  1. Comment - Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 goes live

    (Mar 5, 2008 - 6:10 PM)

    From what i read on the net, IE7 is the biggest disaster of a browser ever conceived, even though its not at all.

    Same goes for Vista. People speak about it like it raped their wife and kids, yet it sells well, is used by millions, and a lot of those millions seem to enjoy it.

    Microsoft has to please the people who enjoy their products, as well as the people who will never enjoy their products, hence the constant updates.

  2. Comment - Think Secret settles with Apple, shuts down

    Well, considering the money it costs for the phone as well as the voice and data plan, he still wants money left over to pay for school.

    Now that this is shut down, does this mean that pre-Apple event rumors will slow down and eventually hault, because then this agreement goes to benefit 3 parties.

  3. Comment - Microsoft misjudges demand for new Zunes

    I know exactly what you mean. When i picked up an iPod 30 Gig, i realised i got a sub-par clone of a Creative (since creative owns the patent on the interface, one in which they won in court), so i went back a got a Creative.

  4. Comment - AMD and ATI head for uncharted territory with 'Spider'

    (Nov 19, 2007 - 7:02 PM)

    I really feel bad for AMD. They never get a break. Now, since Q6600's are selling "retail" for about the same price as the 9700, AMD will now have to drop the prices of the 9700 so the price/performance ratio is in-line.

    Will this mean more money lost per processor like the raping they got handed to them with the latter months of the X2 series?

    Will they also drop the price of their 3800 series cards, since they too get their asses handed to them by Nvidia's offering?

    What the hell is going on at AMD?

  5. Comment - Digital music downloads won't replace CDs, says report

    (Nov 19, 2007 - 4:02 PM)

    Agreed. A library of CD's will always be better than having a digital, restricted copy.

    I just rip all my CD's to some lossless format onto my HD. If i want to make a mix CD, no audio quality is lost. If i switch devices and i have to convert to another format, there they are.

    Until online services allow lossless downloads, with no DRM, ill continue to buy CD's. In fact, even if that occurs, i will still buy it. I have a ton of empty spots on my rack that need filling.
