I bought a kindle for my Wife and I can tell you it needs more than an on the fly upgrade. She found the screen background to be too dark, without enough contrast. So she made the fonts bigger to compensate. This caused her to turn the page more and that made her thumb sore from turning the page so much. It needs a better screen and a better lighter touch turn page button. An otherwise terrific device.
Um. John I’m sorry but I am going to have to call you a complete dumbass on this one. Assassin’s Creed is a game with a story based on Third Crusade in the Holy Land in the 1100’s. It attempts to tell the stories of eight men who mysteriously died during the Crusades. The next game is a follow up to the original. Do a little homework, John. I’m a PC gamer and I will have to wait until February until the title hits the PC, a “real” gaming platform. So don’t be a douche bag and count out all the smart people.
Try not to look like a dumbass, Dvorak. I might stop generating traffic to your site.
Nobody wants to do anything about the global warming fraud because it’s all coming down from the Bilderberg, who are real-life Dr. No’s.
John:
IBM’s “upgrades” usually involved a gear change rather than a belt change….
Their rationale was that the slower machine wore more slowly, and required less frequent service. Most of these boxes were rented at the time, which made this an advantage for IBM, AND, they could market the less expensive machine as needed.
They weren’t totally honest about this – “upper management” at the client companies probably never understood any of this, but the workers in the trenches usually knew all about it. Some of us knew how to wrap electrical tape around a pulley, too, getting a substantial speed increase out of some devices.
(The hardware was kinda slow in those days. Timing issues between the CPU and the peripherals were generally handled by magic….)
I put up Chrome OS yesterday on my netbook with Virtual Box. While this is pre-Alpha, I can see Microsoft being boarded up and a chain across the parking lot entrance.
