Not sure what ISP is making $14 trillion in a year. 

Its a material developed by apple so they have all the rights to patent it. Legendary Nokia just used plastic that looks like metal (similar to what S4 & S5 had around their edges). Don't fanboy around here

How dare apple patient something that has not been made before

Intel is currently paying 1.5bn USD per year to get access to most of Nvidia's IP (though not the fundamental pieces needed to tie together the advanced parts because JSH simply ate a 500 million USD fine to yank those patents after the Larrabee debut). It's definitely in Intel's interests to buy all of ATI even at a premium.

While you were busy being salty, did you perhaps notice that they give the Retina tag to devices that carry high resolution displays? That the "Retina" branding is how Apple lets people know it is a high resolution display? 
As for the prices going up...well...duh. High res panels cost more. They get put into the higher end devices. Things like the rMBP are built to a level that the Razer Blade or MSI Ghost or other unibody, thin aluminum ultrabooks are. Nice engineering costs money, ya know? 
The 5K Retina iMac is cheaper than a 5K display on its own, so I'm not sure how Apple is ripping people off on that one to be honest. 
 
 
You seem mad that apple knows how to MARKET. Something any company should be good at if they want to maintain and increase sales, since outside of the circle jerking  of the internet, marketing is crucial to getting sales and letting people know you have new product. And having the Retina branding helps. 
 
But go on, be more salty. 

W and V are often swapped between Germanic and English languages. it is a double U in English because the w was originally handwritten as two U's not V's.
 
If English is your first Language then the concept of using V for W sounds just as weird.

Why do you think?  do you really want 10 handpicked reviews  that are taming their content for fear of missing out on pre-release hardware over 20, 30, 40 or even more independent reviews?

Do you people ever have PROOF for these wild accusations or do you just enjoy saying them cause they sound cool and its "hip" to shit on a company for no reason? 

The structure of their debt and lots of financial analysis says they are. They make 1 billion in revenue each year. They haven't been profitable in almost a decade.

Hopefully mobile quad core chips follow soon after and not 6 months down the line. 

So basically AMD is selling a driver update for $300? lol

Almost every Dell UltraSharp and Professional series monitor has had at least one DisplayPort input if not several for the last few years. Same with ASUS's PA/PB series. I'll grant you that more consumer-grade oriented monitors don't usually have DisplayPort though.
 
To everyone else, let's not kid ourselves, we may like DisplayPort but the TV industry and their market both have no interest in DisplayPort whatsoever and most people haven't even heard of it. Other than a few exceptions I can probably count on one hand, DisplayPort has exactly zero presence in the TV space. You're fooling yourself if you don't think HDMI 2.0 will be the ubiquitous standard for getting 4K 60fps on TVs, it's only just started rolling out and it already has greater presence than DP 1.2 which has been out for over 5 years.

You got proof of that, or do you just assume they are because they sent out the 960 and called it a mid range sweet spot card in all their material and marketing guff?

If we are going to crucify Nvidia for not allowing mobile overclocking (especially on MXM equipped laptops that have beefy cooling) then I fully expect people to also bitch out AMD for not allowing ENTHUSIASTS to overclock their HBM. 
 
The Fury is a enthusiast card, no? Did I miss the memo where AMD is afraid of what ENTHUSIASTS will do to their ENTHUSIAST card? Hmm, why call it that anyways if you're gonna block off parts of the playground because "you think its good enough". 
 
People here say we bitch at AMD for no reason. Well...if AMD stopped making boneheaded choices like this (and Nvidia to boot), we'd stop making fun of them for it. Ironically the AMD guys knee-jerk their "oh look people will now insult AMD" speeches for no reason. Stop being so melodramatic and stop making a mountain out of molehill. AMD is being silly, they'll get called out for silliness. Don't like people doing that? Stop being so invested in what GPU you own. 

That is a poor way of trying to invalidate my argument, don't do it again. Your second paragraph is textbook fail for disarming someone's point.
Who says I bash anyone? I'm not exactly 12 anymore. I buy what makes sense. Back then it was a 6770. Then 660s. Then splurging on 780s. Now I'm swayed by Fury. I don't really care.
All this deflection and "woe is me, look at how they attack my brand" posturing is kinda sad for a place like this.

Someone will flash a 290X to be a 390X and get the same damn performance out of the "box", since the 390X gets the benefit of a factory OC along with whatever BIOS changes. Hardware hasn't changed...

But here is the thing. Linus wasn't promised one in the first place nor was he assured that one would arrive. 
 
Kit Guru was given an allocation, said things that painted AMD in a not so nice way, and then AMD cried like a baby and took their ball home. THAT is the issue. AMD seems happy to talk shit about other brands yet can't handle getting it in return, especially if its fair. 
 
Where is the integrity and ethics in that? AMD only giving their Fury to publications that WILL say nice things? This is no better than Apple going after sites for not being nice to them, or blocking them from attending their events if they aren't favourable. Where is the similar outrage? AMD is trying so hard to only get positive news on this release of GPUs and they're going to some pretty shady lengths to ensure it. 
 
The double standards around this site are amazing. What AMD has done is ethically wrong. How can you remotely defend it? Its pathetic behaviour that AMD can't handle a company not being nice to them. 

You mean using social engineering to guess celebrity passwords? 
 
Not Apples problem that their users are morons and pick guessable passwords. If you aren't using something stupid like 7adf8g9adf89gasd(fa8300ppp then you deserve being "hacked". Use better passwords, especially if you're a goddamn celebrity that should know people want access. Ideally, don't store ANYTHING online that you don't feel comfortable having there. Not a hard rule to follow, especially when it comes to nude photos. 
 
 
This "debate" is silly and simply exists to stroke the egos of fanboys on each side. I've used both since the shiftiness of iOS 1 and the shittiness of whatever abomination the Nexus One shipped with. They have always had their pros and cons compared to each other. They have always been flawed. They have both borrowed/stolen/whatever from one another in the name of improving their product. 
 
Pick what you think is best for you and bugger off, eh? Don't shove your opinion penis down peoples throats because you absolutely believe one is truly superior to another. iOS vs Android is like BMW vs Mercedes. Each brand does one thing better than the other, but who the fuck cares in the real world what you drive so long as YOU are happy with it? Eh? Since when did we start using OSs to satisfy the flawed and screwed up notions of fanboys and internet strangers? Just use what fits your needs best, what is easiest for you. 
 
I myself will go back to iOS every single time. Hell, I even prefer the stock ROM on my S5 over everything else I've installed, because its the least amount of headaches. You want to tinker with your shit all day long? all the power to you. I am a tinkerer too, but I prefer having my phone, computer and camera as stable as possible, because after a day of tinkering and working, I want something that you know, just works. 
 
God forbid people chose what they like without being labeled fanboys or sheep around here. So goddamn pathetic this attitude is. 
 
 

 
I know, I'm disappointed. Linus is smarter than that and can make far more educated and rational points in a real debate. This felt like pandering to the circle jerk.

Which department at AMD do you work at?

Because Nvidias CEO is the first CEO in the history of CEOs to have come up with out of ass numbers to hype products? 
 
Some of you people take this Nvidia v AMD thing way, way too seriously. As if your livelihoods depended on it.
