Re: It'll be the.. (@Ted Treen)
Apparently not obviously enough for you.
DrStrangeLug's comment parodies the way that Apple often acts and/or is treated as though it invented things like the MP3 player, smartphone, etc, rather than merely launching commercially and critically successful versions. JDX's comments parody the image of an Apple fan as genuinely believing the invention myth, and of Apple announcing each new iteration of a product as revolutionary when it's merely a minor step forwards.
The clues were: DrStrangeLug's abstract description of a desktop computer, and JDX's singling out of 1997's iMac — the first big Jobs launch that did a lot to create the modern Apple — as the original computer.
For extra amusement, lurker appears to think JDX is being serious and, apparently, so do you. I further found it amusing that, given the level of debate around here, it's unclear whether the down votes are from anti-Apple people not getting the joke or pro-Apple people taking things too reverently.
I haven't specifically checked the schedules but there are probably some sitcoms on BBC3/CBS (delete as per your side of the Atlantic) this week that will cater to those that need this level of explanation.
Re: It'll be the..
What do we think on the down votes here? Is it the blindly pro- or the blindly anti-Apple failing to get the joke?

Re: Ah memories
The Slogger has a really neat trick — if the program counter goes beyond D000 (if memory serves) then writes automatically go to the video page. Othwise they go to the shadow page. Why? Because that's where the ROM routines for graphics output are and the original machine ROM is used unmodified.
Fanbois taught to use Apple's new killer app: Microsoft Windows
Re: Wow (@Arthur 1)
You take "Apple is preparing to train its shop staff to use Microsoft Windows in a bid to flog more Macs to business users reared on PCs" to mean "users who don't want to use OS X"? That's like saying that if shop staff are trained to demonstrate a browser then that means they're targeting customers who don't want to use desktop applications. It's a false dichotomy.
VirtualBox is available and just as good as elsewhere. Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt and assuming all decisions were made purely on merit, I imagine that Apple might prefer to push Parallels because it does a lot of work tightly integrating the two environments. For example, file associations work in both directions, from the Finder onto the Windows desktop and vice versa, the start menu is added to the dock, your Windows applications appear in /Applications and hence in the Launchpad, etc.
It's actually why I stopped using Parallels and started using VirtualBox. I needed Windows for a particular application only and otherwise to be contained in its box — I actively didn't want Parallels to start messing about with my whole system.
Re: Wow (@Arthur 1)
There's really no basis to conclude that Apple is "trying to sell systems to people that don't want to use their operating system". Much more likely they're trying to sell systems to people that do want to use the Apple operating system but falsely believe that they can't because a vital piece of software isn't available in a native port.
Otherwise they'd be demoing BootCamp rather than Parallels.
Re: Those boring accountants are going to need it
I've seen architects with Macs, but they've all been running BootCamp. I suspect Autodesk noticed the same thing, hence why AutoCAD is now available in a Mac native port again after a nearly two-decade absence.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak disses Ashton Kutcher's Steve Jobs
Re: "...another upcoming Steve Jobs movie"
This movie hasn't sold. Deadline's summary of the weekend US box office results was: "Oprah's PR Blitz Helps 'The Butler' Open #1 With $25M: Soft Box Office As 'Kick Ass 2′ Falls, 'Jobs' Biopic Dies, 'Paranoia' Bombs"
See the original — http://www.deadline.com/2013/08/did-oprah-affect-box-office-the-butler-tops-box-office-friday/ — for the full text, but highlights are:
Flopping in wide release (2,381 theaters) was ... Jobs [which] came in only #7 with a meager $6.7M despite a plethora of TV ad buys. ... Rotten Tomatoes critics only gave it 24% positive reviews because of its superficial made-for-TV depiction of a complex creative and business icon. Still it's surprising how many Apple devotees stayed away despite the marketing's psychographic targeting to them.
iPhone 5S: 64-bit A7, 128GB storage, flashy ƒ/2.0 camera, and...
64-bit, why?
If they'll be shipping it with only 1gb of RAM and given that iOS doesn't use virtual memory for process storage, why would Apple want to transition? The only use under iOS as currently designed would be to allow larger sections of the disk to be memory mapped (a virtual memory use Apple does permit), which is not exactly a limitation developers often run up against.
I could understand it if the risk were ignoring the next step until it's too late but the 64-bit ARM architecture is ready to go and Apple controls both the tools and the channel of distribution so it can force very quick changes in those.
As Apple doesn't usually implement technology until there's a pressing business need to do so, this rumour doesn't sound all that likely to me.
Peak Apple: Samsung hits DOUBLE the market share of iPhones
Re: anyone know the breakdown
While it's possible Apple's next release will shake things up, years of Intel's next processor always being the one to unseat ARM, the next Windows Phone to be the one that storms the market, next year to be the year of the Linux desktop, etc, I've come to the conclusion that tech forum commenters have a very skewed idea of how quickly these things change.
General trends will probably continue.

