The point is that for a city with a metropolitan area of 1.8 million, the choice available is dire.

Dunno if that's even true tbh. Tonight you have a choice of Bleak or Ben UFO. Every week there's a big act over, some nights you even have choices of which major act you'd like to see. Next month sees Rob Hood and Untold playing the same night. The Kitchen is back open and the Button Factory seem to be booking decent acts.

Fair enough, I try and keep an eye on what's going on over there and it just seems like so little choice compared to similar size UK cities.

Not doubting there is some good stuff on. TP book some great acts. But the choice of different genres of electronic music just seems below what it should be to me.

Both are becoming more and more redundant anyhow. Legacy technology for the average home user.

Yeah, I know what you're saying about lack of choice. And it's true compared to what it was like years ago. I think the whole dance music scene has just shrunk massively in Dublin over the years and that's why there isn't as much choice as there used to be. There are nights for various styles of music but they seem to be sporadic, rather than weekly. There was D'n'B in the Basement of TP when Boddika was over (I think). It's all to do with numbers though. If people aren't arsed going to gigs promoters can't be booking nights

Hows about Iphones are better than Android

I honestly think people are reporting the death of the home PC prematurely.

There's D'n'B there most Fridays isn't there? Any time I've ambled in of a Friday it's been on, and relatively empty

iPhone is better than Android. Ok I'll entertain you. Go on - tell me more

but on the second point - You Are Wrong. If you are saying the home PC as we know it the last few years isn't dying.
PC's for most people are glorified browsers. Which they can now do pretty easily over smartphones / tablets.

Is there? I dunno. Any time I'm in there on a Friday I never end up leaving the Basement. I think there's something about Friday gigs there that are just deadly for some reason.

Speaking of tablets I'm seriously considering jumping on the bandwagon.

That 32GB Nexus 7 looks decent.

The biggest problems with PCs is that for the vast majority of people they are too complicated. As you've send, most people just use them for browsing/Farcebook/emails, etc. That's why Apple got it so right with the iPad/iPhone. They've done away with the complicated stuff for the average user. Which imo is a great thing because it's starting to do away with the dreaded "You work with computers......." phone call from family.

I'm only messing about the Iphone v Android. I've never had an Android phone so have no idea what they're like. The one thing that does concern me with them is the lack of quality control on the apps that get developed. Don't apple vet every app developed for IOS whereas anyone can make and sell an app for Android. Surely that creates a possible security issue?

I suppose you're right about the PC market as we know it now dying. The shift towards tablets, smart TV's etc etc is there to see. But I do think there'll always be people that use computers for other things, and the likes of IMac's and other powerful desktops will survive.

joker77 · 12-10-2012 3:00pm

Yea the Nexus would be the way to go for me.

Or if I had a fancy telly - something like this - an Android device the side of a pen drive that you just plug into the telly. (by fancy telly I mean a flat screen that has a HDMI input...)

Which do you think is better and will survive longer - an open ecosystem or a closed shop? Apple will fail on this, long term. As they did before.

Of course there'll always be a need for PCs. Just not for the average home user.

The need for powerful desktops is fading fast with cloud computing tbh.
