Re: Place your bets...
That could happen IF and ONLY IF there would be a huge drop in sales.
If professional won't be buying the Adobe CS7 fraud crap, refuse being ripped off by the Adobe CEO thief and his gang, then investors might force Adobe CEO to leave and policy to change completely.
Otherwise it's not going to happen.
Look at Electronic Arts with their SimCity fraud, a real shame, the law doesn't touch them although they got $$ millions selling an absolutely faulty product. They issued a 2.0 patch that just added more bugs to paying customers.
That is the cloud fraud. That is what these managers and CEOs are using cloud for. To steal money and nothing else.
What a huge fraud! Adobe worse than Electronic Arts (SimCity fraud)...
Really...
This should be to limit piracy ?
This is going to outrage paying customers, professionals.
Having to be always-on connected just to use the "algorithms on the cloud" for filtering images and so on... it's beyond stupid.
This is a huge fraud!
Shame on Adobe managers!
Adobe deserves to go bankrupt on this shame!

H.264 Level 5.1 supports 4096x2048 at 30fps resolution.
Posted in Why does our galaxy spiral?
All of this is just pure fantasy. It's not science!
It would be a correct simulation if and only if at the very least 30% to 50% of the whole galaxy was known down to a single atom. If and only if all unknown forces other than the known ones here on Earth were known.
Creating any simulation based on assumptions that rely on practically no data, because what is officially known about just our galaxy is a 0.000000...[0s]....0001% or less ... it's a childish fantasy. It's just wrong data.
It's just like creating any simulation in any videogame and that's it. Nothing more than that.
It's not the truth. It's not even a bad approximation of reality.
What a mess manufacturers have done with UEFI...
They don't follow the UEFI specifications. They let the firmware do crazy data rewrites in a nonsense fashion.
UEFI clearly has some serious design issues itself BUT manufacturers engineers and programmers nowadays seem a bunch of novice college students if not little kids.
Where are the real BIOS programmers ? They fired all of them with the economic crisis because they were too expensive ?
The IT sector is collapsing fast.. more and more dumb people promoting themselves as computer wizards and actually knowing very little if any at all.
Microsoft is going away sooner...
Windows8/Windows Server 2012 and WinPhone7.x and 8.x and SurfaceRT/SurfacePro with the awful useless childish unusable Metro/ModernUI have already been rejected by people worldwide.
But Microsoft keeps forcing people into using and buying the Metro/ModernUI nonsense.
So Microsoft will go bankrupt soon. And Metro/ModernUI will go away then.
NO! It doesn't make sense. It would ruin Apple!
And it would prove that Tim Cook is getting paid by the competition to kill Apple.
Only an absolute idiot otherwise would decide to release a cheap plastic iPhone version.
Apple doesn't need to and must not follow the cheap Google Android product frauds.
Who buys Apple always wants top-notch quality no matter what.
If Tim Cook starts selling crap Apple is doomed.
Re: All I need to say is
So you buy whatever fraud Sony and Microsoft managers can come up with no question asked, uh?
You must be rich and enjoy being ripped off.
Re: RE: comparison with a PC and PC performance
You are wrong.
To achieve the best performance hand written assembly language is always used.
The fact is that writing assembly is time consuming and only a few programmers can really do it.
There are less than 300,000 programmers in the world, any higher numbers is people doing basic programming. Out of those only a tiny 5% or less is able to do proper optimization in assembly on one or more platforms.
Re: Proof of the pudding
The demos look just plain lame!
Impressive what?
Do you work for Sony and you need to sell c*ap at any cost ?
The demos just show that the PS4 can offer no better graphic quality than what an old PS3 can already achieve.
Re: What a shame! What a fraud!
Nonsense.
The Sony PS3 Cell CPU when it was released was beyond anything Intel had to offer at an higher price.
That was innovating. That was worth paying a premium price for.
The PS3 is still far from outdated.
The first pictures and demos of beta PS4 games just show how bad the hardware really is. It's already outdated. It offers nothing better than what an old PS3 can do. And it's worse than any medium-range PC.
That is the whole point.
