Extreme weather blown away from unexpected direction

Seems

That hurricanes chart is headed in a general up direction.

iPad 3 benchmarked

ipad2 jump

The ipad 2 was the same 1 gig as the ipad 1, but was noticeably faster. I also feel that much of the underhanded side of apple comes from their shareholders, Al Gore comes to mind. The share holders are driving this company. I think that the way they are handling their current short fall of ipad 3's is a good example. The people that preordered have already paid, so they should get their product before the store customers...which have not paid as of yet. I have not ordered an ipad 3 yet, so don't o there. I'm not sure I am yet, until I'm sure the 1 and 2 are going to become obsolete, which I expect they will.

Melting Arctic leads to snowy winters

Oh Jesus

How long have you been told this is coming? It's easy really...you melt the ice...it changes the ocean's currents, a new ice age begins. Not hard. I have been telling you guys that the u.k. was going to be first for at least 3 years now. The only reason that island is habitable is becaus of the heat the oceans bring it. This isn't a surprise. Read a book already.

Microsoft explains bland new Windows logo

Dude, you are getting a ...

That dell logo is the most annoying thing I've ever had to look @..ever.. Perhaps also one of the most effective because of that fact. The flag is horrible, and has to go, but perhaps this is a case of any publicity is good publicity...we are talking about it.

iPad spanks Galaxy Tab in its own backyard

Do I really need to

List through all 50 gazillion semi professional apps available that are now cheap and portable, and doing everything from art and design, to education, to engineering, to saving lives in the medical field...or on the battlefield? Not to mention what little is available for android looks like it was put together by a high schooler...it's irritating to even look at some of those apps, much less use.

Duh

Better apps. I'm not going to shell out 500+ to check email. I do amazing things on my pad.

Music fans not welcome in RIAA-backed .music

Thanks for killing music aholes

You will be remember as the organization that killed music. What a legacy. What the RIAA doesn't seem to understand is that everyone can and does make music of their own now. These "musicians" (actors/dancers/ poducers and everything but...) have very little to offer us anymore accept the occasional nip flash or up the skirt shot. Reduced to whores just as they wanted it obviously.

Sinofsky shows off Windows 8 on ARM and Office15

I'm down

For trying it out. It certainly feels like the first thing Microsoft is getting right in a longtime. It's like they had to give up and give in to be reborn. They are getting pretty good at imitating thier competition at this point. So a cheaper version of t he iPad is very interesting. I have no need for office...that stuff is like 30 yeas old now...we should move on already. The big problem is, as been stated, development of apps. I do some amazing things with an iPad. If I could do things like ... Make music and art, and learn new topics to a high degree like on an iPad...I'm in. The big problem with Microsoft is thier philosophy of imitating others, but attempting to do it more cheaply, as by the time they get rolling on a "new" product everyone else has moved on.

iOS 5 'crashes more apps' than Android

And as a final addendum

Ive often told myself it acts like a memory allocation problem specifically. As I said, I'm not a professional though. I am willing to forgive a little drop in quality control after the death of Jobs, but I also expect them to address those issue as they arrive.

Memory problem?

Yes, in my unprofessional opinion it acts like a memory problem. I've noticed that.

Ios5 a bomb

Thank you, I've been bitching about this for months. It wasn't a problem until iOS 5. The people pushing the iPad to do something besides surf porn know it's a problem. Though safari is one of the worst offenders at this point. iOS 5 is a completely unstable release, and I can not wait for a new iOS in what ever form. Just for the facts...I have been a Mac user since the mid/ late nineties and I have bitched on Mac forums about this issue. My complaint was promptly removed.

Facebook suggests sharing everything all the time

Easy way out

There is an easy way to deal with this Facebook nonsense. DON'T use your real name when signing up. Use an avatar from the start, and NEVER post a picture of you smoking your bong. That's the way I handled it. Take your security back from suckitberg.

I was looking at that exact same time discrepancy. 80 million yr. Old asteroid, 65 million yr. Old extenction. Wher's the problem? Brontoburgers are so 2000.

DRM-free music dream haunts Apple's app-store lock-in

apple is

It's own problem, not the p.c. makers. It's success is in tying you to it's products so that you stop yourself from buying an android and buy an iphone instead. I recently became an ipad user, guess what stops me from doing what I want on the ipad? Itunes. I can't just buy an ipad and use it, I have to have an ipad AND a computer, and if I'm tied to itunes I might very well buy an apple computer...especially if I'm a young, or first time buyer. How long before this is considered a monopoly and apple gets pinged like microsoft did?

There is no security

In the modern; on line, computerized, information age. There is no privacy, there is no security...it died when computers took over the world. Get over it...and thank you IT community for your part in all this. That means you also Google.
