Microsoft: New icons, new drivers, AI! Everything is awesome!

Re: FUCK YOU MICROSOFT
Yes, like touch screens have worked so flawlessly with the built in Linux driver support...
or the penguin fanatics asking if Linux drivers are available for every new shiny laptop that's reviewed on here!! hardware needs drivers, especially if one is to leverage all aspects of an exotic bit of equipment.
Linux is good, it has its place, but perfect in every way, it is not!!!
EU turns screws on Android – report

Re: Typical EU
I agree... in the old days it was all guns at microsoft for bundling IE with windows, etc....
Apple Bundled Safari with OSX - noone cared...
Now Google are bundling their browser with their OS (which the end user can remove and replace) and they are being targeted
Apple Bundle Safri with iOS (which in my recolection you cant remove) - noone cares
its one rule for apple and another for everyone else.... Apple arnt the underdogs, they are up at the top table and so should face the same rules as everyone else

US college girls: Fatter roomie helps control 1st-year plumpening
Wednesday 22nd September 2010 10:04 GMT 
simple reasoning....
the reason why wone room mate gets larger, while the other slimmer is easy....
Observer the following scenario...
Fat & thin do the grocery shopping...
Thin goes out for a typical thin girls night out, ie, lots of booze, sex and drugs = physical movement, sweating and vomiting - all great ways of keeping weight down!!
Thin arrives back home sometime the next mid afternoon and heads to the kitchen... on the way avoiding Fat who has been playing WOW all day/night/day...
Thin makes it finally into the cupboards only to find that the groceries have been converted into a thick layer of crumbs and wrappers on and around FAT...
Fat & Thin then go out grocery shopping
Thin goes out for a typical thin girls night out................................. the cycle continues........
Paris - as thin girls have more co.... er... fun!!!!
Sony PlayStation Move

just got mine...
Ive already got the eye toy and on a whim grabbed the move controller for 28 quid from tesco...
Bugger me its good!! knocks the Wii mote into a cocked hat! Ive downloaded the demos and found that a couple of titles I already own are compatible (Mini Golf and hustle kings)
Ive Just spent a bunch of time playing Ruse - a C&C type strategy game... Its taking some time to get my head round the 3D control method, but zooming about the battlefield with the wand/six axix combo is almost intuitive and almost as quick as a mouse!
I was aprehensive, but waving the thing about reclining on the sofa isnt too bad! you dont need to be standing up and waving your arms about... all in, for sub 30quid, not a bad punt!

Intel to keep laptops from losing cool in bed
Friday 17th September 2010 14:10 GMT
Intel does make cool chips....
I have used my intel based laptop in bed plenty... it has no vents and no fans... indeed, the case is totally sealed and water proof...
The battery wont catch fire as the charging circuit reduces the charge when the battery or case gets warm... hell, this laptop actually has a heater inside it to keep the hard drive warm on cold days!!
The beauty of the ULV 1.66 Centrino, heatpipes and a very large fully magnesium case to act as a heatsink...

not everyone is just pirating movies on BD, with HD camcorders DVD just doesnt hold enough data...
My parents have a blueray player in the lounge, to them its just a flash dvdplayer...
all my home video if my son is recored in AVCHD, while I could copy that to a hard drive and post it to them, talk them into copying it to a PC (which they barely know how to email from) then carry that to the front room and connect to the TV, its much eaiser to just burn a BD, pop it in the post and they play it like a normal dvd... 130 is a good price, its good to see costs slowly going down...

if I wanted to to sell t-shirts with 'i like to club seals to death, wipe my arse with the warm pelt, then grind up the cute little carcasses and wear their heads as a hat' written across them, would apple sue me? the statement is plenty more offensive and just as tenuous a link to apple products...

This update is for all iphones, not just the 4... and the mis-calculated signal bars issue is apparent on all models... does this mean that my iphone 3, which appears to have a signal strength meter that works as well as my Sony Erricson and doesnt appear to be buggered, will be brought inline with the new iphone 4 signal strength and start showing wildly fluctuating signal!!??

