get it, yes, yes, yes, you're a UK based company, us mainland euroweenies have no right to freebies, etc, but a small note on the main page reminding us of our inadequacies (UK only.. for example) would be welcome.
So my G2 Apple TV sits like a very small quiet out the way thing, connected via HDMI to my amp and to all my NAS shares via cabled ethernet (well, the switch is in a cupboard 3ft away), all controlled effortlessly by a logitech harmony remote. Even my total Luddite spouse can use it.
Of course, I had to jailbreak and install XMBC - and now it plays anything (even 1080 content, tho downscaled to 720) - so I have the flexibility of using the iTunes ecosystem; AirPlay for music, or photos when friends visit; and the ability to play just about any media type.
At €99 its hard not to justify really. As soon as the xbmc / jailbreak option works on ATV3, I'll be having one for the bedroom, thank you very much.
all power to you lot over in England right now, but every day I thank the Sweet Baby-J that its you guys with the advert-promotional-marketing-slobber-fest that is "this summers' festivities" and not here in (the real) Europe.
Even tho, I still get a nauseating 10min advert from the sweet-dark-fizzy drink people every-freaking-time I go see a movie.
is that it's inappropriate to make fun of something someone was born with (short, red, gay, black) vs something someone has control over (fat, smelly, lazy)
And, of course, where humour and good natured ragging inadvertently supports real bigotry.
There is institutionalised discrimination against gay people, black people (and white people) and real physical harm is dealt to these groups
I've yet to hear or read of some religious nut-job calling for the death of red-heads.
I know the OS itself is (at least mostly) 64bit, and many of the apps that I run show as '64-bit intel', what happens to the system as a whole when a 32-bit app runs?
I held out on an iPhone 4 because of the original version of this story - but then I got an AR Drone for christmas and my ancient 3G just couldn't hack it
and you know what, I just don't get signal degradation *that-I-notice*
perhaps its coz here in the Netherlands we have good signal coverage? I have no idea. Perhaps it's coz the actual effect in real life is nominal?
Whilst I absolutely love his articles and read them from first to last word, and thoroughly respect his knowledge and opinion, I do feel the bootnote at the end of Lewis' document should be modified like this:
Lewis Page is a former Royal Navy officer, who left after 11 years' service in order to avoid wasting his time and the taxpayers' money aboard frigates and destroyers - and to avoid becoming bitter about fuckwits in government
the M25 is already sung about as "the road to hell"
perhaps we could line xtians up along its entirely length whispering their sweet nothings to their sweet nothing as motorists drive happily (gayly?) around it
so no more movie buying for me thanks - I just don't watch them again, and again, and again
well, not typically. Occasionally there'll be something worth while to watch several times, but that's probably a movie I'll watch after a few years again
To my mind, the previous AppleTV was too expensive, which meant a Mac Mini was the better bet, but for that money, a PS3 and a lot of change was an even better bet
now, the AppleTV is priced where it should have been

bwaaaahahahahahahahahaha
"anyone who finds your lost iPad to return it"
agree....
...with the other non UK chap
get it, yes, yes, yes, you're a UK based company, us mainland euroweenies have no right to freebies, etc, but a small note on the main page reminding us of our inadequacies (UK only.. for example) would be welcome.
or even better let us compete too...

thank the SBJ

yeah, but so what
at the (high) risk of sounding like a total dolt, what does it actually mean if they find it?
Will it mean some boffin somewhere can create a time machine, or an FTL drive, or a Transporter beam, or a death-star ray gun?
Its fabulously important sounding, but where does it take us (us=humanity..)
Just have to say
so so very nice to see someone use "all tolled" correctly. Brightened my day wonderfully
buy it, I wont
having bought the VHS, the DVD, the DVD Directors cut - I think I've paid my dues.
enough is enough

Madge?
So perhaps this is where the Madge Vadge got her training from...
why does it have to be one or the other?
The article suggests app buyers need to head to one camp or the other
bugger that - I'll browse and buy from which ever gives me the best of what I want.
A viable competitor to anything is usually good - this is no exception
it should be banned...
.. because its the foulest smear on the planet. Distilled from engine oil drained from a million mile truck
Range Rovers
you mean like the one Tata put into Range Rovers a few years ago already?
the difference..(possibly, perhaps, maybe)
is that it's inappropriate to make fun of something someone was born with (short, red, gay, black) vs something someone has control over (fat, smelly, lazy)
And, of course, where humour and good natured ragging inadvertently supports real bigotry.

