Re: Ship it! Fix it! Patch it!
Raging Doucheball, one of the most bigoted tech zealots on the web, and all round obnoxious and arrogant cock, is hardly a fit person to sling mud.
Soundcloud can fuck right off with their recent overhaul, where they ignored outcry of the faithful paid users who got them to where they are now. Autoplay that you can't turn off is bad enough, but it insists on playing utter shite you have only the most tenuous connection with. Presumably an attempt at stat padding views/plays for when they start selling ads.
Re: Wasn't this
You'll find that html5/css3 stuff that now replaces flash actually uses a lot more cpu (e.g try run any canvas animation on mobile) and has a larger file size (doesn't compress as well as in a swf and needs lots of large external libraries like jquery). But html5 is the hip thing so yay for progress in a going back 10 years type way.
-10 = point proven
humourless and angry. I'm deliberately installing powerline adaptors from now on wherever I can, for no other reason than to interrupt these obnoxious old farts
Great reply. I totally have respect for the knowledge of radio hams, and any garden shed scientist, but absolute disdain for their unyielding and cantankerous lack of humour. Wherever there is a radio ham thread, there are angry old men, but if they were REAL radio hams they shouldn't be on the interwebs, they should be expressing their indignant rage on shortwave, tootling and beeping frenzied morse to whoever may be listening on another side of an ionosphere bounce.
This thread smells of stale bovril, burnt electronic circuit boards, sandals, mouldy lofts and pipe tobacco.
It's an inducement to encourage local gas production and secure energy resources under our control, rather than rely on Russian gas import to Europe or the slowly ramping but still miniscule renewable sector.
I though open source was supposed to superior because it means everybody could see and fix bugs, there's no way bugs could go unfixed for years like in bad proprietary software?
Re: Wow, I can't wait.
except noscript won't do much about css3 animations will it
Re: Because...
"holds back development of a richer web"
What a load of tosh. There's loads of advanced functionality that can be done in flash that can't be done at all in html5, and plenty more that can be done in a reasonably cross platform and browser way that you won't be able to do for perhaps another 5 years due to cross browser incompatibility in html5.
That's without mentioning how javascript is positively retarded compared to actionscript, and how flash managed to iterate and deploy new versions with new technology a lot more rapidly than can ever be hoped for from the w3c
Re: What About the Sea Level?
You wouldn't notice, because the boats are lying lower in the water, as each generation of yank bible-bashing anti-science hamburger munching fucktards that fills said boats is a little bit more grossly obese.
At least in centuries gone by, you tidally bobbing sea-turds could only whoop and holler within waddling range of the nearest barbecue or baseball game. Now that we have internets y'all gonna spread your righteous, homely fisherman's 'wisdom' over in parts of the world where we read books n stuff and rightfully pour scorn on hill billy bubbas homespun yarns.
Re: Market forces apply
That old myth was disproved long ago, yet you state it as a fact (which is typical of uninformed anti-flash trolls)
This could finally mean 'the year of linux' ! Ok a bit to go from the 0.74% recorded here but getting there http://www.statowl.com/operating_system_market_share.php
While I generally agree that Adobe deserve a lot of criticism, there's a lot of whining about price for what are professional tools meant for full time creatives.
If you're a target professional (as opposed to a part-time bedroom hero 'designer' working from mommy's basement) then you can make back the price of the suite with one small website, one corporate video, one brochure. A few days work a year will keep you in upgrades, big deal.
If you're a bedroom hero, or whiney skinttard, then as others have mentioned above there is plenty OS software like the gimp, audacity, inkscape etc for you to fiddle with, you could even probably use open office for your birthday invites and the like.
Re: Re: Re: "Windows is dead."
Why do you bother with Matt Asay writing, all his articles sum up to 'apple is great, everybody else sucks'. It's getting real tedious.

tedious troll
This kind of lame trolling is why every right minded individual hates apple zealots
Barristas Ho!
This means a vicious circle where jesus phone toting barristas can spend more time tippy tapping and ignoring customers, yet can clap like a seal being fed fish everytime a fellow iSwipe hipster rings the till.
Radio hams are .. killing the bees!
And it's not like radio hams are communicating anything useful. Kinda like twitter at 1 billionth of the message volume, where the letters get garbled and smudged, and restricted to chat about beards, pipe tobacco and 'old people staples' like bad health, the weather, the good old days (before powerline adapters/ the war)
I detect a pipe has been spat out into a cup of bovril
I can't believe the irresponsible radio hams! Their radio waves FUCK OVER MY CARRIER PIGEONS and their magnetic homing. Have some FUCKING RESPECT for carrier pigeon operators. Jesus Christ
ha frickin ha
Always like to see greedy selfish leechtards that take the piss torrenting and warezing and fuck-knows-whatsing with their 'interwebs' getting a massive HOOF IN THE BAWZ. There is no way anybody that gets throttled or capped is using their bandwidth for stuff that isn't illegal, unethical or just plain tarded. Anybody that downvotes me is quite clearly a bearded torrenting porno fiend.
Enough to make the bovril-starched beard hairs of radio hams stand on end, a-quivering with ludditiary rage at a guess.
Posted in Happy birthday, Apple QuickTime
People might be banging on about the death of flash, but ideally can this bloated pile of itune infecting shite be next up for the chop?
There's plenty reasons. Take advanced web apps like audiotool.com. You'll never be able to do stuff like that in html5 for at least a decade.
Why does a hairdresser need an imac?
There at least 4million hairdressers/ boy band wannabees/ cocktail bar posers that have to have the latest iPhony before the next weekend to post essential xfactor facebook updates. Their lives would be a shallow trough of skinny jeans and flacid hair gel without an up to the minute shiny hipster prat badge to radiate their elite hipness.
Posted in This Dianamania is a slur on Jobs
What a load of cobblers. For a start, big label monopolies kept dribbling turtlenecked wannabees and their weak music back in their moms basements where they belonged. The 95% of people without macs happily produce videos, graphics and muscic and websites. The fact you have used iweb to produce a website proves you are clueless.
an ignoramus with an iphone is still an ignoramus
you could print this tedious fanboi rant on some sheets of paper, then use it to mop the frenzied foam from your mouth, the spittle from your desk and the crybaby tears of anger from your eyes.
tool of tools
If you are any of the following an iphone is an essential purchase
hairdresser
chav
bling bling gansta
smug tech bore
hipster attention whore
spoiled student
For any of these personas, the new device will sustain you through another year of not having any character or a life
Posted in Google shamed by Apple in race to HTML5
Anybody that uses opinion from the blog 'Raging Doucheball' by Gruber, the well known Jobsian fawner and sycophant, to back up their argument basically gives the game away that they to are of the same ilk, though shouldn't be surprised considering about the google hate shown since Strobe was formed by an ex apple employee.

