In Topic: Chrome 27 Stable is 5% Faster!

5% here, 3% there, 6% here....

I always wonder, will there come a time where Chrome will just load pages instantly?

There will come a time where Chrome itself loads pages instantly and the only real limitation would be the speed of our internet connection. I think that is Google's aim with Chrome.

In Topic: Interesting Win 8 Stat: Most Win 8 users do not use Metro apps

You are right FalseAgent. Apps are the future but I don't like how Microsoft tried to mix desktop and modern apps.

 

Btw, I use Metro apps all the time.

Me too, I don't really like how they did that either. It's really weird to switch between apps using gestures in Metro, and then using the taskbar to switch between apps in the Desktop. Would be great if we had one mechanism for both, like how Alt+Tab in Windows 8 shows both desktop apps and metro apps together. That is awesome (and hilarious).

 

I want to use only 1 app launcher - the start screen, and 1 task switcher - the metro multitasking 'thumbnail drawer', for both desktop apps and metro apps. Things could have been alot more simplified but alas, Microsoft needs to preserve backwards compatibility on the goddamn desktop.


In Topic: Xbox One revealed!

Stop dick riding man. I owned both consoles and even preferred the 360.... but the Xbox One?
Pre owned games requires me to pay full price? They're basically telling me the physical copy I bought isn't mine... since I won't be able to lend it to a friend. It's ridiculous. What does that mean for companies that lend games? LoveFilm, Blockbuster etc they've completely killed the rental companies which quite frankly are way way WAY cheaper way of gaming, with LoveFilm I could order up to 3 games a week, finish them both, send them back for £10 a month. That means in one month I can potentially play 12 brand new games all of which cost at least £40-50 these days if they're new saving me a minimum of £470 (480 minus the 10 i pay a month for the service). I hope for Sony's sake they don't follow down this route and focus on what a console should be focusing on and that is GAMES. Sure the X1 (new abbreviation?! I wanna go on record for coining it :P ) has cool features but regardless of what we have seen so far, the pre-owned free is them shooting themselves in the foot. Actually, make that the head. It will piss alot of people off, gamers mostly and put off parents from buying it for their kids because of them know they'll have to shell out more than they have been on previous consoles.

What the hell man. All I did was to point out that more of the gaming stuff would be shown at E3. I thought Tataarujin was referring to the lack of game on show.

Anyway I do agree with you about having to pay the full price of a used game, that pricing model move is so unnecessary. I also think that Xbox Live should be free just like PSN if Microsoft is serious about it's competition.

Come on, admit it, be proud of it ;)

Dude. No. Am I wrong for thinking that WIndows 8 is the correct direction and strategy for PC's in the future?
