at least you can ics for galaxy s..

this sucks. was waiting for that update.

I cry foul now too.

quite simply – JUST MAKE IT WORK. you would think the point of the beta test would have been to gather data to fix it, not to drop development when it wasn’t good enough. point of a beta test just isn’t to try if it’s feasible – that should have been decided way, way much earlier, if they had figured out that they can’t make the offending api’s work right you would think that they had done that way, way much earlier than after public beta. now they just built hype and then at the last second.. bam.

if some games stopped working – make the update optional. and update the games then. ship double api’s, whatever.

yes, I got a play – and yes, ics doesn’t bring that much to the table on it really, but I wouldn’t have minded having another ics device around .

(personally if I had to make a quick guess, it’s because there’s so little space on the built in memory)

and don’t the games break on other s-e’s?

having the other screens showing the desktop isn’t really solving anything. it’s logical, quick and dirty – still, it’s just about good solution as one can get if you stick to current metro on the one screen(because the designers decided to cut corners and put literally no thought or effort at all to the thought “what if someone uses this on a regular multi monitor workstation?”). as such the whole win8 feels like it was designed on a 10" tablet for a 10" tablet.

sure.. but what if you just reimplemented the API?
that’s probably what they mean that it was compiled in full compliance of the rules.

sure.. but what if you just reimplemented the API?
that’s probably what they mean that it was compiled in full compliance of the rules.in that case it’s just apple banhammering for inching on their turf(they want to sell you a device). in that case it’s also a textbook example of why walled garden sucks a**.

..well, for the development talent obviously.

that’s the one thing opera has – super good multiple mobile os experience and super good html/js experience. if fb’s looking for some devs it’s a no brainer. motivating them though to work for fb.. I guess they might be able to pull it off.

yeah so it’s as impressive as.. go pro? I watched the video wanting to see a virtual horizon overlayed or something at least.

I could think of a bunch of reasons for professional ms users to legimately send i386 folder files over skydrive..

their expenses were way, way, way too much for the actual product.

with stupidity.

also, why should the game developer not go under and reform if they can get out of paying 75 million loan with that. their assets could be reshuffled to a new corporation – not that those assets are worth that much. amalurs fail is that it’s nothing unique – the assets are money bought generic crap fantasy.

why should microsoft be doing that? they sure as f are doing everything they can to push metro, crippling of start button, heavy pushing of metro and win8 to dev partners etc. they’re not even asking if it’s a good fit for your app or your customers workflow – they’re pushing it regardless. even if you were doing a commercial, highly specific 3d modelling program they would recommend you to use metro. it’s just metro metro metro metro. need a controls system for a nuclear plant with multiple monitors and 20 windows showing at all times? go metro, nevermind if it can’t do what you need thats what their developer sales force is trimmed for right now.

it’s a clear company wide strategy, so that windowsRT devices would have programs too. but they’re really alienating their regular desktop devs and users with this strategy of all or nothing. it remains to be seen if it’s going to be a mega fail or not. shame really since win8 internals on win7 shell would be even better than what win7 is(I’m aware of classic shell etc..). they see metro also as their way to get to taxing sw devs like apple is with their appstore, thus pushing it.

btw if you’re not an established company, chances are you can get free dev licenses from microsoft fairly easily – apphub gift codes too. so I wouldn’t worry about the cost in money too much, it’s the same as ever. if you’re an established company who cares about 200-500 bucks?

but what’s worrying is that some people really seem to think that we’d run visual studio 2014 in metro. BLECHH. so it’s not “just yet” for all programs, some programs you will never want to go metro – metro is not a better alternative ui for everything so why should everything transition to it eventually? and if you spice up metro with multiple overlapping windows etc it’s just traditional desktop once again. and let me tell you using a dos IDE for development sucked big time!

“brains in a jar and teleportation” is just nonsense.

wont boost – but pc’s will still be a big big market.

7 seconds isn’t that impossible with ssd + win7 either though.

doesn’t sound too good that the guy is implying that old school bios was the part that handled windows boot options though… makes the whole fast boot hubbub here sound like empty hype.

well, you do, apparently. then you bitch that you didn’t have enough money to hire even more.

that’s almost 400 people working on a title. that’s way too much, hardly any development scales like that unless you have 350 people who are all working on a single texture fulltime. and that’s just stupid.

you’d be amazed how many companies of any kind are partially taxpayer backed. Especially tech and gaming.

funny considering you could run the macpaint in them, without jailbreaking(with an emulator apple would ban from it’s store).

