  1. Lol. I'm sure Obama went up because the people who like him are more likely to be tech saavy.
  2. I know, isn't that evidence against Apple's claims? Or does the way this trial works is that Apple presents everything and Samsung has to refute it? I have no idea how patent cases work.
  3. So they're releasing that info because it's not being used in the case.... but why is osmething like that not being used in the case?
  4. Alienware... monitor? I don't think I've ever seen one of those before. What advantages does it (supposedly) have?
  5. I never beat TWEWY. I got to the third character (who itself is a spoiler iirc.) Does it spoil anything after that?
  6. I don't play MMOs, but for MMOs that switch to F2P, or ones that are more recent that are designed to be F2P (after the success of other recent F2P MMOs)... how different are the games? Are things suddenly put behind paywalls that weren't before or all of these companies making money off vanity items?
  7. In that case, what does that have to do with Spec Ops? They should be considered poor games on their own.
  8. How does one game ruin 2 other games that are in the same genre but not related?
  9. You didn't hear? They took inspiration from roguelikes and made it perma-death.
  10. Yep. I've read one. I think there's supposed to be another when the ADWD paperback comes out.
  11. I never did it since it was so fucking easy to be stacked with everything at all times. Not to mention it doesn't make sense to even find that stuff on bodies besides money.
  12. They're getting rid of Aero for the RTM/final version so it's going to look a lot more consistent.
  13. If you like the style you'll love it when it pops up when hitting the start key. Searches are so prrtty now.
  14. Checkout the Firefox early releases. Beta IIRC is where silent/background updates are at right now, and there's a few changes in Aurora and nightly. You can turn off instant search btw: IIRC Opera 12 came out recently and there isn't some cool beta or anything
  15. So if you think the start menu should have been gone a long time ago, what do you consider a better replacement than Metro? In terms of efficiency, it's equal, you can still just type to open shit. It's just more visual and looks a lot better. The categories make it easy to use. Also, noise=/=facts. You can still install whatever you want onto your computer, MS just has a very up-front "store" now. That's what Gabe and the Blizzard exec are complaining about. Microsoft's store is what every single user of Windows 8 is going to see first thing, rather than Steam, rather than whatever the hell the Activision-Blizzard guy wants you to see. That's very powerful. Average joe doesn't look for alternatives. Then again, if no one puts games onto it (all that's there so far are tablet/phone style games) then it's not going to be a big deal as people will still download Steam for gaming.
  16. How so? Why not switch browsers? There's no shortage of alternatives even if you stick with Webkit/Chromium
  17. When you say Metro, do you mean the start menu? I don't get what you are referring to. There aren't any transparency elements in Metro. Also, in the RTM version of Win 8, the whole thing will be Metro and Aero will be gone so it will all fit together a bit better. Windows 8 isn't closed off. You can still do everything you could on Windows 7 with it.
  18. ^The older iPhone models are always cheap anyways. New one comes out, current one becomes affordable.
  19. I''ve been playing through Hard Reset since the DLC is out. It's pretty damn fun and it looks nice (albeit a bit repetitive.) One thing I love about it being a PC exclusive? Go look at a sign. Any sign, poster, or advertisement. Full. Fucking. Resolution. It's glorious.
  20. Grandma might not be getting a smartphone but Mom certainly is. The cost doesn't matter: Everyone has cellphones, eventually most people upgrade, and most of these people upgrade to smartphones since they're so damn cheap. IIRC, over half of the phones in the US are now smartphones. I don't even think that's a recent statistic, either.
