Intel's AppUp needs to take a page from Apple when designing its software.

Lemme guess, you downloaded it from Best Buy so you could get Angry Birds for free for your kids?  Well anyway, that's what I did.  Weird playing it on a 22" monitor instead of a cellphone screen.

:blush:

Caughtya!!

I made the mistake of downloading it right before Tommy was supposed to go to bed.  He walked into the office & saw the Angry Birds icon-- cost me an extra hour or so of trying to get him to settle in.  He was fascinated to see it being played on a computer.  I just want him to stop grabbing my phone to play it every time I turn my head.

I have to play levels twice, both for Katerina and Cassandra. Oh no, there is no going on until each has beaten each level.

:weep:

:lol: Tommy insists he can do each level himself, but after 2 tries he asks me to do it for him.  Immediately.  Regardless of whether I'm on a phone call, trying to get some work done, doing dishes, etc.

And he laughs hysterically every time he sees the pig with the mustache :huh:

Because I have an employee discount, I purchased them for my mother to give to my sister and aunt. :P

Hackintosh with a Radeon HD 6970! :w00t:

Forget Hackintosh - what about being able to buy a Radeon card at any old PC supplier and slap it in my Mac Pro.   :cool:

Does Mac support AMD processors, then?  Since AMD took over ATI, they've gotten even worse at playing nice with Intel-based chipsets...

The rule of thumb is use nVidia for an Intel-based system, and use ATI for an AMD-based system.

I gotta call BS on this one.

Apple has now virtually moved to all-Radeon across it's line, yet remains Intel-only on the processor side.

I'd be very, very surprised if it was using stock firmware.  One can have a stock computer with a stock GPU and custom firmware.  For example, my Toshiba Satellite has a stock (AFAIK) Radeon HD 4250... except Toshiba had AMD give them a custom driver.  Net result: AMD's driver updates don't work.

My Mac Pro (Intel Xeon) has a 5770 and runs the stock drivers from AMD.

The fact that one laptop had a problem does not mean Intel and Radeon can not happily co-exist.
