yeah i agree with you...i think it does come down to bitch and moan but still give the company your money. Which is why companies feel they can get away with anything with the right kind of advertising and marketing and PR. I do think this though would have been a great chance for MS to really take the lead from sony…

yep i'm sure there are people to whom none of these things are issues. Then there are those to whom there are only one or two of these that are problems. some will give in and say these issues don't matter. Others will hold their ground.

I know we like to lump non-hardcore tech crowd users as the average consumer that doesn't know much and takes the "oohhh shiny" approach. But i think this is rapidly changing if not already. Anybody in the 15-45 generation average consumer category seems a lot more informed now about what they buy and the specs that…

In this case I think the "hard-core fanboys" might just be kids who don't have to worry so much about their money since its their parents doing the buying. And some stubborn people outside that demographic. I'm not a serious gamer, and i've never ever sold any of my games to a used store. And i'm very tech-savvy. Yet…

MS just got too cocky, being one of two major "serious-gamer" consoles on the market right now. it figures hey consumers are locked in, whats the worse that could happen. and they wouldn't be wrong from looking at recent trends of consumer myopia.

i must be the only one who really only cares about what the next gen consoles look like!

I dont know if what i'll describe is normal, but i fall somewhere in the middle. I actually like the idea of meeting new people. I get along with most people as long as theyre not too single dimensioned, i like talking to people. But i always have issues going to places by myself to do the meeting bit. Is that the…

Someone more knowledgable might correct me, but for 2.0 or 2.1 systems you are better off with a dedicated stereo amp, which does not have hdmi. Jdmi is mostly for 5.1 and up speakers, hk etc just wont cut it if you want ti build a great sounding stereo system...and if youre buying speakers in this price range im…

I own a pair of b&w 684's combined with a nad c362 integrated amp, connected with a devilsound dac to my mac mini. Stunning sound. And i dont even have a record player or a dedicated cd player attached to it that would make the sound even better.

So ive still got 2 gmail services set up on my iphone (back from the day of iphone 3g). One is with this google sync method for calendar, and the other is gmail exchange for contacts and mail. For some reason one of the fields, notes i think, only appears in one but not the other so ive never taken the risk of…

Can anyone comment about the acurracy of this? One tanker load seems a bit teensy to me. Being the age of cyber-everything its ofciurse tough to guage sizes, but id figured the answer would be more like "the size of x city".

For a budget phone thats actually pretty decent specs! Ofcourse outdated by todays quad core 2 gb ram sets but still nothing to scoff at. From what i heat winpho is a pretty efficient system so these specs should be retty decent performance.

Let me guess you live in a top 5 metropolitan city in the US and dont travel much out of the country.

yep youve really clarified whose trash and scum. enjoy the rest of your trailerpark life.

Lol true. Ill be chuckling at your comment all day now.

And then people wonder why theres so much resentment againt north americans in the rest of the world.

hahahaha i was just going to write a comment with exactly those 3 points. The minute i read will.i.am anywhere my hate meter already maxes out without any bloody reason at all. and i don't know why. And youre absolutely right it not like he's done anything "wrong" per se he's just an idiot.

i'm glad you gave me an explanation before i posted an "uhhh i dont understand why this is a word" comment and got mocked by people.

Just downloaded the newly released ios nokia maps. Where i am right now google shows a whole city with all the tiny streets and the intricate web of roads and highways. On nokia maps? 5 lines representing the main middle road a "ring road" and a highway. Its laughable. And im talking a city of a million people.

Sorry didnt want to stereotype at all, and of course i realize its mostly a minority, or rather a large minority, that does have a narrow scope of the rest of the world outside north america. I just didnt want to say "gizmodo bloggers" for fear of being banned or something.