Re: Say what you want about the EU... (@MrXavia)
On the contrary, quite a lot of the fundamental employment legislation — e.g. the Equal Pay Act 1970 — was brought in only either to meet EU obligations or to bring UK law into line with European expectations with an eye towards future membership.
The way EU law works in the UK is that it has to be explicitly enacted by our parliament. They have an accelerated process for a lot of the piecemeal regulations but whenever something big comes along they often write a full-blown domestic bill for it.

Asus will bung 'Nexus 7 2' fondle-droids on Blighty's shelves this month
Re: Specs make the iPad Mini look REALLY crap.
I own: an iPad 3 and a new Nexus 7.
The 7's user experience still isn't quite as smooth as the iPad, for technical reasons that are fairly easy to understand: iOS has Core Animation, which handles 60fps user interface transitions in a separate thread with all the tricky main thread interaction stuff handled for you, and has essentially programmatic layout where writers need optimise for only three screen layouts. Android is declarative and people can't reasonably optimise for every device out there.
If there's a reason the iPads feel more responsive then it's probably that, but it's a very shallow impression. If I actually do things like time how long it takes an application to launch, how long it takes a web page to appear, etc, then the Nexus wins — and it does so for half the price.
Android approaches 80% smartphone share as Apple's iPhone grows old
Re: hmm
Are you Michael Dell?
IBM opens up Power chips, ARM-style, to take on Chipzilla
Re: But why?
I'm curious about this too, but with the caveat that the PowerPC architecture obviously has some advantages for some demographics — the first generation XBox was x86 based but the 360 switched to PowerPC, even at the cost of Microsoft having to buy a company to supply emulation software for backwards compatibility. Similarly you'll find PowerPC-derived parts in the PS3 and every Nintendo since the Gamecube.
Then again, both Sony and Microsoft have switched to essentially the same x86 architecture for the next generation so maybe that demonstrates nothing.
Re: Too Little, Too Late
Some Android titles are built using the native development kit, which builds directly for the ARM and whatever else the developer chooses. If an app is compiled for native execution then usually it's a game — it's especially likely with ported titles.
Besides customisability, amongst ARM's other strengths are code density (in thumb mode, anyway) and power efficiency.
You're doing WHAT with friends? Zynga sues Bang With Friends maker
Re: Odd
I guess in England & Wales they could try to argue passing off — that the second company is trying to acquire goodwill by naming their product similarly to the first company's, and in so doing is damaging the first company's standing. But it requires a proper misrepresentation whereby Bang With Friends would actually be meant to be perceived as a Zynga product rather that just having a bit of fun with the name so, yeah, it feels unlikely.
PEAK APPLE: iPad market share hits the skids
Per GeekBench numbers the iPads really divide into three groups:
The iPad 1, with a score of 454.
The iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPad Mini with scores of 781, 791 and 745 respectively.
The iPad 4 with a score of 1756.
So if you bought an iPad 2 then you've got a device a shade faster than one of the current generation models. Naturally app makers are therefore still going to optimise for that level of performance.
Conversely if you went out and bought a Motorola Xoom or one of the other early Android tablets then not only did your specific device fail to capture enough of the market to be interesting in itself but also the devices that have powered the subsequent explosion in Android share are noticeably faster (yes, even the Kindle Fire). So app makers are unlikely to spend much time optimising for that level of performance.
