  1. Comment - IPhone feature could enable Apple to kill apps remotely

    Whoa Apple... This is way too far. Please do not use the blacklist and disable apps remotely.

  2. Comment - Microsoft slashes Windows Vista retail price in surprise move

    Okay wise guy. What can they do better?

    People give MS crap because they can, and make comments like this and they are so dumb. Microsoft makes great OS. Sure, they have their flaws, but even Apple and Linux have their flaws, and if you say otherwise, you are being extremely ignorant.

    Likewise. Vista all the way for me! I've been that way since Jan '07. :-)

    Plus, I'm running SP1, and the system is a lot speedier and overall more stable. It's so great.

  4. Comment - Sonic Solutions drops HD DVD authoring in favor of Blu-ray

    I don't get these companies! I see absolutley no reason why Blu-Ray is better than HD DVD. HD DVD has a far superior IME (PiP with the in-movie menu).

    BTW, this petition has over 31,000 signatures to let the companies know the consumer has not "clearly" chosen Blu-Ray. Keep it going guys!

  5. Comment - Gartner analyst: HD DVD has until the end of 2008

    No. Just no.

    The PS3 can only load in 256mb of memory at one time for its graphics, whereas the 360 has 512mb of shared memory.

    So sure, it can have more on the disc, but it can't use it all at once.

    Oh, and don't even think of swapping textures during run-time off the disc. Blu-Ray on the PS3 goes out a mind-numbingly slow 9 MB / sec (and when you're trying to get your game running at 60 times per sec, that's intolerably slow)... 360 can load at 16 MB / sec.

    So sure, it has more storage, but it's not a whole lot of good when you can't store it all or load it fast! That's why you see games install data on your PS3.
