The Computer/Tech/Gadgets/Software Thread

ATI 5800 series shows its face.

…need to start putting a bit of money away now.

Augmented Realityup in this piece!

don’t know what augmented reality is? [media=youtube]tN85gPrL0es"[/media]

What’s a good capture card? I’m looking for an external one that I can use to record stuff from my TV.

After trying it out, iTunes 9 is really nice… but that memory usage is ridiculous.

Thats why I hate Apple’s software. Its like they make progs for ppl with top of the line hardware only.

Actually… scratch that.

iTunes memory footprint was at 186k, it dropped to 43k. Weird.

It does feel slightly less bloaty than version 8 after awhile. iTunes Store comes up way faster.

Why the hell is the install exe 88 mb and take 10 minutes to install? Smh.

That’s weird, mine only took about 2 minutes to install. It runs pretty slim on my Intel C2D 2.4 ghz and 4gb of DDR3 Dual Channel Memory

LOL, I was exaggerating a bit. But iTunes always takes a long time to install for some reason.

Apple needs to stop bundling Quicktime with it. No one uses that shitty player.

Quicktime is the junk…I mean it, it’s really a piece of junk. :wink:

Mine took like 10-15 minutes. Installing iTunes is a bitch. And yeah I hate Quicktime.

Step by step:

  1. play basketball for 5 hours
  2. don’t shower
  3. repeat the next day
  4. drink milk until you shit soup
  5. take a shit upside down
  6. don’t shower
  7. the next day, get a towel and wipe the Quicktime off your balls.

The fact that iTunes requires QT to be installed is a bigger bitch.

I use QT Lite which supplies just the plugins and not the player. But right now I can’t even open iTunes because QT Lite has an older version of the the plugins that iTunes 9 doesn’t use.

Apple and I have a love/hate relationship

Since last night I had trouble loading the Facebook chat with Trillian. Anybody else having the same problem?

^Did you Astra Pro features run out? Mine just did…

So Facebook integration doesn’t work if you’re not in Astra Pro? I dunno I haven’t checked if it has expired.

Yeah, I mentioned it before but a looooot of Astra’s best features are Pro only, including different colors of themes.

You can go the legal route and buy it, or use a hacked trillian.exe

Cracked software ftw ^-^

You got a link for that cracked exe? PM it?

I sooooo need that pm.

Check your pms.

This love/hate thing with me and Firefox has to stop. I uninstalled Opera and I’m running FF again along with Chrome. If only this shit didn’t eat so much memory… damn…