Did you two read the same article as I did? The third paragraph says:
"... 'pads, including white box devices, grew 43 per cent to 51.7 million standalone products."
The overall tablet market is very healthy; the story is simply that Apple's shipments are down 14% and that in a quickly inflating market that has translated to a drop in market share of almost 20 points. So there's a bit of a changing of the guard going on, with various flavours of Android (ie, I'm counting Amazon's fork) in the ascendant.
Re: Tweaking
I would imagine Samsung's impact on Apple is very limited compared to that of Asus/Google and Amazon.
Lingering fingerprint fingering fingered in iOS 7 for NEW iPHONE
Re: Great until...
Depends how they implement it; the (in my personal experience, quite frequent) home button failures are to do with moving parts whereas a fingerprint scanner — at least the sort you usually see on laptops — doesn't have any moving parts. So I guess it depends on what's going to happen to the button overall.
Google menaces Apple's 3-year-old toddler with its cheap stream tech
Re: Anyone here actually got Apple TV?
I don't think they're selling very well at all. The Apple third quarter results press release (http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2013/07/23Apple-Reports-Third-Quarter-Results.html) says this:
The Company sold 31.2 million iPhones, a record for the June quarter, compared to 26 million in the year-ago quarter. Apple also sold 14.6 million iPads during the quarter, compared to 17 million in the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 3.8 million Macs, compared to 4 million in the year-ago quarter.
The Apple TV isn't mentioned anywhere in the press release summary; one can therefore assume it's not significant to the larger report.
Re: WTF? Even as a MacBook Air user I presume the article was tongue in cheek.
... and as someone aware of OS/2 and exposed to the standard array of Acorn machines that filled UK schools in the late 80s through to the early 90s, I am amused to see Amiga owners moaning that they had pre-emptive multitasking a decade before 90% of the market given that they didn't have (i) built-in buttons, menus or any other widgets; (ii) protected memory; or (iii) any significant inter-app communications.
It was a diverse mix back then — no single system ticked every box.
Re: DLNA
I think this is Google's attempt to sweep away DLNA and AirPlay in favour of building programmability into the receiver based on emerging web standards — assuming Google's "everything must be approved by us before deployment" stance is temporary that will remove the gatekeeper from the process while allowing parties with content to control development and deployment cycles.
Although a lot of TVs have very similar programmability built in, few of them are mutually compatible and most of them have an app store in the middle. If you're Amazon or whomever, you can't just write your mobile client and your web app and have the former instruct the TV to move to the latter.
Pikmin to the rescue: Can Nintendo revamp revive Wii U fortunes?
I think Nintendo's problem is that its brand is perceived as amusement for normal people. That helped a lot when the only competition was Sony and Microsoft's ever better visualised games in which army men tell you to walk yo a certain place. Now though Nintendo is competing with Google and Apple, and the target Nintendo consumer no longer thinks games are worth £40.

Re: :-(
Since coming to the US I've been required to submit fingerprints: (i) in order to apply for a visa; (ii) every time I wish to enter the country; and (iii) in order to get a driving licence. The last one applies equally to US citizens, and is the general norm for official agencies.