I guess you’re not writing a backup solution, AV, 3rd party terminal or any such app. what’s wrong with old school file permissions?

they don’t have a cap for their own services. this is mainly the point.

it matters little how technically it happens, point is, it happens. it doesn’t matter that they you pay extra to have this “extra” service.

it’s a textbook example of isp shitting on net neutrality to promote their own in-house services and exactly what fcc told them not to do.

by your definition any break in net neutrality could be argued to be “not internet”.

the real point is that they make netflix less usable by counting it on download caps while their own IP service isn’t. it’s Exactly what net neutrality is about – about your isp not negotiating exclusive deals with their own or 3rd party services to make those services more feasible to use rather than some other service. it’s exactly what they have done.

xfinity itself is an internet service too. it doesn’t matter how you arrange your preferred internet video service to be more feasible to use than competitors, it’s still shitting on net neutrality and in comcasts case their fcc agreement.

the point is that because they’re doing this, there’s no incentive for them to up the bandwidth on your internet service – quite the opposite, the less you can use it the more you’ll use their walled garden services.

you go to great lengths to defend why their walled garden is cheaper for them to run though.

the whole point for the cap to exist is for promoting their “premium” services. it’s 3rd rate internet service to have those caps, really.

it’s easy enough to deny that.

ipod: the market would have gone to archos, creative & etc. we could probably have had cheaper devices earlier too if apple hadn’t hoarded all manufacturing from some parts manufacturers.

capacitive touchscreens: we would have them. possibly would have had them years before, even embedded in keyboards, if apple hadn’t been around(look it up where they bought the tech/patents on it they have).

imac.. you seriously think you wouldn’t have all-in-one pc’s without it? being that those things have existed for a looooong time now.

imac.. you seriously think you wouldn’t have all-in-one pc’s without it? being that those things have existed for a looooong time now.the only thing we wouldn’t have without them would be osx. we’d possibly even have beos without them, which was actually a much nicer os(haiku etc are so niche they don’t really count).

some other s60’s had been sold as well, from early s60 days.

besides, s60 is belle and belle is s60, just branding doesn’t change the direct legacy of code.

well, that’s because pentile has a lower pixel density, or rather skips data from some pixels from being displayed. that is the real problem, not the extra one color element but lacking of them. so you’d need a 900p or something pentile display to display all the pixels of 720p, which wouldn’t be so bad.

small time ghosting does happen.

it doesn’t stay too long, but it happens (got a 25.5" samsung.. keep some program on for 12 hours and there’s some ghosting for a while from toolbars, the next day it’s gone though.)

there’s plenty of confusion. just look at the comments on many blogs. plenty of confusion surrounding windows 8 in general, it’s a botched pr effort on part of microsoft – partly because own employees seem confused too.

it’s sad that windows 8 on arm is less functional from dev perspective than 100$ windows ce laptops from china.

there’s no chassis spec. there’s the reality that almost none of the apps support landscape, which is why venue pro is what it is. chassis is just plastics anyways. that you can use a limited number of socs is very relevant though to that there’s not that wide driver support developed for it – or rather, ms doesn’t allow shipping such devices.

it’s not hard to make most of the sw update.

but when the carrier adds specific rules about what the SW shouldn’t be able to do then it becomes a problem :). for example if you can wifi tether that is a problem for at&t and they need to find a way to detect it before they “can” roll the update out. and at&t needs to renegotiate sw customization deals for that stuff in order to start even developing the update rollout for their devices, so you have 6-12 months delays for getting a cut release – sweet eh??

in that perspective it’s all googles fault.

yeah the pics in that size and lighting are pretty much the same as from a 6630( in bright daylight you could do water splash timefreezes with it..).

i want my 808 already too!

it wasn’t bigger than any other touchscreen smartphone.. fun fact, a nokia 5 years prior had the same size screen AND a higher dpi

what they (apple)did do, was to make a phone on when capacitive ts controllers hit the market.

why they would’ve tacked on much more on it I don’t know – exactly because it would sell like hotcakes simply because it’s the galaxy 3 – they could get practically every operator onboard with just that title. so if they have something groundbreaking they would experiment with it in another line, in a note II or whatever.

it’s just the techblogs which jumped on board the hype train so easily, expecting that it would be much more groundbreaking. quadcore is nice though, they would’ve sold almost the exact same amount without it. having a + screen without pentile would have been something to make it in practical terms better than the nexus and that’s where they dropped the ball.
