    I tried to force myself to like the new Office suite.
    I'm back via Fusion with Office ...

    Word, Excel in Mac is okay for light editing.
    Outlook is dismal.
    For example, I moved 7K mail items from Exchange from one folder to another. That process took 14 hrs....

    Just for schitz and giggles, I did the same process in Outlook on my PC and it took 6-8 minutes tops. This was moving items on a Exchange Server

    It's not just Rosetta. Office on my G4 opens in about half the time it used to on previous versions of 10.4

    First open takes about 4 bounces to the Project Gallery, subsequent openings are maybe 2 bounces. Much quicker than before.

    Newer updates contain newer features (that the Apps might require to run) as well as essential security fixes. Running an older iOS version (as with any OS) is simply ill advised.
    Obviously, if an app requires newer features it should require it. But if it's just doing basic stuff that you could do since, say, 4.0, why exactly should they require you update to 4.3.3? And if it doesn't need/use things like multitasking, why not use as low of a rev as possible to ensure the most people possible can run the app?

    I have a number of friends with 3G phones that refuse to upgrade since they've seen lots of issues on their devices with the newer firmware, and there's an increasing number of apps they can't run but have no discernible reason to be requiring the newest firmware version...

    Which is why he said he is either delusional OR a liar. Basically he is blowing smoke up everybody's ***. You can't deny that there is a signal issue. It is very easily reproduced. Also it is not just the bars, but a lot of times the call will get choppy or drop. Then when you take your fingers off it is clear as a crystal.

    Some people are having it happen but not me:

    Increased biofuel production causes food prices to skyrocket.

    Not true. Soybean based biodiesel is made by pressing the beans to retrieve the oil. The soy bean pulp is a "byproduct" of soy biodiesel production. Conversely, the bean oil is a "byproduct" of soybean based foods. Hence, the two are quite complementary, and not at all exclusive.

    If you're thinking of Corn Ethanol on the other hand, that entire thing is a disaster. Yes, corn ethanol takes away from the food supply. It also takes a lot more energy to create than what it contains. Corn is also one of the most demanding crops, in terms of water, fertilizer, and pesticides. Bad stuff all around. Ethanol fuel is a scam forced upon us by the powerful Corn lobby.

    Do you want to know what the "way forward" really is? Drive less. There isn't enough energy in the world for everyone to tool around in their cars as much as they do now. But nobody wants to believe it.
    Now this I agree with you on! Both my wife and I walk to work. We live in an urban area and both our offices are less than 1 mile from our home. Sadly though, many US cities are full of urban sprawl, and people who willingly live long distances from work and sit in long traffic lines twice each day.

    I think this is the #1 reason people don't switch; They think that the difficulties of windows are how computing is supposed to be, namely, complicated, expensive, and time consuming.

    I have to fight tooth and nail at my company to use a mac because, and I quote my "IT Professional"; "Macs are too expensive, they get too many viruses, and they're too hard to network and support". Now, granted, this woman isn't bright and was "promoted" to network admin from some receptionist job at some point, but this is how most companies think.

    When she sits down at my mac to "fix it" (break something), she spends minutes looking for the complicated way of doing something instead of checking a box or pushing a button. The Principals of my company are the same. I'll do presentations in Keynote or make marketing movies or DVD's that the rest of the company loves, but since it's not supported on windows, the initiatives go nowhere. It's a mixture of ignorance and IT weasels looking to hold on to their jobs. If we had macs at work, she'd be out of a job and she knows it.

    I hope Princeton's policies are platform agnostic, otherwise all the new mac users could find themselves in a difficult situation.

    The only problem with some switchers is that they're so used to doing things the complicated way. I've had most of my friends go out and buy iTunes, some to switch to the Mac, but it seems like they're not used to the fact that their OS works for them rather than the other way around.

    For instance, one friend organized his entire iTunes library in playlist. For each artist, each album -- he wanted one click access to every album. I then told him about the "Browse" feature and he was pretty pissed. It also seems like people aren't used to the fact that iTunes organizes your music files for you -- they want to go into each folder and name things themselves. SO DIFFICULT.

