Re: Ironic!

"@Barry - Did you even read the article? They clearly said that the problem was nothing to do with video, but the metadata related services, such as ratings, categories etc."

The coward is right! Too many retards hit submit without thought or consideration for whey they rant about. Hardly surprising in here tho is it?

"Hi Obviously!, why you using AC?"

Actually, I've not commented until now. Just to how retarded are you? As if we needed proof that your comments are ill-considered and just plain wrong (don't be teaching your mistakes to your mistakes).

PLUS, and most importantly, I'd never use a COWARDS tag. My set grew at the age of 13.

I'm happy with what I know to be true and have no reason to hide like the rest of the COWARDS allowed to spout their bile. WELL DONE TOM38!

Greedy bastards will always be greedy bastards.

Like it or not, the measure of a man is not in pounds/pence, dollars/cents.

The richest "people" can be the scummiest lowlives out there. They are usually psycopaths.

Others, can be normal human beings with a sense of responsibility, but usully they are power hungry psyco's who think that being rich allows them to manipulate others for their own gain.

No amount of money could buy me! I'm worth more than money, regardless of how much I earn.

Re: I'm actually interested in the new iPhone

"This will be the one that proves whether the magic was in Apple or Jobs..."

Who gives a shit?

Sounds like Jobs knob'd all of his followers. Well, they are all knobs anyway, so no harm done.

"To which the answer is almost as obvious: so they'll write about it and keep the frenetic interest in all things Apple bubbling along until there's some real news to report. "

Yup! And keep the SAD lot happy for a bit longer.

"Maybe users feeling they need to do their own thing is a reflection of inadequacies in what the company provides. Rather than totally rejecting the cry for freedom, or going to the other extreme of giving in to it too easily, perhaps we should simply roll out more appealing and flexible corporate solutions."

Or maybe the end user should shut the fk up and get on with the work. Cut the "I’m more productive on my mac/iPad" bullshit. You have what you need, and if productivity reduces disciplinary! Then sacking with a reference along the lines of 'they didn't want to use provided equipment and acted like a spoilt child because they couldn't use their iPad, so they were sacked for gross misconduct'

I could use any piece of tech and still be effective and productive at what I do. I would not show myself up by trying to justify an iPad (like i'd use one of those JOKE machines)

Re: Tell me …

"You forget the upside - removing a DVD drive from a current laptop means either less weight or longer battery life - for many / most users that is going to be more useful day-to-day. I use a DVD drive but perhaps 4-5 times a year so carrying a USB version (after all they are the size of a single CD case anyway) is not biggie."

W O W, did you read your ramblings?

Lets remove the optical drive, but carry an external one anyway? REALLY?

Re: I actually like Apple "stuff"

"But if someone can give me a dumbarse screen with a decent picture quality, no tuner, no media functions, no fancy crap I'd buy one tomorrow.

A disposable TV to go with my phone/computer/whatever I refresh every 12-24 months? I dont think so Tim!!"

Like you, as a (shamed) Apple consumer, have a say in the matter? You will buy what Apple tell you to buy! And you'll like it!

Re: If true it will do more than $1BN damage to Samsung

"Bollocks, Samsung rtipped off the iPhone 4s"

Nice fking MASSIVE fantasy land you're living in! Where the fairies and pixies designed the iPhone and was kissed by god before fate bring one to you.

"EVERYONE lives by double standards.

And are you saying hypocrisy is a mental illness?"

No. I'm saying religious belief is a mental illness!

Sorry there is not an all seeing, all powerful, mystical creature living in the clouds controlling everything, let alone a son!

When will human kind realise that religion is a story, and those stupid enough to believe it need to have their head seeing too.

"The giant etailer had been selling ebooks at cost or below to push sales of its Kindle ereader and gain brand loyalty to dominate the growing market. "......till Apple came along and colluded with the publishers to FIX the price of ebooks (which are now more expensive than paper (don't mention VAT please, this was obviously taken into account)).

Very ethical! If Apple were a person, i'd keep it away from the kiddies!

Re: i have to use outlook.com

"So why anybody would want to move from gmail to outlook is anybody's guess.

Gmail is crap, thats why. Outlook is so much better!

Still, once someone has chosen their client of choice, its hard to shift them, even when the failures are obvious.

Re: Assumptions, assumptions...

"I'm getting a little tired of this continuous "evil country" kind of thing; Iran, China, etc. All "evil". And only because we don't agree with the way they run their country just like they don't agree with our view of the world."

Those with this view don't help to feed the countries people, or save them from repressive regimes, regimes that willingly murder their own kind.

You are free to voice your opinions because we have stable society, which our forefathers gave their lives for.

Sorry, repression of the people IS evil.

What about Iranians who do not hold religious beliefs?

I would be living in hell if religious beliefs were to directly affect how we live our lives.

What if the government deemed the iPhone to be the work of the devil? You wouldn’t be able to use your desired piece of tech, because someone else decided that it was the work of the devil.

Your rights being stripped from you by a complete no one because religion says so.

"Khamenei has already demonstrated that he has no qualms about applying a double standard."

All of these religious nutters have double standards, regardless of the God they follow.