Apple MacBook Air 11-inch 2013: Netbook with next-gen tech
Re: Leading the pack (@Mark Broadhurst)
I think this may be what is happening:
When the MaBook has better battery life, people who want better battery life buy it. They say they like it because it has better battery life.
When the MacBook is lighter, people who want a lighter laptop buy it. They say it is better because it is lighter.
When people imagine there's some sort of pro-Apple cheer leading squad conspiracy, their mind just assumes that any pro-Apple comment must have an ulterior motive.
Acer silences Thunderbolt
Re: back in the day
Per CNET, Apple wanted $1/port circa 1999. Licensing is now handled by everyone's other favourite, the MPEG LA, seemingly for more like $0.25/device but I can't find any confirmation of when it was handed over and therefore when prices became more reasonable.
AnandTech reports that there's no per-port fee for Thunderbolt so it looks like the cost is just whatever the actual chips cost from Intel.
So a fairly obvious prediction: Thunderbolt will take off if and when Intel incorporates it with whatever other silicon so that they're offering it for free if you buy whatever the modern equivalent of a centrino is.
Apple needs help: iWatch, 'Retina' iPad mini delayed until 2014?
Re: A6 probably, not A5X or A6X
No, I stand corrected. Based on a component costing over at Tech Insights, the key physical components in an iPhone 5 are:
• the A6 processor; probably fabricated by TSMC or Samsung;
• RAM from Elpida;
• antenna switch and wifi/bluetooth wireless chips from Murata (incorporating a Broadcom component);
• a Triquint power amplifier;
• an Avago chip for LTE/UMTS/CDMA;
• four separate parts from Skyworks for power amplification;
• a Dialog Semiconductor power manager;
• a Cirrus Logic audio codec;
• accelerometer and gyroscope from STMicroelectronics;
• further Broadcom components for the touchpad controller;
• Qualcomm chips for further LTE stuff, DC-HSPA+, EV-DO, GSM, CDMA, etc and power management thereof;
• a Texas Instruments touchscreen controller;
• SanDisk flash; and
• an RF Micro Devices antenna.
How many of those companies are suing Apple or is Apple suing?

Microsoft's next device could be a Surface Watch
Do people really want a smart watch?
I'm aware of the precedent — people completely failed to sell any tablet computers for more than a decade before that market really opened up — but the Sony smart watches are mature, inexpensive at around $100, and they work with Android phones so they do email alerts, Twitter, Facebook, whatever else your phone does. Yet nobody is buying them.
Google brings Blink-powered Chrome to Windows and Mac OS X
Re: Did you mean..

I make that four years before Apple, six further years before Google, four years since Google. That'll do for dividing credit, surely?
Chromebooks now the fastest-growing segment of PC market
Re: Better than windows 8 for a laptop?
As mentioned above, it's unclear what proportion of the market the sub-$300 bracket accounts for and therefore not technically clear that Chrome is gaining traction. It could easily be that there were basically no sub-$300 laptops and now there are some, but most of those on offer run Chrome.
That being said, if you couple this with the statistic that more than 90% of laptops costing more than $1,000 sold are Macs it does start to look like Microsoft may be about to suffer a bit of a pincer movement.
Nokia tears wrapper off Lumia 1020 monster imaging mobe
Fantastic work on slimming it down
Based on the unwieldy 808 I expected the phone to fall uncomfortably between two stools — lacking both the convenience of any other phone and the image quality of a full camera*. It seems they've resolved the first issue. Good work, Nokia.
(*) having been asked to cite sources on my previous assertion, here's one: http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Mobiles/Column-right/Mobile-rating — "However, the PureView's small exposure troubles in high contrast images, and its very slight color casting and color shading flaws in outdoor settings illustrate that the smartphone is not perfect – cellphone and tablet cameras still have a lot to accomplish to meet the quality of the best DSCs."

