More thoroughly "revolutionary" (Read: utterly mediocre) offerings from the Church of St. Steve.

Apple have lost their way.

Tbf I'm a resolution fiend so if they have 1920x1080 or larger on the Air I'd be interested.

I'd already seriously considering getting one, if they add a Retina display I might just have to work out a way to get it.


In other news, I might be transferring over to Nottingham Trent Uni in September..
So no new gadgets =[

I've been considering one for a while but have been holding off for the refresh anyway.

I'm reluctant to call it "retina" because tbh I don't fall into the category of people to be suckered by such false advertising. I just like higher PPI.

Meh, just easier to say "retina" than type out resolutions

Has anybody caught wind of the Revelations 2012 yet? It's on its way to becoming the video game equivalent of Rebecca Black, an atrocious game that somehow managed to find its way onto Steam. Some of the "let's plays" on youtube, and heck just watching the gameplay in general, are hilarious.

On the subject of Apple rumours, I'm actually hoping for an upgrade to the Mini. My MacBook Pro barely leaves my desk anymore, so I'd love a half decent Ivybridge desktop that can run like a dream at semi-intensive tasks, sit behind my TV as a media server, and isn't a nightmare to pack up to bring home with me over the holidays. Going by eBay prices I can still get about £500 for my MBP, with which I could buy an entry level Mini and a third party RAM kit. If they follow the lead of the iMac and transition wholly to quad core, I'll be hard pressed to resist upgrading.

I watched the TotalHalibut video of it. Weird video game. Developers might have been smoking something.

I was watching the trailer and thought the graphics looked really good. Then realised it was a youtube ad for Diablo III

We all know the Siri says some funny things, but it looks like Apple wasn't a fan of the automated assistant's response to the question "What is the best smartphone ever?" The Next Web spotted that the assistant offered up the Lumia 900 as an answer to the question last week, but Apple has acted quickly and changed the response. You'll now be told that the answer is indeed the iPhone 4S, with responses like "the one you're holding" and "you're kidding, right?"

Apple patches Siri, no longer says Lumia 900 is 'best smartphone*ever'

They have time to fix trivial rubbish like this, yet Siri still can't tell you where the nearest McDonalds is outside North America.

I bet in North America Siri even tells you how fat you have become since you last ate McDonalds

Chrome is convinced that a large number of sites I'm loading up contain insecure content (and doesn't load them by default). Seems to be happening a lot with sites that use flash, iPlayer, Newgrounds etc. This has only started today, not sure why.

Any ideas?

If you're getting it on multiple pages, I suspect extension problem (or maybe some flash/HTTPS problem - I really don't know). Do you get the error if you open these websites in Incognito mode (which by default should have all extensions disabled)? If you don't get the error, then one of the extensions is the problem.

Looks like it's "HTTPS Everywhere".

I thought you said Revolution and thought hold on, I thought the trailer was quite good

That actually looks quite awesome! When everything started going out I thought it was something by M Night Shamylan (Spelling?) but then it got interesting, plus JJ Abrams always gets the benefit of the doubt =P

I was referring to this masterpiece;