    If this means I can finally use the same online calendar (either Google's or Windows Live, I don't care which) with Outlook 2011 and I'll be happy. Otherwise, I don't care.

    I think it's pretty damn impressive considering it's emulated. :eek:

    Not even sure how much benefit the second core confers in an application like office anyway. What it means is that the top of the range mac now available runs the application as well as the same place/priced machine from 1 year ago, make of that what you will.

    Whoa. That's around 8 minutes of commentary about the issue. It's plain to see that Jon is secretly in love with Apple.

    If that analogy holds true, then he is basically Rupert Murdoch's golf buddy? And his most favorite dinner guest is Sarah Palin?

    I more mean that you can pick and chose with Move. For example, I already have a PlayStation Eye from years ago (and so do a fair few people), so if I were to invest in Move I'd simply need a controller to do the basics, and a navigator if I want to pimp it.

    The system scales, based on what you already have, and what you want to have. Whereas Kinect is �129, no matter what you own (Move for me would cost less than �70). I do agree however that Move is damn expensive if you need all the components and want 2 players...but then is there really any game worth that outlay right now? I do see Move as having the advantage of buttons though.

    I've had a go on Move, and although the controllers were obviously plastic, they felt no more so than every other game controller (DualShock, Wii Remote, 360 controller) under the sun. Kinect's technology is pretty impressive, I will totally admit.


    As we both agree, it does simply come down to the games. Killzone 3 may be the make or break of Move, as from what I've seen it'll be the first AAA title from Sony with Move support. Not sure what Microsoft's answer to that will be?





    [EDIT: http://kotaku.com/5688040/report-kinect-only-cost-56-to-make
    Seriously, $56 to make, selling at $149? Microsoft should have cut it to $99, still made a huge profit, and actually avoided the massive criticism of price. Totally insane]

    I agree I mean look at the Move you can get everything you need for $99 and the same price and extra controller. Its just MS typical Nickle and dime scheme.

    Showing how Android is surging ahead is meant to show which OS is winning, but often (as is the case with this report, I believe) they are only looking at phone sales. Because iOS runs on iPads and iPods, Apple's share is higher. I wish we could get more concrete evidence on this.

    One can always hope. But when has this ever NOT been true for a Microsoft operating system? Windows 95 ran poorly on computers released when 3.1 was out. Windows XP had compatibility issues with many Win 98 boxes. Etc, etc. This has always been true for them. The only difference now is how long XP has been out without being significantly updated.

    Agreed.... but I think to most (at the time) the Mac OS wasn't even considered. Macs were "toys" only used by "artsy" folk :rolleyes:

    The general view of the Mac has changed alot in ten years.

    If Apple is actually planning to roll out a cloudified iTunes and/or MobileMe, then maybe the late-May "no vacation" policy at the Apple Stores is for training their sales staff on the new features. Or maybe not. Who knows?

    Just because a couple of geeks running MacRumours think this is front page worthy doesn't mean it is.

    This just in, a game came out for Mac!

    It's more embarrassing to the OS then anything.
    What? Its by far one of the biggest games of the year in the games industry regardless of platform. PC news sites are covering it too, as would any platform specific news site when the most important games are being released.

    Crazy.

    The Ashes (and this is un-Australian) wouldn't bother me too much if England win. They've been the better side and it's nice for the competition to be back in the series. Whereas the Rugby was not acceptable. I wanted us to win!

    69-0

    Time for drinks.

    Tony Grieg had a very Alan Partridge moment when Pratt came out to field and Grieg said something like [refering to the crowd] "Run out another one, they're probably saying to him".

    You don't need to take a country by direct force when you set up their governments to bend to your whims. Why do you think certain leaders get installed by us? Just because the USA is very careful about the PR doesn't mean we aren't in control through various means.

    That is how you see it ... "bend to your whims?" :rolleyes:

    I however disagree with your opinion of the USA

    This 3D tech is not as cool as it looks in these videos. Both your eyes receive the same image, so your brain knows its not 3D. Nothing will look like its "popping" out of your screen at you.

    What ignorant, xenophobic nightmares are we projecting upon another culture?

    Were they forced to move to France?

    And many Muslim countries force their mores on visitors.
