Sketch (OSX only) is actually a really nice vector software. It's far more sensible to use than Illustrator yet offers many of the same options. Sure, Illustrator's got some special tools but it's basic vector drawing tools are just plain horrible and even more so after using Sketch.…

IE9 still lacks support for many technologies that have been standard in Firefox and Chrome for many versions. Things like the file API etc.

They're fantastic for running, martial arts, working out etc physical activities. But they should never be worn for any other reason. At least that guy was doing handsprings so sweatpants and toeshoes are proper attire for that kind of activity.

This actually looks really good and intuitive. The graphics in the email app look a bit crap but otherwise it looks very nice and functionality is very sensible - nice to see something actually use all those drag and swipe things properly.

So in short: There is no point having 4K resolutions on phones, but definitely worth having enough horsepower to be able to view 4K content when outputting to a TV. Showing the same content on the phone it would just have to downscale it to the phone resolution.

I still feel like the Type C/F is the best overall plug. Can be inserted two ways (allowing for angled cords without blocking a socket underneath), is easy and safe to remove and plug in due to the round pins and generally stays in the socket.

Exactly. But unfortunately display tech doesn't improve each year all that much plus the current stuff looks stunning as it is so manufacturers would have a hard time selling a new one.

I completely agree about iOS being absolutely shit for customization. I don't want things like completely different icon sets or whatnot but I do want to choose which app to open things in and I do want a central place for all my files. I also would like being able to choose a browser other than Safari and not be left…

Considering the 802.11n class WIFI is still a lot slower than wired, having faster WIFI would simply put it on the same level. That's a good thing as then you cold ditch the cable for many things. For example I can't stream 1080p video from my computer to my PS3 with my 802.11n WIFI (purely on the local network)…

This just means you need to try to get the IT department on with the program. The typical excuse for IE6 is that company web apps only work on that but surely there are no IE8 only web apps? The IT department could simply replace IE8 with FF or Chrome on users' desktops and tell them to use that instead. Or just offer…

Actually there is a lot of wrong with the pricing of Xbox/PS3/PC games. PC games are generally anything from 20-40 euros while at the same time the Xbox version of the same game can cost 60. That makes absolutely no sense for the consumer.

Yes it is not a viable option for all programs but certainly for many. The fact that the "demo" version is its separate app just adds clutter to the store. At least they could combine the product pages so there's the "buy" button and alongside it "try". Clicking buy would simply replace the demo version with the full…

It asks for a password every time you purchase an app so the parent's credit card could be used but since the kids don't have the password they would just have to pester their parents to buy them an app or game.

No, the "legacy shit" I was talking about was how Win XP/95 era UI keeps creeping up from some tools and how some things (like Computer Management or the advanced Windows Firewall controls) are truly awful user interfaces that don't fit the overall UI in any way. Likewise really old icons are still here and there.

Apart from try-before-you buy (which is often not possible thanks to no "lite" version being offered) I've never understood why people bother pirating iOS apps. Most cost an euro or two, the more expensive ones are still typically under 10. If you can afford an Apple phone or tablet, you sure as hell can afford the…

Exactly, it will be Win 8.5. Similar to how Mac OSX 10.8 is really just a refined 10.7. MS can sell it for cheap and provide incremental updates that will make the OS better to use without taking 3 years for all that to happen.

I'm guessing it's mostly because 3G/4G have better call quality and they've deemed the battery life hit isn't that huge.

Agreed. I really like the 27" iMac I have at work but for home I really would like a much better graphics card. Of course they tend to put out a lot of heat so it might not be feasible even in the old iMac enclosure. That said, they could at least use one of the mid range desktop GPUs as those still trounce mobile…

I guess they wanted some sort of single password - multiple email accounts setup. However, I don't think that should require passwords being saved on a remote server. Not to mention it isn't really an e-mail app's job to keep your account passwords in line.

They look like they would be somewhat uncomfortable, sitting on top of your ears instead of surrounding them.
