Yes, VLC is a media player.
On ipads and iphones, my understanding is that one has to wirelessly transfer movies & songs via iTunes.
On a Mac Air, can I just connect a USB stick to the Mac Air and copy across movies and songs to the hard disk, and then play those movies and songs on VLC, without having to be cleared/approved by iTunes first?
Bully for you.
If people are going to be recommending Macs over Win 8 machines, knowing this is critical.
On a Mac Air, can I watch content I have . . ahem . . acquired, on VLC and be able to just copy this content to a Mac Air, via a USB port?
Don't forget to wipe your bummy.
I challenge you to bare your buttocks, live on National TV.
Also.... With all this boards "so called" connections to the company.... I challenge you to get in touch with Intel and prove that relationship with EPGL as false. Can't wait to hear back
Basically I was rejecting the poster's claim that only futuristic thinkers are able to see how EPGL is gonna go straight to the moon.
Plenty of so called futuristic devices/things that people widely proclaim are gonna change everything, just don't.
Not a slam on Oracle per se.
Yeah, I'll bet that most of the people here also failed to jump onto Larry Ellison's Network Computer in 1996, now look where we are.
This board is living in the past and blind to the future. Smartphones are great but by no means the 'great' cash-maker. You need to see the light.
Well if you had said that EPGL had a deal with Intel, then perhaps people could have learnt something.
But instead you post that Intel had a deal with Intel and don't correct yourself, despite multiple promptings.
Not a lot of benefit to be had from someone saying "Intel had a deal with Intel".
He quoted your terribly written post of "Intel has an agreement with Intel" and asked if that was what you meant to say, and you rambled on with nonsense and made a fool of yourself.
LOL
So why couldn't you explain that when Elmer sought clarification multiple times?
I'm one of those people.
I simply do not countenance ANY Win 8 device for myself.
Just hope that Win 10 doesn't disappoint.
But I do feel that Windows 8* was a damper for Intel as those looking to upgrade may be waiting for W10.
The SI swimsuit models clearly would be of no interest to you.
I'm sure I am not alone when I say that I have told all my friends who are thinking about upgrading their PC's by getting new PC's, that they should if they can, wait till Windows 10 is out.
I am holding off personally on getting a laptop, till Windows 10 is installed on new laptops by default.
As for Windows 8 being "more efficient" than Windows 7, what good is this so called "efficiency" when many people view Windows 8 to be the new Vista, and refuse to have anything to do with it?
I don't know that this helps Intel if consumers just upgrade their existing machines. Windows 8 is considerably more efficient than Windows 7 and I assume that Windows 10 will be as well so there may be a lot of Windows 7 customers upgrading their existing systems instead of buying new systems.
You need to pay more attention then.

I thought they gave up on that?
Intel did raise its dividend.
What do you mean by having "no control/visibility over"?
I use Chrome & Firefox pretty much evenly, with IE being in a very poor 3rd place.
I don't use Chrome. I object to having a browser I have no control/visibility over. I use Firefox usually with IE very occasionally.
Not sure why you are suggesting my position was your initial position.
You thought people would be happy to type up a PhD Thesis on their smartphone, as sub 5" screens don't bother "the youth of today".
As opposed to your nuanced position which recognized that many could/would? LOL!
fpg
You have had to be dragged kicking and screaming to recognise "a lot".
A lot of people wouldn't/couldn't replace their PCs with smartphones, too. I recognize this
You are the only one banging on about "senile old men".
What about the self-righteous?
Are you happy for them to be controlling what other people read?
I really don't want to enter a discussion about any member. I have participated in and read forums since the Prodigy-Usenet days. I have a thick skin and what is said by others does not bother me and what anyone says can be answered if on point. I just don't think this forum should be sidelined by politics, religion, senile old men etc.
It is just like how he claimed he never said "Parts is Parts", but then proceeded to argue for that notion, in over a thousand posts.
That has never been in doubt.
I'm not kidding when I say he is a self-confessed Anyone But Intel whacko.
More than anything, they need for Win 10 to arrive.
I can't be the only one holding out refusing to buy anything that comes with Win 8 installed on it.
Have you enjoyed attempting to reason with a self-confessed Intel hater and inventor of "Parts is Parts" mentality?
I've been having a good chuckle at you writing encyclopedic length responses, knowing exactly how things were going to be at the end anyway.
FPG is impervious to reason, as reason has had nothing to do with forming his mindset.
You beat me to it. Those cases scream out "Cheap & Nasty".
The case design looks utterly silly. Acrylic rather than aluminum.
Clown cases.
No point in wasting more time commenting on this silly "form over function" blissninny design.

Your opinion is that PhD students would be happy to type up a thesis on their smartphones. LOL
Three years of mobile growth > PC growth could mean big changes, and of course my opinion is no huge secret...
Intel showed that when they concentrate on x86, other architectures don't bring enough advantages to overcome it.
Intel's refusal to make their own ARM processor, shows they are concentrating very hard on x86.
Not even Intel's OWN server offering could withstand x86, once it was dragged into the fight, kicking and screaming. by AMD.
FPG has admitted his Anyone But Intel fanaticism in the past, but I'm not sure if he is now pretending it doesn't exist or not and that this should play no part in assessing his credibility.
x86 showed that RISC doesn't have a magic pixie dust advantage over x86.
Seems like you are going to have to learn that lesson all over again.
Have you been asleep the last 20 years and missed what's happened in the Server Market?
and Intel becomes less able to hide under Momma Microsoft's skirt and is actually exposed to real, non-hamstrung processor competition? I.e, the tooth&nail fight moves up the stack.
Wouldn't it make more sense to provide x86 SoC's to Android Phone makers like Samsung and friends, so they could market their undoubted hardware advantage over Apple?
Paragraphs are your friend.
But FPG can't.
If Intel hits its mobile goals, he's gonna have to be placed under suicide watch.
300-400 million PCs and 500 million SoCs from Intel per year in 2016 - I can definitely live with that :)
How does pricing look once one adds memory, storage, O/S & controllers(i.e. Keyboard & Mouse)?

I'd like to see Intel power the Kindle varieties. ;p
Tablets will always have a future as Book Readers. ;p
Boorusa,
"How nice it'd be to come home to her
and sit by the fireplace and she in the kitchen
aproned young and lovely wanting my baby
and so happy about me she burns the roast beef
and comes crying to me and I get up from my big papa chair
saying Christmas teeth! Radiant brains! Apple deaf!
God what a husband I'd make!"
