Hey well, he sold me a duke DS and I paid him for it, that's all I can say

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #121 on:** September 01, 2010, 06:26:13 PM »

he sold me some bum ram and the gamecube he sold eel is, uh, better never mentioned. seriously, i think it had developed some sort of eczema

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #122 on:** September 01, 2010, 06:26:59 PM »

it gets laggy, and scrolling down a page in just about any browser leaves that blank/checkerboard pattern for a second

it's not a problem now but i can see it becoming one once we get iOS 4.1

maybe the jailbreak is better optimized, and maybe ipad can handle it better, but i definitely noticed a good bit of sluggishness on my ipod touch after i upgraded to iOS4

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #123 on:** September 01, 2010, 06:28:19 PM »

oh, i get the checkerboard scroll thing, but that doesn't bug me much -- that's just safari. i'm not sure its ram but a rendering engine/perf flaw with safari?

Top Music
These are the top purchased songs from the people you follow.

What makes me sad is, I buy 90% of my music from eMusic and Amazon. straight-up MP3s >>>>>>>>>>>>>> shit I gotta convert

yeah, I actually buy MP3s from Amazon and legitimate digital download codes bundled with vinyl. But "purchased" here means "from iTunes," and AAC? Fuck that.

I'm curious if you can facetime on touches to iphones. I don't see why you couldn't, but don't you need a phone number to use facetime?

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #135 on:** September 01, 2010, 08:35:02 PM »

It's weird that the 3GS version of UE3 has antialiasing but the iPad version doesn't.

Rman · « **Reply #144 on:** September 02, 2010, 08:02:32 AM »

Meh conference. I got an iPhone 4, so the Touches are merely gimped versions of the 4, weaker camera and TN screen as opposed to the IPS panel of the iPhone 4. I really wanted more from the Apple TV, such running a proper iOS with access to the App store and compatibility with the new track pad.

Rman · « **Reply #145 on:** September 02, 2010, 04:28:48 PM »

Engadget mentioned the viewing angles weren't as good as the iPhone 4s. Many are guessing it's not an IPS panel based on hands on comparisons. Unlike the iPhones, which is heavily subsidized by the telecos, Apple needs to make a profit with the Touches, so cheaper components are necessary.

Apple has also been touting IPS screens--iPad, iMacs, Apple Displays, and iPhones, but this was missing in their marketing materials for the new Touches.

That's a big letdown since the iPhone 4 has the greatest screen in the entire portable consumer market. Would've loved to see that transfer over to their iPod Touch line.

The resolution is the still same, though. Retina Display and all. Viewing angles should not be such a big problem since it's a very personal device.

iTunes 10 seems faster so far.

Mac or Windows?

Songbird > Amarok > RhythmBox >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> iTunes > other 3rd party music players > Windows Media Player

Android > WebOS > iOS >>>>>>> Windows 7 mobile (from what I've seen, lol, I'd never bother even trying it tbh)

Chrome > Midori > Safari

etc etc essentially there's better alternatives for most of Apples software imo.

iTunes

I love OSX and Macbooks, but iOS and Apples regular consumer level software I've found pretty underwhelming so far, Final Cut Pro is great though (hear Logic is too) and iPad is appealing to me but I don't buy 1st gen Apple products and by the sounds of it, it has iOS4 problems.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #154 on:** September 03, 2010, 12:54:09 AM »

webOS better than iOS

naff · « **Reply #155 on:** September 03, 2010, 01:12:48 AM »

Yeah I think the software is cooler it's had multitasking since inception and it's UI is really nice. Nicer than iOS but that's my opinion. i haven't used a new iPhone yet though, this was based on my impressions of iOS using iOS pre multi tasking. I needa try out these new fangled iPhones, they're still not out here though and I dunno anybody with iOS4 on their shit yet.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #156 on:** September 03, 2010, 03:05:17 AM »

they're still making the classics

120gigs isn't enough space?

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #158 on:** September 03, 2010, 03:19:19 AM »

yeah fuck apple for not giving you a 200 gig ipod

ManaByte · « **Reply #159 on:** September 03, 2010, 03:23:31 AM »

Fuck that. I want a 200 terabyte iPod.

naff · « **Reply #160 on:** September 03, 2010, 03:24:45 AM »

Classics are 160gb... More than that seems pretty unnecessary in an MP3 player. At least for my uses. I couldn't even use 100gb but I'd never keep film on there

Jimpster! I love this guy's stuff at the moment.

There are a billion different types of house, any artists in particular you enjoy and I could give better recommendations?

yeah, I intentionally didn't buy an iPad because: Apple, 1st gen, etc. Apple products are like Star Trek movies, you always want the even generations

I may steal this.
Also, I only bought my 32GB iPod Touch -moments- before the iPhone 4 announcement, so I'm feeling like even non-early-adopters are being cornholed regularly by Jobs.

This is one of my favorite Lynch pieces. Turning it into an iPhone parody ad is genius. Of course, I'm still re-watching Brick on my iPod during my train commute, so I'm not entirely living the gospel.

My music library is over 100 gigs and with the extra space it uses for whatever it needs it for, my 120gb Zune is damn near filled. Capacity is the number one thing keeping me from updating my media device.

Rman · « **Reply #164 on:** September 03, 2010, 02:57:10 PM »

HD media players are dead. Mostly for two reasons: Flash memory is getting cheaper--the high end is still pricey, however, and it has no moving parts, so flash based players are sturdier than HD based ones. Movement and hard drives are not a good combination.

That's a lot of music, Wraith2x! My library is like 8 gigs, but I'm not a big music guy.

naff · « **Reply #165 on:** September 03, 2010, 11:41:19 PM »

Yeah, I love David Lynchs opinions on things

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

Do you travel a lot Wrath? I have ~70 gigs of music but I can't think of a time I'd want to have it all on an MP3 player at once unless I was travelling and didn't have a computer. There are MP3 players > 200gb like the Archos 5

ManaByte · « **Reply #166 on:** September 04, 2010, 03:12:17 AM »

My music library is just under 30gigs. But the stuff I'd want to take with me is just 5gigs so I just sync that to my 32gig iPhone.
