i'm getting a new pc and an ipad!
finally this job is starting to get less crappy
( manolith - six seasons and a movie, Mon 19 Mar 2012, 9:41, archived)

My PC was brand new when I started here, problem is it's got 8gb RAM with only a 32-bit OS
And 4gb RAM isn't enough.
The guys I work with and myself know more about computers than the guys in Technical Systems.

I'm having a good day today.
But the conversation was about computers which made me think about how mine could be slightly better, so I can do my job properly.

iPad?? Nice one!
I'm getting a Dell E6420...I'm not too up on these things but it looks pretty cool. Certainly better than this one anyway. But then a Major Morgan would be an upgrade.

yep, the new one too
i'm not sure what PCs we'll be getting

Yeah, mine's about 4 years old now
It's just so slow. It'll be good to be able to start work less than half and hour after switching the machine on.

( spangolin - the odds are good but the goods are odd, Mon 19 Mar 2012, 10:26, archived)

hah, yeah, although it does have some gpod obes.
And eventually it'll catch up with android what with development being easier and Win8 pushing it through.

I do like their square homescreen setup, it's very pretty
we had a play with the Lumia and Massive Lumia at the Nokia exhibit at SXSW. The cameras on them are good.

How was SXSW?

( JackAction Give me all your expensive brandy and hubcaps., Mon 19 Mar 2012, 10:46, archived)

pretty good actually, I didn't have a badge for the talks unfortunately
but there were lots of free parties to go to, free food, drinks, t-shirts etc. And did lots of networking. I don't know how Austin will cope each year as it gets bigger and bigger, mind.

I found out that Cadence Weapon and Saul Williams were playing the same show about a week before and got really disappointed that I wasn't going.
Also the cast of Parks & Recreation were there.

also mark henry was there

( manolith - six seasons and a movie, Mon 19 Mar 2012, 11:22, archived)

yeah, me too, and the main apps i use are built in anyway.
The camera on the Lumia 800 doesn't compare to HTC though.

Thing is though, the phone is great.
And the OS is brilliant.
It's just the fact that noone makes apps for it that's bloody annoying!
:'(
( MONO!, Mon 19 Mar 2012, 10:26, archived)

because only 5 people worldwide have Windows phones
if I was an app developer I'd make apps for iphones. Because app developers need to eat and pay their rent and all that.
( spangolin - the odds are good but the goods are odd, Mon 19 Mar 2012, 10:29, archived)

there still is a big userbase, and with the likes of PhoneGap, it makes it no extra work.
In MarketPlace, you can be No.1 where as on iOS, there are 100s who have done the same.

is it mostly paid apps or free apps on windows phones?

We can do. I keep getting comic book character options in games against people who don't have a clue about comic books. I've had Aquaman and Riddler in a game with my mum and she didn't get either of them.
