Let me get this straight..

Let me get this straight.. I have the beta installed and it looks nothing like the OSFKA Metro. But I should also add that it's very underwhelming. The icons look a bit shite and there's nothing much excited about it at all.

My main reaction is very much 'meh'.

I'm sure he meant that, instead of learning how to twitter, expose your personal details on Facebook or search for porn, programming would be a better skill to learn.

Since upgrading to 6.1.2 my battery indicator doesn't want to go past 86%

I can already hear the advice from Apple support.. "clear all your settings and spend a day setting everything back up"

I'm getting pretty fed up with the shit now.

Android is starting to look very nice.

Back to reality

I tried their Sencha Touch 'Kitchen Sink' demo and I found it extremely slow and unresponsive.

They should have but some of their programming wizardry in their own demos.

Not offensive

Basic, but it works..

But apart from offline reading, I can't see much point in using this over m.theregister.com

So..?

What is Hadoop then.

I still don't know.

That's a first..

The jailbreak doesn't work for me. A 4S, 5.1.1. It hangs in the end for a long time then says something went wrong and restores.

Personally, I don't like 40 seconds of crap music at the start of a pod cast.

Not happy

iOS5 (on a 4S) is the first time I've ever been unhappy with my iPhone. Apps most definitely crash way too often. I don't know if it's the OS or badly programmed iOS5 updates, either way, it shouldn't happen on an iPhone.

And to add to that, the 5.0.1 update has left me with a ridiculously fast draining battery (I managed to fix the battery problems in 5 but no such fixes work in 5.0.1) and constant SIM Failure messages.

No good Apple.

This is worse

I had fixed my phone myself already using various techniques (setting reset, trickle charging, etc.)

I know installed this update and my phone is discharging a lot faster than before.

What a mess.

It's hidden because..

..it's a bit shit. It's not intuitive and it crashes.

Bonkers

My Nexus S was complete shit. A plastic case that scratched when you looked at it and a battery that drained faster than any phone I've ever owned, even after weeks of hacking and installing ROMs and it was god damn slow compared to my iPhone on top of that. So for the redesigned plastic with 4 year old GPU and a slower CPU we now have to pay £25 more than an iPhone. An iPhone which isn't made of crappy plastic. Absolutely bonkers.

If you have ever experienced the Nexus S you will take 'walled gardens' any time.

Let's at least hope that Icecream Wanky is not as shite as Gingerbread is.

The reality is..

The reality is that people, most of the time, don't give a crap what their friends are up to, let alone the 2000+ 'friends' some amass in their profile. Facebook will also soon find out that most people are stupid and that, no matter how nice and shiny that toy was, they will want a new toy at some point. They will play with the other toys available until there are none left but the stinky crappy built ones like Diaspora.

I, for one, have just deleted my Facebook, Google+ and Twitter accounts and I'm already feeling better.

Right..

So the writer of this article thinks he knows better than billions worth of top brains.

I think I'm going to place my bet on Google.

Journalism..who needs trusted sources anyway?

My mate heard a guy in the pub say that his friend worked for a film editor once and his boss had said that he will stop using FCP because it's not pro enough. I think that's enough material right there to write an article about it.

Lala land

They've been able to track people's whereabouts from the first day a mobile connected to a mobile mast. You really don't need databases on iphones all of a sudden to do that. You must be living in lala land to think no one can track you.

And for the Android people who think they can claim the moral high ground..

What? No Apple/Jobs angle?

Surely you could have fitted one in?..

Jobs declares Apple to be best free kick taker.

Jobs bends better than Carlos.

...

Poppycock

The best free kick was by Luc Nilis, playing for Anderlecht against Mechelen, as can be seen 11 seconds into this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8084934473300432540#

That's got more curve than Roberto's :p

Rational?

"What is it about Apple products that makes otherwise rational human beings behave like complete maniacs?"

I don't think that the person described in that blog is a rational one in any circumstance.. more like a yuppie wanker in every circumstance.

The Register..

..where anti-Apple fanboys roam freely!

Oh dear..

The anti-Apple fanboys at The Register must be having a party right now.

Keep your eye on the job people!

There's more flimsy tech news and anti-Apple stories to report on!

Is this the local Apple bashing forum?

I've noticed the anti-Apple fanbois are out in considerable numbers.

I updated to iOS4 myself yesterday. The update went smoothly, although 35 minutes for an update is a bit slow in my opinion. Having said that, I'm not very patient. I haven't noticed any problems with the OS myself. WiFi works just fine, 3G is the same,everything runs smoothly and responsive.

I am under the impression that the battery drains a bit faster, even when no apps are running in the background.

Paywall?

Why not stick all his crap behind a closed firewall instead?

Unfortunately..

Unfortunately, the IT departments of big corporation still seem to think otherwise. IE6 will cause many gray hairs for developers for years to come still.

Battery drain

Is it me, or does the 3GS' battery drain a lot faster after installing this patch?

Loved it!

I have eaten rat in Belgium many years ago. Tourists came from all over Europe to eat it and the reason why was that it's absolutely delicious.. that and the fact the Belgians know how to make a stew. It tastes like a mix of chicken and rabbit btw.
