NOTHING WHAT SO EVER TO DO WITH MICROSOFT. The reason u dont get a notebook with "...honking great SSD" is that the SSD would be worth 10X the notebook it was atached to. Supply the full Windows 7 and 3 or 4 gigs of ram no problems. Anyway they dont do OS-less net books with honking great SSD's and bucket loads of memory either so whats your excuse for that ??
"hazard a bet that ps4 and xbox 720 will be twice as powerful (or more) than the wii2. i also think sony are doing their magic wand tech better than Nintendo..." Yeah but they will also be (at least) twice the price of the new Nintendo. Pluss theres the fact that the new Nintendo will be on the market a lot sooner than anything from microsoft or Sony. And being less powerful never hurt the sales of the current Nintendo.
" .....and I know about the money because I was stood next to the courier as we were discussing it with the policeman....."
So the courier was discussing the fact that he had "150K in used bank notes in the boot of his car" THAT HADN'T BEEN STOLEN. There are very few legit reasons for having that sort of cash in your car. I'm sure the police would be the last people he would be telling about the cash. Why dont you just write a book ?
Sorry u also had a Macbook pro stolen that u just forgot to mention... U were more bothered about the cheap Windows Laptop.........As for the unmarked courier who was carrying 150K in used noted in his car and was kind enough to go round your house and let u know about it..........Yes this story is so obviously true..........
"File Share ILLEGALLY convited onver somethign that is not a crime....." Did you ever go to School ? Did your spell checker just give up ? Sharing copyrighted songs is illegal.
"i whould question how they got the so called proof in the first place...." whould ?
"Scottland, now a puppet in the hands of of international terrorists...." Scotland (1t) international terrorists..... You lost me m8
Just remember why Apple switched to Intel in the first place. Performance. Arm-5 versus mobile i7 no contest. Will people really pay over the odds for a laptop with performance that sucks but with a few extra hours battery life ?? In fact never mind i7, core 2 leaves Arm in the dust.
Its not an "Idea" It DOES cost more to watch a 3D movie, the production cost IS higher, AND OF COURSE the production cost is recouped through ticket sales. Thats how its actually done. Im living in the real world, your just living in a (3D??)fantasy. If no one was prepared to pay extra to watch a 3D film then no one would be making them.
"I suppose if you don't care about quality, and just want the biggest number, it's great. Personally, I like accurate colour, real detail, low-light ability and contrast in a camera." Yeah but u cant even count. Since when did 720 plus 260 = 1080. And its the sensor thats 1080 not the processor. Finally the cost of the lens is irrelevant. There are 200 quid devices with good optics. How could u put an "expensive" lens on a camera phone ??
So are you saying the Iphones and Arnold smart phones that breach this patent all came out pre 1995 ?? Did u actually read the patent ?? I know most people commenting could not be bothered to. the first internet phone was 1996 "http://blog.brightcove.com/en/2009/03/first-internet-phone-circa-1996" So there was NO PRIOR ART. And the early wap phones certainly couldn't do one click payments. Just because u think something has been around forever doesn't mean it has.
Why dont all u fuck wits just get off your high horses. If u came up with a great idea (unlikely I know) and u went to the trouble and expense of patenting it, and then the likes of Apple decided to use your idea to make a few million are u saying u wouldn't have a problem with that ??
I wasn't comparing the PS3 to a "deadly weapon" I wasn't even saying that a knife is a deadly weapon. What I was pointing out was that mere ownership does not give u the right to do what u like with something. It never has done, nor should it. "Merely inspecting and testing an encryption system does not automatically turn you into a freeloading pirate." You really think thats the reason people were downloading these mods ??? Seriously ?? Just testing the encryption for Sonny were ya, sure m8. And just for the record there were no spelling mistakes in ma last post so my English is obviously better than yours.
Its a games console. Thats what it is. Thats why u bought it. Are Sony trying to stop u playing games on it ??? Your surprised that an illegal mod that would allow u to run pirate games on your PS3 is upsetting Sony. Your seriously surprised that Sony (who make all there money from the software cos the PS3 is actually sold at a loss) want u to buy genuine games. That doesn't surprise me at all. @Every one who missed my point... If u were to illegally modify your Ferrari u would indeed be in trouble, Kicking someones head in wearing Nike trainers would not exactly please Nike either. My point was a cheap PC runs Linux better than a PS3. Sony wants u to get your games from a shop not a torrent site.
Nice one Sony. Now how many post are we going to get with people saying they should be able to do what ever they want with there consoles just because they own then ??? If u own a knife does that give u the right to stab people ? If u own a baseball bat are u allowed to smack people in the head with it ? If u own a sports car are u allowed to drive down the motorway at 180mph ??? No one has ever been allowed to do what they liked with something JUST BECAUSE THEY OWN IT. So why do people think it should be any different when it comes to the PS3 or the Iphone for that matter ????
Do u really think the PS3 would have sold less if it had NEVER had the option the in stall linux ? And how different would your life really have been ? The ban in Europe will not effect Sony for a couple of reasons.. Reason 1. The PS3 is sold at a LOSS. So they will loose LESS. Have a good think about that one. Reason 2. I think the PS3 is near the end of its life. PS4 cant be that far off.
What if he just wants a decent games console and doesn't give a fuck about linux ??? Its funny when u ask one of thoes twats who were running linux on there PS3 why they installed the update that removed the linux option and they say it so they could run a new game. So u say so u did buy it as a Games Console then ??? they neva have an answer.
U dont need 3G support on a basic voice phone. 3G puts more strain on the battery so u are better of without it. Yes the camera and screen are lower res. but as far as camera quality goes its still crap v crap. As far as price goes the PC world website is selling the C1 for less than 30 quid. Thats a lot less money than u paid for the 2730.
"so its happening again with a slightly uptodate model this is why il never buy apple or any of there products ever there rain of been top spot is sliping down hill because there a damn ripoff to i can get a much better phone cheaper that does the same things." Yeah and u could get some English lessons to. If u want a top end HTC or Samsung on contract it will cost u just as much as an Iphone. If u go for a lower end HTC or Samsung then it wont be as good as an Iphone. You pays your money and you takes your choice....
"(Oh and any commentards that say backup to external HDD instead, can I just say that the virus that trashed my wife's laptop yesterday also trashed the external HDD and she's lost almost a weeks photos as a consequence.".............A virus that infected her JPG's ??? U having laugh a mate ?? Would be the easiest thing in the world to recover her pictures.
