Also, keep this in mind: even though it's a massive multinational like WB, the service sounds very nice while its userbase still remains within the thousands. Speak to me again when you got them in the millions, and let's see how well you fare.

I'll just quote myself from elsewhere.
In other words, color me HIGHLY skeptical.
Sounds interesting, but even though it's WB backing this, unless they have city-sized mainframe-powered datacenters, the moment it gets a few million people logged in is the moment its nose meets the wall. I'm not saying it'll be a complete failure, but I'm not exactly thrilled because of the backlash this could generate.

RMX likes it = higher recommendation for me.
As soon as I'm done with Kyouran Kazoku Nikki and Kannagi, I'll set this on the download queue, behind Akane Iro Ni Somaru Saka and Kyou no Go no Ni.

Off The Wall / Re: Do you write?
« on: March 22, 2009, 05:53:12 PM »
Yeah, I write, writing being one of my favorite pastimes for dumping my moods and general humor.
I've written lots of stuff, from original tales, poetry and scripts, to game-, anime- and literature-based fan fiction. Some of it I've published, some of it I haven't.
And I need to get back into writing soon -- I've been in a bit of a slump lately.

Off The Wall / Re: Much Ado About Internet Explorer 8
« on: March 20, 2009, 03:59:21 PM »The good part about Firefox is (and I don't know about this for Chrome, though I kind of doubt it), whenever it shuts down unexpectedly, it keeps what pages you visited memorized until you manually close them out so that you can just restart Firefox and go back to browsing while closing the tab that screwed you up before it has a chance to load up again.Chrome feature since day one. Not only that, it'll also save whatever tabs (and their history too!) you had open at the time of closing the browser window. (A feature I abuse for site- and design-testing purposes like you wouldn't imagine.)

I took the liberty to unlock this thread to point out a few things. Indeed, IE8 is out, and against all predictions, it looks rather good.
Problem is, not good enough.
- Chrome still leads in the UI organization department -- having the tabs at the top of everything else makes much more sense than having them at content level, and seeing everything over them (address bar, etc.) magically change as you switch from tab to tab. IE loses here, as well as Fx. You CAN make Fx behave like this with an extension, though, giving it extra points over IE.
- IE8 now has tab "grouping" by use of tab coloring. I dunno you people, but I find that feature to be completely useless. Tabs are isolated entities, why the [tornado fang] would I want to group them?
- Included porn mode (i.e. no traces of pages you view while in InPrivate Browsing mode). Chrome has had this since day one, Fx has had this for YEARS (through the use of extensions, admittedly, but Fx wouldn't be a fraction of what it is without the extensions).
- Third-party additions to the browser are even scarcer than before (considering there WERE a couple of addons for IE that were admittedly decent) because the implementation model has changed from IE7, which used the same addon framework as IE6. Some of them work as part of their legacy support, but possibilities of something breaking are higher than those of water being wet.
- Reportedly, it's faster than both Chrome, Fx and Opera. Mind you, these are in-house tests, probably made with pages made to work specifically with all the bullshit IE's rendering engine has done ever since it started. We'll talk when you have a decent userbase, Microsoft.
- Tab processes are isolated from each other, akin to Chrome. This is a step in the right direction; if one tab crashes, it won't take the entire window down with it. Fx will have to rework its development model to adapt to this, because when one of its tabs crashes, since the software is written as a single-process entity, the entire application goes down (all windows of it). One plus point for MS over Fx and Opera.
Can't think of any other stuff right now. When I install it locally and test it out I'll make sure to post any updates and stuff I find.

Off The Wall / Re: iPods
« on: March 19, 2009, 02:56:56 AM »
I have an iPod, but it's a Shuffle, since I don't really believe in the concept of "organized playlists" and merely like to listen to the music I like. Thus, I rather like the fact that it's got no screen, nearly no buttons, and that using a little piece of free software (that runs from the iPod itself when connected as an USB drive), I can load/unload any song(s) I want without any hassle.
True, it's only 2GB, but why the hell do I need more than that? I even still have nearly a gig empty.
