Am i being very stupid? How is this 15th most popular? What does it say?
I thought the price looked ok for the console.
Way too much focus on motion sensing controls, which people don't really seem to be interested in; they don't want to be flailing our arms around to play some Mario. At least that's how I see it.
Re: Exchange rate? Apple don' need no stinking exchange rate.
I wonder how much people spend on these games?
I wonder how much the average user spends (only counter users who do spend)?
I wonder what the top 10 spenders are?

another school of thought would suggest that Lenovo will be one of the most secure*, after being caught out like this.
Maybe the glueing helps stop things rattling around inside something which will get a lot of rattling in it's life? Is it possible that this glue will help the device feel newer for longer because of that?
I was updating my other half's 5s last night.
So I could have either updated via iTunes, or clear a bit of space on her phone. I decided to clear up some space on the phone. Most of her space seems to be taken up by apps. So I delete a few she doesn't use, but that still didn't leave enough room. I look at what's taking up most room, and it's still apps, specifically Buzzfeed, which weighs in at just under 800MB - surely that cant be right? I check, the app itself is like 20MB, the rest is cache. Can you clear the cache? Not really; you have to delete the app then reinstall it!
From what I've read, ApplePay sounds like a very clever system, and more secure than GoogleWallet.
I used GoogleWallet in the UK once (Subway sandwiches), when you could spoof your location (you had to be in the US), and be granted access to the app. It worked well.
Really, I'd be happy with either. The idea of a properly digital wallet which I could use most places is appealing. Hopefully Apple will speed up the process of getting NFC Payments to work in more countries.
Just a quick thing about iTunes music on android phones.... You can just drag and drop the music files. There's no lock on them. Or maybe you might choose to upload them to GoogleMusic. Any music i download from iTunes gets automatically uploaded to my Google Music account.
You are right about Apps though.
The new iPhone 6, is actually cheaper than the iPhone 5 cost.
The number of people Huawei having working in R&D.
Twitch have made a good move there, selling.
There doesn't appeal to be much mass appeal for Twitch, obviously it has 55 million users, but will that grow much bigger?
The Twitch owners were right to get out (financially now, before there users leave/grow up.
At work our main password has to change every 30 days. I just n+1 to the number at the end of my very basic password.
Would having special characters in your Verified By Visa password help THAT much?
You can't brute force the Verified By Visa password system - after a few incorrect attempts your account is locked - so you just need to make a password that cant be guessed easily. If you replaced every special character you wanted to use, with the letter A, in this case it's just as secure.
"rapidly dwindling stock value" - it's been pretty even for along time now.
I thought this was going to work on iOS/Android from launch?

Does facebook not own any buildings, or data farms or useful IPRs?

Oh no, NOT MY EMAIL ADDRESS!?!?
Downes wishes they'd think again.“SD looks just as good on a PC screen,” he said at the event.
"Downes wishes they'd think again.“SD looks just as good on a PC screen,” he said at the event." - Which PC screen? A grey box laptop from 1997?
Obviouslyif you play it in its native size it will "look just as good" but what happens if you want it full screen?
...but i thought i should at least watch the video.
It actually looks pretty good. i've found my problem with skyrim, is that as a xbox user, the UI is rather horrid, needing lots of button presses thanks to the relitivly low number of buttons on an xbox controller.
IE, quick save and quick load!!
this seems to have addressed that. I obviolusly wont be buying a kintect for it though.
Policeman Pete - "Cuz, whats the password?"
Me - "Well, i remember it just being random letters and numbers, I think it started "1bii19w", but it was well over 20 characters long, maybe 30, used letters numbers and special characters, and after 2 years in nick, i've totally forgotten it. Sorry, cuz"
i'd have thought, to avoid 'contaminating evidence' the friendly policeman just pops the phone in a evidence bag as is, ie turned on. What if there is valuable forensic evidence under the battery cover that falls out when he take the batt out?
Also, not so helpful for sealed phones, as so many people have said. Nokia N8, iPhones etc.
Most Smartphones now will let you set up WiFi hotspot, and most of the Networks will allow you to tether, either as part of you data allowence, or for a small fee, usually about £5 you can add on a 'tethering' allowance. I am on 3, and i get actually unlimited, unlimited data (inc tethering), and the speed is fast enough to stream NetFlix.
If you were in a country with a LTE/4G network i can see the appeal of buying the 4G iPad. Some people might want to extra 4G speed, I'm not sure what for yet, as i said, i can stream NetFlix on 3G.
Maybe in a few years time when NetFlix et al stream in Full HD, and there is an actual 4G network in the UK i might consider getting the 4G iPad. I guess my phone would be 4G by then too, though?
I bought a WiFi one. Its £100 cheaper, and i get actually unlimited tethering with my mobile phone contract (Three One Plan). So i just tether my ipad to my phone, all the time.
"BBC iPlayer added to Xbox, FINALLY"
Glad its on there though, the xbox is getting really moving into media streaming hub teritory well.
Isn't it time we got rid of 32-bit machines? Or rather, isn't it time we stop making 32 bit machines?
The problem with the PS controller is the triggers are shaped wrong. They need to be concave, like the xbox, not convex. its such an odd design choice. I find it really uncomfortable. I expect its why on games like Call of Duty, they PS controller doesn't actually use the triggers for shooting?
I personally also prefer the concave tips on the thumbsticks on xbox, rather than the convex ones on PS3. But i know lots of people who prefer it the otherway round.
On reflection, i much prefer the xbox controller - but the battery pack: Yuk.
I use a MacBook Pro, can you tell me how it is any more "locked in" than another laptop?
I watched JP1 recently in the cinema. It is still awesome.
The Dino CGI is just brilliant, even 18 years later. And that music still wows me. Amazing.
Well, if someone downloads, for free (illegally) a copy of a DVD, the answer is a difficult one. The defendant could easily argue that becuase its a DVD his friend owns, that he would have just borrowed it anyway, and therefore the loses are £zero. You could also say the the film company has lost the cost of 1 x DVD royalties, which is going to be £5-£10? You then have to add on lawyers fees, etc.
However, if you upload while you download (the standard setting for most p2p/torrent programs) then you've distrobuted the DVD (just parts of it, maybe) to possibley thousands of people. So suddenly the film company has lost thousands of potential DVD sales, directly from your actions, ie 1000s X £5-£10? Then add on the laywers fees etc.
You can, of course, tell your torrent program (i've heard) to not upload any data, and therefore you're not distrobuting any data at all.
Thats as i understand it, anyway.
tin foil hats at the ready.
Buy yourself a packet of scampi fries with your friday pint to celebrate such a joke!
No price for the 1TB sized option, which the article is named after?
Google's No.1 enemy is indeed google. They have grown so big, and are so diverse it wont be long until they are thrown before an EU council or similar and told to stop being quite so good at what they do. In the world, you just aren't allowed to be too good at what you do, its not fair.
"Underneath the visually arresting two-thirds scale supercar body, the Wind is essentially a Twingo ...."
Actually, its a RenaultSport Twingo. A very different animal, in terms of handlinging and poise.
