    While I do not like apple's business practices, their products are not bad. I was still saddened when I heard he was passing, its still sad that he finally did. RIP Steve Jobs.

      Re: The "Random Thoughts" Thread

      Yeah, I like all the comments I am seeing from specific people around the world, such as protesters of corporations talking about how Apple is different. It shows how foolish and ignorant they really are with their cause.

      Steve Jobs did shape and change our world because he was not afraid to take a risk with something cutting edge to prove it would work. That is worth something to hope he does rest well.

      As for how some are actually saying how he was for good and helping people and how rightous apple is, its a sad pipe dream at best or a delusion to accept that because these people use these products to protest the very things Apple does daily.

      Wozniak has said how its "disturbing news." and has not said much else.

        Re: The "Random Thoughts" Thread

        Hmmm... Hypothetical question... (mainly because I have not tried to get a hackintosh up and running for a while and have no time):

        Would it be more repectful, if a Primary windows user with a hackintosh on their PC, used OSx through the hackintosh Exclusively for a week, or not use it at all?

        Two sides to this: Respectful because they are using the operating system that was made by jobs... But Disrespectful because apple tried to get the project shut down but failed... What do you think TGN? A bit of (low grade) computer philosophy that I thought up while on a break at work...

          They sent me a modem and stuff, but it didn't get any DSL signal. Called back and the order was cancelled by engineering because indeed service isn't actually available where I live.

            I wouldnt think that would be respectful because you are stealing the innovation everyone is talking about. Or, maybe by treating it as well as a PC, you are sending a statement that OSX is worth stealing like other PC titles.

            Or am I way off on that?

              Well from what I have read, a Hackintosh is legal provided certain factors... But

              Also, on the subject of networks Iwant, our one has been fucking up lately. Tis annoying, but I can't help my dad who is going on about how youtube won't work and how he can't access his emails, despite me being able to do most things with a Quite a bit of slow down. Still can't Identify the problem to ask, but my dad might be going to the ISP to check.

                        guys my laptop has two 2gb ddr2 ram sticks, would upgrading those to two 2gb ddr3, or to two 4gb ddr3 ram sticks improve my gaming performance at all? I mean, would switching from DDR2 to DDR3 improve my bf3 performance?

                          Well you need a DDR3 compatible motherboard, which on a laptop is generally something you can't replace IIRC.

                            Yeah, match up your ram with what your motherboard can do. usually it cannot mix like that.

                            Either way, upgrading to 4 will help a little, but I doubt visually.

                                Best birthday ever, I must say. Didn't get too drunk, but I played a show with the Seattle Rock Orchestra (in Seattle of course). Had a crazy after party with some amazing band members. They made me drink a lot of rum hahaha. Spent the entire night with this wonderful girl and then we got breakfast in the morning.
