I agree. For me it feels very unpleasant to watch 3D. It completely ruined Avatar for me.
It looks nice and kinda cool. Good concept. I see designers and hipsters as a good target group for this. For us that use the computer for a lot of typing, I don't think a touch keyboard will do the job. I also imagine the horror of that speaker/power-supply entangled in the cable mess under my table. Overall I think it's a fun concept, I wouldn't buy it, but I know people who would.
Seriously? That's so 2008.
If I had to choose an ultimate machine to use on the go, it would be a netbook with touchscreen. Then you have the keyboard, and you don't have to fiddle about on that microscopic touchpad those things usually have.
Fire photon torpedoes!
I wonder if the DHS has ever heard about http://video.google.com/ or youtube... They link to millions of videos that infringe copyright.
Seriously though, shouldn't the DHS be out doing their actual job (providing homeland security) instead of moonlighting for the entertainment industry?
Oh, so that's why I've been getting all those penis enlargement spam mails? The spammer is a lawyer, aka a big dick.
No, that's Kill "Bill"! Which is William.
The idea of the article seems to be that "trolls" always are people that can be reasoned with. A few years back I used to moderate on a casual all-purpose help forum, where we got our fair share of trolls. The trolling was everything from fake complaints/problems, like fatal-butt-illness and wanting to commit suicide to posting pictures of gay sex (seems like a very popular subject for trolls) and mutilated corpses. Now THAT is trolling... and how do you talk those people down?
Ok, I agree that some of the trolls could have been converted, but that would mean we would have to spend 57 hours a day talking to people without real problems, except for a major brain dysfunction (for which we lacked the proper credentials to diagnose and treat). If someone trolled, we banned or wiped the account, if they came back on a new account we blocked the IP (cut a few schools off once in a while.. goodtimes), if they came back using a proxy site, we banned that IP. Usually they would give up within 10 minutes. Ban, wipe and block... sounds like something out of Karate Kid
The CEO also left a while ago after some scandal and got a golden handshake... more than 1½ million dollars worth. That leaves a lot of people like me angry at that this is the shit we pay a "media license" for.
I live in Denmark, and I pay a TV license because I own a computer. Around $400 a year.
Apparently, since the TV network is a "public service", they can charge me, because MAYBE I might go on their website and look at their stream, which isn't even HD. Greed in high places always manages to fuck everyone over in the end... I guess that's the lesson learned.
If I had those $400 extra a year, maybe I could afford a TV set.
Good for you Sony. Don't listen to them. You just go on digging that hole.
I originally chose Gnome because it was an interface I liked and felt at home in. I've felt all along that gnome-shell was kinda like the Gnome team giving me the finger, saying that what I liked in Gnome 2.xx was wrong and I shouldn't like it because I'm an idiot and shouldn't be allowed to think for myself.
For me this is a case of change for the sake of change. It's not about improving design/usability. It's about changing stuff that wasn't broken and - in my case - ruin the user experience.
I think they should leave Gnome as it is and focus on making THAT interface smoother, and the whole gnome-shell crap could be called something else... like crap-sprinkled-with-glitter-wm. CSWGWM for short... now isn't that catchy?
Somebody ought to cross ball point pens with coat hangers so that the pens will multiply instead of disappear.
