They say the Digic5 is 17 times as powerful as the Digic4? There's still no reason why the mkIII can only manage 6fps when the 7D manages 8. Sure, the 7D is dual processor but if the Digic5 is as big a step up as they say, why not give the mkIII a wide data bus like the 7D and get those fps higher? Also, for the

"Correct me if I am wrong, but the 7D also comes to party with Dual Digic 4s does it not?" It does indeed. 8fps of framey goodness.

You said you rarely use more than a couple of 16Gb cards at a time. Since a 16Gb card costs about $25, are you saying you use two at a time but somehow own 40 of them?

Not really. The 360 is based on the PowerPC architecture and the reason porting games between 360 and PC is easy is because of the shared development tools for both platforms.

Wrong.

I wish to God you were in charge of Windows 8 instead of the muppet who is already.

Once again, $7k camera and you're complaining about $50 worth or cards being useless? Listen to yourself.

Just because Google bought them doesn't mean they're not separate legal entities. I take no interest in Google's finances or business transactions, but it's not a certainty that they're not separate from each other.

You know, I'm not even going to finish reading that. Don't like my opinions? Then just ignore them like I'm going with you.

If you're going to spend the cash on a 1D Pro X, what difference does it make if you have to switch from SD to CF? 16Gb CF cards cost nothing compared to the cost of the camera body. Who the f**k is going to be put off putting down $7k on a camera because it obsoletes their $50 worth of memory cards and they have to

I would say constantly changing cards increases the chance of failure.

Ridiculous? By not wishing to use something or like it? How the fuck is not wishing to use something also "closed-minded to change"? I don't like it. I'd be perfectly willing to accept Metro if I thought it was progress, but I don't. This is change for the sake of it and it's terrible execution of a terrible idea. I

As a developer who uses the word dozens if not hundreds of time a day, I use the word app, because it's easier and quicker. Just like the police or army use 'intel', 'ID' or 'ammo'. Just like the reason why acronyms exist. You're free to use the full word if you wish, but there's a perfectly good reason why others

Well, for one thing, when I was trying to get the bullshit 'Xbox live companion' to work, it told me to change some windows settings and then restart the app. Could I work out how to close or restart the app without googling it? Could I f**k. If you see the sort of questions that people are having to ask online, it pro

"It's a good, solid upgrade in almost every way." Yeah, almost. Give me a version where I never have to look at Metro under any circumstances and I'll happily install it full time.

"2) The standard desktop is still there." Well, no. Without a start menu, it's not the standard desktop. I haven't even worked out how to view the old control panel yet. I know it's there, because the bullshit language settings in the Metro UI take you there, how the fuck you launch it yourself is beyond me.

What you're essentially saying is there should be a legacy version for desktops and a metro version for tablets. That is exactly what they should have done and it blows my mind that they're going down the fucked up route of trying to find a UI that works for both. How hard would it have been to have a Windows 8 Metro

No, I think the main reason is going to be the cost and lack of productivity while teaching existing users how to work with the new UI. This is essentially relearning how to use the OS and I don't see many, if any, corporations moving to Windows 8. It offers corporate users no benefits and plenty of disadvantages. I

I couldn't possibly disagree more than this is beautifully designed for desktops. It's not. The interface we're all used to is much more suited. It's not even beautifully designed as a UI in general. It's a disjointed, frustrating mess. If you've spent any time with it, then maybe you're question too whether MS has

I honestly don't see what's wrong with the interface we already have with Windows 7. All my most used apps are pinned to the task bar. The apps I was relatively frequently have shortcuts on the desktop and the rest are right there with a couple of clicks in the old Start Menu if I need them. I've never seen this as
