Hah

Think it'll increase Jobs' love for Adobe? Pffht!

What a tool

"Just buy someone else's phone - not that big of a deal"

The disservice is already done

You read favourable review -> you purchase.

You read review alteration -> you are stuck on at least a year contract.

Due Diligence fail.

Meh?

Not often you see a news article broadcast the fact it's old.. and the fact it's already proven that nobody cares.

Fact of the matter is, you install Win 7 -> share -> unshare -> try to hibernate pc -> it fails -> you blame it on Microsoft software

How does this have anything to do with copyright? If I wan't to share some files to another computer I own, you just try and stop me. Just. Try.

WHAT?

They spend SIX MILLION on trying to detect shill bidding?

Can that really be profitable seeing as artificially inflated prices benefit eBay?

Win6.5

If Winmo 6.5 is anything to go by then.. well lets just say i reviewed all 6 of the games, and most were unfortunately horrid. (Meon being the exception)

Lumped with a HD2 that has a godawful OS and no apps now. Fingers crossed for Android ROM.

Ugggh

I got a HD2, which runs godawful WinMo6.5. The hardware (basically same as the Evo) is the best I've ever seen. It is just *gagging* for Androidification, so now I'm going to be gagging for an Evo. Nevermind the 4G, wi-fi and HSDPA will do nicely.

We want's it hobbitz! (Although, I think i prefer the HD2 hard-buttons)

Flash - ahhh-ah - HE SAVED EVERY ONE OF US

HTML5 *is* the future.. but Flash *is* the current - and ignoring the current is a great way of screwing your future.

Android/Chrome will support HTML5 AND Flash.

Looking forward to a 2.2 Phone on which to play Newgrounds games (this news is actually bigger than it appears - If it only supported FlashLite 3/4 like WinMo, meh, but Full FP10 is great news)

Ugh

Why don't they all get to gether and document their SDKs a bit more first? Just tried writing an app with new API and all I can find is FUD. The new privacy approach is "nothing will work anymore".

Microsoft

Guess what? Microsoft will fail to implement a HTML standard and fuck developers over. Again.

Gotta leave people hungry for IE10, right guys?

Or maybe they'll see that their fucking incessant retardation is the reason their market share is dropping faster than a techie's patience threshold after exposure to IE6.

In short: Do. Not. Want. Stick to holding down new technologies and punishing your locked-in customer base, what you're best at.

Because

Let's say the composition wasn't as bad as suspected, and only 0.5% of jet aircraft/helicopters would crash.

Is that still an acceptable amount? Compared to a few days cessation of business?

I'd rather not have jets landing on my house, thanks very much. Safety first, as they say.

Considering how vulnerable jet engines are to foreign objects, caution is the best option.

Thanks

Now people will still feel safe using outdated technology an will continue to use it so they have to continue supporting it.

If you still use IE6 - for whatever reason - you deserve it. "Our intranet is built on it" just means you need to update that too.

If it worked like that..

.. I would be very pleased. Very nicely presented video, but will all this nice-to-have functionality have been included at the expense of more useful tools and functionality?

The device itself doesn't seem to be that interesting, just a dual-monitor laptop with no keyboard essentially. The software is what made the video. Interesting.

Tool?

"Important tool" is it?

How many times has it been deployed successfully against a terrorist? How many times has it been used to waste bystanders' time?

I'd be interested in facts, for a change.

How dare they

How dare they pay homage to something they like without asking!

AKA "Let's get uppity and try to take money for something wholly pointless", they shoudl consider it free advertising.

Also, what do they do when the 6th series is released?

So..

You put up a dome to keep you protected from the environment.. then fill it with - ice? He's insulating it then wasting energy to make it cold. Uh huh.

Tennis, fine.

@ 14:04

Some people can't really wander down to a shop so having it conveniently plop into your mailbox on the day.. very nice.

I had a similar experience with Steam and Dragon Age recently, some shops were selling it cheaper 2 days before it unlocked on Steam (where I pre-ordered with full price). Such is life though.

As an aside: Steam claims it can't sell games for cheaper than X because the publishers say so - does that mean they have to ask permission before running a sale? Is it legal to demand a shop to sell your product at a certain price? Stifling competition much?

OMG

It will have a CAMERA and support DOCKING you say?!

Haven't all iPhones done this? Someone get me a Pulse.

It actually

Made Seth look like a sell out for a few days - although had you ever watched any of the shows, you'd have known this kind of pull out was coming. Family Guy rips the shit out of Fox, literally the hand that feeds it. You think a cheesy sponsorship would work just fine?

Would you like..

Would you like Health Insurance with that, sir?

Hmm

Nuclear generator.. floating on a sea of flammables. Won't someone think of the penguins?!?

I like interplanetary space sailtboat missions!

Why?

Why even use models any more? Might as well CG it if you;re planning on photoshopping them to shit and back.

But then, why bother advertising at all? Jeans are just jeans, labels are there for stupid rich people to waste their money on. They seek out the most expensive they can afford to fit in to an imaginary social group

Haha!

"WM 6.5 uses Internet Explorer Mobile for browsing the web. The app is based on version six of desktop IE".

Classic!

Oh wait.. you're serious?

re: seanj - Fucking trekkies

Yes, that is how we make babies called Q :)

So much..

So much money floating around.. and all controlled by utter morons.

So..

So it'll take them another 5 years to come up with "iCompilations" which include several DIFFERENT artists of teh same GENRE in one PACKAGE!

The idea of making it cost slightly less than the mp3s individually will only occur sometime after the service degrades in popularity.

Please don't read this comment

You can't take a photo of this comment, becuase it is a plainly visible secret. Oh wait.. damn.

So,,

Apple will be hawking more over-hyped under-performing shite.
