People seem to forget that todays phones aren't phones, there's a full fledged OS back there and one if it's many programs makes calls, just like a computer, if you start filling it up with unofficial, unsupported, pirated crap then yes it's going to be unstable and run like shit, I see this on iPhone's all the time.

That being said, the last WM phone I used reminded me of vista, even on supported hardware ootb it ran like shit.

My missus has a 3rd gen (i think) i phone, i like it a lot. Its never had any instability problems.

I had a cool ipod nano around a year ago, worked great for around 8 months. After it kept freezing and doing unusual shit. I'd do every kind of reset under the sun, software updates, the lot. ended up crushed in the vice in my shed, and I refused to fork out any of my earnings on an apple device again.

iTunes is f**king shit as well. Made my pc run like it was on valium... always with the bloody software updates. I kept letting it update, until one day i went and plugged in the nano (before the vice incident), and then it tells me the latest version of iTunes was too 'new' for my device, and wiped my library. f**k you apple. And to the not so literate PC user, go ahead with the updates and you'll end up with Safari, Bonjour and all sorts of other apple shit. I refuse to install iTunes on my new PC!

iTunes does indeed suck and I'm not a huge fan of iPhones but OSX shits all over all MS Windows versions imo.

to a degree, osX is hugely locked down - its also based upon NeXTstep which is based upon a unix kernel

BeOS would have been a much better OS to put on the Mac but Jean Louis Gassee (ex Apple, Be Inc Founder) wanted too much money for it.

Jobs, who had left apple earlier to found NeXT did his own behind the door dealings with Gil Amelio so he could get back in - turns out he took Amelios job, turfed BeOS out the window and spent the next 5 years converting NeXTstep into a viable OS...

Windows 7 has come a long way and I'm pretty happy with it - only sometimes need to get to the command prompt which means their front end apps have matured enough for end user activities. That said, I like linux and BeOS more than the other OS's around these days

and for the geeks, if you're interested there's an open source BeOS clone, 100% api, source and binary compatible called Haiku...

www.haiku-os.org - u can even download the Alpha pre-release on a live cd and check it out - has been over 10 yrs in development, but its already more user friendly than the last 20 years of linux development - and this is a pervasively multithreaded OS that was designed to run on multiple CPU cores back when the only way to have more than one core was to physically mount 2 CPU northbridges on a single system and share the memory IO (Symmetric Multiprocessing aka SMP - used to have an MSI 694D Pro with two P3-800's back in the day when a P3-500 was considered ballsy... pity the chipset sucked...

I've got an iPhone cause all the nokia I've had fallen to bits by buttons falling off, screens cracking, battery back cSing falling off. Also the software always f**ked up!

Bought a Sony Ericson and the software shit itself wit in a month of owning it.

iPhones the only phone that's lasted me the longest and I like the touch screen for typing and the easy Internet but I hate the stupid Bluetooth it has and hate the iTunes shit

I don't care about apple or microsoft shit I just want a phone that was as in distrustable as the old nokia 3215

Win 7 is a vast improvement over Vista but unfortunately it not will run Logic Pro and frankly Pro Tools LE runs more stable and faster on OSX and this is on the same machine. I rarely run PT LE from Windows anymore for this reason.

Ahh true, apple pretty much has a monopoly when it comes to audio hardware and apps - mainly due to MS re-inventing the wheel (drivers) each time.

I used to have a C-port DSP24 (CPort 2000) which only had ASIO drivers for Win2k. Was great until I tried to install it on vista. Didn't like it. Eventually someone hacked the drivers to work under XP but they certainly don't run under Win7 - which is great, a $1000 soundcard that doesnt work because the manufacturers are too pov to write new drivers...

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.

      Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
