blendmaster1024: follows linky
kurros: narf
blendmaster1024: wait, i thought there was a post from the last few days about it being official?
blendmaster1024: is confuzzled
mikeplus64: blendmaster1024: Yeah, 'official' in the sense that no one from Valve or anywhere else for that matter has actually confirmed it's 'officialness' .
mikeplus64: Also known as a 'rumour'.
kurros: wink wink nudge nudge
blendmaster1024: mikeplus64, but what about the article *on phoronix* that references that valve ... well, said so?

RobertH-AU: Hello all. I'm building a new Linux box and I'm planning to use a Core i5 750 CPU. Does anyone know if the performance issues raised in the review are completely fixed?

Sleepy_Coder: is what that made me think of.
mikeplus64: Oh dear.
mikeplus64: In my primary school ( no idea what the equivalent in non-Australian schools is lol ) the teachers would always just get people to play that when all-else failed.
mikeplus64: "The projector isn't working. Let's play ''Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?'!"

d2kx: so who is watching church service with steve jobs
Sir_Brizz: blah blah blah ipad
d2kx: they're talking about fucking farmville. what the...
Sir_Brizz: hahaha
Sir_Brizz: is there a livestream of the video for this thing somewhere?
d2kx: nah apple does not allow livestreams... you need to live with liveblogs
d2kx: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/steve-jobs-live-from-wwdc-2010/?sort=newest&refresh=0
Sir_Brizz: yeah I'm watching that one
d2kx: "With Farmville on the iPhone, you'll be able to farm anytime, anywhere. But I'm most excited about how good tractoring just got."
d2kx: exciting
Sir_Brizz: how good did tractoring just get?
Sir_Brizz: oh boy... guitar hero...
d2kx: guitar hero on iphone. seriously?
Sir_Brizz: AWESOME it looks just like TapTap and Rock Band
Sir_Brizz: I might get it though $2.99.... maybe they will keep their song lists up to date
Sir_Brizz: oh brother
Sir_Brizz: what an idiot
Sir_Brizz: lol
Sir_Brizz: Wow, ha. A check made out to "developers" for a billion!
d2kx: ok iphone 4 now i think
Sir_Brizz: I hope so...
Sir_Brizz: oh blah blah blah we are scared of Android
Sir_Brizz: next
d2kx: yeah android devices are selling faster than iphones nowadays
d2kx: just a matter of time
Sir_Brizz: he wouldn't have even mentioned it if they weren't scared of what is happening
d2kx: 10:31AM "We're introducing iPhone 4."
thomashc: iphone 4?
d2kx: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/steve-jobs-live-from-wwdc-2010/?sort=newest&refresh=0
Sir_Brizz: yes yes it looks nice
Sir_Brizz: give us more real info please
Nevtus: is this a live steam of this apple propaganda speech?
Nevtus: *is there
Sir_Brizz: lol
Sir_Brizz: apple turned off the wifi
ryan22: lol
ryan22: *MUST CONTROL MEDIA EXPOSURE*
d2kx: for every small little shit feature "OH MY GOD! IT'S GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING FOREVER" "OH MY GOD YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME"
Sir_Brizz: I know
Sir_Brizz: hilarious
d2kx: just go to apple.com "iPhone 4 - This changes everything. Again."
d2kx: "OH MY GOD, TODAY WE ARE INTRODUCING A WHOLE NEW MATERIAL WE USE. WE CALL IT... ... ... ... GLASS"
Daekdroom: Glass?
Modplan: apparently they made a form of glass stronger than plastic
Daekdroom: well, why not call it plastic then? If it's not glass and it is somewhat synthetic..
Modplan: because it isn't plastic either
Daekdroom: It isn't glass either! How ironic :P
Modplan: It's hard to say anything without more details than "We made glass that's 30 times stronger than plastic!"
Daekdroom: Under which conditions, right?
Daekdroom: I mean, is it 30 times less likely to break if I let it fall on the floor?
Modplan: well, presumably that's what they would mean, but yeah, moar details needed
d2kx: shut up you non-believers
Modplan: and of course we all need to read up on our plastics and glass manufacturing....
d2kx: it's gonna change the way you live forever!
Daekdroom: Even if I don't buy it, d2kx?
d2kx: yes, and it will fix the economy also. and global warming.
alexandernst: F34R... iPhone 4G ...
Modplan: It will also save the news papers by making every body buy paperless ones
Ivanovic: honestly, the specs sound decent (really high res screen and a reasonable cpu)
Daekdroom: I think what kills it is the Apple brand.
Modplan: *cough*don'ttellanyonewedontbelievethatadnwe'regoingintoadbusiness*cough*
Ivanovic: though i don't want to know the price without some contract
d2kx: display is nice but tbh theres not too much of a difference to the google nexus one which was announced 5 month ago
Ivanovic: and of course something is missing: a way to use it with linux!