crapps not necessary for cheapo tablet
It has the web, email, and will function as a useful media player, which is all it needs to justify the new price considering these are the tasks that justify a tablets existence for the majority of users.
You are correct in that there won't be a glut of thousands of useless tat apps that hold the attention for 5 minutes, and the dozen or so apps that have actual utility that can't easily be replaced by some web page or another.
Posted in Adobe outs un-Flash web animation tool
Adobe only responding to market demand
They're only responding to market demand from bearded web standards bores, who after years of whinging about flash and grumping about new fangled animation, now find themselves liberated by the html5 w*nkfest to fawn excitedly over over every hello-1995-again sub-flash html5/css3 jerk-o-animation. There are at least half a dozen other html5 animation apps in various stages of beta by the likes of sencha.
Hey standardistas, you wanted html frippery and now you're gonna get it ladled to you in massive glowing, flickering and unblockable spoonfuls, adobe or no adobe.

It's also a bit tiring how apple fanbois cry every time apple get criticised
Posted in Apple iMac 27in
Commentards ho!
As we speak, Fanbois are in a frenzy of ipad tippy-tapestry, the outer feathered fringes of their 20-haircuts-on-one head quaking with scientologist level anger at this outrage of vigesimal score omission. All across the metropolis, metrosexuals forehead albedos are rising to match the perfect gleam of their aluminium obelisks as they frantically scrabble to comment quibble.

Whiny crybaby fanbois
What a surprise, a flock of whiny apple fanbois up in arms like insulted scientologists because their overpriced underspecced shrinetop doesn't have the reviewer quivering in a post review metrosexual wank-spasm.
Haters
What's childish is long cry baby posts whining about free thinking individuals who happen to not like your stupid cult

Yawn
Adopts smug vocal tone quivering with jobsian metrosexuality, yet strangely high pitched through turtle necked throat compression:
" YO, dude! That's MAGICAL, this changes everything..AGAIN!!"
There are a few
But none that cover all platforms consistently. Phonegap, rhomobile, appcelerator titanium, openplug, ansca corona..
Who's the maniac?
Governments locking people up without due process is never in the interest of the majority, unless you think that society would be better off emulating Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia.
It's cranks like you, with your secret desire for a police state, and to disappear people you don't agree with, that are truly dangerous and delusional.
You can pay instead
Instead of a few harmless ads perhaps you can pay to write all the content and host all sites like this one, that rely on advertising. Sure nobody likes ads, but what's the alternative? Paywalls?
Whiny freetards are probably the most loathsome aspect of the intarwebs.
Posted in iPad 2 spawns updated iOS and apps
iYawn mk2
Tablets are for puffed up tube-exhibitionists and dimwitted sofa-turds drooling over twitter and xfactor simultaneously.
The iTard version 2 is another pointless appendage to attach in unison with apple fanbois' brains to their master and commander - the all knowing, 90mb of genius that is iTunes.
The reason iTardSlab doesn't have USB is so that these creatures can move out of their clutter of silver nick nacks and interact with things such as the toilet, their shrine to nasty old man, and the local designer roll neck sweater shop.
Like fanbois other appendages, this new sparkly has also atrophied, thinner, lighter, faster, slippery, gets a lot of self touching.
Bandwidth
Apple fanboi commentards are bleating a lot about how they deserve the cut due to expensive hosting costs. Uhm, no.
Bulk bandwidth a couple pence per gig = 1000 app downloads
1000 app sales at a quid rakes in 300 bucks and costs them maybe 5p, so do us all a favour and stfu with the 'expensive hosting' bollocks excuse

Whiny fanboy
Heres an idea... if Anti-Apple comments make your blood boil so much (did they steal your sweeties or something?)... STOP READING COMMENTS ABOUT APPLE.
Its really not very hard.
I love how not liking Assle is somehow made out to be evil or wrong. Perhaps if the assle commentards could respond as effectively they wouldn't all be struggling to catch up??
Duh
Couldn't quite learn to spell 'business' then? Perhaps playing with thousands of fart apps on your dumbphone has addled your brain.
'lol'
Boris was right..
..'wallowing in their victim status' again.
As a neutral I thought both decisions were spot on. All the scouse moaning at these decisions is due to their aversion to authority and the rule of law.
e.g moaning at the dole office when not getting invalidity benefit any more, moaning at the police for getting caught thieving, moaning at referees about penalties when their captain is one of the biggest cheats of all time, regularly filmed and proven diver
