RaptorCK commented on MSI Wind Running Mac OS X Also Thinks It's a Mac Pro

"@Kaiser-Machead's Chips Ahoy!: Well, the MacBook and the Air have pretty much the same footprint, which is (no pun intended) Sasquatchian in nature."

"You know, everyone's obsessing over the look."

RaptorCK commented on Question of the Day: Do You Actually Want a Tiny Laptop?

RaptorCK commented on All Things D: World Debut of Guitar Hero 4

"Damn those guys at Harmonix, ripping off of Guitar Hero and Karaoke Revolution!"

RaptorCK commented on Eagle With Prosthetic Beak Will Be Better, Stronger, Faster

"@WilCon: Oh, bull. The eagle *already* got shot in the face."

RaptorCK commented on Kickstart: First Blackberry Flip Phone Needs a Kick in the Design Pants

"I've got a Pearl, and I'm happy enough with SureType."

RaptorCK commented on VW Busbretta Isn't Quite Humiliating Enough

"@WesleyJ: If you're riding bitch on some chick's scooter, I'd keep in mind that you're pretty damned unlikely to feel like a wimp at the end of the night. (Additionally, the ladies are far less afraid of getting on the back of a scooter than a massive track bike.)"

RaptorCK commented on Letter from a Moto Insider: How Stupid Execs Ran Moto Into the Ground

"You know, there's a fair point in how Samsung (amongst others) kick ass, and a lot of that has to do with a willingness to occasionally screw up."

RaptorCK commented on Intel Planning 6-Core "Dunnington" Microprocessor

"For workstations, eh."

RaptorCK commented on PSP Concept is Slick, Slidey Goodness

"@ripfire4: Considering you only HAVE one left button now, you would just have your index finger pointed upward, and tap in for the upper button, while bending your finger a little more for the lower button."

RaptorCK commented on HDTV and Media Center Extender Contest Winner!

"Okay, Giz, be honest."

RaptorCK commented on PSP Concept is Slick, Slidey Goodness

"I dunno, this makes a lot of sense if it's done right."

RaptorCK commented on Question of the Day: What Type of Keyboards Do You Like?

"I like loud clacky keyboards, but I use way too many laptops to really have a specific preference overall. The big things that matter to me are the layout (the model M is Godlike in that regard,) and responsiveness."

RaptorCK commented on Question of the Day: Do You Prefer Ultralight Laptops?

"@Dearhaw: The reason we're frothing at the mouth with piles of hatred for the MBA is that some of us want the same thing you do, and had the same thing you did. I ditched Apple after the Intel cutover because they didn't release a proper Intel version of my utterly beloved 12" Powerbook, quite possibly the most lovely, godlike ultraportable ever built."

RaptorCK commented on Question of the Day: Do You Prefer Ultralight Laptops?

"I'm all about the ultralights, but not about *thin* and light."

RaptorCK commented on Steve Jobs: "People Don't Read Anymore," Android Is Going Down

"Android *can* hurt Google, since they could be spreading themselves thin, but let's keep in mind that Jobs presents these things from his ivory tower, in a perfect world where everything should be Just That Simple, so long as you don't ever need to look all the way into the guts of the problem. The Apple way is to provide a device that only does what it can do perfectly."

RaptorCK commented on MacBook Pro Woes: What Should I Do Now?

"I have to wonder if Apple really just wants to bury the memory of the 12" Powerbook, which was pretty much a perfect compromise of small footprint and huge power in the G4 realm. The MacBook Air is actually BIGGER than the old PB, footprint-wise, but the entire industry wants to stroke themselves over having the thinnest computer available, it seems."
