Well my C2D mbp w/ the 9400m runs portal just fine. Heck it runs MW2 and ME2 on W7 bootcamp just fine too. If my sammy netbook could run decent games I would. It's kinda silly to only be able to play Peggle fine on the N110 and choke on Machinarium.
Not sure about the music department since I'm only aware of garage band, but for graphics there's a bunch of free/pay 3rd party editing apps like GIMP, seashore, pixelmator, or just Adobe CS.
For photoediting there's the two big ones, Lightroom and Aperture, along with the whole slew of 3rd party plugins and complementing apps.
For 3D/video editing, there's Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express which is very affordable for indie film makers, Cine...
Twice as many units in your first month considering the amount of Wii owners in NA. Not that awesome.
Downloaded portal, civ complete pack,quantz, and the indie games pack for roughly $65 last night. It's pretty neat to see so many games available for play on the Mac and on the net book. Valve did a great thing with putting steam on the Mac.
If the gap is really arbitrarily close to zero, then it's a possible incentive to why ms is doing a relaunch of their console with natal this october.
This is an awesome multiplayer game on xbla.
I wonder if this one is cheap. I remember when Demon Soul first came out, Fry's had it listed for like $39. After it became immensely popular, they bumped the price up to $59.99
"Adobe will most likely not want to lose marjetshare here and most likely will optimize FLASH"
Well I've been waiting for them to optimize it for quite awhile and it still seems like how it was way back. I was a flash developer for 6 years before going into health, and with the inception of actionscript many moons ago, Flash seemed like it was going quite well. But then Macromedia got bought over and it went downhill.
Flash always looked great for animate...
^ someone that actually read the article and put a decent opinion on it. Anyhoo, can't wait to see what flash does to 'battery life' on my droid since that seems to be the main argument apple has. But I can understand apple's negative view on Flash though.
Anyone with a history of Apple knows that Adobe has always given Apple a kinda 'third-wheel' attention since back in like 96 or so. You know a lot of us mac users have been waiting for Adobe to release a stable flash playe...
According to california law, in addition to have contacted apple (according to Gizmodo) the guy that found the phone also had to file a report with the police. A reasonable amount of time had to also pass for people to claim the phone before it becomes legally his right to sell the phone (otherwise it's theft). This applies to any product with a retail value of over $100. Some argue that there is no value to a prototype, but since Gizmodo explicitly wrote that they paid $5000 for a prototy...
Hey vhero, I'll take your car keys, steal your car, drive it around for a joyride, bang it up a bit, then return it to you after you formally let me know it's definitely your car. Then you can get the law involved, and I'll sue you and the police for it because it was technically your fault for leaving your keys in the bar.
And if you think that logic isn't sound, then any company has the right to get law enforcement involved when it comes to theft and blackmail.
we finally see what isaac looks like and he isn't RDJ.
From what I see, people who are really using the PS3 otheros option for linux and research probably don't even use the PS3 for psn or games. They'd probably look at the firmware update, read the TOS, and refuse the update.
People that use their ps3 for games and the otheros for novelty reasons probably don't even use the otheros option as much as they claim they would. All I could think of is the ones filing the lawsuit just want some quick cash if they could get it. I mean,...
Baka is right on this. What Giz did was really in the lines of blackmail.
"Gizmodo purchased the prototype from the unnamed party for a sum of $5,000 and posted pictures and video online.
In the days to follow, Gizmodo said that they weren't certain of the prototype's origins but once Apple formally claimed the device as their own, they would promptly return it. Sure enough, Apple issued a request for the prototype's return, thus confirming the device's authent...
Maybe they got the law involved before the article was published. Seriously, you can file a report at the police station but they won't catch whoever stole your stuff the following day unless they got some kind of lead. So it's possible law enforcement was already involved, but the article was later published and the damage is done, and now law enforcement knows where to look.
The problem with Giz is that since they had the phone and all information they could retrieve from the phone, they could pretty much fabricate any kind of story they want about the whole transaction they made to obtain the phone.
They were practically the only ones with it. No other site knew what the phone was to look like. There were no [big] leaks other than what Giz started. They could practically change and add to their story how they saw fit by looking at the rumor-mill ...
The fact that they paid for the phone gives you more reason to believe what their true intentions were with possession of the phone. They do whatever it takes to get a big story, but unlike professional journalists, they [like the paparazzi] do it in a d-bag way.
Gizmodo has tried contacting Apple? Yea... like after releasing articles and articles of the phone, raking in millions of page impressions over a course of three days, and generated about $150k in revenue? Definitely much more than they allegedly paid for the phone.
I don't know about you, but if you were someone high up working at an American car company and someone working for you lost designs/spec to your next big car only for it to be published for all to see, you'd do what...
I read somewhere that they're not really limiting it as a lifetime thing but just temporarily because resellers are pricing the product for much more than its msrp due to it being out-of-stock at many places. If you browse some ebay and amazon pages, there were resellers listing the 16gb wifi model for like around $640 before shipping. And clearly some will probably try to sell the US 3g model to make an even bigger buck when the supplies go dry.
You guys remember on the news wh...
^ Tell me of a mac virus. I got a trojan from mail but ClamAV removed that thing like it was nothing. And ClamAV is free. No subscription. Nothing. And the only thing the trojan really affected was Firefox.
You seem like a technogeek that only likes linux because it's the cool thing to have, unlike the programming professionals that live and breathe with it.
