Smart developers != IE users

The title is no longer required
Just had to log in for the first time this year to say that I hadn't heard Foxconn rebrander in ages and it made me laugh out loud.
Good stuff :)
Re: Might be a silly sideshow
Iprefs.... wasn't that an Amiga thing?? :/
Re: MAC users?
But sure Macs don't get viruses.
Re: End of an era
Are you for real?? Amigas were well better than Ataris!!
Laughably so, in fact.
Bollocks stuff.
“Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh.”
You mean:
“Commodore ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1980s with the C64 and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Amiga.”
There, fixed it for you.
Nokia is going the way of Commodore
They had it all, but they fucked it all away :/
Roundtable??
It better not have rounded edges :/
Posted in Ten… top tech cock-ups of 2012
The facts are these:
1) Apple screws over their customers.
2) People are starting to wake up to point 1.
3) Apple are not cool anymore - no innovation and petty litigstion hasn't gone unnoticed.
It's game over for Apple..
Good God, I can't wait for somebody to take a bite out of Apple :/
I used to use Lycos on Windows98.
Im only 29 but typing that made me feel reeeeealy old :/
I smell Apple's lawyers..
I wonder what bullshit they will use to sue this time?
Goddam right it has :/
Your foster parents are dead.
Windows 7
...will be my next OS, as soon as I can borrow a retail copy off a mate. Until then it's XP :/
Windows 8 can get stuffed.
You lost me at...
Apple II... dominent home computer.
About bloody time!!!
The old app was possibly one of the worst i've ever used. A quick glance at the reviews on Play Store tells you all you need to know.
QR codes...
...Are shite.
Shirley it would be madness to put windows on such a box.
Hold on a second...
Did I just read "Apple Australia contacted The Register"?
STOP THE PRESS!!!!
Apple are on the back foot.
Hahahahahaha. Arseholes.
Re: Anyone else
Fucking hell I am sick to death of AAPL and their bullshit.
Can't wait til they go tits up.
I really couldn't give a shit
As per title.
I must be going soft but..
I'm starting to feel sorry for the man, he's clearly away in the head :/

It seems he is ripe for the madhouse!!
Using the PSP as a remote for PS3 games..
.. was an idea that I thought was pretty cool (for the map in GTA for example)
It got quietly dropped.
With hindsight I can see why.
Apple can fool some people sometimes
But they can't fool all the people all the time.

Re: Don't forget the playing (on a PC) of MIDI files
I love my S3000xl. Needs yet another replacement backlight though :/
Plus MESA on a PowerPC OS9 Mac is an utterly miserable experience all round.
Call me a fool but...
Do BB devices not also run Android apps? If so, why would I waste time writing a native BB app?
It's the OS/2 effect.
Apple will reap what they have sown.

Re: Don't forget the playing (on a PC) of MIDI files
General MIDI != MIDI
Optional
And that's a wrap for the crap map app flap chap.
If Commodore didn't mismanage itself to the early grave...
We'd all be running Workbench 8 on our shiny Amigas. What a pity we aren't :/
Re: slightly higher than they think OEMs" Indeed, that is precisely what they have done in fact.
Just so they can get market share. I mean, why would the average punter get a Surface tablet over an iPad if there wasn't a big price difference? I completely despise Apple, but if I absolutely had to have a non-android tablet, I would get the iPad. Because of the apps. Unless Microsoft made me an offer (on a Surface tablet) that I couldn't refuse.
Re: slightly higher than they think OEMs" Indeed, that is precisely what they have done in fact.
:facepalm:
Surface Tension
If Microsoft really wanted the Surface to sell, it should have been priced at 200 quid max.
Fucking idiots :/
Re: Amiga connection
Conflicting reports. Things like this:

Amiga connection
Didn't Commodore license Workbench/Intuition for use in OS/2 in rerurn for REXX?
I may or may not be correct. Please advise.
Re: Joe Pillow
Haha yea Joe Pillow, what a guy ;)
Really does annoy me to see the Amiga airbrushed from history though.
Can I take this oppertunity to recommended Brian Bagnall's book Commodore - On the edge. It gives you a valuable insight into the finer points of mismanagement, and explains how Commodore really did snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Btw, CU Amiga Magazine was my personal favourite, then switched to Amiga Format when CU closed down. It was never the same though.
Good times.
No mention of the C64/Amiga
A bit ridiculous really. The C64 knocked the socks off the Apple crap, and as for the Amiga... Well it was the most mind blowing computer ever but unfortunately we all know how that ended up. But as they say, it's always the victors that write the history.. :/
Also... define 'PC' in the 80s please. I mean we're not necessarily talking IBM clones here.
Excellent!!! Mwahahahaha!!

Still think a Raspberry Pi with XBMC is gonna be hard to beat..
Apple are doomed
Sooner or later, people will realise what utter scumbags they are supporting. Plus the tech is shit.
I really want one of those :/
BB 10 better be amazing or RIM are fucked :/
