  1. So, really, Microsoft is just phoning it in now, aren't they?
  2. WHAT!?!? You can't make a living off of Rock Band!?! What about Halo!? What about Tetris?!? Pong? Super Mario Bros?!? Then what's the point! :slant:
  3. Safari 4 is only for developers. You can get it from http://connect.apple.com if you signed up for a Dev account. I actually like Chrome more than any other browser on my Windows machine. FireFox is slow, Safari is sluggish, and I don't even touch IE. Hopefully they enable more CSS properties in the future.
  4. Coming soon! iPhone Firmware 2.0.3! Do you have sensitive data? Do you have an iPhone? Do you have sensitive data that you password lock your iPhone? Well then, good news! Anyone can access it! If you would like to keep your private data private, go to Settings -> General -> Home Button and set the option to "Home", NOT "Favorites". iPod touch uses not seeing this and questioning why you don't see the "Home Button" option, I would like to reiterate that I said "iPhone".
  5. Do not discuss piracy on Aqua-Soft. Offending member has been banned for three days. As for free, not unless an older version is hosted on a downloads site that the author did not update. The program is not shareware. So, please buy it to support the author if you want to use it.
  6. MediaMan. I haven't used a new version in a long while (I also noticed it is not freeware anymore). But the functionality was very similar to Delicious Library, almost too identical.
  7. Yep. More places to use the landscape mode and horizontal keyboard, support for more video codecs, customizable backgrounds (I am getting so sick of a black background), a different better looking dock (*insert my "give me back my reflective dock" song and dance*), stricter quality control in the App Store, fix the App Store on the iPhone (New apps are hardly "new", number of downloads don't work and can only view one screenshot), be able to read full descriptions and comments on YouTube app (hesitant about the comments, since everyone that does so sounds like a complete moron, but it would be nice to have the option), unified mail Inbox so I don't have to go into each account separately, and more options for things like auto-lock and alarms in calendars (perhaps add the spinner). That is all I can think of right now.
  8. Put the beer down, for once!
  9. Seriously, how much of a moron do you need to be to go all "OMG!!!1 APPLE IS BIG BROTHRZ WITH TEH KILLZ SWITC!!!111ONE" and "WFTF!! THYR GOIN TO TRAK MY BUYZZZ!!!!11!1". Have they yet abused it? Have they kept apps from running on your iPhone? Even the ones that were later removed from the App Store? What about killing Jailbreak? No?!? Damn, Apple really sure looks shady with it, huh? Have you ever bought anything through iTunes? Yeah?!? Holy shit! Nothing new! As for 2.0.2, I'll wait until a worthwhile update is available. An update just a mere two weeks after the previous one just screams minor fixes or fixes your device if it doesn't work.

    Joker

    Exceptional work on the Joker painting! I'm loving this!
  11. He shouldn't, nor should Apple. The author didn't do anything wrong. Apple didn't do anything wrong (legally). It was the user that initiated the purchase. Whether they did it on accident, or as some of them have put it, buying it as a joke, it is still their fault. Now, I just hope that Apple has learned from this and will be more strict on what they accept, albeit, apps-wise, not programmers.
  12. It would be humorous if there were already quality apps available in the App Store. Right now, it is just filled with useless crap that are no more than glorified web apps (granted, there are some diamonds in the rough, but they are few and far between). Apple is really dropping the ball on their App Store. Many great developers and apps are being declined for no reason, yet they let pointless and terrible apps like this make the cut? There were easily more quality apps available through jailbreaking before the switch to 2.0 than there are in the current official App Store. I will feel the need to add that Jailbreaking was an absolutely free distribution method, with no easy development tools like Apple is supplying.
  13. Are you freaking kidding me?!? That's horseshit! Apple probably just saw the price-tag on it, and passed it through.
  14. That was a wasteful 300 MB download. Green artifact still there on lyrics fadeout, mail still not working, and same fugly dashboard dock.
  15. Well, do iPod touches count? NetNewsWire SportsTap (probably get rid of this, it is the same freaking thing as their web-app) AIM WeatherBug Remote Google Mobile App Last.fm (Jailbreak version was so much better ) eBay Mobile PayPal Movies.app Blip Solitare Sudoku (Free) No payware yet. Developers haven't convinced me that they can make quality apps, that aren't we-apps or use something else I can get for free.
  16. I'm glad I was on the road to miss the Apple server pandemonium. Everything works fine after the 2.0 upgrade on my touch. I am thinking about jailbreaking it, mostly for theming. I wish the Wallpaper in Settings would actually be, I don't know, the Wallpaper. And adding custom icons, not to mention the god-awful icons these developers are using. C'mon, Apple, put a customizing app in the App Store! And there is this little problem with my MobileMail app crashing on execution. Oi. P.S., Apple, while you are adding these fixes, GIVE ME BACK MY AUTO-REFLECTIVE DOCK!
  17. He's a big geek. My introduction to him was when he subbed for an absent Leo LaPorte on Call For Help on the now defunct TechTV, and eventually became the full time host when Leo left the show to do The Screen Savers full time. I remember his site being www.lockergome.com, it looks like it is still active, but not how I remember it. Unfortunately, when G4 infected TechTV, both Chris and Leo (and every other good thing about TechTV) where dropped in favor of the crappy T&A orientated, monkey following programming of G4; my attention faded. Well, Adam and Morgan was the last crusade for TechTV, but even they gave into the bottomless pit of G4. Can you sense my hatred for G4? I try to make it subtle. I know there is life beyond TechTV for all of the people I loved to watch, it just became difficult to follow, so I gave up. Maybe I should give another shot?
  18. Holy crap! I never heard of this! But I am very interested.
  19. Thanks guys! Sorry, I couldn't respond sooner. I've been away visiting my brother, and I have had little time to check back, things like that usually go uninterrupted . Nice to see some old faces, and it is always good to see new ones.
  20. There is no doubt that FireFox 3 is faster than 2 on Mac, and frankly, I am happy it did get faster, because FF2 was slow as crap.
  21. Hmm, maybe I'm too purist, but I kinda like Safari more. I haven't installed Safari 4 yet (I downloaded it, but I want to make sure my latest project will work on the previous version), but I love the latest 3 version. FireFox 3 is fine, I have no real problems with it, I am just accustomed to the beauty of Safari.
  22. MSN, really? And to think I had a great deal of respect to residence of the UK . I checked, Chat does as well. At least, it has an option to set up an MSN account (I don't have one to test out). I know MSN likes to change their login every now and then.
  23. Summerboard to customize the Spring board. Chat or Apollo for IM. I am partial to Chat. BossPrefs to disable unneeded services. MobileScrobbler, it you use Last.fm Car Park, Dominoes, Solitare, iZoo (with Bejeweled theme), and Pool for when you get bored and want to play games.
