Comment Re:Awesome, I shall buy one in a year (Score 1) 114

Tom's hardware has the latest Jan update for graphics comparisons. The R7 260x is best bang for buck but the 750ti is not quite as good value but as you don't like ATI it may be a better choice. All really comes down to why you are upgrading and what you play though.

yes, without a doubt, though the damage is probably already done as it is hard to recover such a PR mess. Personally the issue for me is purely the camera, we have enough invasions of privacy without inviting new ones into our lives. I don't want to be in a restaurant, shop or even in public with people wearing google glass as I object to being recorded by others where it isn't strictly necessary, especially people that don't seem to have any social etiquette with regards to the rights of others.

Yes that much is obvious, but the "marketing" video clearly presents objects as solid, not transparent.

It doesn't seem obvious to you as you don't seem to understand the concept. you are looking at a screen, if they choose to place an object on that screen in your vision it can appear transparent or completely solid, depends completely on what they wish to do with it, either way it is completely irrelevant whether the environment is bright or dark as the object is on the screen.

Certainly looks a lot more interesting and viable than google glass. Once google pushed the wear it anywhere video camera recording what everyone is doing it became socially a dead product. Lets wait and see if MS can productize it without making the idiotic mistakes of google that led to the highly deserved coining of the word glasshole.

Comment Re:End of support, not "end of life". (Score 1) 156

Software end of life usually comes in the form of old hardware dying and no one willing to invest money to write drivers for old software so yeah it does have an end of life, fixing new vulnerabilities is NOT inexpensive either. The human resources of having adequately trained and available devs, support engineers and testers alone runs into the millions.

probably because Zoe Quinn supposedly unfairly profited from the corruption. a good review or mention of your product from journalists can seriously help your sales. corrupt journalism is a blight on the industry, those willing to engage those journalists in corruption are just as bad and Zoe is supposed a prime example of that (won't pretend to know if it is true or not), her role became exacerbated by her lack of grace and social skills in dealing with this in a constantly escalating war of words from arsehats on both sides of the fence.

She personifies grace under pressure.

really? I would have said she personifies the exact opposite and displays a heap of ignorance in dealing people socially, her responses to some of the attacks on her are what helped escalate the situation. She doesn't seem to understand social media at all or how to handle it.

Comment Re:In inevitable questions of why... (Score 1) 165

why not? while it is cool I can think of a lot of why not's for this particular device. e.g. walking off with someones mouse is far too easy, a mouse is a constantly moving item that gets knocked, sits next to your can of coke or cup of hot coffee, it becomes awkward for usb and peripheral connections and would need to be farely low powered otherwise the heat of the device plus the warm hand is going to make a rather uncomfortable device. personally I go for small PC's that I can attach to the back of the monitor, but the form factor options available now make it very interesting. I really like the small devices and I have everything from raspberry Pi's, NUC's and some Lenovo tiny PC's (definitely form factors for different performance needs). Be interested to see what else people come up with for device ideas.

you would be amazed at what people will make formal complaints about. I shit you not we had people submit formal complaints to our organisation over some error messages where we used a few names from greek mythology as they considered it blasphemous that we were using religious icons that did not represent their beliefs. We also received complaints about error number 666 and various other items. Their are so many retards in this world just looking for a reason to feel victimised or insulted, I am surprised some of them have time for anything else in their lives.

You are more likely to be accidently or intentionally shot in the US than be a victim of a terrorist. over 10,000 people are shot each year in the US. you are hundreds if not thousands of times more likely to be killed in a car accident. you are more likely to win the lotto. Yet you would happily trade your freedom to prevent that 1 in a couple of hundred million chance of dying? the gun lobby and cars are infinitely more dangerous to your young daughter
