    I saw this in my VMware Fusion Pro v7 images after updating them recently. :O

    Apple's QA is really bad these days. Companies really need to do better with their QA!

    Is that good or bad? :O

    What about ants? :P

  7. Bummer. I just use the provided closed binary driver from Debian stable. I wonder if it has ATI/AMD's closed fglrx binary drivers too.

  8. What happened to ATI/AMD? I know the company open sourced its video drivers years ago. Why are they still crappy? :(

  9. Re:Very sad on Phablet Reviews: Before and After the iPhone 6 · · Score: 1

    What about those who use old stuff like me with my Casio Data Bank 150 watch, Toshiba VCR, Sharp 19.5" CRT TV, etc.?

    I wonder if Apple will be able to optimize iOS 8 for the older iDevices like iPhone 4S. Avoiding 8 for now...

    Those games' source codes should be released too. ;)

    Sorry to hear that. I had an online friend who died before he reached 40. Same with my grandqueen. Cancer can hit anyone. :(

    And when its FIOS is available like in my home Verizon areas. :(

  21. Re:Sharing channel == worse picture quality on L.A. TV Stations Free Up Some Spectrum For Wireless Broadband · · Score: 1

    I care not about these two stations. They're not good as the old days like in the (19)80s. I used to watch Bob Ross's paintings, This Old House, Sesame Street, Nature, NOVA, National Geographic, Wild America, 3-2-1 Contact, Reading Rainbow, Square One Television (Mathnet!), The Voyage of the Mimi, etc. These days, pretty much NOTHING! :(

    Does anyone remember the very old colored animal shows (filmed in 1970s?)? IIRC, each episode was like 30 minutes, different topics, and the ending credits showed a jeep driving at a distance in a sunset driving?

  24. Re:None, seriously, none. on Ask Slashdot: What Smartwatch Apps Could You See Yourself Using? · · Score: 1

    Ditto. I still wear a Casio Data Bank 150 watch. It is old school, but useful to me since I don't use a PDA and phone. I just need a smartwatch with basic features that do not require a mobile phone: Calendar/Scheduler, phone directory, calculator, etc.

  25. Re:So what exactly is the market here. on Apple Announces Smartwatch, Bigger iPhones, Mobile Payments · · Score: 1

    I want a new watch like Casio Data Bank 150. No phone requirement. I guess this Apple watch isn't it since it requires a phone. 6th generation iPod nano would work, but it lacks features like a simple scheduler, phone directory, etc. Not even a way to install apps. :(
