Lol, "a windows version .exe". It's a Quicktime movie file, not the application. And Apple is the one who creates the application, so Microsoft can't be blamed for that even if it was the problem.
And you are so wrong about it only being able to effect that 1 application haha. And I already explained to you why you haven't had many virus's, if you had taken the time to read carefully.
And Apple. (Read: Quicktime)
And Mac's have vulnerabilities to haha. More are merely found for Windows because of it's massive market share percent of other OS's. It's only logical for hackers to look for exploits in Windows OS's. Apple software get's hacked at hacking competitions in a jiffy.
Awesome!
And people try to say PC Gaming is dying.. PFFFT!
Wow, those are some huge jugs! There even bigger than Ivy's.

Yes they are less powerful than the i7's. But still better than the previous generation quad's. It's sorta in between the new and the old.
Drivers aren't ever a problem. And pretty much every game will install any software it needs to run. The only "drivers" problem you could be speaking of, is graphics drivers. And if you don't have those installed, then it's going to be every game not working well for you lol.
Community is hardly "greater" for consoles. Perhaps larger numbers across spectrum, but it's not usually as tight knit as PC communities are. Which partially goes in hand with customizeabili...
@IdleLeeSiuLung:
-_-, I really hate ignorant people like you.
PC gaming doesn't "Require expensive upgrades" every year or so. It requires it just as much as your console requires upgrades.
A PC gamer only upgrades if they want to experience even better graphics than they currently do. Just like when you buy the next generation of a console. Except with PC gaming, we have the choice of just how much power we want, not restricted to what the con...
Yeah. Also, casual gaming is a good thing to have. It's like the "gateway drug" to hardcore gaming. It gets people interested in games, who normally wouldn't. So I think it's one element of gaming that will really help grow the industry faster.
We only have 2 more fabrication sizes to go down before we reach building chips on this scale. Were at 32nm right now. 22nm comes in early 2010, and 16nm in 2011. Then 2012/2013 is where will be making chips on the scale of which this stories device is. Simple molecules and particles.
It's going to be awesome when tech like this finally comes, and only a few years away! Because once we have made it to the smallest possible size, research will start going towards making it cheaper, ...
I said the physical limit of matter. Graphene falls under the catagory of "matter" lol. I know all to well about graphene and carbon nanotubes. Around the 11nm stage is working on that scale. Graphene is merely proposed because current CMOS tech and materials can't really hold up very well at 16nm and below.
I'm talking about once we have chips made of graphene, carbon nanotubes and custom molecular structures. You can't really go any smaller than molecules/atoms, lol. ...
Yeah, I had much hope for quantum processing as the next step once we reach the physical limit of matter for making our current chips.
Which is quite soon btw:

If these boffins are correct, then that really sucks :(.
Telecommunications Profiteering & Greed
Yeah, I was just using the Newegg link as reference. An x58 LGA1136 motherboard may be a better investment though. But i5 is pretty fine anyways. More than enough power for any games coming in the next few years lol. The GPU is what will matter the most :P.
And yeah, the next gen GPU's "should" be priced the same as when previous generations released. I always hope for a little cheaper though, you never know. With the battle between ATI and Nvidia becoming more tense, ...
Just go for the i7 920. It's well priced, and can overclock very high on stock air. Performing almost as well as the $1000 965 Extreme.
But I'd also wait for the next generation of GPU's coming out later this year. Because their set to be a much bigger leap in performance than usual, plus DirectX 11. And by then the 920 should be even cheaper.

It's really amazing how small of fabrication we are reaching. 28nm next year! After that is 16nm, which is considered the transition to Nanoelectronics. Then 11nm, which is considered Nanoelectronics.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
We are literally reaching the limit of physical matter. At 11nm we will be creating molecular/atomic structures.
I wish you could see the username of people who disagree/agree a comment. I don't understand what there is to disagree with in my comment <_<.
This is so true.
