yeah i realized that after ai read the article. I guess i'm really out of touch with spec sheets. I've gotten too used to the "hey NEW macbook/iphone/ipad = better = must buy" so i don't look at specs anymore beyond screen resolution.

in all honesty i was just being a bit bitter for not having this awesome feature! I actually do think apple products hold up ALOT better than windows pc's when it comes to software upgrades. My dad has a white macbook pro from 2006. I have a macbook pro from 2010. Both run super smooth. he can't upgrade to ML I can…

true that. just read the source article too and it specifically says "encoding". thanks.

what is this party mode and how do you use it? Just got a nexus s as a backup phone and its on jb. How do i use said party mode? seems an awesme feature!

working for me within gmail chat app.

Initially thought this was similar to ios6's album sharing featuring. But seems different enough. The facebook integration not just for login purposes but to match metadata is actually very interesting since i'm guessing everyhting is automatic, but as someone that doesn't use facebook anymore i guess i'm out.

i thought h264 gpu rendering has been showing up on ati/nvidia macbook gpu's for ages now?? i thought gpu h264 rendering was like a standard feature for years and years ago. Haven't been a spec junkie for ages now so i might be outdated but i coulda sworn this feature has been there for atleast 4-5 years now in…

Has anybody tried these earplane things? I take some very lomg flights and fly very frequently and dont need any of these other things, the one thing that does drive me bonkers though is the ear pressure issue. So glad theres something for them everytime im on a flught i promise myself ill find a solution but…

100% agree with apple. Unfortunately despite samsung blatantly getting on the rectangular minimal buttons phone bandwagon, its one of those things thats very difficult to actually prve and win in court. Or rather to have the judge pass judgment on something like this. Its like saying whoever made the first tv can sue…

iphone or some other smartphone. basically covers all the basic necessities...phone, email, sms, internet, maps, minor minor document edits if you must for work, and most importantly portability and not weighing you down. That is if you plan on being out and about a lot. But if you're going to be spending a lot of…

interesting to see a rednecks opinion on this. Time to go back and learn that the square block will never ever fit in the circular or triangular space. moron.

The US as far as i know has a horrible history of gun control not only internally, but especially in other countries it tends to fight in. From what i hear when the fightings done its too expensive to really haul back all the cheaper equipment (guns, mines, grenades, etc) so it basically leaves piles and piles of…

"America stopped testing atomic bombs in 1992, but we can only hope the perverted schoolboy enthusiasm for nukes died sooner—and stays that way"

the American government already has a serious black eye about A LOT of things. but when has it stopped then from making the decisions they do or from changing or to actually ya know make sure they avoid any and all conflicts of interest not in the best interest of the people of america? They do what they do because…

Sadly not every place has super high speed internet for streaming. A lot of places in asia i travel to will have high speed dsl or cable, but the speeds are generally les than 100-200 kb/s and also very vRiable so stremaing is not a good option. My 8tb 4 drive external is used to store a lot of 1080p movies in foreign…

i keep thinking i'm going to try bing, but never intentionally end up using it. The once in a while that i'm at a new browser which might be preconfigured to use bing search, it really strikes me that that search results are very different than waht i tend to see on google. WIth goog i've managed to somehow figure out…

While canada is generally bad with phone plans, i think we have good deals on data. I have a 6gb plan for 30$ per month, but i actually find it hard to even get to use a couple of hundred megs a month. I'm a very heavy user of my iphone and social websites, googling, maps, whatsapp, viber (voip - for foreign…

well i'll have to give the native notifications a try then. My battery seems to be very inconsistent, sometimes i'll be at 50% by afternoon, other times i'll be 80% till evening, and i know theres always some background app or process thats causing this buggery. So i've been loathe to overtax my battery and run out of…

So im curious how is it that youre implying this uses less battery than the native app? Wouldnt this be less reliable if somehow it was running intermittetntly and pollijg your location at intervals rather than constantly on. Are you guys guessing or is it something thats specifcally a a feature of this app somehow?…

woz you're the best (if you're the real woz).
