Portable devices barely even come close to the performance of a desktop computer. Ram is very limited in portable computers, so is hard disk, and processing speed... and battery life, and screen size.
Its just dumb. Stop. The desktop is here to stay. I work on them all the time, and theres no way I could use a laptop to do 3D animation, or photography, or browse the web as easily etc. Did i mention gaming???????????????!
Seriously... if you only see failure in the party you hate, you're not seeing the whole picture.
Take that hate, and hate them ALL with us. Not just Obama, or the democrats... but the republicans to.
Lets put aside "Jesus" and "Abortion"... and lets actually pick up shovels and start filling the fucking hole left by the these criminal con artists we call elected representatives.
What are we afraid of? our own actions? Well then we certainly shouldn't be hiding them. We should be rethinking them.. but first we must know the truth.
Release it all.
The government has screwed over our own people for many years now. Time for a little pay back.
;) I WIN!!!!!!! Ok seriously, I apologize for being silly.
Well it is hard to find a device without ads is it not? It appears that Google and Apple are at war over the same thing in many respects.
I'm not sure we can really escape the ads, as I think we are the mercy of all of these companies who seem to have the same idea, which is to sell ad space.
We own the TV, we pay for the cable to view HD content, but we're still sold ads. The rare exception would be HBO and its clones.
Even Xbox 360. Its an Advertisement platform now. Despite paying for Xbox live, you still get ads. Like it or not.
Sure we could all simply avoid technology all together, but that doesnt help us or humanity;) I think the goal for these companies is to sell ad space, because we are at their mercy and they dont care.
The is limited bandwidth and screen space on cell phones. I dont think many would want ads on their phones.
Hell think about landlines. We have "DO NOT CALL" lists because people are tired of harassing telemarketers.... and yet the business still exists, and people ignore the law.
the goal for these companies is to sell ads. We're at their mercy... and I simply say "NO"
Hey I've been doing graphics professionally since the SGI days... and I only do 3d character modelling and animation on PCs.
I also do studio photography, and once again.. all on PC.
The graphic design/mac thing is a myth. There are some who use macs for such thing, but every game/film studio i know of... has an army of artist working on PC workstations.
Macs are mostly used for final cut. Everything else can be done on a PC just fine... and in many cases better due to the mac having a limited software selection.
Yes I speak with with a naughty words and say naughty things.... and you dont.
You're so superior in every way.. I'm sorry I ever touched a keyboard before consulting you, sir.
I'm sorry sir, i dont mean to repeat myself, because I know how intelligent you are, but If you missed it... I said I dont give a fuck about their business model. Thats their job. Its my job to get what I want out of a device by being a conscientious consumer.
I know you still await my business proposal but it is neither my job, nor interest. I simply dont want a device with a spam api built in.
And in conclusion... The only toddlers here that have been fouled, are the ones your infected penis so rudely emptied its worthless seed in.
BTW I dont have a business model in mind because Its not my business. I'm the user. I dont give a fuck what business wants. I DONT WANT ADS ON MY PHONE.
ah... I see you went for the classic, intelligence insult. Interesting move. Let me counter it with the classic, "you're a racist" move. You hate blacks and jews. Hitler would be proud of you.
See you made the classic mistake of thinking that the intelligence play is a good move. Its not. In fact it can always be beaten by the racist move. I WIN!. You fucking racist asshole.

I installed Weave but i did not try it out of fear. many user comments havent been positive. People have been complaining about bugs that mess up the bookmarks etc.
Also I think Weave syncs account names and passwords without the option to disable that feature.
I wouldnt say Safari is constantly improving. It has remained a useless browser up until version 4. Most if everyone simply ignored version 4 and still dont use Safari.
This is Apple's 5th attempt at getting you to use your their browser. Actually you could say its the 6th attempt if you count that lame html5 feature preview stunt they tried the other day.

I'll take this moment to remind GOOGLE, that Chrome still has no color management or true ad blocking capability.
Safari does have color management, Firefox has color management IE has color management
Chrome... nothing.
I actually like chrome in general... but I find Firefox to be much better still. Firefox performs better older hardware, and scrolls better. Firefox has better bookmark management. I do like google's synced bookmarks but I just simply use Xmarks on firefox. I wish both xmarks and google didnt spy on my bookmarks and synced them... but thats probably way too much to ask for in todays world.

Firefox still beats them all with Adblock.
Chrome still lacks any real download filtering. Chrome's add block still downloads ads but it simply doesnt display them. I like chrome, but this kills it. Firefox actually performs much better because of this.
Firefox scrolls much better than chrome or safari.
The problem is the manner in which Apple has gone about their open standards push.
At the heart of it, Apple is right, in that openness should be our goal. However everyone knows that Apple is not about openness. Apple has always been about strict control.
The manner in which they've shut Adobe out, is what is suspect. If Apple were for true openness, they would allow Adobe to make flash apps for iphone / ipad.
Here you have a conflict of interest. Apple is developing a competing product to Flash. Apple is using the excuse of openness, to strong arm Flash out of the market and their devices.
After all, openness is a good thing, so how could anyone disagree with Apple right? Its just not that simple.
If you read their "Thoughts on flash" thing... it is full of egotistical garbage with lines as "Apple has set the standard for Mobile browsing". This is typical Apple as its worst. They're flat out telling us that Apple sets the standards. And while they did develope webkit, and for all its openness.... Its this arrogance that Apple has, and the way they do things that defines the problem, and its all in that statement. "Apple has set the standard"
Apple wants to define what is standard.
Apple goes on to say that Adobe is multi platform focused, and how Apple doesnt want third party layers on their iphone because it "ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform" This is another selfish and arrogant statement. Here Apple is saying that you can code for their platform, as long as it is difficult for you to code for others.
If Apple cared about openness, they would let developers do what works best for them, not just for Apple. Apple simply wants to make it hard for you to develop for other platforms. This is to Apple's advantage. Just like iTunes, Apps, closed iPod sync ability, Apple Store, Quicktime, OSX... Its all about Apple, and how they set the rules. A Mac is a standard intel PC... but you cant run OSX on regular intel PCs. You have to buy them from Apple. You can buy an iPod, but you cant sync it with other software because they dont want you to. iTunes uses only quicktime containers, and they're programmed like shit on windows on purpose. You can only buy Apple stuff, at Apple stores (granted there are a few exceptions to that).
Apple makes their argument using openness, but no one has seen an ounce of openness from Apple ever. They have remained a company, like most... that do for themselves, and at their own benefit. There is more than meets the eye to this transformer. The question is, why is Apple keeping Adobe from doing their thing? Because Apple feels openness is better? Sure, but thats not the real reason. Openness doesnt include hurting another company's succesful standard. Openness would include allowing the choice between plugins, and standard html code. JUST as all browsers have for a long time now. Apple wants to change that... because Apple has a financial interest.
I welcome HTML 5, and apple's open features... but at the same time, they come with a price. That price may not even hurt the end user in the long run (although it does stall user experiene. Flash is a standard now). What it does do is benefit Apple, and hurt Adobe. Why would Apple want to do that?
Apple is in this for themselves, just like they have always been about control. Their OSX runs on standard PC hardware, but they dont allow you to run it unless you buy it on Apple PC hardware (which is the same thing).

If my bank account suddely told me I had that much money, I'd take it out and put it in an Euro bank immediately.
So Apple's poorly written plugins are ok, but Adobe's is not.
