Actually movies usually are x264/h264 video with DTS/AC3 audio

Great idea, too bad YIFY torrents are always very compressed and quality is far from the real scene releases.

Why do you encourage Apple by buying stuff there?

Lightning scare children, the sky is blue, etc.. Seriously, is this news? Who didn't know this?

DirectX10 / 11 is still better than OpenGL

I know CryEngine used intensively DirectX 11 features and that OpenGL is not as advanced for shaders, so I guess they had to cut into some neat features?

Linux is not ready for gaming, Valve is making a huge mistake. Developers will try and encounter tons of problems like that and most will abandon the port project. Just going from DirectX to OpenGL is a lot of hard work for nothing from a graphic programmer stand point.

No, the purpose of DirectX is to make the best graphics API available so that developers use it, and it's doing an awesome job at it. The fact that is not cross-platform is only because Microsoft don't see any advantages at working for free and doing it, why would they?

You are the naive one in this situation. Just because it look like a good opportunity to hate Microsoft doesn't mean that you are right.

LOL! no... it don't.

Your post prove that you got out of computer graphics long ago, because it's quite ignorant. The game changed a lot since you checked it, and no, it's not just polygons and shading anymore, or else games would look like total shit like that 2000's era.

Post here if you are an asshole who don't know the hell what you are saying I guess. Go Microsoft, don't listen to these fuckers.

It was necessary evil to be able to publish new video driver model architecture with neat features, get over it.

Slashdot is filled with haters, but just to do the inverse I'm really happy about this. DirectX always been top-notch, high-tech and the easiest API to work with for developers along with the best performance from shaders (yeah I know OpenGL have more brute draw calls per sec). This will push graphic technology forward. I'm very eager to see it, and I'm happy that Microsoft is still going because ATI Mantle was limited to a single vendor and couldn't succeed for this only reason.

I already have that, it's called a Bluetooth adapter, and it works with ALL brands of phone. Fuck Apple.
