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.

      The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
