I actually think things like this are bad...it just allows Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, Game writers,etc to be really lazy and not make their code efficient
@zepfloyd Trust me, there is little incentive for them to do that right now. As long as iPhones/Droids are limited in resources, developers have every reason to make their code more efficient.
I'm not sure why everyone feels like I'm kidding or off base, obviously technology moves forward regardless if we need it now or not, I'm all for it, but I guess I've spent too much time in the real world where the large office I'm sitting in is lucky to have machines with 1GB MAYBE 2..Other than the "cause we can" view, I don't see the logic in jumping that far ahead or the precedent it sets. Larger HD space, sure it'll get filled, faster processor, more speed, but 16x the standard memory found on average today? Hey, if you got extra money to burn, more power to ya.
How do you fail the see the logic? It's simple, upgrades become cheaper. If you can afford it, you get faster machines to leverage or improve your productivity. The office I was in, which was smart rather than cheap, gave admin assistants 4gb and two screens so they never have to close anything. HUGE improvement, to say the least.
I see your point zep. If they software designers were more concerned with efficient code, there'd be less of a need to upgrade in the first place. It's why Photoshop continues to be so bloated after all of these iterations.
Notepad isn't bloated, but it also doesn't do much.
Photoshop, and well the entire CS5 suite, is a prime example of very powerful professional technology, and Photoshop is one of if not the best photo/graphics editing software available today.
Nothing wrong with tremendous specs if you have the software to take advantage of it. This niche likely wants it since they deal with such huge files.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.

@zepfloyd Yeah, let's get rid of Aspirin so people stop drinking too much. ?!?!
HAHAHAHA!!!!
You seem to belong to my tribe and I will let you marry my sister if you bring 20 camels...

@zepfloyd I know right, same with those damn 3TB harddrives!
Stupid technology advances. >:|

Do you really think this is for a mainstream home user or small office to check email and bust out some word documents? Cmon now. =p
