It looks great. Still a little sparse, but it looks great and seems to work well.

Haha. that was a funny video. Right off the bat I' d like to say it looks really cool. The design of it is pretty simple and straight forward not to mention it looks very nice. The funny part about it was how the guy was describing it. The firt point wehre I gave a chuckle was when he showed the falling 3d photos feature. He said " This is a very useful function" or something along those lines and I couldn' t help but laugh. How is that useful? It' s a gimmick.

The other stuff that had me laughing was the web browser. Right from the get go he said " you' ve all seen a web browser before" but then goes on to talk about how the PS3 improves it by allowing you to manage multiple windows at once... umm... I' m doing that right now on my PC, infact I' ve got 3 windows open, a couple with tabs. Man, the PS3 is really revolutionary since I can manage multiple internet windows...

Finally, showing NBA Live 07 to show off 60fps and 1080p... I' m unimpressed. It' s a sports game, and NBA Live no less... haha.

Anyway, aside from the dumb presentation that boring ass speaker gave I like the PS3 interface. I' m kinda wonder where the Linux feature is but that' s pretty much the only thing that was left out. Since I brought up Linux, I' d like to bring up my concern about spreading viruses and hacking PS3s online. Epic has already said people will be free to design and distribute their own levels for UT2007 so I really question what the extent of file transfers will be. I have a feeling someone is going to spread a virus that can easily corrupt the PS3s open source OS. Imo, open source operating systems and gaming consoles just don' t go together.

...yeah typical marketing crap... ...like anyone on the whole internet right now hasn' t got multiple web windows open....

....i am beginning to get this thing they were talking about PS3 being a computer rather than a console now though... ....it' s actually does all the things that most people would do with a home computer...

...web, chat, porn.... and gaming ofc....

.....could the days of the leisure PC be numbered?....


...anyway...

....of course the interface looks great.... .....i, along with 99% of consumers, would expect ANY $500 - $600 product to look and function superbly... ...

...YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR......

Notice: Phil said that this interface isnt final yet.

I like the first picture slide show its a brilliant idea.

Does the 360 have the " multiple windows" thingy?

360 doesn' t have internet browsing because it' s a gaming console. If you think having multiple windows open for internet browsing on a game console is spiffy, there is something wrong with you.

Like i told you waaaaaaaay back when it was first announced, they' re not using Lunix as a fully fledged operating system, it' s simply powered by Linux. It won' t look like Linux and it won' t work the way Linux works, it' ll just be there in the background behind Sony' s sleek front end doing it' s job of handling the features and applications.

Hey biatch,you up for some XBL gaming?
Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Useless but still cool.

Lol i was just asking ofcourse PC = No.1 in browsing (Firefox FTW) but it wouldnt hurt if your console could do that too espicieally if it could do teh impossible multiple windows at once thingy!

Seriously,do anyone here see the wii/ps3 IE browse thing as some advantage?

I fear that could lead to some hacking instead.

First they wont use IE because its a M$ product.Wii will use Opera browser and for PS3 i dont remember maybe Firefox Linux version?

Second it can be used to do some great things like upload your pics directly from your console to the net (look at the PGR3 photos thread).Im not a big fan of the idea but i think that some people will do some nice things with it.

I surf the web on my phone all the time
Especially wap-sites.
wap.sl.se - let' s you plan your Stockholm trips if you don' t know much about the buslines/subway lines where you' re going.
wap.dn.se - News, great if you' re bored on the train/bus.
wap.eniro.se - Maps, phone numbers etc.
But if you want to take a big PC or laptop with you when you go out on town then fine.

We only have one big left-winged news paper and that' s Aftonbladet.
DN, Expressen and Stockholm City are all owned by Bonners and are all liberal. Folkpartiet likes them.
Svenska Dagbladet is more right-winged than them and is usually liked by Moderater. Svenskan is an independent liberal.
Metro is supposed to be neutral but since it' s owned by MTG (Stenbeck) I suspect it is slightly right-winged.

Yes,but our right wingers are still " liberals" .

They would be considered far-lefts in USA for ex.

So its very missleading when we call them right wingers.

Socialist people are very very far left.
And liberals are " just" to the left.

Everything is relative.
Kristdemokraterna are conservatives, not liberals.
Some people believe the US politics are veeeery right-winged. Extreme liberalism, extreme capitalism, which makes our right-winged parties normal right-wing parties.
And some people believe Socialdemokraterna are the same as communists.
It' s all depends on your own personal political opinion.

