It is not fucking smug is it? I understand, and I am in the same position, you need to code to the lowest common denominator. But it is not smug, it is being correct, and being pissed of at the people (in Microsoft) who have made a lot more work for you.
Yeah, I know. How could anyone adjust from ie to firefox, they are completely different. And Outlook to thunderbird, who has heard of such a thing. And Office to OO, that is impossible. it would take a company of geniuses.
Agree, every computer I have run ie on, (ie6, ie7, ie8), whether it was P4 or dual core, it has run slowely. In loading pages, or creating new tabs. It seems to pause for 1 second before opening a new tab (or window on ie6).
Look, I am not the target audience for this either, but that doesn't make my brain retarded enough not to see the benefits to other people. Are you really that stupid that you can not see the benefits to loads of people?? What is the advantage for them to spending more money and getting a bigger machine.
What the fuck does that have to do with anything at all?
THe fact is, you people are looking around for reasons why people don't like the show you like, most can't even believe that that is possible, and it must be due to scheduling issues.
People don't like sci-fi anymore (the masses, not us). It is that fucking simple.
Except that I am sure Apple has to hand over a certain amount of money to the record labels. So a $200 card, they may have to hand over $180, and they get nothing from the consumer.
So actually something is being stolen, from Apple to the Music companies. They don't miss out, they would be loving this. All of a sudden, they are getting millions from Apple due to China.
So you are saying that these guys are going to be bigger publishes of the DirectX 10 interface than Microsoft? They will give more users access to DX10 than even Microsoft can do? I don't believe it.
Or even more likely, one of the 100s of new pro-microsoft people this place seems to have been invaded with. This has ALWAYS been an anti-Microsoft site. There used to never be any complaints about the Microsoft bashing, because even if it wasn't entirely true, they deserved it.
Ok calm down. First of all, the browser on the Nokia is shit compared to the touch. The touch is a lot slimmer device as well. Sure, the Nokia can do more, and does have flash lite, which can't do everything that flash can do.
The touch is a great device, small, lightweight, with the best mobile browser you will find. Just go and try it out before you buy.
One of the big problems with j2me, is that you would never be able to use all the jsrs, since they weren't supported on every phone. j2me was a huge mess. every j2me implementation was different as well.
It was a nice try, but needed to be strictly controlled.
Mate, I have used all the phones pre-iphone, and their browsers were shit. If you find this a difficult concept to understand, then that is your fault. The iPhone has the only useable browser on a mobile phone. That simple.
Windows Mobile always had the worse browser, the screen would look nothing like the actual webpage. Or maybe you like it like that? Is that too subjective?
You people don't get it, and never will. You hate the iphone, we get it. YOu have no basis for doing so, but go ahead, run with it.
Disagree completely, the iPhone is very easy to program for. This is from someone who never did Mac programming, or objective-c, and has been programming Microsoft since dos4.01 days. I got my first application running in a few hours, was published in two weeks of getting my license. Apple provide a very easy experience to get up and going, free tools, great tool chain and ide.
Now, if they could just fix up the useless error messages, and the many problems of the certificate chain it would be fantastic. I spend a lot of my time just getting apps on the device, or ready for the store.
And google will become popular for developers when its handset does. I would love to start working on that beast.
It is like saying, I stopped punching you in the arm, now I am kicking you in the leg, and you are still complaining?? Some people just aren't happy.
Microsoft tried to do the right thing with UAC, but they fucked up. Should I really get this message when I copy a file? What the fuck for? They made it to onerous.
Congratulations coward, you must be very proud, all up to talking yourself up, but not even willing to identify yourself. Yes, you must clearly be a superior programmer, hiding behind your veil of secrecy.
Microsoft is shit, anyone who disagrees hides behinds cowards, such as yourself. You know it is true, or you would come out into the open. Off you go little boy, I will keep raking in the money, advising my clients, those few who are still in business and think Microsoft is the shit, that they are rather the shit. Much like you, little girl. Of you go, little girl, to your sourcesafe barbie collection.
Sort of. I am very bitter at having to get an application working on Vista, over the last few weeks. I hate Microsoft for that.
What I said may have been harsh, but is in no way trollish. Just ask anyone who has had to do cross-browser web development. I make no apologies for that.
I understand most people have better things to do than worry about which browser they are using, but damn it makes my life a lot harder.
And Microsoft primary source of revenue is from computer software. So when we all stop using Computers, they are fucked. For the same reason we can't trust IBM, Sun Oracle, etc...
Which is going to go first, do you think?? Adds or computers? Or maybe you are just a fucking moron?

fuck off you idiot. So i guess it is useless for anyone to ever report any benchmarks according to your moronic theory.

What if it got lost in the mail, as happens every minute all over the country, is it still no muss, no fuss, you fucker? What a stupid comment.
You know, I just say no. Maybe say no a couple of times. Hey, but you have got your magic story, you go right ahead, looking like an idiot.
Look, I am not the target audience for this either, but that doesn't make my brain retarded enough not to see the benefits to other people. Are you really that stupid that you can not see the benefits to loads of people?? What is the advantage for them to spending more money and getting a bigger machine.
What an idiotic way to look at it? So you don't believe in fraud then?
What the fuck does that have to do with anything at all?

Fucking moron, no you should shoot yourself in the head, that would solve a lot of problems.
Unless you are 10yo, then you have an excuse for being so ignorant.

What happened, all you guys got kicked of MSN?
Rubbish, you have clearly never used the iphone browser.
The Nokia browser is jerky, slow, and unresponsive. Zoom doesn't work that well, like most mobile browsers.
Look, you can hate apple for a lot of reasons, but the browser on the iphone is great.
Memory gets cheaper and cheaper, then start to get more expensive, when it is no longer in common use.

So much rubbish. Don't believe me, check out this loser:

40 apps, all the same thing. Daysto Valentines day. Days to xmas.
Apple should ban this guy, and people like him.

They don't have to moron, google can just provide the software, as in a google appliance. Much better than that shit the Microsoft peddles.
I wouldn't trust Microsoft to keep accounts of my toenails, let alone something important.
