iPhone 5 rumors: bigger, smaller, cloudy, keyboard-equipped

Antidisestablishmentarianist
Flame

All clouds are balls....

...unless someone else pays the mobile and or fixed broadband bills - and no, an advertising subsidised option is NOT an option - so stick that Google (which will no doubt roll it out any second now) in your creepy hole.

Now go away and start again.

Now, Nokia, what about the hardware?

Antidisestablishmentarianist

Huh?

Why? So they can drown in the sea of mediocrity that is Android? At least they're taking a chance (which might backfire) rather than giving in and driving the minivan of the smartOS work.

Google does fractals in HTML5

Antidisestablishmentarianist

What?

You've only used Firefox 3 times? What a lightweight.

Antidisestablishmentarianist

Haha

Firefox blew chunks before finishing and was realllly slow. Safari finished and was fast. The ol' standard if-it-won't-work-in-firefox-it'll-work-in-safari adage holds true.

So why am I using (a Safari skinned) Firefox rather than Safari? I swap between them once one pisses me off sufficiently enough to make the switch (bookmarks and all that nonsense). Firefox is almost at that point.....

Microsoft Kinect man enlists with Google special ops

Antidisestablishmentarianist

Nah...

He's there at Google so they can hack (via social engineering) into people Webcams and track their eye movements (when users use Google search). Then they can offer pay-per-view as well as pay-per-click on advertisements.

iPad's biggest rival? Microsoft's dead Courier

Antidisestablishmentarianist

Courier

I'm an Apply kinda a guy (but one that doesn't get first gen stuff - I'm waiting for iPad 2 and iPhone 5 before jumping in that area). But heck, the Courier looked freakin awesome. If it had come out actually working like the demo I would have bought one in a snap - even a first gen version.

Silly silly boys. Would have been a game changer. (Still) makes everything to date (incl Apple) look terribly stale.

Feds propose 'do not track' option for net surfers

Antidisestablishmentarianist

Don't fret

The lobbyists of certain "special interest" groups* will shoot this one down in short order. All because said special interest groups purpose in life is about making life happier, easier etc of the users, and why would you mess with that right?

Apple accused of iPhone ban on 'all single-station radio apps'

Google 'sacked Apple pioneer over leaked Schmidt memo'

Antidisestablishmentarianist
WTF?

"The Vault"

So each of the 20k employees lined up and got their 1k cash handed to them off the 20m pile just inside the vault they have at Google? Then feared for their lives on the way home, chauffeured in the Google buses?

LOL. Whatever.

Chinese retailers sell Apple-only white iPhone 4s

Antidisestablishmentarianist

You're right

Nobody would take such an interest in an android phone for example

Rethinking the iPhone

Antidisestablishmentarianist

AT&T?

Basically this is another AT&T is crap article isn't it? It's just that as the iPhone exposed that crapness, it seems to get tarred with AT&T's stinky brush.

Were are the non-american-at&t centric articles eh?

Netbooks: notebook evolved - or stunted throwback?

Antidisestablishmentarianist

Just a small laptop?

Just a *slow* laptop surely. I bought one hoping it was just a small laptop for occasional use. Instead I encountered a turgid mess. I had low expectations too. Pointless. I quickly got rid of it.

Apple shrinks Mac Mini price

Quite....

You can get that spec in box the size of a mini? Really? Or are you sniffing glue......

Dell takes aim at Apple with upmarket pledge

Antidisestablishmentarianist

Some of there monitors are nice though

It's a shame someone else doesn't sell them for them though - my Dell buying experiences have been poster children for "how to turn a simple purchasing pricess into a horror show".

Seven Inches?

I don't get it either. I want 13 inches. I can handle it.....

Firefox 4 beta 7 hits 'spectacular list of crashes' roadblock

Hopefully...

Microsoft confirms Russian pill-pusher attack on its network

Gates Halo

Conspiracy

It's just Microsoft showing that Linux can be pwned too.

Or it's just to provide me with entertainment as the Freetards jump to a desperately-trying-to-be sensible-yet-still-frothing defense of their loved OS.

For that I thank you Microsoft.