No it doesn' t.

If you' re socialist and decied to co-work with a communist party over any liberal party,you' re fucked up.

That' s why socialdemokratern is a far left wing party.

If republicans co-worked with nazis what would you say then?

But they don' t.

Th left wings in Sweden is far far far left wing.

Vänsterpartiet is not communist even though their very weird leader Ohly claimed that before. If you believe they are communist then you sure don' t know anything about polititcs. I don' t sympathise with them but I don' t call them communists for that. Vänsterpartiet is just far left.
Socialdemokraterna are left, but not by far.
But I guess a boy that gets everything payed for by his mother and had an uncle who was major would never understand how people with other political opinions than yourself think.
I' m not left-winged, but I don' t consider our left-winged parties extreme in any way. They' re just a little stupid sometimes

They was grounded as a communist party,they supported stalin and svoiet for decades.

And now their party leader says he is an communist.

What am i missing?

Ofc they are communist.
They doesn' t call themself that now,since nobody wanna vote on them but almost everyone of them are that.

And yes there is some in their " rikdsdagesledamot" who call themself communit proudly,if i had someone in my party who represented my voter and called himself that i would have kicked his ass two times-

And about my uncle it was my dads grandpa,he was a oprhange,he worked his ass off everyday flor a better future,and took every crap job he could to support his dreams.

Btw he was also chefredaktör for expressen,i forgot his name but my dad always brag about him since he was the first one and only one who was allowed to print and translate snobben,which was my dads fav cartoon.

It was my dads dad who was in charge of the heli divison in the swedish army,and got an army salute when he died,he also had no money problem.

But all my reletvies has worked extremly hard for what they wanted.
Remember my dads last name is italien,and those was very poor,thats why my dads uncle ended up as orphange.

Some people work hard,and some people likes to live in others money.
Yes there is a lot of people who need it,but there is also a lot of people that for ex are being parasites.

In my " samhällesbok" it had an ex of a family who refused to seek a work in the summer and also refused to take some works that she didn' t like that the community could offer who had also been out of work for years and demanded oil money for their vacation with her children.
And she won.

And the dilemma was about is that women obligated to have all that?
Or has she some obligation to work for what she gets for free,and should we really pay her for her own intrest?
Refusing to search for a work and taking vacation,from what? from searching a work?

etc etc.

nvm.

back to topic.





Oh btw yes the nazis in sweden is like socialdemocrats but only in their political agenda for the societywelfare,ofc they have nothing to do with Socialdemocraterkna otherwise.

My point is Ginjirou.

I had reletives who been extremly poor,even oprahnge,and made it all the way up.

Then they are evil rscum bags,who sucks out the society,because they worked themself almost to death for a better life.

If you should be that retarded Ohly.

fuck the left wingers.

I know there are some people who parasite on the rest of us, but having a right-winged or left-winged society won' t make a difference.
It' s not like our right-wingers are going to completely remove the aid our government offers.
Do I want a divorced mom with four kids who works as a cleaner, and other weak people who actually need aid, to be thrown out on the street just because I hate the parasites? Or just to make a few dollars extra per month when I have more than enough? No. Your family worked hard. Did they succeed? Yes they did so what' s your problem? Back then when they fought times were bad and everyone were having a hard time.

I live in Stockholm. Born and raised at Södermalm which I will always consider home.
A 42" HDTV for 6999? Wow! But can you really trust a TV with that price? Insurance? Warranty? Service? Design? Features? Quality?
Maybe I' ll check it out, is it that german store? Markt or whatever it was?

Kind of hard to avoid noticing with all their advertising.
Big full page ads in news papers, they send HUGE pamplets to homes, and in the subway they have those funny " thanks Sweden" ads.
You know, one with lots of blonde cute girls and then it says " thanks sweden for your great audience. Now we give you cheap electronics" or something.
And one where they have like a half-nude girl in the grass and it says " thanks sweden for all your great nature films."
Or the one with a picture of a " beware of moose" warning sign and they say " thanks for all your beautiful paintings."
It must be a great store!

Hard to tell. First there' s the Wii and all its great games. And then there' s lots of PSP games I want. And I' m really interested in buying a DS of my own. And I' m getting a new PC next month so I' ll probably catch up by buying all the great PC games I' ve missed the last YEARS.
I' ll have to see how good Gears, LO, BD and all those games really are. If they are as good as you think, then maybe a 360 will be more important than Wii&DS&PSP&PC.
