You're not one of those weirdos who stretch out SD content on an HDTV, are you?
Further evidence that this isn't your dad's Apple computer anymore.
Yeah, they make mobile devices with limited display space (even the pizza box sized Androids some kids seem to favor) now which is a whole other ballgame with its own rules and quirks.
Honestly, the route they took is fine. Old apps will display as they always did until/unless the developer updates it.
Why people can't just be happy that there is innovation and competition in the smartphone market...
The human mind seeks a religious attachment to things.
Sometimes it takes the form of actual religion, sometimes political ideology and sometimes a rabid attachment to a brand or place or sports teams or... just about anything, really.
It frees the individual from having to incorporate new information or alter a perceived reality framework that, for most people, was laid down in childhood and set in stone ever since.
As I said in another thread, back in the day geeks and nerds used to welcome new stuff and favored competition, but the geekverse has gone the way of any other clique within the human race- tainted by rigid ideologies and glowering self importance and arrogance.
The thing is, I only hear these claims uttered sarcastically by neckbeards and other tiresome people in the geekverse. It's like how I only hear "The Earth is 6000 years old" from atheists. And who gives a shit what connector it is as long as the device comes with a cable and I can get a replacement if necessary?
Back in the day geeks and nerds advocated competition and having multiple players in the market- it's how PCs got so cheap with a zillion motherboard and peripheral makers. People who really care about tech should hope for success for Apple, Android and, yes, Windows 8 phones so they can continue to fight it out. Anything else is fanboy horseshit. Yes, being a basher is simply fanboyism of a different platform- just as bad, if not worse.
I downloaded gigabytes of music and was losing interest in music. One day I started buying music again, and found I was enjoying it a lot again.
There's a Ph.D. idea there for someone. Some sort of perceived value factor? Or just that the geeks who posted all that free music can't encode it properly to save their ever cursed lives? Honestly, a lot of people must have had the cheapest crap MP3 players. 128 Kbps encodes. File titles were like novels. "Title_Artist_Album_Genre_Year_Label_LinerNotes_UUENCODE-OF-ALBUM-COVER.mp3"
Panel 1: Phone runs out of juice Panel 2: Put phone on wireless charger Panel 3: Hmm... wireless energy transfer... Panel 4: I am Nikola Tesla! Panel 5: Me gusta! Panel 6: Extra panel. Ignore.
Well, with all the austerity going on there, they must be really bored, sort of how the computers on Magrathea take potshots at passing spacecraft. I mean, c'mon, like actual spies are going to stand there obviously taking snapshots. Have they not see a James Bond film? Spies have cameras hidden in their hats and genitals.
And, besides, if a photo of your installation renders it vulnerable, yer doin' it wrong. Unless the military base has a soul... maybe the camera is stealing the military base's soul?
After the break, we strap eleventy hundred pounds of C4 to an RFID tag in our attempt to hack it!
I sort of drifted away from that show when it started catering to the Michael Bay fans and felt the need to WARN viewers that there was some actual science content coming up.
A lot of judges will address just that during jury duty now. Had it happen last time I went.
They also need to explain that "circumstantial" evidence does not mean "bad" or "unimportant" or "inadmissable." You can convict with only circumstantial if there is enough of it out to very high confidence level.
Here's some 2012 logo design trends I stole from another site with absolutely no attribution whatsoever.
Twixt – These contain odd little interlinks between points that suggest connectivity. Angle bombs – These contain highly angled geometric shapes, oftentimes triangles, and are usually chaotic and without symmetry, like an explosion of sharp pieces from a central explosion. Leaf amalgams – Leaves used to build cars, people, other leaves, whatever. Copy – These designs use minute words as a graphic component, but the words could never be read. It is texture, not text. Penumbra – Think of a halo of layered and colored light circles that are not quite centered on each other. Monoliths – Squares or rectangles that are in perspective and that appear to be drifting.
So take these, hire some artists for, like $75,000, wind up with something so horrible you have no choice but to bury the only copies of the design in a lead casket far underground, and finally just toss up a loose variant of the Starbucks logo with "Slashdot" in Helvetica and the "d" rotated at a 90 degree angle like the M in the Animal Planet logo.
Keep the new logo up for a week. Quietly revert back to the old one at midnight between Saturday and Sunday. Never speak of it again.
Slashdot Mirror
Actually Canute was making the point that he couldn't stop the tide, although the whole thing is probably apocryphal.
Yeah, I'll be losing major sleep over these issues.
Meanwhile I bought a spare iPad cable a few months back on Amazon for $3.
MiniUSB is the hammer of the geekverse- except that everything isn't a nail.
When do we get iphone 5 versions of cases?

Huh. I have a 12 year old dumb phone (will probably get me an iPhone 5 finally) that I have never dropped once.
I think it's because it's a Motorola phone built to the MIL-SPEC for cell phones and can supposedly take some heavy abuse.
I'm sure I'll get the relatively more fragile iPhone and drop it on the way out of the store. ;-)

Time to start something new, maybe.
"post-PC" does not mean "no PC"

Pfft Jobs!
Schillermania is here!
All that takes time, and some of us have, like, jobs and lives and other interests outside dicking around with shitty downloads.
Also, don't wanna listen to the same 1%.

So buy a better fridge or something. There. You just carbon credited about ten years of phone charging.

Ah, one of my favorite films. Still stands up even today.
Yeah! RPN forevah!

the final step in its transformation into a more powerful system that will be known as Titan.
Oh, that is not even its final form.
Yeah, that's easy for you to say.

*Actually* preparing for a zombie apocalypse should get you placed an some other lists as well.
You mean "Celestia damn it!" which I would pay good money to actually see said on the show.