A cheap $100 AMD APU hardware only to rip customers off is just a shame Sony and Microsoft managers deserve paying by going bankrupt!
Unless too many people will like being sheep wasting money on cheap AMD APU PCs.
What a shame! What a fraud!
A fraud this console really is.
Cheap, slow AMD hardware. A custom AMD APU it's still going to be a slow product. The A10-5800K was released a few months ago and her it is:

Re: The best SSD config is SAS RAID controllers with SSD as cache
You are the silly one here that clearly doesn't have a clue what he is talking about.
You clearly don't know know how RAID controllers work either.
And no, if a controller fails you don't lose all your data, changing the controller with a new one getting back all the data is not only possible but it quite rarely happens in data centers.
Re: No need for any cache - just go pure SSD
Little kid you need to grow up and learn a lot of things before ever being able of even thinking about running an IT dept.
Re: No need for any cache - just go pure SSD
And a 512GB SSD would be enough for what exactly ?
Booting the OS maybe and just that.
Nowadays a PC can't have less than 2TB.
It's quite common having 6 or more 3.5" 2TB hard drives in a mid-tower or full-tower case.
Try buying 12TB of SSD ... if you can afford that.
Re: The best SSD config is SAS RAID controllers with SSD as cache
You have no clue what you are talking about.
A single SSD is not reliable, way worse than a single hard disk.
Reliability and fast performance must be both achieved for anyone that cares about protecting data either being a business or an average user.
RAID configurations are needed to achieve that.
The best SSD config is SAS RAID controllers with SSD as cache
Expensive ? Indeed.
Needed ? Indeed.
Whoever can afford buying such configurations absolutely should for getting maximum reliability and maximum performance.
http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/products/series/7q/
Adaptec Series 7Q with maxCache 3.0
71605Q: 16 internal ports
- caching writes to a redundant SSD cache pool (either RAID1E or RAID5)
- Supports up to 8 SSDs with up to 2TB of SSD
So a 12 SATA Enterprise class 1TB or 2TB hard disk drives in RAID-5 with 4 256MB SSD MLC as cache would give top-notch sustainted performance and good reliability with that controller. It means well above 1GByte/s both read and write with a such a config.
http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/MegaRAIDSAS9286CV-8eCC.aspx
Eight internal SATA+SAS ports
SSD-Optimized Software included; CacheCade Pro 2.0 and Fast Path Ready
MegaRAID® CacheVault flash cache protection (included)
A $300-$400 SAS expander needs to be added for getting more than the 8 included ports. The LSI is more expensive anyway than the Adaptec but it's way faster. With a 12 SATA Enterprise class 1TB or 2TB hard disk drives in RAID-5 with 4 256MB SSD MLC as cache config the overall speed could go well beyond 1.5GByte/s
Re: Prediction
"The PS3 DOES NOT have a dedicated hardware scaler. It uses a software hacked horizontal scaler which comes at a CPU cost." -- YOU ARE ON CRACK! YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
REALLY.
Samsung bribes to steal from Apple ...
...if the judges are corrupted then Samsung will get away with it.
That is called mafia.
Re: Competition is good.
Google Android is a fraud just like Facebook, Youtube. That is new economy bull at work.
Companies using Linux cheat on customers. Giving no real support.
Android is a huge mess. Low quality OS. Low quality hardware. No real standard so any developer to create apps properly would need to buy 30 to 100 devices just to do some beta testing.
Re: You're missing the obvious
Microsoft put the awful childish unusable Metro/ModernUI on WindowsServer2012 too!
And even VisualStudio2012 is all Metro/ModernUI nonsense style.
So what was your point?
At Microsoft they really are on crack. They must be getting seriously heavy drugs. Indeed.
All multinationals fake their accounting clearly....
15% net income drop with just a 1.2% revenues drop year-on-year ?
Something is clearly wrong with this picture. Otherwise Intel managers should be fired for not being able to ensure a proper net income.
Well, Hollywood studios/tv networks do even worse claiming to be almost bankrupt so obviously these absurd percentage drop numbers look like some little kid playing and nothing serious if compared to Hollywood.
