Oh yeah

-outside USA

-TV

-SD

Has anyone noticed today matches picture quality is poor? Its either virgin media or FIFA because both matches so far are more pixelated, lines seem more zig zaggy and the motion of play/camera movement seems different and not that smooth.

Teams are week... not to par with previous World Cup games...

England should have done better, had many chances and did not do anything with it.

Germany clearly superior to Australia.

Serbia should have done better.... not organized well...

Spain - Switzerland still 0:0, I was expecting from Spain to score in the first half but nothing so far...

Most likely to go to semi-finals: Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Spain

1) Week is a span of 7 days; Weak* is what you're looking for, yea I'm a grammar nazi when it comes to the wrong word - normally don't say anything though.

2) Teams aren't necessarily weak, just not taking advantage of chances, and its only just now getting into game 2 of group stages. Teams just seem somewhat even with a few exceptions.

+1 to you, that's amusing.

Haha. (Y) :laugh:

I seem to be noticing the vuvuzelas less and less as each match comes though, if I'm honest. :)

I drown them out, but for those that don't SA just lost 3-0, so maybe there will be a significantly smaller amount of them!?

this vuvuzela equals some headache.. grrrrr...

WC is boring so far.. I think I enjoyed more or less only 2 matches.. GER-AUS and IvoryC-Port.. and the second one only cos portugal didn't score.. SCOOOOORE :)

Brazil, Spain.. well, so far a little bit disappointing..

CBC is streaming the games live on their cbc.ca website.

I also have HDTV where CBC is showing the games in HD but I tend to watch them online so I can multitask with Neowin. :D

The perks of having my TV next to my computer! I can tilt it around so it faces me, I have the Internet and TV at the same time! :laugh:

I can't stand football, ?but i greatly enjoy the fact that due to the WC the buskers aren't allowed to torture my ears because every bar has big screen and people are watching that.? ?

Yesterday a busker tried anyway and was brusquely cut off. Sigh. I want the WC every summer.? :p

Yeah, I haven't bothered to pull cable to this room. Even the Internet comes in via a wireless bridge.

    • They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus?
    • Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
