    ***The iOS 5 Thread***

    Hooray you can use banners instead of them horrible badges. :cool: How? Everything I said was true, are you saying Apple didn't lift most these ideas from Android and jailbroken applications? Very silly if so. I don't get the rage. Companies copy each other. Moving on. Edit: I'm looking...

    iOS5 will now make it viable to ditch laptop for an iPad?

    I don't see the point. What if your circumstances change and you decide you want more from the device? You'll end up losing money or spending more. The iPad is good to pick up and track some information down, but I'd not want to use it as my only 'computer' and I think you'd start to get...

    OS X Lion family pack?

    I don't think they have, although to be honest it doesn't bother me, I understand Microsoft want you to enter a serial and all as it can combat piracy just a little bit. While it's cool Apple are more lax about that stuff it's more important for Microsoft, they have the largest market share so...

    Should I be worried?

    Well now I'm confused as I booted into Ubuntu and ran the disk utility on that, it says the status of everything is good. So why is HDtune highlighting them? Okay after some Googling it seems every Seagate 1tb drive is getting the same results as me. Guess it's no big deal.

    Should I be worried?

    I just got this drive, is this in danger or something? I'm not entirely sure how to decipher the info on this page but my other, much older drive doesn't have any highlights like this.

    Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear. You have no clue what you are talking about. I shall take my leave with this silly 1080P discussion now.

    I think it's a no brainer that the next gen of consoles are all going to be 1080P. You can get a 1080P TV for like $350 in the US now I think. It's gonna happen.

    The difference will be bigger on a projector because the screen area is much larger. I've already said that distance and screen size are the important factors here. 37", 5 feet back, 1080P vs 720P Blu-Ray is identical. I've tested it myself, either way Band of Brothers was looking fantastic.

    I put that in my edit before your post. Way to jump the gun. Displays can scale themselves, hence the confusion.

    No need for the insult. Vs. *** Please keep personal remarks to yourself - Thank you *** On a monitor, that is 1920x1080 native ANY resolution below it is going to look substantially worse. TVs however, are much, much, much better at scaling. The result is 720P content can look...

    Uhh...HALP - Windows Backup

    Oh great! Went to computer management, down to disk management and I had 335Gb of unallocated space so just extended that. Awesome. Windows Backup worked really well in the end then. So glad I decided to start backing up as my DeskStar died out of the blue with no warning. Only lost 3 days...

    I bought a 1080P TV in 2008, so good job there Einstein. I'm sure you can notice the difference easily when you're up close, as can I. You totally disregarded my point about distance being the key factor. Congrats on that ignorance.

    Uhh...HALP - Windows Backup

    Ok so I just restored a system image of a RAID setup onto a new 1tb hard drive, I'm back on Windows now but it's still showing my old RAID setup in My Computer and not showing my new drive at all. But when I right click on the drive it shows that it's my new 1tb drive, it just shows it as 596gb...

    1080P is a great thing for PC, because of how close you are to your monitors. (I am a PC gamer mostly, anything below native looks like ass on monitors) You get the full benefits of the resolution when you're that close to the screen. For console gaming the overwhelming majority are sat at a...

    GT5 Prologue doesn't really count as 1080P as we all know that's referred to as 1920x1080 really. But yeah, a few games certainly can do it. Really though, give me 720P and improved textures/particle effects/anti-aliasing/draw-distance over 1080P any day. On PC it's different as I'm sat so...

    I don't care for 1080P on console either, it only makes a difference depending on how far away you sit and how large your TV is. Alan Wake ran at some crazy low, 560P or something resolution yet it's one of the best looking games on the console. Resolution is not the be and end all.

    When I heard that name I honestly face palmed, I did laugh though as it seemed like he was expecting applause when he announced this and the "New Super Mario Brothers Mii" cringe.
