Re: Bye bye Spotify (I mean Spotiface)

Are you mad? Spotify *requires* FB account and there's no other way to open your account except with FB. Can't use your email. In other words, no FB account no Spotify account. This is not integration, this is called acquisition. Spotify is Zuck's b*tch. Obviously you don't have an account so why are you pulling things out of your arse?

WebRTC?

MS will never embrace it so this might be a nail in the coffin for a wide adoption. Strange as Google has invested or open sourced 100's of millions worth of tech into WebRTC and is now letting MS stop its penetration as they please. Unless they've done a deal already and MS plans to support it, which I highly doubt.

Bye bye Spotify (I mean Spotiface)

The day I see the viable alternative I'll junk this Zuck-balls-lickin' service. Apple or Google, or Samsung, or anyone else, I 'm just not giving my money to anything FB pwned.

Nice! But!

I still can't select all unread emails at once, just a stupid endless scroll. It seems to be receiving emails much slower than other emails, attracts the most spam somehow, chat bots spawning all the time, and it seems that Yahoo! is sharing everything I do to all my previous contants. PoS IMHO, stopped using it completely.

FB is Fox News in reverse

Fox is taking all the BS this world and sticking it aggressively into people's heads. FB is taking all the BS from people's heads and broadcasting it to the world.

Re: Christ-on-a-Bike!

Just using that post title places you firmly into FB fanboi category

Logically

Lots of people never wanted a laptop in the first place but they got one because there was no other device to use Facebook. Now that there is cheaper, lighter and fancier alternative, they got what they wanted. Computers are for working.

Riiiiight

Some things just have to be hard to function properly. How about some bendable spoons?

Is it again a liner shooter?

Just one path, not able to take different paths, no tactics, no strategy? Previous versions were like a competition how many mosquitos you can smash.

What about H?

I thought one of the main reasons for excitement is not to go there to drink water, but use it for electrolysis, so that Hydrogen could be extracted and used as fuel for space missions. Is this still an option now?

iPhone has no malware

Because nobody uses it, so the malware creators don't have any incentives targeting iOS.

HTML5 is a whore

And everybody can do to it whatever they want, kick it around like a can, no direction, no ownership. Apple being the prime example of killing the HTML5. After years of bashing Flash and kicking it out of existence, with HTML5 as an excuse, they are now equally trying to stop the development of HTML5. iOS Safari for example blocks the use of multiple sounds at the same time, and only restricts sounds on user interactions, so... no games outside of the app store. Thanks for improving the state of Web multimedia, it worked out great!

Map wise

In all the 1000s' years of history of the mapping, Google somehow missed to put a scale on their iPhone app, and the names of the rivers.

If Apple's maps only fix that it will be a huge improvement for me.

Maps with no scale? Please. What next, coffee with no coffee? Oh wait... Starbucks...

This would imply that

Google Translate is dumber than Dumbia himself. No seriously, why is Google full of these half assed products lately? Reminds me of MS more and more.

Re: Hot Cakes

I'm kind of a on his boat. I used iPhone a lot and my plan expires in November. But from what I've seen on Galaxy S, my secondary phone, the UI really is a mess, and the casing becomes terrible after a year, looks like crap really, worn out thin plastic. iPhone case still looks like "Bang and Olufsen" piece after 3 years of usage. I might switch over, but really after a good look at it.

Ah the good old days

Cut some jpegs with clouds, puppies, tits and shit, sell through Handango as mobile wallpapers for £3, keep 30% of the revenue and you're done. Since iPhone, you have to bloody develop a whole app to get £0.59 from the market. The Satan himself must have brought this device...

Re: Holiday season?

And in SF they don't have summer holidays for two reasons:

1. They don't have "summer"

2. They don't have "holidays", (i.e. Americans work too much)

People are sick of Adobe

Every year there is an upgrade, every year. No significant no features, just ... an upgrade. They keep on inventing their pricing models and how to squeeze more money from costumers instead of inventing and fixing their products.

Dumb f*cks

Is what Zuckerberg calls FB users for trusting him their data, so why should I treat them any better than utter idiots? That goes for investors too.

Apple has less to do with slavery than the manufacturer of the sneakers you're wearing. But hey, why should you care, huh?

They had to hold the price

artificially. Once it fell back to original price the underwriters were holding the price not letting it go lower. It will be interesting to see how it moves once they won't be able to speculate further.

Re: why the hate?

PS3 - no way to decently browse web, no way to decently view youtube videos. So much they could do with that device, but I guess earthquakes are preventing them (not laziness). If it weren't for Blue Ray player I'd sell it long time back.

I guess earthquakes are preventing them to create a workable browser on PS3 for years now.

Love it or hate it, whoever can get one proves that he's willing to go through all kinds of sh** and bureaucracy probably really deserves a stay.

Re: Austerity?

>>Please highlight which particular cuts caused this, and when they actually took effect.

Maybe 25% of housing and 25% of social expenditure? Was this money available to private sector and individuals buying stuff, things wouldn't be so catastrophic, money would be flowing - i.e. economy growing. Double dip recession, when they promised growth? You gotta be kidding me, are you their shitguard or what?

All this austerity BS is a way to make poor poorer so that "aristocracy" can reclaim their god given rights to riches.
