Apple makes virtually nothing themselves - they design, and use a slew of Asian contract manufacturers to build their products
Isn't that the case with pretty much every PC maker out there?
Anyway, Apple these days makes me sad. I like OS X, but I don't really like their hardware anymore. Remember the original iMac, or the sunflower one? The clamshell iBook? The G4 Cube? They had such interesting and unique designs. Their current stuff, though... most of what they have is some slight variation of a featureless slab. So refined, so minimalistic, so elegant, so chic, so skull-numbingly boring.
Beats would be the wrong company, if all Apple wanted was a headphone maker. But they also intend to build a music streaming service, which Beats had, with all the licensing deals already in place.
Yes, movies are shot at 24FPS. Isn't that horrible? We have sound and color, but we're still using that same piss-poor framerate from the silent movie era!
That was not Brazil, I assume. I've only seen a Blackberry here once, in some in-store kiosk, years before smartphones became mainstream. Nowadays, everyone has Androids, iPhones, even WP, while Blackberry has vanished.
Valve just didn't deliver. I wanted to give SteamOS a try, but they don't even provide a disk image. Instead, it's a zipped folder with files to be copied to an USB drive. I still couldn't figure a way to make it an iso or something that VirtualBox will accept. Other than that, just reading the installation page, the whole thing still seems to be very crude. I thought it'd be interesting to see a major game developer pushing for Linux, but if I were to use Linux, why would I go with SteamOS instead of any of the several good distros that are already out there?
Slashdot Mirror
He didn't say Nye is not a scientist, but that climatology is not Nye's field (it is mechanical engineering, actually).
A $150 card will beat the Xbone right now.
Quake 3 looked really good on the Dreamcast.
Watch Dogs is just a shitty port. But from what I heard, the rather modest (sub-$150) GTX 650Ti will handle Titanfall better than the Xbox One.
Whoa.
No, you moron, it is hardware.
That is one of the few exceptions, along with certain colorful iPhone and iPod models. Everything else is boring metal slabs.

Hiring a non-computer executive? What's next, will they hire one from a soft drink company?
Whoosh. The target of the joke is Samsung.

How about: use headphones, not earbuds.

Because the H-4 was a cargo plane, I suppose.
"The people"? It must be some communist ploy!

Indeed. The piece of shit that came out was almost nothing like the Halo that they had promised.
You mean a handegg.
No need to go for the black market, it's already widely available.
In civilized countries, education is public and fully tax-paid anyway.
Also, all the fauna is out to kill you.
How about this one?
Think you got it bad? Here in Brazil they sell a Firefox phone for $150, and any half-decent Android one goes for about $250.

A TV is for watching television.
I think it's for connecting game consoles, media players, and whatnot. But indeed, it has no business being "smart".
