Valid point. I should have said “Pathetic asshole continues to confirm what is already widely understood.”

A confirmation made by idiots doesn’t have much weight though.

Only assholes think it’s ok to use retard as an insult.

I completely agree. I did not use it as an insult.

I’ll play your ridiculous game even though I already know the answer. How was it not an insult?

JEDIT: Fuck it, you’re just a troll and you’ve already gotten what you want. Respond however you like, you’re still an asshole, you’ll never stop being an asshole, and I’m not going to respond to any of your subsequent posts on this topic.

Even though Frink usually pisses me off he’s right. My cousin is mentally disabled and I have come to realize that using the word “retard” as an insult can be very offensive to myself and others who have a close family member who is mentally disabled. I hate to see her used as an example to insult others who aren’t mentally disabled. That’s really what makes it hurt… It’s not that they’re directly insulting her but it’s that they’re degrading her to degrade others. It’s just a rude awful way of insulting someone. There’s a vast amount of other ophtions that don’t degrade people like my cousin (dick, jerk, asshole, etc.).

More on why Windows is terrible:

Is that Marco Arment’s podcast? It’s Mac users like those that help explain why PC users think we’re all smug morons who can’t use any consumer product without an “i” in front of the name.

And that’s even before getting into the technical aspects they don’t understand. No Man’s Sky, which they purchased for Windows because it wasn’t available for their PS4 and they didn’t want to buy an Xbox, is available on…PS4, not Xbox. I don’t feel sorry for anyone who spends a day trying to get Windows running because they didn’t spend 30 seconds researching the game first. Dur.

Also, lol at trying to run any current game, let alone that game, on a 5K display with iMac graphics hardware and expecting good framerates. Double dur.

And lol again at installing Windows via Bootcamp on an external drive on a MacBook Pro, then acting surprised that it needed to install different drivers when connected to an iMac. Do these people even know how computers work?

It’s like you didn’t even listen. Marco pointed out the game his wife was trying to play was Inside, not No Man’s Sky.

John pointed out all the things that Marco did wrong, which I mostly agree with. But there’s still some valid criticism there: The “graphics driver crashed but it has recovered” message is totally unnecessary. You shouldn’t have to worry about activating Windows.

And Marco should at least know something about how computers work, as he does do programming professionally.

Your computer restarted because of a problem.

This isn’t much better, and incidentally, I see it way more often these days since OS X’s famous stability has gone downhill. Also, MS has traditionally been a software company, not a hardware company, so giving away the OS doesn’t exactly fit their business model. I get why it requires an activation key and phones home to register.

It’s like you didn’t even listen. Marco pointed out the game his wife was trying to play was Inside, not No Man’s Sky.

I played it at 2x. It was like listening to paint dry. Now I know what it’s like to listen to nerds talk about computers, so I think I’m done with this thread. I’ll also never talk about computers again in front of anyone else, because I think the U.N. could classify it as torture.

There may be an explanation, but that doesn’t change the nature of the problem. Apple sold software for years and never asked for an activation key. (You could draw an analogy to the iTunes Store and the DRM on there, but that’s mostly the content owner’s fault, not Apple’s)

Apparently thousands of people don’t.

The fact that the iPad does not have a back button is the stupidest thing ever.

The back button has a fundamental flaw: You don’t know what you’re going back to. It could be anything. That’s user hostile behavior.

The way iOS handles this is better, and gives more clarity. You understand exactly what’s going on when you click a back button. That’s better for the user, and avoids confusion. If a user is constantly confused by a paradigm, they’re more likely to stop using it.

That’s insane. What I’m going back to is the previous thing I was on. Apps without immediately obvious back buttons, or any back button at all, are the fundamental flaw…and thus the iPad is a fundamental flaw.

If I recall correctly, the application decides what the back button means, which could be anything at all, and not the previous “thing.”

A statement with no good logic is as useless as no statement.

I’m confused, are you referring to a specific app that doesn’t have a back button or do you literally want the iPad itself to have a back button?

He wants the latter.
