what are you talking about? Nobody's gonna buy your app if it's that expensive. Sell it for free and people might download it. Again, I'm super skeptical that you're making anything worth a penny, even if you feel like charging for more.
Nobody supports your bullshit of "lets charge iphone app pricing". Even iphone app pricing is a ripoff.
H264 doesn't guarantee the end user either. They only grant the producer or however H264 refers to it.
Remember how the MPEG group simply hasn't gone after end users. If they do, they're going to have a hard time proving anything since that'd mean they'd go after VP8 but not H264. Easy court dismissal.
MPEG has absolutely zero case on this matter. It's just saber rattling and wah wah we're gonna lose royalties to competition.
google doesn't have guarantee anything involving protection of patent violations. They own the goddamn codec and thus control development. This is unlike MPEG. Unless MPEG can magically prove that not only A: there's something in VP8 that infringes on a MPEG patent (which wouldn't immediately and easily be invalidated once they say which patent it is), but b: this would assume that an open source codec cannot work around a patent restriction, which is quite safe to assume is very real and possible, and also c: that google won't just take MPEG to court and basically prove that they can't do jack shit to patent encumber VP8.
H264 is on many things, but there are many it isn't and won't be unless MPEG says that it can be royalty free permanently.
There are plenty of universes where middle-men are needed. Ever heard of backbone internet service? Yeah. Let's just take out the middle man! There are lots of arguments for having middle-men for services. Meanwhile, if it wasn't for the people who are "Scalping" lots of places wouldn't be able to get the device (early or otherwise). Again, what's the problem with this? It's apple's fault it's not available in said places.
Think about what you are saying with that.
Also, apple cannot stop anyone from selling. It's a US made product and right of first sale does apply.
Lastly, where do you come up with that garbage? People can buy things to give it to others. What if I want to buy 4 Ipads, say to give to my family. What, I can't, because of the 2 limit? Get a fucking grip.
Apple's limit helps nobody. It's a crock of bullshit.
you're correct. Apple doesn't want anyone reselling for profit other than themselves, and neither do the ticket sellers (and their distributors).
So really, both situations are damn straight that this was a horrible call by apple. You absolutely cannot stop people from reselling crap they buy, whether with licenses, contracts, or agreements. Linking to an ID thing just meant that you'd have to have multiple people buy the products for you.
true, that stuff is even better, but it's a little more expensive too. 32GB is like $70. You're correct though. you could even bring a camera and leave it in the camera, and they'd probably not even look at it or even know how to do so.
DX11 is indeed MS's fault, because MS is the creator of DX11. However, it's actually not ignored by the industry. If it was, Nvidia and AMD wouldn't make DX11 hardware (and they both do).
It's an improvement over vista and xp, but it could be better.
Please. why does this have to be so complicated? A flash drive will do. Maybe a 16GB one which is like $30 US? Keep it in your pocket, and they won't even know you have it. Hell, keep one in each pocket, and you have 32GB of porn coming in the country.
I was thinking this too. Plenty of people who have bandwidth caps are going to be none too pleased either. I know they say that people will have an option to choose whether to allow "p2pflash" or not, but that doesn't state if it will run when you're not watching videos.
just like the voluntary DNA swabs, giving me all your money or all your accounts and account information is voluntary too! but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Also, someone having this information does mean that they could be compelled to give it up by legal authorities or others. So yes, privacy is a concern.
The rest of us do have gaming parties which don't involve everyone being in their own home. You know, social gaming and stuff, not all in their parent's basements. Or gaming competitions, tourneys, etc.
It's almost like 640k should be enough for everybody or something!/sheesh man.
also, I thought the world claimed it was multi-core? This teardown summary says it's single core.
A4 is a System-on-a-Chip, or SOC, that integrates the main processor [ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore i.e. Multi-Processing Core, identical to ones used in nVidia Tegra and Qualcomm Snapdragon]

maybe you should try looking. the shit is quite well documented and not at all as complex as your spin is implying.
or an out of control car coming towards an intersection whose engine is now cut off and out of control going through a red light.
yes. the rest is saber rattling and spin. Until it goes to court and they show their patents, they have nothing.
troll spotted.
bet you meant for that one to be anonymous, eh?
really?
have you ever heard of FOSS? They sure have no problem.
negative. moderate.
wait, so magically they couldn't do this research without patents?
one might wonder how we did medical research in the 1900's or something! /facepalm
what the fuck are you talking about?

Yes, correct.
haha yes, I think that's what red flayer was thinking originally too.

much improved? It *IS* vista.

research isn't that expensive.
When are people going to realize that pharmaceutical and medical research isn't that expensive?
it's infinitely more complicated than most things, but we wouldn't have the industries we have today if they were magically prohibitively expensive.
oh, you mean my computer isn't compromised?
I thought I was just getting some free vi@gr@?
because then we wouldn't be using NTFS.
so the people who can't pay want something for free? It's not about capability to even scrounge cash.
What is your argument for those who are in countries that paypal does not serve?
Should they just not even pirate the game because surely these "hobos" can afford to pay a system that won't accept it?
Yes, you forgot, it's slashdot, where an anonymous comment will troll up a thread because someone RTFA.
one of the pluses for you, you mean.

meanwhile, from the summary:
