and i'm a long time mac user but the vega is bloody great once you mod it and get market place on there.
it's not as pretty as the ipad and not as fluid but its £249 and you can bang more storage into it.
even the default browser is okay and runs flash - this is where apple is making a big mistake (along with no blu-ray players)..they should phase flash out slowly rather than just banning it....
Would love a panty pad but the price is ridiculous, so i bought an advent vega from (apologies) pc world - its great and half the price of the ipad..
And i can expand the storage and play flash. Its a great piece of kit if you can get hold of one....and i'm a long time mac user but the ipad is way overpriced.
at least i'd be able to actually open the files in the first place.....and not have to get everything from itunes...seriously i've never had an issue with vlc - it seems to handle everything i throw at it, quicktime just struggles.
dare i say it - i think that adobe media player is better than quicktime....
nobody takes any notice of them anyway.
it's obvious that fifa are trying to spread the football love around the world and develop it in new areas, hence russia and qatar.
there was so much arrogance about england winning because of the home of football nonsense that i'm glad we didn't get it.....a bit like the eurovision song contest - we have no clout around the world anymore, no-one takes a bit of notice of silly old auntie britain.
we need to get our heads out the sand and face a global reality - and probably move further away from the yanks who also didn't win the 2022 bid.....i wonder why...
i've said it before....
facebook is the biggest threat to google and microsoft. you may not like or trust them, but joe public loves facebook and will use it for messaging, creating/storing documents, images, music etc etc..
this is just the tip of the iceberg and microsoft would be wise to snuggle a little closer to them if they really want to defeat google.
damien has spoken...please ask him what he thinks about folks dying from cancer - i'm sure there's some wise words ready to spew out....
oh facebook? it's worth a mint because it the next big all-encompassing entity that you can spend your virtual life in. seriously, it will include everything and google should be worried.
1. are you talking about the desktop or a finder window? on the desktop you just drag the file onto the mail icon in the dock and its then attached to a new email
2. you can drag from a finder window into the sidebar icons, pressing the spacebar when hovering over a folder will open it for you, then you can drop the file. does windows do that?
3. you click onto the filename, wait a second and click again, then rename
4. apple is trying to be better. hitting delete to remove a file from the desktop is not quite the right usability. you can right click and send to trash, this fits in with the desktop icon environment of moving unwanted items to the trash, then emptying the trash later.
the finder has lots of hidden usability features, you just need to discover them, it's a pretty good way of working and is different to windows, and slightly better too.