You have to use a keyboard? How old school, and not in a cool way. I'll give a week before people are over it.....

Come on, where are the hookups with Android phones etc ala AppleTV and and iOS.

And I'll also throw in a 'how much?' 'cause I want be be popular like all you other kids.

I suspect that many Android users find themselves incredulous about many things in life.

Awwww

is the poor little linux boy getting upset because someone is getting a taste of the same medicine every other OS gets when a fault is found.....

Be careful getting off your high horse - it's a long way down.

Google acquires 'video Street View' startup

Antidisestablishmentarianist
Big Brother

I'm surprised...

...they have already started tagging all known 'street' webcams and provided tunnelled links to the feed. Of course they'll tell the owners of the webcams they're doing this.

Of course they will......

You'll upset all those fragile freetards out there with your talk of theft.

If you keep on they'll just start up their tired illogical diatribes of sticking-it-to-the-man etc etc

So...

"The real story is simply that some people are too stupid to own a smartphone."

Yes, all the stupid sheeple should just get iPhones right? and leave smart people to the 'smart' Android.

Actually I'm totally happy if that's the case. It means if I ever see someone with an Android phone I'll just avoid them - as they obviously have an overinflated sense of smartness, which as we all know is long hand for fuckwit, or something....

(I own neither an iPhone or Android owner - just a proud oldskool "it's just a phone FFS" owner)

The fanbois, or the anti-Apple crew?

If only the world was powered by righteous indignation and froth and spittle from the mouth, then we'd never have an energy crisis again.

Pfft

My N95 has been able to do all of this for years, and I got it free in a box of cereal from Tesco's.

Oh wait, this isn't an iPhone article? Bugger.

pr0n? PRoN??

It was the NY Times amongst others thank you. My pr0n site have never let me down......;)

Good tip on disabling that interweb thingy - thanks. It reminds me it was how I got an ancient version of Photoshop Elements running once (it was hanging on startup going looking for updates).

Antidisestablishmentarianist

Funnily enough

Safari 5 saved my skin last night when Firefox decided to get in a loop of crashing on start (with attendent crash reporter) and studiously attempt to restore those same webpages that caused it to crash in the first place.

Indeed having two browsers is the best course of action. As always some pages work on one and not the other, and vice versa.

Chrome? Woudn't even think about it. Those Google people make it (shiver). They've already got some of my WiFi packets after all!

Apple said to order 24 million iPhone 4Gs

Oh Webby, where have you been?

We thought something awful had happened to you, but I see you're still around and full of the old venom.

Notice I said 'old' venom. G3s? G4s? Powerbooks? History. Surely you can spout about the screens on the 27" iMacs or something, or the DOA ones. You know - current issues.

But perhaps you got out of the Apple supporting game for your local school boards so long ago that you've only your old bitterness to regurgitate back up and froth about. Yum.

Anyway, don't stop. You're the best.

iPhone 4.0: iAds, multitasking, and 98 tweaks

Antidisestablishmentarianist
Grenade

Funny

People were bitching that the iPhone OS didn't have multitasking, and now that it does, the bitching hasn't stopped - just changed. I fear the OS will never make you happy. Best go back to your Windows 1.0 and Palm Pre.

Someone said this re the iAds feature:

"I think he just sold a million more Androids with that line."

How naive can you get. Android is produced by the biggest advertiser in the world (that would be Google). Why do you think Google did it? Fun? (Pssst, it's advertising stupid).

Normal Human Being™ reviews the iPad

Antidisestablishmentarianist

My LW

Can't wait for me to get her an iPad (she's so disinterested in Computers in general she'd never even consider buying one for herself). I bought her a Netbook. It's stuck in a cupboard somewhere. Why? It takes so long to boot, so long to get through all the security/virus updates that she wants to throw it out the window in frustration. All this to check her email, facebook, surf the web etc. My iPod Touch? Too small. iPad? Perfect size, and instant on. Done deal.

But it would have been nice to have a cam for Skyping.

I still just don't understand why people keep trying to think it's more than a media consumption device. It must be because they WANT it to be some magical net/note/laptop slaying device, and they're just disappointed/bitter it's not.
