Ick.
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

It can sure as hell close up the app gap. All BB needs is a release date for 10.2.1.

Not sayin' I like it, but many of those examples fit well with the design concept of the iPhone/iPad/iEtc lines.

I really, really like this trend towards flat designs. Screens become so much more elegant when you start remembering that they are screens, and not 3D interfaces. I just wish it would come to Android sometime soon.

Since updating the Catalyst Control Centre in preparation for BF4, I have been experiencing some problems. From BF4's discotheque screen of death, the computer now unexpectedly freezes then restarts.

Now, I am resisting a temptation to line up all QA personnel of DICE and AMD and perform decimation.

Why did Apple have to do a flat design? WHY?

In capitalism, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of being rich or poor. In communism, it's 1/99. What makes people think they have the luck/skill to become the 1% if they can't even succeed in a 50/50 society???

I found it to be disappointing. And really? Bring back Windows Media Center after I had bought it when I first updated to Windows 8 in the first place? Really Microsoft? Really?!?

Anyway, I love. I repeat I LOVE iOS 7 and my iphone. Get a nude pic from a chick and *bam* it's on my ipad, my macbook, and my PC. That way when she catches me cheating, throws away my iPhone, I can still post the pics online after we break up.

I kid, of course. I'd never admit to that publicly.

The one thing though is I wish the iphone camera and video thing had night vision.

YouTube just decides "nope, I'm going to transfer you back to desktop every single time you refresh the page! Lolololol.".

What idiot at Microsoft thought "hey, everyone hates Windows updates, let's make them even more annoying by removing the option to postpone them"?