However, it's still a fact that there are just too many lies with all businesses and accounting, both big and small fishes.
All trading bull. Microsoft,Google and Samsung behind it
Wall Street trading thieves at work.
Microsoft, Google and Samsung trying to both attack Apple and earn big bucks out of it.
What a shame they are!

Re: The Next Big Thing
SSD won't replace mechancial Hard Disk drives for another 10 to 15 years at least.
Manufacturers already have technologies in lab to increase Hard Disk capacity over 300TB. It's just for a marketing reason that they aren't pushing the technology and are slowly re-using existing tech before releasing anything new.
Re: Manufacturers should go 5.25" like the ancient Quantum Bigfoot
Since when RAID-5 had an higher failure rate than single drives?
Also no one with a bit of brain would setup a 3-disk RAID-5 anyway. The minimum proper RAID-5 setup is using 4 drives.
Also.. telling that current drives would have 1 error every 10E14 it's just not true.
Enterprise SATA and SAS hard drives have 10E15, 10E16 and 10E17 error rates nowadays.
If you thought that consumer cheapest hard drives with 10E14 was the best on the market today then you were living in the past.
Manufacturers should go 5.25" like the ancient Quantum Bigfoot
The now ancient slim 5.25" Quantum BigFoot hard disk drives it's the design that manufacturers should pursue now for highest capacity drives.
Yes, it would be limited to full desktop and server cases BUT it would allow 8TB to 16TB or more with current technology and 2 to 4 platters.
Helium filled drives in a 5.25" slim design would allow for very high capacity disks to happen now at current manufacturing costs and not in 3 or 5 years.
Corrupted judges. Wrong justice system.
Bribes from Samsung and Google and Microsoft are all good and sweet and tender.
Apple must be the bad evil one.
So it doesn't matter that they invented a user interface on iOS for their devices and other manufacturers copied it instead of inventing their own.
Because Apple must give away for free to its competitors, so the corrupted judges tell the world.
Disgusting.
More retarded nonsense. And CIA under Barack Hussein Obama orders behind it!
Barack Hussein Obama gave orders to CIA to create the mass murder case.
Just like with the The Dark Knight Rises..the mass murder in a theater a few months ago.
Banning video games is not going to stop a damn thing.
Banning weapons is only going to help criminals. Which is the main goal of Barack Hussein Obama and Democrats party will.
Kids and teens using drugs.. should just be put in jail forever
Drugs are the main issue nowadays.
Until drugs won't be banned for real this is only going to escalate further.
Re: Fake nonsense statistics based on flawed samples
It's not "flawed samples" it's FAKE SAMPLES.
It's fake statistics.
Who wants to drive away the freelance developers force from iOS to other platforms?
1) Microsoft. (desperate with their silly restricted Windows 8 developers program)
2) Google. (desperate with fake statistics to the press because they sell only very cheap phones and developers are quitting the platform due to customers not paying for apps at all)
If these fake statistics were true there wouldn't be around 15,000 freelance developers and tiny startups and small (2-5 people) software houses producing apps and games on iOS.
If everyone was getting only a tiny bit of money and just 25 big mutlinationals were getting all the profits there would be no one left developing for iOS.
If people buying iOS devices weren't buying apps and games there wouldn't be any profits.
Nowadays the average iOS user has no less than 100 apps installed at a time on any Apple device. At least 50 or more they buy.
Then a minority of iOS customers doesn't buy apps and another minority uses pirated copies (that lack updates..at each app update they must find a new cracked version and reinstall it.. how smart they are.. just like on Android..pathetic people stealing ultra-cheap apps).
85-90% of iOS users generate profits on the platform by buying apps and games. And surely not just 50 to 75 apps a year released by 25 big software houses on the platform.
Re: Fake nonsense statistics based on flawed samples
@magnetik
"Er, no. People will do anything for money based on perception. That's why pyramid schemes (and MLM) work so well; people think they'll get huge rewards for their investment. The reality, however, is usually something quite different ..."
You have no clue what you are talking about. The Apple Store is not a scam pyramid scheme. It's a true business. Developers are on iOS because customers pay for apps.