apology and a free speed cam sub
So I got an email from TomTom last night (I live in the Netherlands) explaining their disgust and offering me a free sub to their speed camera add on
now all I need is a car again.
;)
Personally, I like their response. It was quick and - for me, and probably all us Dutchies - effective
more likely..
sucking the hind-tit..
:))
smug... here in the Netherlands.
Nice to see the statistics match my own personal experience.
but only..
if you've actually made it to the end of the short-strokes... otherwise it's just unfair
Holland
I'm from Holland - isn't that weird!
alternate realities
Reading these articles, and then reading the NYT.BBC etc articles - well, its like there are two different events being described.
I admire Lewis' writings, but I can't help getting the slight feeling he's got an agenda here.
Still, I chose to believe his reporting over the babble being spewed by the more mainstream press, which we know, for sure, has many agendas.
39%
Give us some perspective - how many is that per day/hour/minute etc
oh - and yeah, well done Microsoft.
at the risk of provoking a flame war
where does OS X sit in this?
I know the OS itself is (at least mostly) 64bit, and many of the apps that I run show as '64-bit intel', what happens to the system as a whole when a 32-bit app runs?
missing..
As a soon to be Android owner, what am I missing here?...
that you should rather get an iPhone 4
we're back to the old Windows days (android) / 60's sex days and the consequences of both
we can hope
Wouldn't mind meeting that Arab
is this give an old story a home day?
I held out on an iPhone 4 because of the original version of this story - but then I got an AR Drone for christmas and my ancient 3G just couldn't hack it
and you know what, I just don't get signal degradation *that-I-notice*
perhaps its coz here in the Netherlands we have good signal coverage? I have no idea. Perhaps it's coz the actual effect in real life is nominal?
light... particle and wave..
University physics was a long time ago for me, and there has been a lot of illicitness between then and now..
but, that aside, if my addled memory functions as it should, the theory about light is that it is both wave and particle.
so this cancels the wave, but what about the particle?
PoshPorsche on eBaygood lord
I stupidly went to the murdered out web site
and then, even more stupidly read some of the comments from the rocket scientists who visit.
I can feel my brain leaking out my ass in an attempt to get away from my eyes as punishment
I'm holding out
a) coz my 3G - scratched, scuffed and not anywhere near pristine still does the job that I want
b) coz I reckon the white 4 will have tweaks not mentioned - as is the Apple Way
c) coz T-Mobile here in the Netherlands have had an 8 week waiting list for the black one which just puts me off.
goddamn it
I was expecting quite different pictures and a much more 'meaningful' story
maybe...
this wingnut and ol' Ted Haggard play down-on-their-knees together?
mucking forons.
depends
on where you are. Don't be fooled into thinking the name of a person is any clue to their gender, race, nationality etc here in Amsterdam...
lordy
you should see some of the rigid feminine pleasure devices on sale here in Amsterdam
if one of them was waved at me with violence in mind, I'd turn and run.
fast and far.
(oh-beer-thirty approaches. Fast)
oooer missus

Don't forget, Steve Jobs thinks the Cloud Is The Future...
I bet he has a trick up his sleeve whereby NFC will be an enabler to make Cloud Access painless and easy
this story stinks
'nuff said
oh the dilema
see...
the iPad is the portable option, and the iMac is for the home
where does this new air fit in?
empty vessel / most noise

bootnote
Whilst I absolutely love his articles and read them from first to last word, and thoroughly respect his knowledge and opinion, I do feel the bootnote at the end of Lewis' document should be modified like this:
Lewis Page is a former Royal Navy officer, who left after 11 years' service in order to avoid wasting his time and the taxpayers' money aboard frigates and destroyers - and to avoid becoming bitter about fuckwits in government
I do believe
the M25 is already sung about as "the road to hell"
perhaps we could line xtians up along its entirely length whispering their sweet nothings to their sweet nothing as motorists drive happily (gayly?) around it
so....
Larry is writing for The Reg now?
What happened to Critical Thinking in the journalistic process?
because..
microsoft are evil and apple are glorious
perhaps.
edited
This article reads like it underwent some serious legal editing
It started out so well, and then fizzled into a dreary whine.
Upshot - vendors can't be trusted.
newsflash! Fox's can't be given keys to hen house!
this model will work for me
I've done the buy-vhs, buy-DVD bit..
fool me once, shame on you
fool me twice, shame on me..
so no more movie buying for me thanks - I just don't watch them again, and again, and again
well, not typically. Occasionally there'll be something worth while to watch several times, but that's probably a movie I'll watch after a few years again
So this really does work for me.
AppleTV looks interesting now
To my mind, the previous AppleTV was too expensive, which meant a Mac Mini was the better bet, but for that money, a PS3 and a lot of change was an even better bet
now, the AppleTV is priced where it should have been
good stuff really
I wish we had Nando's here
That is all.
Let me be the first...

JaitcH, Honey..
if you want to be the next Webster Freaky you have to be:
a) original
b) rabid
c) entertaining
d) slightly unhinged and detached from reality
You just sound vaguely moronic and bitter
circumcision
So...
if a Jewish / Islamic family take a video of the day their dahlingk young boy is mutilated - I mean, circumcised - then that's extreme porn?
Good
that'll teach the fuckers
whoop-de-fucking-do
But how about being able to actually use large spreadsheets with Excel vomiting
shame poor fools
here, in the Netherlands on my 60Mb internet bundle (DSL? Cable? dunno - don't care) - that download takes mere seconds
And I can see hookers from my window (ok, I have to lean out the window and peer down the street some) and smoke weed legally
now, what was I saying?
um. Shit, forgot. But I am hungry suddenly
