    If intel keeps putting out these 'thoroughly' tested firmwares, they'll replace magnetic drives in 100 years -

    @yemski: How are they with RMAing the bricked ones. It sounds like Patriot is the way to go, at least with their Torq SSDs as they give them a 10 year warranty. #intelbrickedssdbug

    Which brings us to the 3-day firmware rule. Always wait 3 days before flashing a new firmware. #intelbrickedssdbug

    So is there some sort of compensation for all the people Intel appears to have fucked? I don't have an SSD and I don't know what exactly happens when one is "bricked" but I assume it means it's unusable now. Any thoughts people? #intelbrickedssdbug

    @antpwny: I'm going to sound like a Patriot sales rep, but I'm not. I've heard great things about Patriot's Torqx line. They're fast, have a 10 year warranty, and are cheaper than Intel. They look like they're the way to go for the long haul. #intelbrickedssdbug

    In reply to Apple Aware of Snow Leopard User Account Bug
    Rare or not, ability to avoid the circumstances that trigger it or not (now it's publicised, anyway) it's the kind of bug that will freak the public out if they hear it exists. No-one will buy a computer they are vaguely aware might eat EVERYTHING. Microsoft's PR team will call in a lot of favours to get this thing disseminated in a low-level, vague kind of way to as many news outlets as possible.

    @eagles3 speeeedin:

    You are forgetting that not everyone has extra cash to shell out for a time capsule.

    And what percentage of users actually back up data on a regular basis. I guarantee you it's under 10%.

    The problem isn't "it's not a big deal for ME, because I back my stuff up". It's the problem for all the people that don't.

    It's like me saying "I run a RAID 5 storage solution in my desktop, so this Windows bug that wipes one drive isn't a big deal". It's still annoying as hell and puts a lot of stress on the array and the controller.

    @UnderLoK:

    Not true, every set of data stripes has a parity block stored on a drive that's not in the stripe.

    If I have a data A in a 4-drive RAID 5, A is striped over drives 1, 2, and 3. Drive 4 holds a complete parity block so that it can repair the data if any one drive fails. If Drive 4 fails, the controller will use the stripes to repair the parity.

    If you tap the screen with three fingers, it will go back to normal. What he probably did was change the settings, in General, then Accessibility, then turned zoom "on". When you do this and tap the screen with 3 fingers it zooms in. Tap again with 3 fingers and it zooms out.

    When are you Apple fanboys going to grow up and admit that helping people with poor vision read their iPhones is a design FLAW.

    @Zlevee: It's a Simpsons reference. The Movementarians try to recruit Homer, and give his a detailed description of the free seminar at their compound this weekend. And Homer keeps asking them questions. The title of this article is about as detailed as detailed gets, so I wrote this post. I know exactly how you feel.

    @mwinfie: Because it's very open and modular, so you can do what you want to do with it, not what Apple, and only Aple, allows you to do. It's a nice change of pace for people who actually have minds of their own, like to create things, tinker with things and have their own opinions about things. In other words, techno-fetishist gadget loving geeks.


    On the other hand, there is the iPhone, where Apple decides what apps you're allowed to like. If Apple says you don't like it, then you don't fucking like it!!

    I was able to do it over and over different amounts of rotation -- to undo it i just tilted the phone up or to the side so it would move back. I could only do it with individual photos, not the all of them.
