Where was the penalty?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 13, 2012 -> 08:52 PM) So just how bad is the Colts defense? They won 2 games last year.

That ball hit the ground.

Really risky pass by Cutler.

Come on Webb...really?

Wow...special teams come on.

Defense has played so well. We need to get a score before the half.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 13, 2012 -> 08:28 PM) Urlacher is so slow out there right now. Almost looks like a completely different player. The defense is playing very good though. You can thank Lovie Smith's stupidity for playing him in a meaningless game on the very last play of it.

Defense needs one more big sack to take them out of field goal range.

Henry Melton just trolled Clay Matthews. Hahaha.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 13, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) Sale tomorrow. Floyd vs Fister Monday . Floyd vs. Fister is so much worse than Sale vs. Verlander.

Rodgers is taking a beating so far.

QUOTE (That funky motion @ Sep 13, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) Cutler taking way to much time looking for the big play. They had something going. But the Carimi play made them go for a bigger play on the ensuing downs. BTW, f*** A.J. Hawk. That guy is so annoying.

WTF Carimi.

QUOTE (That funky motion @ Sep 13, 2012 -> 08:13 PM) Does the clock start, when the center snaps it or when the QB touches it? At the snap. Roach was basically off the field when the ball was snapped. His foot was in the air and going towards the sideline.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) LOL, no I know that because I work in technology with some of the most bleeding edge software programmers in the industry as well as visit just about every Fortune 1000 company in the marketplace. I know from experience. Second, I dont have any of those problems you cited whatsoever. We have over 300 people using macs with chrome with zero issues. I also use my ipad for day to day work and presentations seamlessly, I also take notes on my ipad in every meeting I am in and share them with co-workers realtime. Sounds like user error to me. I'm not talking about Chrome on Macs, I'm talking about Chrome on iOS. Chrome on iOS is crippled. It can't download files unless you get a downloader extension through Cydia, which requires you to jailbreak your iDevice. It also can't run JavaScript well nor can it be made the default browser. All thanks to Apple since third party apps are limited to the UIWebView and not the newer Nitro JS. This is exactly the kind of stuff I'm talking about when I say closed system. Apple doesn't want a superior browser taking over on their device so it intentionally cripples other web browsers. They're scared of competition. Just curious though, what exactly do you do?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 07:52 PM) This post makes no sense at all. Allow me to rip it to shreds now. How could you open a Powerpoint Presentation in an app that didn't license the use of the MICROSOFT owned technology? Answer: You legally can't. So blaming Apple for this is nonsensical and silly. You are talking about proprietary technologies owned by third parties. Powerpoint isn't owned by Apple, so Apple would have to license it for a note taking app to open it...and since Microsoft doesn't allow that for just any old application, they couldn't if they wanted too. This has nothing to do with Apples "closed system", it has everything to do with the technology you are speaking of being owned by someone else. In all seriousness...you are using the wrong device for the specific function you wish to use it with. So I ask, why would you do this? Get a Windows Mobile 7/8 phone and these issues you are having with a proprietary Microsoft own technology would go away. But b****ing because Apple devices aren't seamless at opening technologies they aren't legally allowed to open is a pretty silly example of something being nonintuitive/seamless. How is this non-sensical? You're honestly biased as hell when anyone posts anything regarding Apple's products. Either that or you didn't even read or get my point. First of all, you CAN open Powerpoint files legally on iOS. You just have to pay $15 to do it. Second, a huge reason I am complaining is because Apple protects its filesystem. If I wanted to do the exact same thing on Android, I can easily go to my favorite file explorer (which can be had for free and I don't need to jailbreak to use it) and open the file I just downloaded up. Everything is tied together and apps can share data with each other through intents. But with iOS, I have to jailbreak it in order to just take some notes on a Powerpoint file? WTF? Why should anybody have to go through that route to do something as simple as note taking? And why would I buy a Windows phone to take notes?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 06:21 PM) Apple products just work. But for me the value increases by quite a bit when you have several of them so they can interop with each other. My apple TV for example does a nice job of tying everything together from a media standpoint. I don't know how many times you've said this, but it's like Steve Jobs and now Tim Cook have hardcoded this into your brain. Apple has buzz words and phrases down to a tee and it seems like the people who use Apple products just take what they see from the ads and keynotes. And you know what the worst part is? When you ask people who like Apple why they like Apple. The response is..."IT WORKS". Really? It better work for the amount of money you paid. Want to be a little more specific? You'll get answers like "It's so intuitive" and "it's so seamless". It's not like I don't own an Apple product. I do and I don't find them THAT intuitive or THAT seamless. Here's a great example of something that I go through on a regular basis: I want to download my daily lecture notes for a class. I go on Chrome and oh guess what, Apple's stupid anti-competition policies don't allow Chrome to download the file. No jailbreak = no downloads on Chrome. The even worse part is that even with the Chrome downloader, I can't download Powerpoint files. Okay, I'll just go on Safari. So I download the Powerpoint and guess what? I can't open it with my note taking app. Alright, fine, I'll go get an app to print it to a PDF or just use QuickOffice (yours for a $15 value) to convert it. Alright, done. BUT HOW THE HELL DO I OPEN IT IN MY NOTE TAKING APP? Oh, yeah, you have to go to iFile and find the file in the mess of folders and then you can open it up in your note taking app. And oh, you need a jailbroken iPad for iFile. I go through this process at least twice a week and it takes me a good 5 minutes to finally start taking notes. SO INTUITIVE, SO SEAMLESS. I only needed 4 applications and a jailbroken iPad to start taking notes on it like I'm supposed to. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. And it's the perfect example why a closed ecosystem like iOS can restrict a device's usability. Thank goodness for the iOS hacking community. Otherwise, my iPad would be nothing more than something I can watch baseball games on. Before you ask why I don't just sync the lectures through iTunes... 1. Slides usually don't go up until an hour before class. Professors are busy/lazy. 2. Who the hell wants to sync anything through iTunes?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 12:50 PM) I've had every version of the iPhone since the original. I've always had great battery life...there are probably some options you have enabled that should be disabled. I'd tell you where they are, but I can't, since I use iOS6, I forget where the options you need to disable exist in iOS5. lol I don't have an iPhone right now.

I have a job fair at the University today. Apple is there. I don't even want to imagine the line I will see at that booth. I will not be talking to them. Mostly because I don't feel like waiting in line for an hour.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 12:46 PM) Apple is historically one of the more accurate when it comes to talking about battery life. I don't doubt them. Do you think this new chip will be a quad core? If it's dual core, I can believe the 8 hours. I haven't had a good experience with the iPhone battery. But I do think highly of the iPad battery. I easily get 3 days of use from a full charge.

lol Shack, I thought you were a dedicated Apple follower. It's right now. I'm wondering what's in this new A6 chip. Probably a slightly underclocked Exynos dual core. I doubt a quad core can get 8 hours on LTE. That estimate sounds a bit generous.

Go get 'em Gavin!

Robin basically just said Youk did not bunt on his own.

Wow Alexei...how did you pop that up?
