I know right, crazy. Say when did you preorder Battlefield 3?

Right. But I do wonder if he pre-ordered it before playing it or seeing actual gameplay and not just trailers. I mean you wouldn't just buy a phone based on an advert online you'd try it in store right? That's how I feel about games.

Erm, I preordered 2 days before BETA but I was E3 and I saw the game in action even much earlier than beta.

And even if I didn't people have seen what the game will look like from the trailers or they had information what the game will feature, have and so on.

With iPhone you have zero information but heavy speculation that usually turns out to be false so deciding to buy something before you even know what is the reflection of an average consumer infatuated with hype rather than rational logic. You don't see the difference?

uhuh the speculation is usually false huh? Like when the iPhone 4 was leaked in a bar and we knew every component it had inside and then with the current rumors for the iPhone 4S which turned out to be dead on the money right down to the Siri UI Lol

Except for the fact that everyone wanted to buy iPhone 5 and not marginal upgrade iPhone 4S turned out to be. S2 is still a better phone which is hugely dissapointing to everyone they are just trying to hide it.

Buw it's all good.. they have 16 clocks in an iPod nano now.. Apple thought: "Hey we have 16 clocks in a clock for you to get even more time" :)

Oh and it has now a sarcastic weather app.. Faaaaantastic! :)

Yeah the SGS2 is way better. I have one in my hands right now. And BTW, it does have hardware acceleration.

I gotta say, I'm pretty happy with the idea of the iPhone 4S. There's a pretty big difference between an A4 and an A5, and Siri seems awesome (though I'm sure it's completely doable on the iPhone 4 and Apple's just holding it as a selling point for the 4S).

... no it doesn't. at all. 2.3 doesn't have hardware acceleration and the hardware acceleration in 3.2 is a joke. you tried though...

and what more can a rooted android do over a jailbroken iphone?

Of course we wanted a newly designed iPhone, the iPhone 4 has been in the market for like 15 months now. But the rumours were dead on the money about an iPhone 4S. The only information we've had about an iPhone 5 is the case accessories. And I think you're really underestimating how useful Siri is.

I could see myself using Siri all the time. Also about the iPod Clocks are you like five years old? They added those so people who want to turn it in to a watch have more choices for the face. You sound childish picking on that.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
