Re: "beats exceeding 300 beats per min"

Techno typically comes in around 140 - 150 BPM.

Apple pay income tax?

Really Apple? You pay the income tax of your employess? Doesn't come out of your employee's wage then?

Dicks.

Brilliant!

We've got a few iOS users at work that would love this kind of thing.

Anyone know of any alternatives?

Re: "claims people make about their future behaviour doesn't reflect real-life"

Streaming music apps like Spotify are so close to being perfect it's untrue. All we need is properly decent, ubiquitous mobile broadband. Especially in the countryside when I'm thrashing the motorbike.

When we have that (mainly because I listen to music either at home or on the go -rarely somewhere where I don't have either local storage or wifi), I'll happily sub to one of these.

The question really is which bloody one! I had the same problem choosing between Netflix and LoveFilm.

I'll never willingly let go of it. Can't say I like the speed at which Outlook.com loads though. I find it rather slow...

Also, the Sega F1 race is one of my earliest memories of F1! I loved that as a kid!

Sonic!

There will always be room in my heart for Sonic 2. That game was simply phenomenal.

As a side note, you could plug in pretty much any game in to S&K and play a random bonus stage!

Very nice. Far better than the Desire S I upgraded from.

They're being bundled with a flip stand case by a few places.

Good shout, considering CM are NOT supporting the S4 officially. Wouldn't surprise me if the UK version gets a decent port from someone else due to it running the S600 over here as opposed to the Exynos 8-core CPU.

This iteration of Sense does seem a whole world better than previous versions (I can say that with experience of all Sense's various iterations over the years), though I too prefer stock. At least this time, it's not been too over-engineered.

Regarding BLINKFEED: It can at least be set up to not refresh on mobile data. :)

Awesome phone

I've got one here, it's lovely.

I've never really bough spare batteries before, so removable battery doesn't bother me.

As for SD-Card... I've lived with an 8GB one on my Desire S for the last two years... 32GB in built is loads for me! I don't really play games on phones (aside from puzzles) because I refuse to carry a PS3 control pad around with me all the time. I've got a Nexus 7 for video (although the One has a far superior display, it's just too small for a film of TV show).

I feel for all you guys that need removable stuffs! This phone is honestly the nicest mobile device I've ever used.

Re: WTF?! "This App is not compatible with Nexus 7

Just updated to 4.2.2 by chance?

The only problem with Nexus devices is that having the latest version of Android often breaks your apps.

MikeyD85

Either way

the second an iGraphene device comes out, Apple will be suing everyone. Again.

that Apple will soon have a patent that covers TVs.

Impatiently Waiting

For this to come out on XBLA. I feel the analogue controls provided by the 360 pad will make the handling model of this game feel much more sim like. The sense of speed is already phenomenal. Gran Turismo and Forza will be terrified of this superior release.

Re: Dont give a damn

A real life that includes posting on a review of a video game to say simply that you don't play video games any more?

Mmmmhhmmmm.

There's nothing wrong with being a gamer. It's the biggest entertainment industry in the world as it stands. Games are played by more people and paid for by more people than any film, CD, whatever. You've missed on on a lot of fun sir.

MIDI controllers

are something for which I'll be eternally grateful. So, so much quicker than transcribing music in to a step sequencer!

Happy unbirthday MIDI!

Data Analysis?

I'd love to see a graph plotting his K:D ratio during the course of this record. I'd imagine it'd look like a slightly less steep backslash.

Otherwise, good on him. Being called a "fag", "gay", "loser" and whatever other insults squeaky American children hurl down their microphone for that amount of time takes some determination.

Surprised

The iPad mini is so low considering that most kids will be told to foxtrot oscar when they ask for a full priced, fully fledged The New iPad4.

Simply becuase

nobody really wants a touch screen laptop / desktop. It's just awkward to use. If they did a MBP that had a removable touch screen (Asus Transformeresque), it'd be a different ball game.

I was thinking

That this will sell like hotcakes - what with it being a high spec device at a mid range price. O2 are having a laugh putting it at £36/month. Might as well get a SGS3/Note2/OneX+ for that kinda price.

MikeyD85

Goddamnit science

When are you going to give us some closure!?

I think that...

... they'd be better off spending their monies on stopping the million and one TPB mirrors out there.

Hey kids,

My password for iTunes is "Password1"...

I'd be tempted by a 3G N7 on a contract. Considering the device is so cheap anyway, the contracts should be pretty nice, certainly no more than £15/month for at least 1GB of data.

Dear HTC

Please stop investing in useless gimmicks such as Beats and OnLive (though I find the latter phenomenal, it's not needed on a phone) and please concentrate on making awesome phones.

Put Android on the Lumia 900

Watch it sell to the mid range market like hot cakes. Well... warm ones... but better than stone cold ones.
