Hey, look, dude, you’re still arguing with a very arrogant attitude, and an “I know more than you because I’m an IT professional” reference point.
No matter how you might want to put it or spin it, what you have, as far as the Window 8 smartphone market is concerned, is mostly, guesswork, and a lot of fanboi type rhetoric.
Like I said, unless you are privy to the Windows 8 specs for the Windows smartphone and the Windows tablets, then, all you have is guesswork, and your IT experience isn’t going to change that.
You can throw out all the latest buzzwords you like regarding current or expected technology, but, in the end, you don’t know any more than anyone else about what Windows 8 will have as features or what it will be designed to support. Did you know that Microsoft has already stated that they’ll support the ARM processors, and thereby the smartphones and tablets which use those chips?
And then, you try to label me by calling me a “libtard” while pretending to be offended by me calling you a fanboi? Look, when somebody acts or reacts like you do when being challenged, and you retort with your supposedly superior knowledge in the IT field, then you’re just demonstrating huge arrogance. Your credibility in regards to what’s coming in the future is not necessarily enhanced by pointing to your supposedly superior talent in the IT field. Like I said, I’m in the field myself, but I don’t go around throwing that fact around in order to try to win an argument. I’m not in the hardware field, but being in the software arena, I have to understand the capabilities of the hardware which I might have to develop for, therefore, I need to prepare for whatever is coming down the pike.
Most of what you posted regarding Windows 8 is the same type of “hoping for failure” that I read so often by the detractors of anything Microsoft. And like I said, it would be wrong to have that kind of attitude if it concerned Apple or Google or IBM or any other IT company.
The argument you made, is about what Flash is about and how CPU intensive the software is, and it’s irrelevant. With the multi-core CPUs coming into existence, it may not matter much to the consumer who is not as “IT literate” as you or me. But, either way, do you know for a fact that what Microsoft has in mind is just “Flash” support, or will there be more options to come?
BTW: “libtard”? Does that sound professional to you? And then you’re going to accuse me of sounding like just a grammatically correct “high school” graduate?
The fact is that, I may be a lot more conservative than you when it comes to politics and government and issues. Are you accustomed to making conclusions about the political leanings of a person based on his/her statements/knowledge regarding IT? That would be a pretty idiotic method for critical analysis.
I think your problem is more about not taking too kindly to someone challenging your position and your uppity stance on the issue of Windows 8.
However, I would still like to know what knowledge you are privileged to know regarding Windows 8 that hasn’t been disclosed to the rest of the world.
Also, having been in the industry for, no doubt, longer than you, I do know about “Page Files, Virtual Memory, Memory Paging and Virtual Memory”, because, coming from the mainframe world, and from the massively parallel computing platforms (such as Tandem computers) I had to know how to be very savvy and conservative about memory use. Nowadays, with RAM and drive memory being so cheap, people don’t have the same worries as the “mainframers” of the past. But, like I already said, that’s irrelevant to the discussion at hand, and you don’t need to try to continue pointing out how your arguments carry more weight because of the “superior” knowledge you have in the industry. You may not be able to recognize it as arrogance, but it is.
Now, again, how does my take on this particular issue make me a “libtard”? You, yourself, sound like the typical libtard, who, when he’s not able to subdue an opponent with his side of the argument, will resort to insults or screaming.
Now, ask me about the project which I’m working on to try to get true “fair and balanced” news and information out to the world. (BTW, “fair and balanced” doesn’t mean conservative only or republican, or liberal; it means allowing all news and information and viewpoints). It’s a client/server application which will need a huge database and a huge amount of hardware, with the potential of many millions of daily users, and the potential to draw a large amount of traffic away from Google and Yahoo and Microsoft and all the major news organizations, while generating it’s own traffic. Now, remember, I said “potential”, and that’s because, my system isn’t out there yet. (Yeah, I know, this last paragraph is kind of tangential, but, I would need all kinds of gadgets to be able to connect to my system, including Windows 8 tablets and smartphones, and those based on iOS and Android, and the major OSes, and for all of that, I don’t care who wins the battle of the OSes or the hardware).
Oh, one last thing:
In order to get a message out, one doesn’t need much more than a high-school education in communications skills. When things are kept simple, you tend to reach more people. There’s no need to over-complicate matters. Logic and common sense don’t require that someone be a communications major. ;)
Any facts to back up your bloat? Anything?
I carefully explained that EVERY cycle burns power. I explained Memory Thrash to the level that even you comprehend it, no; scratch that. You went on to prove that you don't.
All you have done, is attack the messenger - on some presumed 'arrogance' that you are projecting.
I never said I was in the IT field - that's YOU projecting. I'm an engineer - I'm a lead on one of the teams that designs what makes these devices work.
But, what would I know .... obviously you know better ... so, please present some facts. Share what you know, it should take maybe an entire paragraph.
The argument you made, is about what Flash is about and how CPU intensive the software is, and it’s irrelevant. With the multi-core CPUs coming into existence, it may not matter much to the consumer who is not as “IT literate” as you or me.
God, I hope you are an intern. If not, take your diploma back to your college and demand your money back. Every cycle burns power - and a quad-core burns MORE energy per clock cycle than single core. Transistors burn energy - it's what they do. The whole point of making an ASIC (look it up) is to reduce power consumption. Apple uses the ARM processor, coupled with PowerVR graphics to build a custom ASIC. Now, why in the world would they do a thing like that? Hint: 10+ hrs batter life on a charge.
I tire of trying to teach an ignoramous who refuses to learn. Educate yourself, learn some facts and when you know SOMETHING, let me know.
I took the time to point out the S-I-N features, because you are using those tactics - and like a Libtard, you respond using those tactics. Present some facts, some rationale - Don't attack me, defend your statements (there's a difference - hint: facts are involved).
