No Playing In the House

"He loves to wrestle the dog(100lb Golden retriever) so when I heard thrashing around in the living room, it didn't raise red flags. He told me it was an accident, it wasn't until I saw this video on his ipad that I knew what really happened. An "oh shit mom's gonna kill me" face if I ever saw one." -yt

Hodor makes fun of Apple in Samsung ad

RFlagg says...

Yeah, I don't know if most source material will be better here than on the iPad. Wake me when you have a 4k OLED with HDR.

That said, the ending, they show the tablet in portrait mode rather than landscape. After all he said...

Hodor makes fun of Apple in Samsung ad

cegli says...

The Galaxy Tab S2 (and the iPad) has a 2048x1536 (not 1080p) screen, but it's not the resolution they're bragging about. Samsung uses OLED screens, which offer far better picture quality than IPS LED. The contrast, color reproduction, and viewing angles are way better than any IPS LED screen.

Display Mate rated the S7 screen rated as the best they'd ever tested. ([url redacted] I really want to get an OLED TV someday, but they're so expensive... Someday...

Edit: It won't let me post urls, so you'll have to google the display mate review I guess...

Payback says...

He should have came out with an April 1st video where he goes through this huge, lengthy process, cracks open the clay tablet at the finish and shows an iPad.

My PvZ save game profile on my kids' ipad is "Daddy Pig" (not that I use it that much).

My daughter is 3. So all of a sudden, I have "absorbed a new realm" in Peppa Pig. So, as Daddy Pig would say, I *am* a bit of an expert in these things.

canadian man faces jail for disagreeing with a feminist

newtboy says...

OK, I honestly don't know if this is the 'upload a pic of your choice to punch' type of thing either, but I do think that exists, which means this isn't worse than that, if it's not that.
I do agree, she's not rich, and so not as protected. I don't agree that, necessarily, those playing the game have any intent to harm.
I also disagree that NO one has malice towards Bieber, I'm certain there are hundreds of people out there that would love to punch him in real life...and have said so online. I agree, she's seen it worse though.
I can't say which game would have more genuine ill intent, but really, I think more people would actually hit Bieber than kill Bin Laden...maybe I'm wrong and there are more people out there willing to kill rather than punch, but I kind of hope not.
I can guarantee if Bieber gets punched, without SERIOUS injury, tens of thousands of people will cheer! Me with them. he's getting better, but for a while there he really needed a good smack to the face.
It's possible there may be MORE people wishing actual harm against Sarkeesian, but not really likely, since as you admit, her celebrity is a black hole compared to Bieber's star, so exponentially more people know Bieber.
Yes, a game that ONLY allows you to punch blacks would be, by definition, racist. One that allows you to punch Cosby likely exists...and he's also received numerous, serious death threats, and doesn't have major security (but maybe more than her, I don't know). I would say it's also OK to pretend to punch Cosby...or anyone you feel like PRETENDING to punch...as long as it stops there.
Part of living in a free society is a bit of risk. Some face more than others, it's not fair, it's just reality. As my parents told me daily...no one ever said life is fair.

EDIT: Also, no one is forcing Sarkeesian to view the game. It only constitutes harassment if they somehow subject her to it, right? If people surrounded her on the street with Ipads and 'punched' her face in front of her, yeah, but it simply existing....well, I think that doesn't rise to the level of action by far. If I find out someone is playing that game with a picture of a newt....fine...just don't go punching any real newts or we'll have problems. Otherwise, go to it and get it out of your system. ;-)

We're not talking about a random "beat up this picture" game, or at least, that's not the impression I got (if it IS user-generated, then I retract my statements re Spurr). We're talking about a game specifically about beating up Sarkeesian.

First, it's the old comedy motto... "punch up, not down". Sarkeesian has received multiple, unbelievably vile threats against her. More to the point, those threats are credible. She's not a famous celebrity with an army of bodyguards to protect her. There's a very real chance that someone could just assault her on the street, far more so than Bieber.

Second, the people that want to punch Bieber are doing so because he's annoying. There's really very little malice behind it in almost all cases.

You can't reasonably argue that's the same for Sarkeesian. There is a genuine and widely documented movement of people on the web who have expressed serious hatred of her.

Let me put it this way, if I compared a "Punch Bieber" and a "Shoot Bin Laden" in the head game, which would you say has more genuine ill intent behind it?

When someone did shoot Bin Laden, everyone cheered. If someone seriously assaulted Bieber, even people who are annoyed by him would say that's going too far.

OTOH, if someone seriously assaulted Sarkeesian, there is a sizeable group of people who be delighted by that.

We don't make judgements in a vacuum. We must take what we know of the context surrounding something to decide whether we like it or not.

A game about punching Bill Cosby in the face? We can reasonably assume it's motivated by sexual assault allegations.
Now take the same game, and instead of Bill Cosby, you can choose any black celebrity. Again, you can make a reasonable assumption, except this time we could say it's racially motivated.

Possibly I'm misinterpreting his intentions, but if so, he's not really attempting to correct the public perception of them.

Emotionally manipulating commercial that I liked...

Lawdeedaw says...

No, capitalism is cynical and manipulative in general. It also promotes freedom in general, ie., the antithesis to community. Is it no wonder we bemoan the fact that kids are more into their ipads then the dinner table? But we promote that as entitled, and how dare someone tell you how to live. Etc., so forth and so on.

And btw, sleazier ads sell better than wholesome ads. So "they could have done it better" is actually only your opinion but makes very little economic sense. I used to say the same thing about Jerry Springer, then I looked at the dumbass audience that watches it...

JustSaying said:

So it's capitalism that makes grandpa manipulative and his children too wrapped up in their own daily lives to visit him?
The message this ad is sending is 'It's ok to fabricate drama to get your relatives' attention'. What the admakers want to communicate is that 'Edeka is a part of your home, your family life'. They're not really successful at it, the ad doesn't work as good as it could've. It would've been better if the children made grandpa believe that this year, again, they won't make it home for christmas but then, surpise, they show up anyways. With products bought at Edeka.
The loneliness of old age is a good theme for advertising but you have to get it right or you'll appear cynical and manipulative. Like grandpa.

Last Week Tonight With John Oliver: Mandatory Minimums

yellowc says...

God can they stop country blocking already. IT DOESNT WORK GUYS, everyone and their dog knows how to use a proxy site.

Like everyone, my retarded computer friends showed me the damn sites. My mother does it on her iPad, the only computing device she's ever owned. MY MOTHER CAN BYPASS IT.

God I just want this world to be less stupid, just by little bits at a time and geoblocking will be the biggest joke to our future kids. We're going to look like idiots, we will anyway but why make it worse. Let's at least let them say "Well at least they didn't...".

The Terrifying Truth of Childhood Technology Addiction

If Everything Was Bundled Like Cable

poolcleaner says...

I dunno, thesee big ass companies are getting pretty good at shutting down content, at least for casual surfers. Now there is content available online that requires cable provider login.

I'm not saying the format isn't hurting but the format is ALWAYS changing and shifting, back tracking and then leaping forward. I still listen to the radio and go to the theater and theatre. Live shows? Hell yeah.

Any format is relevant to varying degrees when the same people own and run multiple formats for content: Marvel Television, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Netflix, Marvel comics, Marvel on your iPad, Disney on ice.

It's funny because it's true. However, cable is dying a slow death because people realize you can just get internet and tell them to screw themselves.