These fake statistics are clearly wanted by Google and/or Microsoft trying to attack Apple as usual.
Their scare tactic is just plain lame. Their platforms are scam ones indeed, on Android customers just don't want to buy even $0.50 apps. There is no profit there.
Fake nonsense statistics based on flawed samples
If any of this was ever true there wouldn't be so many freelance developers, startups and small software houses developing and releasing apps and games on iOS in the first place.
If only a few big software houses were getting all the profits on IOS platform no one would even be trying. Surely not freelance developers that usually start with just a few thousands bucks to buy the bare minimum hardware, software and books as needed to develop any good app.
NASA bulls and lies as usual..talking molecules while alien spaceships all around Curiosity...
Despite the censoring on images that NASA/JPL as well other military space agencies perform there has been plenty of pictures in which alien lifeforms, alien spaceships and alien buildings could be seen.
It's kinda silly that the scientists on Earth are so ignorant to follow like a bunch of sheep with no brain at all whatever pathetic lie NASA can come up with.
Actually theories on dark matter go beyond that and many are telling that it's practically phase-shifted.. so normal matter can pass thru dark matter like it was void but it's not.
What looks black and void out there could be a giant dark matter planet or star.
No you can't see a damn thing if it's camouflaged
Aliens able to build planet-size spaceships, do terraforming, create stars and planets surely have the technology to hide themselves.
Cloaking technology is used 24/7 all around us. Otherwise people on Earth would see more than a Moon in orbit every single day.
More fake numbers by Google....
.. so all these Android tablets.. who the heck is using those? No one of those customers is using the tablets to either browse web sites nor buy apps,uh?
The iPad dominates all actual way more realistic and true online traffic statistics while only a few are using Android tablets. If Android had 50% of the market that couldn't happen of course. But it does indeed.
Then add to that the fact that those buy Android devices want everything for free and don't buy apps...
If developers trusted these fake statistics by either Google or Microsoft claiming that they managed to defeat Apple they all would go bankrupt wasting their precious time and resources (the freelancers and small software houses and startups for sure) on either Android or Win8/WinRT8/WinPhone8.
All these claims are fake.
The iPad Mini by Tim Cook has been a huge mistake because it's outdated hardware at an expensive price.
BUT the iPad4 is the only true tablet on the market that is worth buying.
More fake numbers by the Microsoft marketing machine
Trying to make a fool of people and spin up lies so that those numbers would become a reality then.
There aren't 40million actual Windows8 users out there.
Microsoft just hopes that so many or more will enjoy being ripped off by Christmas time buying their lies for their crap unusable Win8 Metro/ModernUI kindergarten type thing.
Re: Only a fool would want the childish Metro/ModernUI on a server.
Metro/ModernUI is not a GUI, it's a silly childish joke. It can be nice in a kindergarten for preschool kids games but nothing more than that.
All the WinPhone and tablets with Metro/ModernUI tiles are just plain dumb. Adults wasting time with silly useless tiles lacking any advanced funcionality.
Also Microsoft claims that Metro/ModernUI is fast.. of course,it's just plain basic 2D vector graphics that even PCs of 20-30years ago would have been pretty fast a rendering. Everything about Metro is a huge lie.
Windows8 is a just a real shame.
WindowsServer2012 is an ever worse shame with Metro/ModernUI.
Add to that that the Microsoft Storage Spaces is a flawed unreliable attempt at copying Sun's software RAID ZFS functions.
WindowsServer2012 is just a big fail along with the whole Metro/ModernUI plague that turned Windows8 in a messed up unusable crappy product too.
Re: Only a fool would want the childish Metro/ModernUI on a server.
You just contradicted yourself multiple times there.
Rather silly.
Re: Only a fool would want the childish Metro/ModernUI on a server.
Really good because it's a little kids toy with less tiles ? So that makes that professional and productive? Geez!
You Microsoft employees every day come up with a new silly lie to sell the Metro/ModernUI crap.
Pathetic.
Only a fool would want the childish Metro/ModernUI on a server.
The Metro/ModernUI is a childish unusable nonsense on Windows8 already. Having it on WindowsServer2012
it's way worse and just more retarded.
