Comment Post-PC world? (Score 3, Insightful) 1052

What kills me is that people are going to eat that shit up. They don't realize that they hold a PC in their hand which just so happens to have a phone app. My first computer had an AMD k6-2 300mhz processor (I'm 22, see UID), and I was astounded when I realized my OG Droid had double the compute power. It only took a decade for that to go from being the latest and greatest to being in the palm of your hand being used for fart apps. Tegra games already rival the current-gen consoles in terms of graphics.

PCs aren't dead, they're better than they ever have been before.

In other news, Steve Jobs shits his grave knowing his precious screens are used to display black bars.

Comment Is there a difference? (Score 1) 515

I got my first computer at the age of 8 when my disabled mother received her back pay. It had an AMD k6-2, 64mb ram, and a 6gb hard drive, which honestly wasn't too shabby for 1998. My first PC game was Independence War, a space sim which you could mod if you had some knowledge of coding. So I kind of picked it up, and playing video games led me to go to school now for Computer Science to learn how to make the damn things.

It's not all bad.
