Funny how Google is really focused on making their messages be blue when talking to iMessage users. Whos is to say that if Apple does implement RCS in some from that they don't specific a different color for RCS messages? Green for SMS, Blue for iMessage and maybe purple or yellow for RCS.

Lol, yeah. I was running an Phenom 1100T when they first came out and upgrade to the FX-8350 when it was launched over 2 years ago. I've been considering buying the FX-9590 just to tide me over till these come out.

To be honest, I have no real need to upgrade until I get more into 4K gaming and upgrade from the overclocked 290x that I have now.

I've been hobbling along with my FX-8350 and AM3+ for awhile now and have been wanting to upgrade. If it lives up to the hype, unlike dozer, and piledriver, then I'll definitely get one. Now if only the process actually works....

Same here. That was the day that I said I would never, ever, buy a Creative Labs product again and I've stuck to it. Then again, they've made it so easy by producing products that were so bad.

UK Targets Twitter and Blog Endorsements 77

Posted by samzenpus on Monday January 10, 2011 @12:22AM from the who-do-you-work-for dept.

krou writes "The UK's Office of Fair Trading (OFT) is cracking down on 'Twitter users and bloggers using their online presence to endorse products and companies without clearly stating their relationship with the brand.' They described such endorsements, including 'comments about services and products on blogs and microblogs such as Twitter,' as 'deceptive' under fair trading rules. While the US Federal Trade Commission already requires such endorsements to be labelled with 'ad' or 'spon,' the UK doesn't have any such requirement. In relation to this, the OFT has launched an investigation into Handpicked Media, because the OFT is 'insisting that it must clearly state when promotional comments have been paid for.'"

I for one, had issues with what seemed to be glacially slow startup times. The later revisions seemed to have addressed quite a few of these issues and even the NeoOffice port has gotten to a decent, but still not really acceptable, startup speed.
