  1. Pretty Much, My master friends always throw mods, and joysticks at me... "Cortana - Xbox on, Cortona - Start Destiny" while i hold a beer in one hand, and pizza in the other.. and plop down on the couch... Sure you can rig up your pc for a couch scenario, But then, I would have to put my beer down to mess with the wireless keyboard/mouse, thus, limiting more beer room on the coffee table.. It just never ends with PC's, that GPU you bought 6 months ago for $1,000, well, the other guys released a better card for $300 as you weep. Console owners just really dont care .. IN n OUT and back to RL, "Cortana - Goto Sleep"

    Why Hack it when it just works? Had this thing running for the last 5 years, not a single reboot/dropped connection... It does what its suppose to. Its a consumer device.

    No - I refuse to restrict myself to your definition of "modern full-feature DE's". There is really no need for these desktop environments. - Who are you trying to fool? GUIS are there to assist you. Sure some platforms overly assist the user, but living in a terminal/command line might actually slow you down at times. Why not be able to get all the information you need at a glance, vs scrolling through log files/grepping your life away. Not trying to troll, but you might be the exception.

  10. Re:Sucks on Has Google Shut Down SMS Search? · · Score: 1

    The problem is not relying on google 411, the problem is google feeding its customers apps, the pulling them out because they're "beta" or no longer fit their model. Ill remind you again, when google pulls gmail from out beneath your feet.

  13. Re:Observations on BB10... on RIM Unveils BlackBerry 10, Its Big Turnaround Hope · · Score: 1

    These "Apps" you speak off, were not available during iOS or Android street dates. Legacy Blackberry apps have failed, lack off screen size, resources or just plain developers think they can charge $4.99 for a theme because its an "Enterprise" phone. I think RIM (now Blackberry) needs to start some base quality/standard testing on their market apps.

  14. Following the release on RIM Unveils BlackBerry 10, Its Big Turnaround Hope · · Score: 1

    I have been following twitter feeds during the release... People say... a) Zomg Looks like an iphone b) the apps suck c) the apps suck d) they ripped off apple e) (those under 30 ask "whats a blackberry?") Everyone is stuck in this so called "app world" - BB10 tries to minimize the "clicking around" Your email/social hubs/messages are all deeply intergrated into the os, to me thats a great thing, one less app i have to jump to. Pulling in contacts from all your networks into one screen, one "hub" great. Im not a big game/app player so to me, this seems like a great idea. People are way to hung up with the apps, and the developers are partially to blame for rims failure. Their market was swamped with partially finished/ported garbage and to top it off, they want me to pay $4.99 for a theme? This whole post is a garbled thought, but passing off bb10 as a clone, or that its to late - its just the sheep talking. Putting might mess of thoughts aside, IMHO stick google apps on the damn thing, and that alone will boost their street cred. Just give me my contacts/calendar/email in a presentable way, ill be happy.

  15. Re:Copying is not theft. on Pirated iOS App Store Site Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    IMHO, current laws are not adjusted properly to reflect theft/piracy. I agree, I wasn't going to buy it anyways, but it doesn't entitle someone to "use it" There is no simple solution. Im tired of hearing "Oh its less then a price of a coffee", If the coffee sucks, i can have them remake it (or make my own) With iOS, Those $1's add up quick with shitty apps.

  18. ..Gamble on Can a Gaming Cafe be Successful? · · Score: 1

    Its a gamble..

    Times have changed, between the tv, xbox, massived amounts of bandwidth, and cheap hardware, keeps people indoors. I do get the concept of "people getting together", but everything accomplished at a "cafe" could be done at home. (with out the extra fees)

    It all depends on your area, where i live (northern CA) PC ownership is very low. The local library has "Free" 10 free machines just FOR Net browsing. As for larger cities, Ownership is alot higher.
    I wish you the best of luck, but if its gaming related, youre gonna need high end machines, ofcourse throw in the switches, cabling etc etc ( commerical pipes, (or tubes what ever) will add up quick.

  20. Scare Tactics on MPAA v. Hogan, or Vice Versa? · · Score: 1

    Sure, they might be shooting blanks with alot OF people. Devasting people $ wise. People have mentioned punishmen doesnt fit the crime. But meny people are taking note. if this CEO got sued, when is my "lucky" streak going to end? Even if they loose this case (if it ever goes to trial) ALOT of people will take notice to "I dont have the money to fight this", so they will back off on the torrents. Myself, I own TONS of dvds, and i also downloaded a copy of the same movie, to save time, did i break the law? Yes, as 300+ other people recieved my packets. Do all these lawsuits make me think twice? Ofcourse. So what ever they loose in these lawsuits, they have gained in scare tacticts. Meny of us DONT have the resources to fight the **AA empire.

    And ofcourse they is 2 sides to every story, I hate being devils advocate here, but, they had to get your IP from somewhere. (and if they also used the torrent client, did they upload also?) The question is was your IP obtained legally, and was that really your IP at that time?

    Being on a Fat pipe with a static IP it leaves little room for agruement.

    What am i really trying to say?
    You can take your "Fare Use" theory and throw it out the window, either way, you will loose, and it will cost you alot of money to prove your point, in the end, they win.
    Thats just my 2 cents, that the **AA's cant have.

    Ministry of Information Industry (MII), Internet Society of China (ISC) and China Communications Standards Association (CCSA) launched a national anti-spam campaign on June 21, reports Nanfang Daily. An insider at ISC said MII has set up a hotline at 01-12321 for spam-related tip-offs and is preparing to send out one million anti-spam notices. The report said that professional training will be offered for 1,000 email administrators and that 20,000 anti-spam volunteers will be recruited. "is preparing to send out one million anti-spam notices" - Oh the irony.

    This guy needs to stop smoking rock.. His predicitions and opinions are just really nutty lately. Dvorak thinks hes on cnn playing the role of Larry King..

IE is not a bad browser, its had bad security.
