No, it's really not helping with spotify vs sky songs. They tried an unscientific study and received unscientific and/or non-factual results. Anyone who actually buys music is a fool in the first place (unless you are a fan of an artist in which case support is appropriate).
You may as well ask people on the street if the like the color green or purple more, and assert that the more popular one is better in some way on the basis of " because more random people like it". That's about how useful the study was.
I was going to say I have no idea why they would compare entirely different codecs here. Not to mention that lots of people are simply not audiophiles or not folks with extremely discerning ears to quality. Plenty of people show that AAC/Vorbis is situational and sometimes one can work better or vice versa.
As a musician, I've had lots of times where irrespective of my quality that I play people think everything is amazing/fantastic.
there's ongoing discussion on how the issue is that people can drop something in the folder and it will be included when the program is run. The issue is that there is no opt-in requirement, so MS has done the same thing that other programs have done in the past.
Thankfully, this time something was done about it, without MS simply removing it in an update as of yet.
Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but do you know how many countries require you to have a passport to get in? All of the european union for sure. Not *once* you're in, but to get in for example.
no, it's very much about the reselling: it's against their EULA, and they basically aren't allowing it. This is grossly unconstitutional as per first sale and other things.
The game is "licensed" to you, per blizzard, and this is why the wowglider lawsuit is a big deal as well.
maybe you don't care, but lots of sales are linked to good benchmark scores. Where the intel product does worse, they're making it look as if it's better. A polished turd is still a turd.
Think of this like comcast's speedboost. It sounds great to be able to be at 50MB/s downstream, except you only get to do it for 30 seconds, thus making real downloads not receive benefit.
you're trying to run debian on the droid. Until we have some better ARM accelerating that in itself is quite hard. Custom firmware is different than straight up debian.
I agree more ram is better period but you know, there are better mobile devices for that purpose. Plenty.
You don't really need ram. With a swap and storing apps on the SD card, the ram just makes the OS run smoother. Rooted, my phone runs just as smooth as hero (and can run the hero build).
Of course the hardware will result in continual improvements to performance, but the ram by itself doesn't do what people think it does in this case.

actually, it's more like "it'll be so damn dark (if you read the article) that it will be impossible to see at nighttime".

slashdotters represent the crowd that companies like MS would like to deny when it is convenient to them.
They represent a group that enterprise and abusive corporations basically try to ignore/minimize to make them sound irrelevant.
Basically, the informed consumer. This is every abusive enterprise's nightmare.

if the first happened, it doesn't hurt to do the second as opposed to leaving in said vulnerability.
the big deal here is they never uninstalled it off the people they shoved it on. They simply gave a way to uninstall it.
Thus, now it's harder for firefox to say it's safer while said plugin is installed.
I think that's true of all phones, not just HTC.
that's because the iphone wasn't killer in the first place.
the whole thing will be over once we do.
I can't believe Patry didn't remove his traces of it and send it to wikileaks for them to make further anonymous.
occasionally companies do know to do so. Very very occasionally, and spoken as opposed to actually being done, as dell is hardly a customer friendly company.
posts like yours would also constitute a felony, as I'd consider posting an asinine comment as harassment. how's that for equal logic?
I agree, and hooking up some kind of reasonable quality camera to the laptop simply makes more complicated the "adding a reasonable quality camera".
let me rephrase if needed: this is even more stressful.
nvidia's 3d vision is no doubt what has been behind the push. Nvidia can't win on performance so they're trying to sell people into dorky 3d headsets.
No worries, this fake 3d crap will all be over when we get back to holographic graphics. Those aren't that far off.
no form of 3d involving glasses is anything other than inconvenient for a large portion of it's intended audience.
This thing has RSI and carpal tunnel written all over it, even though it's a creative idea.

that's pretty much standard worldwide, however that has nothing to do with what the OP is saying.

wow we're at 50 mb/s! etc al.
please. community is not an excuse for DRM. DRM doesn't create community, either.
This is all about their lockdown attempts. *LOTS* of people can and are bitching about it, and rightly so.
it means your right to resell the game is completely trumped since you can't sell WOW without selling your other blizzard games if they are linked.

damn, what company do you work for that lets you have a G1 for a corporate phone? I'm stuck at a workplace that sticks with blackberry only, etc.
