You can't say fuck on TUAW?
Really?

Your're completly right. You can criticise MS. That's ok, but MS get's sued for including features in it's OS that everybody includes.

Apple had search and for spotlight for quite a while. You can't turn spotlight off very easily. And installing Google Desktop makes no sense on a MAC ... but you can. But nobody sues Apple for the many, many functions included in the OS.

Suing a company for things like this - and winning - is in my opinion total bullshit. They are a software company for holy somethings sake. Now other software companies sue them to forbid their software so you have to take a third party tool. I'd say: just make better software that's worse replacing the included tools.

The only thing that makes sense is not allowing them to block the installation and functions of other programs. And they have never done something like this.- An OS is only popular when there's enough software, developers ... - Maybe you can't uninstall the Internet Explorer. But you can use whatever browser you want. Period.

There's a notepad software in Windows. And there are some nice replacements for it, if you need stuff like this ... it's that easy.

Now I really hate my first gen 1.83 CoreDuo MacBook Pro.
I cannot love it anymore ...

Oh, what the hell ... that's not true ... well maybe it is.

Waht means „can do twice as much”.

I really cant understand why:
more functions = better

It is not!

This toaster can access the web, it has a lcd display and you can surf while wating for your toast. It even warns you when you're going out of toast.
You should take that over that simple to use toaster, which is realible and does what it has to. because it has more features. And you will learn fast how to navigate through the mirriads of options to get to the toast function.

This view ruins design!

Marketing research should never be the primary base for design: people just want more stuff for free.

I … and you, if you're not the CEO of MS or Apple, don't need a ton of bs applications. This ony complicates simple processes like writing an idea into your notebook.

The iPod's succes was not because of third party add-on, for holy something's sake … The iPod was a fine example for reduction and focusing on user experience and easy access.

I wish Apple to stand firm and not open the device for third parties. It makes no sense.
It does what it has to and that in a brilliant way. Better than any other cell-phone. It is a phone and it should stay a phone. The can't keep up the quality of the UI when they can't control everything, I'm afraid.

It makes, in my opinion, also no sense because the great majority of users don't need that, although forums like this here seem to show into the other direction. But this is a gagdet-fans blog ... nuff said.

Personally I find it sad that a lot of people want to be entertained by the device, kept busy by it. Just fill out their time with playing with the device.
Thus the device becomes „content”. But it's not. It's, as every computer, supposed to be a tool.

In addition you can be entertained, because the iPod functions are there … and that should be enough.
I even find movie watching on the go too extreme. If you've got to watch TV on the go, you've got a serious problem - but that's only my opionion.
What else do you want? Let me guess: gaming.

More features will just complicate a device that is not supposed to replace a computer - btw: Office is really a stupid idea on a cell phone. Surfing already is … Get one of those mini pcs for all that ...

If they complicate the device any more, I'm out.

Cheers.

Aaaahhh ... the new iZune .. hehehe

Me, me, me! Hnngg,hnngg, me, me, me!

This one is really easy:

Bill: Ha! Why didn't I think of that before?

Your translation is good already.

They say they overheared a conversation on the Developer Conference 2006 and after that asked MS directly and they said it's true: There's talks. But they don't know if it' gonna happen yet.

Why does not Blog mention that the 499$ version is crippled, in there headlines? No HDMI? No nothing!

And PS3 Fanboys should start to understand: they've been at CGI most of them time. The graphics just won't be different fromt the 360.
Basta.
