September 3, 200817 yr comment_31911 I already explained in great deal what Google Chrome does that no other browser atm does. Each tab has its own process, despite what you think, that does not exist on any other browser in existence, other than Google Chrome. Secondly, Javascript runs insanely fast, 20x faster than Safari, the previous fastest browser out there. It's so fast because they've made JavaScript a virtual machine, and in a sense actually compiles the code, which makes it blazing fast. No other browser does this. Thirdly, each tab is 'sandboxed', meaning it has no affect on any other tab in the window, or your system, meaning the site has no access to read cookies unless that site specifically put them there, stopping the age old problem of session hijacking. Fourthly Chrome manages your systems memory in an incredibly efficient way. I'm not smart enough to explain this one, but basically with every other browser, even with Safari on the Mac, the more tabs and windows you open, the more memory you use, of-course, simple enough. Problem is when you have loads of tabs, you're using a lot of memory, so you close the tabs, so your ram usage for that application has lowered, right? Wrong. You're still using a lot of ram, as fragments get left behind, and the application doesn't shrink as far as it could. Google Chrome has solved this. That's just four things that it does that no other browser does, but there are some more. Look it all up, MacBoy
September 3, 200817 yr comment_31912 Meh, will try it when I open up boot camp :DAny ideas how to take the timelag off my CAPS LOCK key? Kinda annoying when I TYPE LIKE THIS WHEN I WANT TO TRYPE CAPITALISED!Ta.
September 3, 200817 yr Author comment_31914 Any ideas how to take the timelag off my CAPS LOCK key? Kinda annoying when I TYPE LIKE THIS WHEN I WANT TO TRYPE CAPITALISED!Ta.Get a PC, my CAPS lock works just FINE
September 3, 200817 yr comment_31915 There shouldn't be any lag WITH THE CAPS LOCK KEY. Like I just demonstrated there. Ensure you're actually pressing the key, as the new keyboards have a feature to prevent you from accidentally striking it mid typing. And Marc, we don't want your freakin' stinking PC so SHUT THE HELL UP. See my caps works fine.

Ensure you're actually pressing the key, as the new keyboards have a feature to prevent you from accidentally striking it mid typing. And Marc, we don't want your freakin' stinking PC so SHUT THE HELL UP. See my caps works fine.Yeah, I don't really have a habit of having to *stab* the key. It really would be dandy if I could turn that function off.
September 3, 200817 yr comment_31917 You don't need to stab it, you just press it like any other key. It's when you strike it from an angle or softly, it won't come on. It's to do with springs in the key, to prevent the age old problEM OF ACCIDENTALLY TYPING CAPS LOCK MID SENTENCE. f**k.

September 9, 200817 yr comment_32244 program helloWorldbegin Write("Hello World"); ReadIn;end.How cute. Phills first Pascal program in computer science.
September 9, 200817 yr comment_32249 In programming, in all languages, the first program you ever make is one called "Hello World", and all it does is display "Hello World" on the screen, then quits. It's tradition!
September 9, 200817 yr comment_32270 Just as expected, today Apple released updated iPods! New iPod Nano Chromatic. Widescreen, and has a really cute feature "shake to shuffle", you just shake it and it plays a completly random song from your collection.The iPod touch got thinner, bigger space, volume controls and a built in speaker.iTunes got a pretty big update, with something called Genius, it goes through all your music, and then finds songs you may like based on what you already have, so its a recommendation engine. It can also make playlists based off one song, which are similiar. Been trying it out and it's working pretty well.Take a look! http://www.apple.com

(Music virgin )
September 10, 200817 yr comment_32296 I have to admit the new iPod do not impress me in the slightest, it's only Apple getting with the times. The new supposed shake control and inbuilt speaker really are pointless tbh. If I want to play music out loud, I would buy speakers, and if I wanted to shake to change/shuffle my songs, I could do that with my current phone. These ideas they are coming out with in this supposed keynote are superflous and really rather pointless. Surely if your going to bother with revamping your lines, your first point of call is how the hell can I make this product even more desirable than it already is, and if any what new ideas can I implement that have never been used before? (E.G a proper smartphone crossed with MP3 player that is versitile) All I am seeing from this is not much change except size change, and quite frankly the new nano looks like a design step too far.Don't get me wrong at all, I love my Mac, because it works exactly how I want it to, and if I really want to knock it through it's paces, the power increases, and nothing else is affected, at all. It's exactly what a computer should do. All I am seeing from Apple now is them whoring their brand out now, and it's affected my view of Apple; they seem to have just whored out their brand and not given two s**ts about it, just changed the shape and size, and added a few superflous features such as shaking or speakers. Really not impressed!Tl;dr: Do not like new ideas from Apple atm, they have just whored out their brand with their new range of Nanos.
September 10, 200817 yr comment_32297 It's nice to have a speaker there if you need it, Steve said himself it's casual listening. Apart from other cute features and slight improvements, what else CAN you do with the iPod? End of the day it's there to play music and video, and now they're branching out into games. There is only so much you can do with it, and the improvments announced yesterday make the experience just that little bit better.As for how Genius is going, it's working great, recommending some really great tracks, and MGMT albums I didn't even know existed. It's like Pandora, love it.
September 10, 200817 yr Author comment_32298 Another **** quality speaker to listen to on bus's! Thank god I drive!