Wasting time with Metro/ModernUI it's just plain stupid.
Microsoft deserves to go bankrupt on this mess.
Re: You've been duped again
"Cybercrime" and "piracy" are business managers bulls. The industry loves this, spins this and controls this all over the world.
They could shut down every single torrent site and sharing site in 24/48 hours all over the world if they really want to.
They never do that. With no controlled "piracy" they know hardware sales would drop and they would lose money. It's the industry itself that releases 90% of "pirated" copies on the 'net, as well as hacks, cracks and custom roms for smartphones and consoles.
They want people to believe that little computer wiz kids are doing all of that, and genius university students and other bulls. Unfortunately they succeeded into putting these false silly myths in the minds of worldwide population. The truth is far different.
Re: Err...
So just because the media spreads something on the 'net you think that it must be the absolute truth,uh?
Re: Split screen
The split screen thing is a design failure.
The screen on any smartphone is just too small and that feature has no usability at all, no matter how much the marketing tries to spin that.
Re: childish tiles on Windows Server 2012
The GUI it's an option,uh?
That's nonsense.
Linux or BSD and any Unix servers do have GUIs too. The fact that you can run long script on shells means nothing. And it's not that businesses using Linux, BSD, Unix servers don't use GUIs to do the job.
It might look nice and smart to do everything on the shell but it's not always the best way to do things at all.
And having a pathetic childish unusable Metro/ModernUI thing instead just means that the only UI option sucks and can't be used.
Re: Get over it
Microsoft window of opportunity ? That would happen only if people decided to throw away their precious hard earned money into bad Microsoft Win8 Metro/ModernUI smartphones,tablets crap products.
And seriously... business uptake of Windows Server 2012 ? What ?
Would any business really want to waste their employees time dealing with the atrocious childish Metro/ModernUI tiles ?
Microsoft wants to turn every business into a kindergarten with the whole Metro/ModernUI childish tiles pathetic thing.
But that doesn't mean that businesses will want to do that.
Having put Metro/ModernUI unusable childish tiles on Windows Server 2012 just shows how much on drugs employess and managers are at Microsoft nowadays.

"Sony sells PS3's Cell to Toshiba
By Thomas Ricker posted October 18th 2007 3:41AM
So much for their earlier denial, eh? An anonymous Sony official has "confirmed" to Japan's Nikkei that they will sell their advanced computer chip operations to Toshiba in an effort to re-focus on core business. The official announcement is expected later today. The sale gives Toshiba the manufacturing responsibility for the much hyped Cell processor used in Sony's PS3. Sony, of course, will continue to invest in the Cell chip. Nikkei says the deal is worth some ¥100 billion (about $858 million) and should be completed by March."

"Sony buys back Toshiba's Cell plant for 50 billion yen, makes a killing and plans a CMOS fab
By Sean Hollister posted Dec 22nd 2010 2:44PM
Looks like Toshiba's Cell processor ambitions didn't quite pan out -- Japanese news sources are reporting that the company's selling its Nagasaki manufacturing plant back to Sony for 50 billion yen, or roughly $597 million in US money. Considering that Toshiba originally purchased the semiconductor facility for 100 90 billion yen (then $835 million) back in 2008, it seems like Sony's making out like a bandit here -- and it may have just found the perfect place to build more CMOS chips for its high-end camera lineup, too. Sony reportedly told the Nikkei Business Daily that it may repurpose the facility to produce HD image sensors for cameras and smartphones. What will happen to the chip that launched 40 million PS3s and a graphics co-processor or two? With any luck, we'll find out at CES 2011 quite soon. "
Sony managers out of mind fully on crack
So they sold the Cell technology to Toshiba. They are not using Cell anymore for Playstation4.
And now they are claiming that they want to quit the tv market to turn into a semiconductor manufacturer instead?
That makes perfect sense, really? Indeed..you sell a huge asset like Cell and then you throw away your tv divisions in a hope to turn the group into a semiconductor manufacturer.
What great managers they are...
Sony is doomed to go bankrupt with these managers.
