do the majority of people have great success with sleep mode? Most of the computers I try it on leave me with less then desirable results. Especially Vista and Windows 7 (I couldn't get my PC to wake up when it's running 7). Although I haven't come across any laptops that seem to have this problem (XP).
And it's excellent, the only trouble I had was after the initial installation I had no sound but I found the driver for it after half an hour of searching. Unfortunately the Australian pricing turns me off a bit but I'll wait another year, maybe a bit more until the price drops to a more acceptable point.
Maybe they do it on purpose. Saves money on advertising if you can get people excited over possible rumours.
Slow internet connections and data caps? It would really only take off in countries like Japan, Sweden, Netherlands, ect... Any country with fast internet. I can't see how this would possibly work.
According to my handy dandy chart I would say we don't. Even the US and UK are leaps and bounds ahead of us, but then again Blu-ray is slowing taking off here anyway (I'd rather rent it then waste my tiny data cap on it).
I know Internode is moving 75% of it's traffic to the new Pipe Cable, don't know about anyone else. Really Pipe should be able to force the Duopoly cable owner's prices down some. But we are still paying an arm and a leg for bandwidth, we'll just have to hope that couple of other companies invest and build several new cables out of Australia.
I don't what it is about us but a lot of people over here seem to just roll over and accept it. I'm glad that at least some people are trying to fight the censorship plans the government has in the works.
But I'd so be all over the Japanese version.
Something like this could never work in most countries, although they can have an A for ambition. Didn't they stop to think of internet connection speed/data caps before announcing this to the world?
I believe their cap is something like 30gig upload and most people don't do as much uploads as they do downloads. But they can buy a 1 gig connection for just over $100 AUD a month.
You young whipper snappers, all you care about is your new fangled graphics!
I pretty much agree with everything you said. After using vista for a year and a half, it's understandable it wouldn't do too well but I don't see the same fate for 7. I personally haven't trust journalism since the last 2 or 3 years because of articles like this.
Firefox is doing well because people keep talking about it and it gets more popular through word of mouth. So people download it out of curiosity or out of someone else's recommendation (personally I hate trouble shooti...
Doesn't seem to matter what I try, I still prefer Firefox over anything else. The extra speed doesn't sway, especially when the next major update comes out for FireFox.
I can't even install IE8! I've downloaded it 3 times and I still get "file is corrupt" despite grabbing the entire 16.1mbs. I guess I won't bother to even try it then since it's performance won't be enough to replace Firefox.
And I'm not even a big star trek fan to begin with.
Firefox is compatible with most modern OSs (e.g. Xp, Vista, Mac, Linux, ect...) regardless of whether they are 32 bit or 64 bit.
I don't know how you manage to screw it up, if you can, take note of why it fails (e.g. error messages) and google it. It's pretty damn easy to install and use.
Then again I would be happy with either a remake or some sort of re-release for the original game (e.g. selling it over PSN), although I don't have an original playstation any more since it crapped out on me.
In Australia it would be our government, although I've heard that they might only have one person approving sites for the black list is which pretty scary.
I don't see why they didn't promote the downloadable filter that the government developed instead of getting rid of it and imposing an ISP level filter.
They've been researching wireless power for a while now, although so far it only lasts very short distances and only provides enough power to power a light bulb last time I heard about it.
I still only have 512...
