uh, can someone explain this to me? ^^
Some years ago (1984) When Apple was created, Steve Jobs managed to be invited at the investigation & development quarters of Xerox there they was developing a device called "mouse" and a graphical interface OS. Xerox HQ dismissed the idea because "who will use a rat?" so Jobs "borrow" the idea and his development team for Macintosh created the "new" OS for their computers. Even the HQ of Apple hoisted a Jolly Roger.

The day of launch of Macintosh Bill Gates who teamed up with software development of Apple launched a "new" computer made on japan by NEC with a new mysterious OS called Windows 1.0 on it which coincidentally was a Graphical GUI and comes with a Little Device with wheels and buttons.

Later when Windows become the de-facto OS, Linux tried to simulate their GUI, and when MacOS wanted by a better OS, copied some Linux features, by last when Microsoft did buy Apple the new Windows GUIs started to be a ripoff of MacOS ones.

Wow 40 years summarized on 3 paragraphs!!!

If you want to know more about the early days of that battle you can see the movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley" or read the homonym book.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
