I had to do it again at which point I did it but it was still annoying.
And finally why are some objects so dam solid. Large bushes and very small trees seem to have an uncanny ability to withstand being rammed by an eighteen wheeler but you try walk through other types of bushes and you can just wander through them. Garden hedges don't mind if you pass through them, actually they look identical just after a car went straight through them which is kind of dumb, they should at-least have been flattened. Lamp posts are also annoying. I still have it drilled into my head that I can pass through lampposts and take some damage and slow my vehicle down a bit which I picked up in GTA but now I still get surprised when any vehicle comes to a total utter stop when you hit them. I liked being able to knock other lampposts and traffic lights, it was fun.
On the remote thing you can get remotes you can change tracks with for the mac and probably windows too. There is an ati wonder remote.
And if your interested too if you give quicktime a codec for a file type then iTunes gains the ability to play them, my iTunes plays ogg files which is a competing format.
I also looked in one of the screenshots and it appears you can send from iTunes to multiple rooms so I am not sure if that counts as your definition of multi-room synchronization.
Oh and for fun look for the analog audio out on your computer (Normally has a speaker picture on it.) and plug your headphones or head set in it and you may be pleasantly surprised, unless you were playing something really loudly previously because your ears might be blown up a bit.
I love it when my beloved mac rumor community misses stuff like this ipod. Chaos mint knew about an ad campaighn but no numbers
'The apple rummor community was caught napping with its trowsers down'
Youl probably see most of the features 'borrowed' or 'reinvneted' by microsoft. Sounds like fun. Probably be slightly worse and look like Fisher Price made them.
Never, its for Macs A.K.A the super amazing G5 computers e.t.c
You will never seen Mac OSX on PC because it would detract from hardware sales and serverly damage profits. Getting profits in the tech sector is hard enough without hackng your legs off.
How do you know he wont just say give me some money every time you use them. They get used so much the amount he would have to charge to pull some money out of it would be miniscule. I doubt there will be any change in the 'abuse' for those who cant be bothered to dispose of ads with firewalls and/or browsers. You might ee more because anyone trying to get money from something tends to promote it, he might go around trying to make loads of webmasters start using them, and he might put some of those audio ads into the mix too. Ive had an audi ad before, annoying as hell.
If blind people are feeling particully loaded and dont mind the fact the entire pc community has a hatred for them and says they should change computer that could consider Apple.
MacOSX has some pretty neat features for the visualy impaired like white on black instead of black on white (Change the screen resolution and the colours go inverted.) which is really good if your eyes are tired because the text is more readable. You can make the mac speak all alerts and speak selected text and specch recognition for menus is standard so navigating is easy. And reasuringly the bumps on the 'f' and 'j' keys are there for some. I think this would be helpful if you wanted no hassle setting it up bt you could probably set something up wiht more effort.
Ok here what microsoft could be at: They will jump at freebie software and install and get beavering away. Later it hits them. Oh my god Im doing something ilegal, most shrug it off looking at the large amount of pirated media. Some will say, eeeeeeee must buy a liscence and give micro$haft money for a the license. Microsoft makes money out of group of students who wouldnt normally buy it. They belive there anti piracy stuff is getting better so people might want to upgrade from ilegal version to a new version in a few years (or half a decade.) Rake in some cash and hope that software they can no longer pirate is indespensible to these people.
Of course good old microsoft cant make software that cant be pirated so that view is probably BS but im as bored as hell.
When this went out on the BBC they said it was the last one ever even though there is a to be continued on it. They refered people to the website that linked to a petition about it.:)
Also what I 'think' happened was SCi-FI channel said they would have two more series (4 and 5) on a sort of 'we want them but could drop them' basis. They didnt pick up series 5 even though they were given the option to and originaly stated this was what they were going to do. Apperently series 5 was going to be the very very end, not series 4. God knows how they could of done that with the endng.
what bugs me is the guy at the end. Im not sure where he came from to be hnonest. I got confused because a cat distracted me. Too many eyes. And why does none of the other metal survive? Think about it! Masive error in the last few seconds of a great series, a bad end tsk tsk.
I find that site so god dam annoying. Its probably because I had incidents with a newbie who just switched from PC posting a new topic for every story but it made me go nuts. I mean people get it mixed up with the real sites. (God knows how) I also dont understad the humor on it but I like Jackass wich is hilarious yet so simple a child could have thought it up.
Also anyone who bashes the Mac rumor sites probably doesent use a Mac and doesent understand the whole Mac community which can be described as unique in my opinion. I doubt speculating on the next Dell would be very fun because they look shockingly the same and the changes are always 'big' and 'exciting' like no disk drive, shock shock horror horror. I supose there is just more to speculate about and take an intrest because Apples stuff is normaly quite inoativite. Also when your watching the Keynot (If they still exist) you can laugh at thr rumor sites that got it wrong you dislike and claim that it was an easy mistake to make if you liked them
And have you seen how much Apple charges us? Dont want to buy a Mac then see a new one next week. Not usualy long between anouncment and shipping unless its high end.
but apple really hates them because then we do say lets not spend and they get odd spikes in sales and then you get the im eaithinf got the model with these new features and they take ages to buy them. The buyers guide at macrumors.com shows it perfectly. Some things it says DONT BUY which is not what apple wants. Ok this is a round up but if you read rumors then you would pretty much know this.

I know nothing else about him but he won/lost an election at the same time, but he has been a cartoon charactar on the best tv program twice and done his own voice!
So you can let your friends listen to the same music and share images and all that, great. But just wait there one tiny little moment, what if they save this new copyrighted music to disk! EEK! It appears that the right hand is not talking to the left or the NetGen department is not talking to the paladium (Or whatever todays name is) department. Microsoft goes radical against piracy and violating copyright holders while microsoft encourages 13 to 24 year olds to share and enjoy there music and graphics. Even if they say you cant save because its a stream over broadband that they asume you have someone will find a way to go around. Love the two conflicting messages from microsoft.
Long live Apple!
Didnt Bush get less votes or is my memory wrong. Your electoral college lets the guy with the second moset votes win so sabotageing it cant be that bad if the most popular person doesent win. It would have been just as correct by that thinking.

Shame it's only 30 seconds long.

Well it must be a god send for the other browsers. I bet ie 7 will will have somerevolutianry new feature, snapback and tabs!
Its just another excuse to have a day off in the christmas period in the UK.
