Re: Sony? What Baloney!

Typing on a Sony Vaio, the best laptop I've ever owned. Second best was my previous Vaio. But a bit jealous, because the wife liked my tool so much, that she bought herself a Vaio Fit 15, with the super high res screen, touch, and pressure sensitive digitizer. So now I drool over my her asset.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is, whatcha talking about Willis?

Re: gravy train

You obviously have zero idea what a class action law suit is. And if you think about how much your parents and taxpayers spent on your education, much bigger fuckup than $66 on powerups.

and let's not forget about you fandouches who said 10 inch was perfect and now dropping double the price of a nexus7 on ipad minis.

Re: Bay Trail Goodness

"So, why the hell are Microsoft sell peddling RT???"

Because they are not yet ready to admit what a huge ass mistake RT was.

Re: It's nice to see they're updating iOS 6.x also

"Unlike the o/s used by Android devices, which apparently are usually updated by purchasing a new device."

Purchasing a new device, which you fanbois do anyway, like sheep, every year the new shiny comes out?

Also you obviously have no clue what you're talking about. Google can and does update things on older phones.

But keep the butthurt iPropaganda coming. You provide entertainment.

"the iPad Smart Cover was also excellent"

You obviously have never used one of those shitty magnetic iPad Smart Covers. Because if you did, you would've noticed that:

1. offers zero protection for your shiny, at least not much more than a film screen protector

2. they come off all the time, so if you happen not to be holding the case and your shiny at the same time, your shiny will fall to the floor unprotected (see 1.)

3. they don't even work well as a stand, and hold your shiny in a way that it becomes too top heavy and fall over

But, it's awesome for Apple. Because of all the above, lots of new shinies can be sold to replace the the broken ones.

Re: Looks like

"people are leaving WhatsApp in droves"

Apparently, too little, too late. Since WhatsApp already has what they wanted and sold it to the Zuck for $45 a pop.

"I'll take my chances with the Apple Geniuses."

You must be a Genius like them Geniuses.

"Suggest you put it into a protective case?"

Sure, if you wanna look like a dork or retard. You just dropped $500 on the shiny, and you stick it into some butt ugly plastic case? I bet you have your sofas covered with plastic wrap, too.

Paris, because she prefers it without the plastic wrap.

"The PC is dead. All hail the Tablet?"

Man, I keep hitting F6 on my tablet but it still doesn't want to compile my C++ code. Gotta jump back on the PC I guess.

Re: Samsung owners!

So why do i see all you fanbois wrap your shiny into crappy plastic cases?

Re: Translation from MS speak

Yeah, those idiotic MS drvelopers. All they worry about stupid things like backwards compatibility. Making sure that you can still run your programs after a major OS update. Who would need to run a piece of software from 5 years ago?

Re: Dear Apple .......

" in the UK at least, the banks charge ~20p to process every single transaction, whether its £0.50 or £1000"

Yeah. When you move a couple bucks around.

Or you really don't think Apple gets a better rate?

Re: The problem they've got...

"I have done loads of development and overhauled apps"

"I will often build an app and then road test it with friends and family"

Wooo wooo wooo buckaroo. Let's back up.

"I have done loads of development and overhauled apps"

No, you haven't.

Re: I don't get it

Dude! As mentioned above, RTFA! Paragraph 4:

"Conveniently, US comms watchdog the FCC has given a thumbs up to in-flight mobile broadband, and the European Aviation Safety Agency is relaxing its rules on the use of electronics before and during flights"

Re: I believe it

@steven roper

you have absolutely zero idea of what you are talking about. your lengthy post has not one true fact in it. you don't have to have an ms account, and you can install any application, use the desktop just like in windows7, except it all runs faster. stop spreading this idiotic fud.

Re: Time to edit HOSTS

"My wife will moan if FB goes back in HOSTS."

Sure, but it might also have its benefits. Like you might start seeing home cooked dinners. Or she might sit down with your kids to do homework. Heck, maybe even you'll get lucky again.

Paris, because she knows a thing or two about getting lucky.

Re: Still $100 too much

"Probably a lot more once you get an ARM Linux variant on it."

Yeah, except name one that has even sort of semi decent touch screen support. Once you do that, please also throw in some applications that you can run on it, with using touch.

Thought so.

say what?

Well first of all I have no idea what you are talking about here:

" the point of prolonging OS longer on a small device"

If what you are getting at is that you don't need anything more than iOS and ARM, that's fine, just stay where you are and keep crushing them candies.

But I keep my i7 desktop and laptop, with a real OS for photoshop, 3d, compiling a couple hundred thousand c++ lines, and other more-fun-than-crushing-candies things.

Re: That and a prominent name or logo...

"ease-of use"

Like four finger tap, twist, slide down and hold? Gimme a break.

I stick with the menu and back buttons.
