Re: Can anyone....

If you don't tell iTunes your FB login, it won't use this new stuff. Solved.

Why would you stick a brand new, bloated OS on a low-power cpu?

Where do you get Bloated from? W8 is by all accounts nippier than W7 which was nippier than Vista.

Re: No Lumia?

I mean the Windows version obviously...

Re: Only one problem?

That's just another band-aid though (sorry to use the US term). You don't just need to be able to write in a nice language but debug it, etc. And since JS is so heavily optimised it all just gets really messy, surely?

I think something like Google's NaCl is a neat idea - but that also suffers from tools. With C++/Java/.Net the debugging tools you have are simply sensational these days and stepping backwards from that seems, well, backwards.

the ECMAScript used in Flash (AS3) is a lovely little language, why can't we have that at least? Although frankly the whole DOM and CSS mess doesn't fit well with 'proper' apps in my view... web-pages and web-apps don't fit well together.

Are we going to end up everyone writing their graphics inside a Canvas using custom rendering, basically what Flash did?

Re: Random opinion

Don't be stupid, they're not going to force motion control on you simply because that isn't an option for many users. You'd be able to turn it on/off.

@AC 21:07

Thanks, that's all I was looking for.

Love downvotes on my question for simply asking a question. Those wacky Android shills, they're so cool.

Re: Could be in Nokia's interest

Why's it need to innovate, iPhone is popular and this version is a bit sexier and a lot faster with some upgrades on the OS. If you like iPhone, you'll like iPhone 5.

Something big and new is ALWAYS a gamble so you only make it when you need to. Like the Lumia, they have nothing to lose so gambling makes sense.

Please do feel free to grow up. You're just an embarrassment.

And no I don't own an iPhone or shill for Apple.

Re: Storage?

16Gb for a nano seems fine.

I don't think Apple view Nano as something punters will upgrade every time like iPhone, merely they keep updating it for people on old versions, or new customers.

Re: Facebook is not the social networking platform of the future

"Facebook is a college yearbook website that expanded to accept non-students. It was never really a fully visualized social networking platform. "

Fair point except that FB today is very different from FB when it was a college yearbook. That version no longer exists.

Blah bl;ah blah. People have been saying FB's going downhill since it had about 1 million users.

Re: swerving wildly off-topic

please don't use the word 'evolve' you clearly don't know what it means. You've learned this over your lifetime, not passed on altered 'ad ignore' genes.

Re: The flaw is in the very words "information people need to consume"

The VAST majority of computer use IS consumption. Therefore it makes sense to bias your UX to that area. People creating content can stick with Windows 7 or just use the W8 desktop.

Re: Not poisonous

Maybe both.

Re: What's the new part?

If recycling is free, don't you get people just dumping their trash into the recycle part?

You say false advertising, I say lack of understanding of technology.

Yes but you're a nerd who knows about how computers work, the typical user isn't.

We know why broadband doesn't always/normally get the quoted maximum speed but we still complain it's misleading. Same deal.

Re: Have used...

Terminally lazy? Really, you search hundreds of agents manually? Or do you mean you use the comparison tool and then manually check the best two or three?

I'm not a web-dev and I can figure it out.

Re: GoDaddy no wonder

It's less about who opened the door than it is about who walked through it.

Yes we know, everyone popular is shit, blah blah blah. Maybe when you're old enough to run your own business your opinion will be worth listening to.

Re: Hacker?

Really, we're talking about millions of sites taken down, thousands of businesses impacted, and you want to whinge about how we're using the wrong term?

Flying has become too safe; people are just not prepared for anything going wrong

If it does go wrong, all those safety drills mean pretty much diddly squat... pulling a little mask over your face as you plunge to the ground at 400kt

Re: Both of them?

App developers are going to be 95% phone/tablet. Equating W8 on phone/tablet to Vista just makes you look a fool... if anything WP7 was the Vista and W8 is the good version (mobile only).

There were loads of stories about tickets flights being more expensive if you shop with a mac

The recent story was about hotel bookings and it did NOT say they charged more for Mac users. It said Mac users were shown more expensive rooms first - the same rooms were available at the same prices to all but Mac users were shown the more expensive ones first.

As for the "plane flights go up in price" thing, well plane tickets DO go up in price nearer the time don't they? Are we talking about using the provider's site directly, or using sites like Kayak which won't tell each airline your cookies?

Google's advantage is that Apple are control freaks

This is also Apple's advantage.

CLOSET fanbois.

Dude you need to take a intro to statistics course ;)

Re: There is a 100% effective filter ...

"This is why you don't give your kids access to the internet anywhere other than a shared laptop in the living room or something."

So confident and yet so naive. Your children have friends, right?

Re: Floppy disks

I very much doubt you ever had 8"

Neither, I'd bypass the filter.

Now read the question again. Or re-word as "if bypassing the filter was a lot of hassle"

So should the age limit on sex be removed too, and it's up to the kid's parents to decide when they are ready? What about parents deciding their kid is old enough to go to the pub and buy booze?

Re: Has anyone thought of the children?

The whole point is children aren't deemed able to make a mature response. That's why we have age limits on tobacco, sex, voting, etc.

Re: Are you serious?

I don't get a 7 second delay even on the cheapest Lumia 610. I wonder if his stopwatch is faulty ;)

Re: I had a Lumia 800

It's great how you don't let things like not knowing what WP8 is like get in the way of such a confident decision. Who needs facts, pick a decision and stick to it no matter once!

Re: Sir

A service you require?

Re: There is a 100% effective filter ...

Kids are always more technically savvy than their parents. Even good parents stand little chance really. And if you're a parent who thinks you've stopped your kids accessing the web freely, the chances are you haven't.
