Roland is a pretty big name in the world of synthesizers, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the artist had been composing on a Roland keyboard, the music really does sound great.
I wish I'd had one of those sound cards back in the day!
During the 90s one problem I had consistently was crappy audio cards with small or otherwise inadequate wavetables, the artist would do their best to make some kickin' sounds and I'd end up hearing semi-controlled garble a lot of the time.
I'm sad to say that because of this most of the time I just disabled sound and played the game with other music playing.
It was only weird when some music synced up to what I was playing, purely by chance.
Yes, I believe I stated that in my previous post. The iPad *is* an appliance, no doubt, does it (or similar devices) leave the average consumer wanting more though?
Is the desire to buy into the walled garden implanted by marketing or is it something people really want? "There's an app for that" Really? For everything?
A game console is an appliance, it does one thing really well. Does the consumer who buys into the "walled garden" concept really understand what that means? Do they understand they are getting an appliance and not a platform? If they don't then I think that a bubble is already forming around this new breed of devices.
I guess the problem I'm having with this is that in general people want more out of their devices not less, or are willing to sacrifice features for some other tangible benefits.
I guess the thing that is on my mind is, when someone buys into the "walled garden" will they see its limitations, turning it into a temporary market/fad?
So, here's a question. Does the "average" user who picks up an iPad expect it to be capable of more than what it does out of the box?
This is something I just don't know, I bought a Netbook last year and even with that I could install whatever would run on it reasonably, I know I don't like the feeling that I'm limited to what I can run not because of hardware limitation but because of a conscious designer-driven decision (but that's just me.)
Whew! You know when I think about all the boxes full of crapola I've hoarded over the years it reminds me that I should just send that stuff to the electronics recycling centre instead of having it take up my precious living space.

Really can it be rolled around a pencil?
Not sure why batch is such a bitch, but you can execute shell commands with Ant.
Soooo, like, some software is hard to use?
Maybe it's the pills I'm on, maybe it's the lack of caffeine, but could someone maybe explain the point of this article to me?

I just had a conversation over IM in regex patterns about Jack Kirby, there is no hope for me now...
Very cool project, I can't wait to see this baby in action!
That said, someone already mentioned the project vehicle name, but we all know it should have been Odin: Photon Sailer Starlight.
I suddenly feel very nerdy, much more so than normal.

Trouble is, cartels tend to work outside of the free market...
If they treat consumers as enemies they will become enemies.

Based on estimates, I have had meaningful relationships with many, many hot ladies.

Just make new goddamn movies, how hard is that???
You want my movie-going dollar? Stop giving me an experience I could rent more than 10 years ago.
don't worry, there's an upgrade coming...
Is there a way to remove the pre-installed version of Flash from Chrome?

Twitter is really just IRC, but instead of just logging channels you can also log users.
Haha that would make sense.
