    Oh good, let's see the extra income these industries suddenly started getting on Sept 1st.

    Gee, what a great example. So... played with any interpreted languages lately? Do you browse while doing work? Listen to music maybe?

      Do you know at all what it was like to use a computer when programs were the size TFA talks about?

    Is anyone else besides me annoyed that Fukushima keeps on overshadowing this incredibly catastrophic tsunami?

    Actually it's your sysadmin's issue. Go talk to him.

    You're not getting my point. You won't be successful running your 486-friendly Netscape on your phone. It's not an issue of bloat, it just plain wasn't designed for it. The question you think you should be asking is just a way to keep circling the rat hole.

    My Macbook Pro gets to the login screen in Win7 in 36 seconds, and within 55 seconds I'm at a file explorer window. I'm pretty sure that the reason it's that slow is the network here.

    Although I wouldn't rule out Microsoft silliness, I believe you have a configuration issue. I wonder if you're logging in to a domain like I am here.

    And that attitude is why we lost the phone and tablet markets.

    No, it's not. The idea that anybody was just going to shoehorn apps designed for a desktop UI is why you lost the phone and tablet markets. Microsoft already taught you that.

    I apologize for responding to my own post, but I mangled the HTML formatting. Here's what it was supposed to say:

    When I think back to playing vast adventure games, like Below the Root, that amazingly fit on two sides of a 5.25" floppy, but the same game now would probably be written to take up a CD-ROM, even using the same graphics

    Um, yeah, they'd fill up that otherwise useless disc with things like digitized sound files.

    Programmers have lost the need to optimize. I can't believe we're actually bitching about living in times where computing resources are bountiful.

    I may be wrong but the last time I read about it the 4S has the same processor but its' clocked slightly slower.

    That looks more like a webmaster oops than a "DENIED" message . Even so, I doubt the iPhone assessment would be very interesting. I mean, seriously, I cannot picture the prospect of involving iTunes making anybody's eyes light up.

    My cats don't like sounds like that either and I never taught them about the evils of communism.

    Seriously, who modded that up? Somebody who went to a school where the teacher said "Okay class, here's something else you shouldn't like..."

    meh... they want to give people a reason to upgrade to 4S from 4

    I think considering that the iPad 2, which has a faster processor than the 4s doesn't have Siri, this is a very strong probability.

    I'm annoyed that I haven't found much in the app store that takes advantage of the new processor.

    It's real simple: The hacker has been jailbroken and soon that jailbreak will work on the iPad 2. You can install anything on him!

    The rest of us are smart enough to not buy such devices.

    By 'smart' you mean the side you're on. Normally I wouldn't be so pedantic, but your 'smartness' is based mainly on the Slashdot headlines you've read.

    This is where you complain about being modded down by 'fanboys' and high-five all the 'smart' people you agree with.