d2kx: probably 2-3 more months and HTC announces a new phone with better display again
Sir_Brizz: I'll probably get it just because AT&T has literally nothing that compares to the iPhone in it's price brakcet
Modplan: I wander how quickly the price will drop
Sir_Brizz: it's the same pricing as the 3GS
Sir_Brizz: and the 3GS is $99 now
Sir_Brizz: well
Sir_Brizz: it will be
Sir_Brizz: I'm not sure if that started immediately or not
asraniel: ah this means in the following days we will see the currently secret iphone exploits, great :)
Azerthoth: let me know when 3G hits $99 without a contract
Azerthoth: that way I have a cheap way to get an android phone
Sir_Brizz: that might happen in about 20 years
Sir_Brizz: :p
Azerthoth: they'll drop after 4G hits the market
Azerthoth: there will be a glut of them on ebay
ryan22: lol im looking forwward to the cheap androids next year
ryan22: well cheap used ones, cuz everyone will buy the androids that will compete with the iphone 4g
ryan22: meanwhile ill be happy with a cheap used nexus one ;)
Azerthoth: I'm just waiting for power management to get fixed, then buying a cheap iphone to put it on
ryan22: i have a iphone 2g atm that im pretty happy with
asherkin: < iPod Touch 1g
asherkin: is sad that he doesn't get OS 4
ryan22: eh, itll be hacked to work on the first iphones/itouches in at moment a month
ryan22: probably a week
ryan22: *at most
Azerthoth: its already ported to 3G
RambJoe: wtf is iphones whie
RambJoe: white
kurros: hmm?
RambJoe: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/iphone-4-first-hands-on/
kurros: they've had white and back models for the last 3 years...
RambJoe: oh
RambJoe: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/iphone-4-announced/
kurros: 326ppi is sick
Azerthoth: wow, iphone4 ... officially announced, there is a shock
RambJoe: 720p cam
Daekdroom: 326ppi? Overpixelized o.o
Azerthoth: to bad they are still trying to put people in jail over unofficially announcing it
RambJoe: it doesn't say the ram or cpu or shit =/=
RambJoe: i hate apple
Daekdroom: It says it uses a Apple A4 CPU.
kurros: i'm sure it's 512MB with only 256MB accessible still. doubt the A4 changed much
RambJoe: oh
RambJoe: how much mhz though
RambJoe: apparently the 3G S loaded NYT faster lol
MPX: Oh come on!
MPX: STEAM FOR LINUX CONFIRMED!!11111111111111
oNNy1: ^^
Ivanovic: pah, even better:
Ivanovic: steam soon linux exclusive!
Daekdroom: STEAM FOR LINUX WON'T HAPPEN FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS!
Ivanovic: ha, better: HL2:EP3 will be linux exclusive!
Nevtus: did the apple conference even mention the Mac Steam client?
Galaxy|: Nevtus: no
Galaxy|: -_ -
Galaxy|: they didn't mention anything but the fucking iPhone
Galaxy|: which is a big let down for everything else
Nevtus: so I guess Valve weren't holding out the Linux annoucement for apple then...
Galaxy|: nope
Ivanovic: the huge surprise on june 14th is still open!
Ivanovic: just one week left for this one...
alexandernst: what will happend the 14th ? :|
alexandernst: end of world?
Flyser_: alexandernst: valve will open source almost all parts of steam
alexandernst: Flyser_: is this confirmed? :s
Flyser_: alexandernst: why would they announce it again on th 14th if it was confirmed?
alexandernst: Flyser_: I don't know. You're confusing me... xD
alexandernst: I want steam for linux!
Flyser_: :)
alexandernst: anyways, what will happend the 14th?
Flyser_: I just told you
Nevtus: it's e3 and Valve have a "surprise"
alexandernst: oh... then they wont open source almost all parts of steam
alexandernst: they will say that... linux wont have steam xD
alexandernst: and then I'll die :(
alexandernst: crying...
Flyser_: alone
alexandernst: yep
Nevtus: they're gonna drop Steam and all their current games and only develop facebook/iphone games from now on
Flyser_: lol
Flyser_: my idea is better
alexandernst: Nevtus: what about android?
Nevtus: no, they said they don't support communist scum
Flyser_: and it's not that unrealistic that they release a few parts of steam as open source
alexandernst: aarrgg!! fuck valve!
Flyser_: lol
Flyser_: alexandernst: they didn't
alexandernst: Flyser_: I know :p
Flyser_: gabe actually likes android (or so it seems)
alexandernst: I was just joking
Flyser_: zzzZZZ
RambJoe: doesn't he have an iphone :(
The_Muh: netsplit!!!
The_Muh: !aargh
The_Muh: !aargh!
The_Muh: hm... wrong channel... here is no bot xD

Rednaxela: . . .
Galaxy|: definitely
thomashc: ok
thomashc: good to know
thomashc: Well it wouldn't be an exact clone
thomashc: just the look and feel
Rednaxela: Well I think that part has been done before
thomashc: yeah
