12 Days of Joyswag: Xbox 360 S plus 'Games for the Holidays,' A World of Keflings, Raskulls, and ilomilo

I got a gift card to walmart. :(

A new 360 sure would spice things up. :D

Microsoft leaks plans for a Windows 8 app store

Obligatory:

I thought windows already had an app store: the internet.

Google Street View removes images of secret UK sites

Mar 22nd 2010 10:13PM (Download Squad)
I for one am GLAD that they blocked Google street view from assisting terrorists with photos of places like MI5 HQ. It makes it so much safer from terrorists because now you can't find ANY photographs of these places anywhere, not even with a simple search like this: http://images.google.com/images?q=MI5+headquarters






....oh wait

Verizon goes after Sprint's 'most dependable 3G network' ad claim

Different towers, but Sprint does ROAM on Verizon towers.

It's kinda like getting the best of both worlds.

Old Man IE6 shakes fist as Firefox surpasses him in browser share

Nov 5th 2009 1:09PM (Download Squad)
The point though isn't about the share of all versions of ie, just 6. The point also isn't about how Firefox is the favorite son. The point is ie6 is the bane of the internet and the fact that a singular alternative browser like Firefox (regardless of which version the user is running) has overtaken ie6 FINALLY is a significant triumph. So including ie7 and 8 is irrelevant because both of those do a significantly better job than ie6. Once ie6 is totally obsolete, THEN the other details become relevant.

Old Man IE6 shakes fist as Firefox surpasses him in browser share

That's not reliable data. Straight from that site:

"W3Schools is a website for people with an interest for web technologies. These people are more interested in using alternative browsers than the average user. The average user tends to use Internet Explorer, since it comes preinstalled with Windows. Most do not seek out other browsers.

These facts indicate that the browser figures above are not 100% realistic. Other web sites have statistics showing that Internet Explorer is used by at least 80% of the users."


Given the above, those stats cannot be relied on as a good snapshot of average total browser share when targeting a general public.

Microsoft extends XP downgrade availability to 2011. When will it end?

Jun 19th 2009 10:26PM (Engadget)
I don't see what all this stupid hype is about this "Windows" program! It sounds just like unstable bloatware to me! From what I understand it doesn't even have a true and proper console mode!! WHAT WERE MICROSOFT THINKING.

Besides that all of the software I use isn't supported yet on anything beyond what I have. I CAN'T upgrade until they do.

I'm just so much more familiar and productive with my current OS and I don't know WHY Microsoft have attempted so vigorously to kill it off!

Yes, I don't think I'll EVER get rid of my beloved OS...







MS-DOS 6.22 FOREVER!!

@AVG: "You're just miming a series of dots on a screen."

I hate to break it to you, but when you perform REAL music for a REAL audience, all you've done is still just memorize a series of dots (albeit on paper, rather than a screen).

(Trust me, I was bad nerd.)

GameTap: Emulation 'complexity' holding back Panzer Dragoon Saga

May 15th 2009 8:09AM (Joystiq)
What's the point? GameTap has been horribly broken ever since the switch to browser plugin. (Why oh why a plugin? Worst idea ever.)
