IT is insane that they think they can stop torrenting.

But the big issue is why are movies on ITunes $24,99, when you can go out and buy brand new, new release movies from places like BigW for under $20, Surely if they don't have to produce, package, ship, wholesale then retail an actual DVD, then the actual cost of the movie should come down significantly. If these stupid movie studios charged $5 to download a DVD quality movie, then many, many people less would pirate them.

Spot on. The other issue is the format - I bought Star wars on VHS back in the day. Then the THX edition. Then the DVD and so forth. Pretty f**king stupid to pay for the same content over and over again... if they had an online model where you bought the rights to the movie and they would let you download new remuxes then I doubt anyone would pirate anything. I think the phone market (iphone/android) has got it nailed - charge a very low price to tonnes of people rather than charging a high amount and having much less users..

Stupid industries hanging onto an outdated business model is whats happening. Industrial Revolution 2.0

see i disagree there. why would anyone feel inclined to pay for something they already get for free when there's no incentive to do so? particularly these days when unlimited broadband has become common place. i mean since i realised that tpg changed my plan to an un-metered one, ive started downloading blu-ray rips of movies which are usually between 4 and 8 GB. last month i used about 350GB in downloads alone.

the only way i see movie or tv piracy decreasing is if pay tv became cheaper. and if a ticket to the cinema wasnt 20-f**king-dollars

But Pete, most movies we download are crappy rips and cams/screeners.

I am talking about the movie studios making movies available at or near cinema release time in 720p for $5-$10 and you OWN it.

It depends how fussy you are with quality though I suppose. I have 24" monitors and most movies I download look plain awful compared with 720p content.

i stopped downloading cams and screeners a while ago. now i just wait for 720p rips.

i understand what youre saying andrew and i sort of understand the appeal of it too, but i just dont see it happening. the entertainment industry in general is just too hungry to string every last cent out of something to lower prices that drastically.

and neither has the legal community... logic and common sense is not applicable to the modern community

Nick, I know this is getting a little OT, but WorkCover (as you would know) are def one of them....over lawyered and underbrained!!

I've just invented 2 new words, lol

so the galaxy s3 release this morning.

no super amoled HD

same 8mp camera

no faster cpu

same ram

doesnt even look like they released it with ICS..

the nexus and the one x look better..

was sold on it pre-release but not sure now.

thoughts?

It has a quad core cpu, higher res screen than the GSII, and ships with ICS (obviously with a Touchwiz skin)

Tell you what, they (Samsung) did a bloody good job of creating speculation and hype up till the release...

I was sold on the s3 as soon as I read the first bit of info & specs in the Samsung unpacked app this morning. Would love to get one but still fair bit of time left on my contract - so will wait out till something better/newer arrives.

Big fan of the new handset shape - much less iphone-ish, reminded me a lot of the nexus from first glance. Quite cool new features from the looks of the reviews.

From what you list in your post it doesnt sound like any improvement over the S2 - but that's really not the case.

Definitely ICS - they'd be pretty silly to release it with GB...

Some people aren't big fans of TouchWiz either = but hey it's Android - install a different launcher... flash it...

One X is pure awesome.

Both phones will have their pros and cons. At the end of the day they are the best of the best latest droid mobs available.

Having run the S2 for a year now - I'd grab the S3 for sure. The S2 has been pretty flawless!

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 馃槀 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 馃槳 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
