  1. Re:Live action? on Halo 3 Teaser Aired, Beta Signups Start · · Score: 1

    It did have the "Finish The Fight 2007" tagline like the first Halo 3 trailer. And since it not only featured Master Chief but made showed him recovering from a near fatal fall, (From the covenant ship to Earth at the end of Halo 2) it's fairly clear that this is specifically a Halo 3 trailer.

  2. #2 First Week != #2 overall on Zune Sales Not So Bad After All · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's a new gadget and it was hyped to the extreme. Obviously it';s going to sell well. The sad thing is the new product buzz didn't stop people from buying "old" iPods at a FAR larger rate. And the study doesn't even include iPods sold in Apple Stores, which is a huge bias. Look at where the Zune is now. It's nowhere. Nice try, but the numbers don't mean a damn thing unless they're sustainable.

    Actually, Nintendo won the profit war the second the first PS3 was sold. :p $0.00 > -$300.00.

  6. Re:Not every switcher falls in love on Pros and Cons of Switching From Windows To Mac · · Score: 1

    Well, the Start menu is an absolute abortion, and always has been. It is a horrible and awkward way to open applications. You can fit a LOT of things on the dock, since it can be shrunk very small and magnified on mouse-over. And it may just be a matter of preference, but I HATE having all the windows of an application classified as their own application. All it does is clutter everything up. Why do you think tabs are such a great idea? Not to mention Exposé, which handles navigation between windows perfectly. The taskbar is further cluttered by having the system tray taking up a good chunk of the corner. As for the top of the screen, the Apple way is MUCH better than the Windows way. I hate having toolbars in the Windows themselves. It's just annoying. The top of the screen is the perfect place for them and it's very convenient to be uniform. And, for the record, I've never known anybody to use the top of the screen for their Windows taskbar.

    You obviously didn't give it much of a chance. You can put the dock on the left, right, or bottom of the screen, AND you can have it hidden except when you bring your cursor to the side of the screen where it is located. It's a LOT better and more efficient than the Windows taskbar in pretty much every way imaginable.

    No, not really. The Motorola ROKR had iTunes, but it was never Apple-Branded, nor designed or manufactured in any part by Apple.

    I agree. Kids are supposed to bang their knees, scrape their elbows, along countless other very minor injuries. All this is doing is setting them up for a life where the smallest pain is going to bring tears, even as an adult.

  11. Re:Good job, Jobs! on iPods Come Complete With Windows Virus · · Score: 0, Troll

    Of course it's not, but that's neither here nor there. Isn't it funny how Windows users seem to always fall back on "OS X ISN'T INVINCIBLE" despite the fact that there are no viruses for it. Not to mention the fact that saying that while using an operating system absolutely inundated with malware.

    You're joking right? The latest version of MSN Messenger for Mac (Or should I say Microsoft Messenger, since that's what they call it now) is handicapped compared to the XP version. It STILL does not support webcams, crashes frequently during file transfers and lacks many other features from the XP version.

    I read about half of this thread, and I just keep getting more and more pissed off. If you think this kid should be punished, move to China, you communist. I understand the law and believe threatening a person IS a crime. HOWEVER, in NO WAY is an IM icon a threat directed at anybody unless you personally IM THAT PERSON WITH THE ICON! It's idiots like that judge that make America a bad place to live.