Ti-book...
It still looks good - shut!!... and was a good workhorse, bar a few niggly details, mine was a gigabit Ti-book, so all the paint on the carbon fibre flaked off... then the hinges cracked and I would get electric shocks from the bare carbon which became more pronounced when i was hot and sweaty... but it was a lovely machine to use...
My Powerbook 1.6SD also looks beautiful, runs lovely and apart from 2 superdrives, needing a new battery every other year was a good tool until the charging regulator gave up the ghost...
so what is my laptop of choice now? a Panasonic toughbook with Win7! stellar battery life, un matched outdoor useability and so far no hardware issues at all... and this ones been dropped, soaked and used by my 2yearold!
Apple, - meh!

Well, this isnt a business laptop so the inclusion of 802.11a is a bit of a moot point... how many home users enjoy that frequency?? and isnt the whole focus of apple based on the adoption of the fastest network speeds - hell, if your a real apple fanboi you are even more limited as the airports and time machine dont support 'a' anyway!

Pressure mounts on Apple to recall iPhone 4
Wednesday 14th July 2010 12:10 GMT
these are not the faults you are looking for........
surely, for a recall, the phone would actually have to have a problem and it would be possible to recreate that problem under various conditions with various phones... and we know that all the so called 'tests' are just a great big conspiracy!
But the phone is just perfect, I know as our lord Steve Gods has said so...
(although it can be a little more perfecter for a paltry $29.99!!!)

Apple sues three more over power adapter 'knock-offs'
Saturday 10th July 2010 19:12 GMT
have you seen one??
if you have had the chance to come into contact with the apple PSU then you would see why... its not like a normal laptop psu, more like an oversized phone charger but for a laptop its as close to perfect as I can see... its half the size of the usual black slab and is integrated into the plug... so less crap on the floor... the end of the adapter has little flip out ears for the cable to wrap round and the cable clips to its self - when transporting the adapter you will use a fraction of the space a traditional one takes...
Apple, (for once!) are well within its rights to hunt down those that copied it...

Dead Pink phone fallout hits Microsoft's top brass

the original windows mobile...
I think was awesome... multi tasking and working in a tiny memory footprint...
sometimes it could be a little laggy, but so is my iphone.
app store? I dont think that there is much on my iphone that I didnt already have from handango and I had the freedom (if I had the skills) to write my own apps for the phone...
windows mobile had a much wider market than just phones too... have a look in your local Tesco, there will be probably more winmo devices in there than all phones put together... pretty much all the handheld devices in retail and delivery are windows powered... end user modification and lockdown, custom rom images, etc are all possible...
not sure what im getting at here, but basically winmo hasnt been a dead duck... although winphone7 does look to be dumping all that for a closed, fluffy, apple clone system.... which could cause issues for these markets....
Apple, AT&T slapped with iPhone 4 lawsuit
Friday 2nd July 2010 08:40 GMT
I did read it...
and that is exactly what my post is all about... that review, most other reviews and one person that I know who has one - they all say the phone works better in low signal areas...
this whole class action lawsuit thing its just the attention seeking/something for nothing brigade that are out for what they can get...
We do have our consumer rights... and as far as I can see, the pjhone works fine in 'most' conditions,.. its a combination of sweaty palms and un-naturally tight grip which triggers the dramatic signal drop, so is not unfit for purpose, and even if it was, apples most dramatic requirement in the SOG act would be a refund... hence my give the whingers a refund and see who actually takes it up... these people are just out looking for 'fame' and a freebie...
And im far from an apple hater, I will end up with an iPhone 4G, and over the years ive had a Powermac G4, Ti-book, Powerbook, iPhone 3G, iPods nano, Video + mini. and amongst the various accessories an Alpine X001 ipod only car stereo...
Pixel Qi releases sunlight-readable netbook screen
Thursday 1st July 2010 12:51 GMT
yes please!
i wonder what the colour is like, both indoors and out??
netbooks are all very well, but maybe they should look at a 13.3" display to augment all the panasonic toughbooks out there... I get 13ish hours with the lid shut, but only 6ish hours with the backlight on full so being able to dispense with that would be awesome!
A lot of toughbooks are used outdoors so the market could be worth a bit more than the home netbook market!

I was at an exhibition back in january and there was a telly there that was 3d without glasses, you had to stand dead central to the image or you had ghosting, it was running a demo so the clips had obviously been chosen for maximum effect and impact, but it was surprisingly effective... I cant remember who the manufacturer was though...
