You look at it as it is a reboot but I still don't. When asked if it's a reboot the director said "yah, I guess.." that's pretty up in the air if you ask me.

It just means the director isn't really interested in what happened was done the other Bond movies, and is doing his own thing. He's keeping elements like Judy Dench, etc., only because he thinks they work, and he's discarding things he doesn't think he works.

The whole idea of a 'reboot' is based on the idea that directors/writers have to respect some canonicity, which I think is mostly a bad idea to begin with. I wish with Star Trek for instance the writers didn't obsess so much about canon, and just kept what worked and leave aside what didn't, and didn't worry about ret-conning things (which of course doesn't mean completely changing everything). They should have never worried about explaining why Klingons changed appearance, for instance.

I've always enjoyed spotting all Sony electronics in Bond movies :p They're rumoured to have been using one of Sony's unannounced phones. In this trailer I managed to spot four Bravia TV's (in one shot) and three (possibly four) Vaio's, all VPC-S series.

The Vaio's:

I like how mi6 has gone to effort of designing a theme for whatever OS they are using.

Nothing new in movies, unless MS is a sponser or something so they don't have to pay royalties when showing the UI etc.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.
