more than a bit dude. you dont even need LAN anymore. you are a fukin WAN only pioneer. nothing can tie you down. nothing. you are truly free.

hahah irate's on a tear lately.

in all honesty, i'm sure the new display is great. however, is it the fucking second coming of christ? some douche bag blogger on gizmodo was like "the resolution on this thing makes your HDTV pathetic". Know what else make the resolution on my HDTV look shitty? How about my old CRT monitor from 2004. i forget what what could go up to. like 2500x1600 or something.

I could not give less of a shit about a retina display. To me it just sounds like "We put something slightly better in so we could charge you substantially more."

Here is a quote about it from Wiki:



So what? I can't notice any pixelation on my 22 inch widescreen LG monitor at 1920x1080 unless my face is about the length of my index finger away from my monitor. Who sits that close to a computer monitor?

I understand it more on the iPhone because you would hold that closer to your face.

Not that I need a tablet, but i'm watching the live feed on CNET for Microsoft's new Surface tablet and it looks like a decent rival to the iPAD.

very interesting use of the word "Surface" which was a project MS started years ago, predating iphone, where I first saw pinch to zoom and other gestures that are common today.

I really like that the stand is attached to the system and just pops out and the cover being a keyboard is pretty neat. I'm constantly finding myself wanting a tablet nowadays but I know how rarely I would use it. Especially since my house still does not have wi-fi. However I think tablets are really neat for people with kids. My cousin has some little ones crawling around and it's nice to be able to have that thing anywhere in the house and to have it be so easy to move with/check while you are doing kid stuff.

Apparently an employee at an Apple store told a woman that he was unable to sell her an iPad after he overheard her speaking Farsi to her uncle and asked her what language it was and she replied with "Farsi, I'm from Iran." He came back with "I just can't sell this to you, our countries have bad relations."

It sounds like this has happened multiple times and a manager told showed one of the people denied the purchase of an Apple product a line in their policy that states "The exportation, sale or supply from the U.S. to Iran of any Apple goods is strictly prohibited without authorization by the U.S. government." WHAT? Exportation? Most of these people are US citizens and even if the aren't the line says to Iran not to people of Iranian decent. That's some pretty serious racial profiling.

If you want to be technical didn't Picard introduce the PADD 300+ years from now?

HA! True. Picard should be at the end of that list using the newest iPad just called the PADD.

obviously, apple is going to release its new iphone this week, and it made me realize that they have done something else that i can't stand in the tech world. they have made it now that every company that carts out its new phone/tablet/computer has to have this giant "press conference" bullshit where these guys stand on stage holding their new product and collectively beat off to it. its pretty fucking disgusting.

it is how they created their rabid, brand loyal fanbase. hype. lots and lots of hype. they may have been the original hype train engineers.

i mean its disgusting when you think about it.

i came to this conclusion when watching microsoft's conference for Surface and google's for the nexus 7. i mean they were pracitaclly beating off on stage over these things.

Yeah. The invention of the iphone definitely made it worse. They always had grand standing at the various conferences and shit. But now they all seem to perform this ridiculous circlejerk on every new piece of tech.

But you know what.. you want to blame someone? Blame the people. The people of this miserable fukin planet, who are so eager to lap up the bullshit someone feeds to them. If they weren't so stupid, then the world would not be full of dumb shit like this. I for one, am fucking tired of it. That collision on Jupiter gives me hope we won't have to deal with it much longer.

Irate is on a tear again....keep it going!
