  1. So what. A thinkpad might have saved his life. Or a hardcover book. Or just about anything one might find in a backpack. This isn't some testament to the quality of macs.

  2. Too bad both markets are equally worthless. Designing a profitable mobile app these days is like winning the lottery, and even assuming you do some Chinese asshole reverse engineers it and steals all your work.

  3. They have no reputation left with anyone willing to read criticism. Tim Cook saw to that with monumental next-level stupidity.

    It's only trash if you buy trash. The latest generation of nvidia mobile GPUs is actually quite good.

    Wrong. Gamers love laptops as a portable secondary device.

  6. You're assuming they read anything. More likely the entire submission selection process is automated by this point. It's trashdot after all.

    They're more interested in charging you more money for feature incomplete folding phones which is so much more brave than everyone else. They don't have time to be concerned about such things.

    Another guy who's a webdev that doesn't want to call himself a webdev. You know what's really easy? Running a virtual machine. Not only can you mirror your production environment to work but the host OS you use ceases to matter.

    ...which is why ars is no longer worth reading. Everything is clickbait with them.

    Have you looked at the current state of Star Citizen? It still has more content than No Man's Sky.

  11. You're looking at the wrong number. You should be looking at the vote totals. Since you have to pay in order to leave a rating this makes perfect sense.

    Most gamers aren't willing to cut their nose off to spite their face, which is why Linux remains unpopular for gaming.

    This would have played better if you said something like "I'm an embedded systems guy, and I use a mac" and then followed it up with an interesting story of some kind about your time in the industry. Going out of your way to try to sound superior and authoritative without demonstrating your knowledge in some way sets off bullshit detectors.

  14. What ScentCone is saying rings true in a lot of ways. The US isn't always right, and it doesn't always act in the best interests of others. However the world is a lot better off with the US doing what it's doing than without. If nobody tried to keep world peace and maintain some semblance of order you would unquestionably have another Caesar, Hitler, Genghis Khan, etc trying to conquer everything again. Would-be world conquerors tend to be dictators that crush everything that doesn't fit their exact world view.

  15. It's a transmission across the space time continuum from the future to the past warning about what will happen should we not change our ways. Hundreds of years of browsing mildly amusing cat videos has mutated us in to an angry warlike race unable to form a thought that doesn't include Hitler in some way.

  16. Agreed, BeauHD in particular needs to go.

    Yeah, but that had more to do with the milking to death of the franchise and re-releasing the same shit every few years with slightly different scenes. If Bond movies came out remastered every 3 years you can bet they would have destroyed star wars in terms of profit.

    Dumb luck causes Tesla's "autopilot" to look more ingenious than it actually is.

  19. That's not really the point. The point is that with Android you have other options. With iOS you don't.

    She's been in more hit movies than most actresses, is talented, and instantly recognizable. Carrie Fisher is usually only recognizable when she's rattling off Star Wars quotes in parodies.

    I duno why this is getting modded down. The woman was literally a 1-hit wonder that never went on to do anything else that was worthy of note. Any number of actresses could have played the part, but she happened to be in the right place at the right time.

    Wrong. if you actually look at the benchmarks you'll see it's all over the place for the games that actually do work with it which is very hit and miss. Nobody is stopping you from throwing your money away, but try not to spread your delusions to people actually looking for facts.
