Comment Re:The crap continues... (Score 1) 42

Sorry to burst your bubble AC, but the issues above are all design or engineering flaws. Given the large amount of money Apple charges for its products, they should not be riddled with these kinds of issues. Seems like you are an Apple guy as you call me stupid, yet people keep buying expensive, poorly designed products from Crapple.

I've had 4 Samsung work phones and none of them had any hardware issues. Yes the Note 7 was a terribly designed product, but Samsung stepped up to the plate, gave their mea culpa and ensured there phones were better in the future. Apple: "Let's make everything more shiiiiiiiiiiiiny! We shall also make an industrial sized cheeze grater and a $1000 dollar monitor stand! Buy our stuff fanboys!"

Unless it has improved dramatically, the Windows 10 store is pants. It took me 5 or 6 tries to get Gears of 4 war to install around launch. It would download 70GB of the game, then delete it all and restart again. Or it would stall out during install and I would manually have to restart it.

The Xbox team is supposed to be taking over the store, probably so they can make large game installations actually work. Hopefully they can fix it, but AFAIK it is still hot garbage. I haven't tried installing any games lately, so perhaps they have improved it, somewhat.

Comment HTC is terrible, doesn't care about security (Score 1) 20

I bought a U11 in fall of 2017, right around that time they released the Oreo update. Great, new OS version!

They have updated my phone's security updates ONCE since then. I'm currently on June 1, 2018 security updates. Thanks for caring about our security HTC, such a "great" company.

They have stated Pie is coming in "Q2", which I have a hard time believing. Even if they do update my phone to Pie, will they give us frequent security updates? Probably not, so they should just quit making phones.

"Today, Google has shown with its Chrome OS that most of us can pretty much do anything we need to do on a computer with just a web browser." Uh no, Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols.

"If you want a "real" PC, your choices are going to be Linux or macOS." I think the author drank way too much Google and Microsoft Kool-Aid before writing this article. Or incurred some form of head trauma. Say the company you work at suddenly loses their internet connection when using these "web" services, no one can do any work. Sounds like a great plan Steven.

Apple would never screw you over, no waaaaaaay. They are the paragon of playing nice, no back stabbing, stealing other companies IP, etc. Greeeeeeeeeeeeeat company!

Apple: "Thanks Mark, we'll give you 0.000000000001 cents everytime reads one of your articles on our news feed! You are welcome dear content creating friend!"

I'm personally looking forward to: Surviving Squalor-mart Collectors Edition

It comes with Skeeter the meth head doll who cooks meth in the sporting goods section, a coupon for $5 off whatever you want in a real world Squalor-mart, a Squalor-mart trucker hat and you can play as Skeeter in the game. SOLD!

Comment Playstation is "For the Players*" (Score 1) 20

*Except when Sony doesn't want it to be. Speaking of Sony and Nintendo, hopefully they jump on the accessibility bandwagon now that Microsoft has set the bar with their Adaptive Controller.

Saw on Facebook that a friends son is using one now. Great that he can more easily play games with family and friends. :)

It seems to me you have not played this game. The "Cyborg" arm woman is only in the story mode (I'm guessing as I haven't played any of the single player story mode).

There is definitely none of that in multiplayer which I have played a lot of, which to me and most others is the primary reason for playing a BF game. Also, the arm is clearly a very rudimentary implementation, so I don't think it qualifies as making her a Cyborg. lol
