That's actually what I was implying.
I know that this habit (EQ + Aural Enhancer/Armonic Enhancer/whatever you'd like to call it) is quite common among non audiophiles (I am not one, though), but hearing things like this from creative... well, makes me quite sad.
Sounds (no pun intended!) like someone at Creative is trying to BS me.
How can make an mp3 sound BETTER than the CD? Unless they can restore the lost information in the sampling & compressing, it will sound... DIFFERENT from my cd, at the best.

Yep... pretty gross name.
I just came up with some ideas... "Window svista", where "svista" means mistake, and "Sparate a vista" a cool slogan meaning "Fire at will".
Microsoft sure knows how to make us laugh:D
...why big companies keep selling things with italian/spanish names, pulling them out randomly from a dictionary?
Apart from calling an OS "view" (gee... "pussycat" wuold have been better), I can remember the Kia Sorento. Great idea. I really think that everybody in Sorrento (which is written with TWO Rs) wants a SUV. Sure.
It is time for UI designers to realize most people do this and allow easier use of more than one fullscreen app.
Just because most people does it, it doesn't mean it's a good idea. It's ok for those "singletasking moments" (videogames, photoshop, cad, music sequencing... teh serious work), but completely pointless for desktop using.
The Window-Concept is too complicated for most new users and especially the fact that windows can overlap is totally useless.
If we talk about dumb users, you're absolutely right. Most abstractions we (i.e. the geeks) are used to are too complicated for them - but you can't design an OS just for the dumb.
Why is arbitary window movement still allowed. It seems UI desginers forget that there are possibilities beyond windows.
Wow! A bucket full of data! All for me!
This reminds me when my father (who is a MD) found correlation between the regular use of a toothbrush and heart attacks:|

And you are expecting a /. user to think. What are you th... err... trying to do?
Voting for a country you deliberately fled from may just seem something hypocrite, but making political propaganda on /. is really sad :\

Windows has no interest in "beating" Linux, since it already has a dominant role in the market. It's Linux that could hope to "beat" Windows.
yes, but they run them on the left :|
Mod parent funny for its subject, please :D
You're perfecly right! I was just objecting that most of us know a things or two about working in the IT field :P
No one just falls into the position. You claw, kick and scream and push your way into it.
Yeah sure. And how is this different from the rest of the jobs out there (e.g. neurosurgeon)?

I guess things of this kind are the reasons why Google valuation is ambiguos
I feel almost sad for my nigerian spammer alter-ego
you misspelled "Lego".

Probably because they work just fine
I think it's time that people stop keeping all the windows maximized - The OS is called "Windows(TM)©®", not "walls". Having a 19" flat monitor to see one window at a time is ridiculous (I've actually seen people keeping the MSN messnger contact list maximized - pure genius). Given that, longhorn's control box looks still ugly and inusable =:|
If they won't do something, things are going to get tough for musicians, especially if we consider that guitarists are going to disappear
And what if he relased the formula of alcohol-free beer? :| Gee, now I'm confused.
