Comment Re:name names? (Score 1) 360

Feist is on her fourth album, and it was released on Interscope/Polydor. Hardly fits the description of a Canadaian artist's second album released on an indie label. In fact I can't find anything fitting that description on the iTunes chart. The fact that the poster didn't name the artist makes me suspect they are full of shit.

Why not try the blind test and find out for yourself? If it's too tiring for you, you can always break it into separate sessions. There's no reason for your ears or your temporal lobe to get tired after listening to music samples for 5 minutes. By the way, your friend's MP3 player could well have been playing Xin-encoded 128kbps MP3s - that's not what we are talking about here. Try comparing a decent lossy encode to the equivalent FLAC. Unless of course, you want to carry on with the self-delusion that you are capable of hearing a percepitble difference where countless others have tried and failed. That's fine, kid yourself if it makes you feel better, but there's no need to come on here and spout ill-informed nonsense.

But I have a different show-stopper for Samsung Galaxy S: its $600 price tag (source: Google Product Search), compared to $200 for an iPod touch.

Dude, you're comparing a smartphone to an MP3 player. Apples and oranges, so to speak.

The benefit is: If it crashes, you can do something about it.

Sure. And how often have you re-written and recompiled an open source graphics driver? In fact, how often have you even bothered to look at the source?

For the vast majority of users, a driver that just works is preferable to a an open-source mess of a driver that has awful performance
