I think as far as the average computer user goes, anything that requires them to understand how to control layers and the difference between raster and vector is approaching a level of complexity that's unnecessary for simple photo editing.
Ehh, it doesn't matter. When marketing says anything about the capabilities of the system, all of the claims are exaggerated to the point where they're not useful anyway.
The article said only wrist movement was required for most of the gaming... and I'm sure someone who spends as much time gaming as you do has very developed wrist muscles.
Idunno.. but the part about him loading the entire 16-hour unabridged audio version of "The Da Vinci Code" on his iPod Nano, made me laugh and taste vomit at the same time. I was still trying to get over the "smitten" thing, and it took me totally by surprise.
Then I moved on to where he talks about the lanyard with built-in earbuds.. I was expecting him to use adjectives such as "precious" or "marvelous" or "stupendous" but I was disappointed.
For the bathroom mirror, Fog-X might be perfect, but for other applications, it's probably better to have a coating that's actually part of the glass, and not just smeared on with a paper towel.
Nobody will argue that a fork isn't the end result of this.
The problem is that the branch that will continue along the same path that is has been all along is also the branch that will be required to change its name.

I really dig Mambo.. they take the firefox approach and make a solid CMS infrastructure with the basic features most people need and the community creates components/modules to extend that functionality... some free, some not.
Well, the picture in the first article gives a clue to the drug company's solution to that problem: They get to charge you for treating GHS (ginormous hand syndrome) which is apparently is a side effect of ingesting pineapple extract.
If they were to go away, it certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings any.
I know that people are cheap, but I still have a hard time to understand how they can put so much effort into downloading poor quality shaky-cam recordings of first run movies, and then enduring the terrible compressed audio and shaky blurry video instead of just going to the damn theater.
But... I suppose downloading free porn from The Pirate Bay is better than watching it scrambled on cable tv.
I went back and played Blaster Master with an NES emulator.. and there wasn't much nostalgia to speak of. I hated that game back in the day... it was just so damn hard. But with the added feature of quick save/quick load, I cheated my ass off and finished it.
I just recently finished the Legend of Zelda game on the Gamecube, Wind Waker, and decided to go back and play some of the older ones.
I went through the first two on the NES in a weekend, and then moved on to A Link to the Past on the SNES. After that I finished Link's Awakening on the Gameboy.
All of them were just as fun (and much less tedious) than Wind Waker.
Link's Awakening is one of my favorite Zelda games, but it seems like very few people have played it.
Awesome movie. I heard they were going to re-release it to theaters.. but I don't know if they canned the idea, or if they already did and my podunk town just never got it. (or maybe it just hasn't happened yet)
Well since the hardware used in the article is a friggen Dell, I'd consider the Mactel machines to be closer to the VW Bug kit car end of your analogy.
The only difference I can see is that Apple 'enthusiests' may mock you for paying too little for your computer, even though the only difference will be a missing chip on the motherboard.
As I mentioned before in this thread, I live upstairs from a movie theater. Friday nights are terrible in the summer.. loads of the little shits are running around outside scraming their asses off... or worse, touching my car.
If they're touching my car, I threaten them holding a baseball bat.
If they're just screaming, I put about an inch of toilet bowl cleaner (20% hydrogen chloride - The Works is a good one, and only $.94 at wal-mart) in a two liter bottle along with 10 dime sized balls of aluminum foil and drop it in the garbage can next do them.
2 minutes later comes the explosion, which sounds about as loud as a shotgun. The kids yelp, hit the ground, and it's quiet for the next ten minutes.
If that doesn't do it, the paintball gun comes out and I snipe them from the roof.

Last time this was posted on Slashdot, the article said it was based on Firefox. That, and all of the extensions it supports are FireFox extensions.

No... that's what I do. I was just answering the question.
Because not deleting useless crap feels messy.

I can't believe she compared SCO to the Red Sox.
She truly is a terrible person.

I don't think he's saying that graphics don't matter... just that they might not be the biggest part of what makes a game fun to play.
In other words, Need For Speed: Dumb Ricer Edition is going to be lame no matter how pretty they make it.

Man, it sounds like those guys have so much fun.

The ladies might not visit, but if the AIBO is capable of voice recognition, maybe you can hack it to obey the command: "Get me a beer, bitch"

Funny, I always thought Fox News was the only one that considered Fox News to be centrist.
Yes.
No kidding, man.
