Way faster than that... Takes around 2-3 minutes on an underpowered toy netbook. With a *real* laptop, it's probably gonna take longer to boot Backtrack then crack the key...
"ignoramuses that have filed this lawsuit (and the even BIGGER ignoramuses, like you, that now DEFEND their position) now claim is somehow APPLE'S fault."
Before calling names, I *never* said it was *entirely* Apple's fault. But, If they weren't taking 30% of the profits, you can bet they would ban those games. Besides, Apple *ARE* in a position to demand those companies give more warnings in order to have their games approved. Nowhere in the Smurf's Village does it mention you will ramp up big $$$ on daddy's Visa. That behavior should merit Capcom being banned from the App Store, and all companies doing the same.
Heck, Apple bans applications for nudity, or because they give more functionality (browsers, flash), but can't be bothered to force those companies from preying on children???
As I said, if there wasn't a 30% cut involved, those apps would have been banned a long time ago...
So yes, they are responsible, because at the end, the *only* place you can buy those apps are on the App Store.
The reason they keep this control over your apps is to protect costumers (or so they say), so it might be time they started acting on it.
TBH, the real reason why there's so much control and *we'll tell you what you like* is Steve himself.
I'm gonna have to disagree... just look at the Smurf Village game. In order to do about anything, you have to use Smurfberries (which you can buy). That game is definitely targeted at children. It's a predatory practice, kinda like those web games asking to dial in a 900 number to buy stuff for your game...
Children won't know the difference between virtual and real money and will ramp up a bill...
1- links are harder to differenciate from the text 2- Nested threads are gone 3- Slower on my older (Athlon X2/4GB) machine 4- Severe lag when typing in the comment box.
So on... Manufacturers have always sold hardware that had been *crippled* on purpose to meet demand for lower market when yield is *too* good. They're not really mods, you're just getting those parts to run the way they were designed to...

No kidding... in 2k1, a 42" Plasma would retail around what? 16k ???
I mean. most of them are rectangular boxes with 2 or 3 drivers. Heck, with the grille on, they all look the same.
This is completely ridiculous....
How the heck do they expect Samsung to build a tablet? round and angled at 90 degrees at the middle?

BTW, Farmville is no different...
Will it be released before, or after Duke Nukem ...
"They should've never made Voyager or Enterprise - they should've made a Klingon series."
-Agree, But I would have *LOVED* to see more Romulans (or even a series about them)
The design of those massive D'deridex Warbirds was just too awesome (much better then the ones from Genesis)
As for B5 vs. DS9, the similarities between both series are just too striking to be a *coincidence*
That and my speedy VIC-Modem (yes, the one you had to dial using the telephone, slide the switch to data and hang up the receiver)
I'm pretty sure it wasn't even 300 baud
Funny thing, I still have that thing...
I'd really like to see this...
TRIM will be in 10.7. Bluray, I wouldn't bet on it. When Apple is Steve-less, that might change along with other things...
...Then all the streets around donut shops will be in perfect conditions
As I'm starting Season 4, that's a nice coincidence...
So they're removing another feature...
Smartest way to kick your customers SONY...

Any way to revert to the old layout?
1- You don't get the same battery life (not even close)
2- No multi-touch on the trackpad
I know that's driver related, but still...
We know about the 30% cut for applications, but what about music, movies and TV series?
I *Loved* how copy protection banged the head out of alignment on C64 drives. The pirated ones didn't damage the drives :)

The compressor can be driven by an electric source. (As it already is in Hybrid vehicles and many modern gas-only vehicles)
Radeon 9500 > 9700
GeForce 6600 > 6600 GT
X800 Pro > X800 XT PE

Well, could take out the battery from our iPho... oh wait...
-Found On the Road Dead :)
-At least they've circled the problem
Only one Quake2 reference, and none to Bayformers :(
??? Altough I still own the machine, I don't recall that game...
God I loved that weapon...!
Not using pacman in the URL of his game...
Am I the only one to think Duh! ???