Sleek Nokia Lumia details EXPOSED ahead of Thursday's disrobing
Re: I'm still unclear who the target audience is
"What's the correct phone shape? A 5.5" Galaxy Note?"
Candybars seem to be the preferred shape. Candybars with bits poking out not so much.
"Says who?"
DPReview, DxOMark, pretty much all the objective reviews. It's the best camera-in-a-phone on the market by a healthy margin but it was found lacking compared to the modern compact cameras. It's a small sensor and a tiny lens. Nokia can't beat physics.
"First you're saying it's not as good, now you're saying it is better but no one cares - which is it?"
You failed to comprehend the point I attempted to make. It's worse than a dedicated camera. It's better than other cameraphones. But it's less convenient than other cameraphones, and the lesson of MP3s is that convenience trumps quality.
Re: Optics...
But! They've paid all that money to be able to print 'Carl Zeiss' on their lenses! So that makes them better, right?
Re: Lens Resolution
You don't gain large files; the large number of megapixels are processed to produce an ordinary resolution output. So what the device primarily gains over an ordinary 5MP sensor is colour resolution, for better post processing.
I guess it's easier to make photocells more sensitive (as is necessary to make them smaller because they'll receive less light) than to give them a greater overall range?
I'm still unclear who the target audience is
So it's not really conveniently shaped as a phone and its photos aren't as good as a real camera? I can't help feeling this is like producing an MP3 player that can output 400Khz audio or something like that — yes, most people could tell the difference in a blind test but, no, nobody is sufficiently bothered about it to put up with the inconvenience.
So I guess it's just supposed to help attach better-than-usual photography to the Nokia brand and not actually to sell?
Samsung Galaxy S3 explodes, turns young woman into 'burnt pig'
Re: And THIS is why you bu an iPhone.
This is a risk with all lithium-ion batteries; Apple uses the same chemistry as everyone else.
Assuming external chargers are available then technically this is a reason to pick the Samsung over the Apple — the S3 (and indeed the S4) both have removable batteries so you could keep the phone next to your bed in case of emergencies on one battery while your other charges in some other part of the house. Charging tends to heat batteries so therefore is an occasion when the risk of combustion very slightly increases.

BBC abandons 3D TV, cites 'disappointing' results
Re: It was "stereoscopic", not "3D".
"Um, unless you have a number of cameras arranged spherically around a given point of interest capturing the subject simultaneously, the image captured - whether using a lightfield camera or not - will always be from the point of view of the camera."
An ideal light field camera captures every ray of light hitting a surface as direction + colour. An ideal screen would reproduce those rays. So the hypothetical reproduced image is the same as looking through a window at the original scene.
I don't know about you, but I would consider the view through my window to be 3d, even though it doesn't project anything into my room and I can't move it.
Re: It was "stereoscopic", not "3D".
Lightfield displays* have been invented for true 3d images, they're just beyond realistic mass-market manufacture and there's no content whatsoever.
* if implemented in an artificially ideal capacity they would capture every ray of light that hits a plane — recorded as colour plus direction — and reproduce those later. So it's the rays of light that are reproduced, not a projection (or two projections) of them; you're free to focus for yourself, to tilt your head however you want, etc. They're achieved that with an array of micro-lenses in front of an image plane, so at each point that would be a single pixel on a traditional screen is a lens and which of the inner pixels you see depends on the angle between your eye and the lens. But that means multiplying up the panel resolution by a very large number and then producing and aligning the microlenses with sufficient quality.
The Lytro camera does this in reverse, which is why its photos can be refocussed after the fact and also why they're so low resolution compared to the output of ordinary 2d sensors.

Fox and Redgrave dynasties join forces in Dorian Gray
Editorial Staff • London, Off-West End • 30 Jan 2014
Young members of the famous Redgrave and Fox dynasties will appear in Dorian Gray at Riverside Studios in April.
Daisy Bevan, granddaughter of Vanessa Redgrave and daughter of Joely Richardson, and Jack Fox, youngest son of James Fox and nephew to Edward Fox, will both make their stage debuts in the production.
Adapted by Linnie Reedman with music and lyrics by Joe Evans, Dorian Gray, adapted from Oscar Wilde's classic novel about a man who preserves his youthful looks thanks to a hidden portrait, "recreates the dark, murky underbelly of late 19th century London".
Dorian Gray, which runs at Riverside Studios from 16 April to 10 May 2014, started life as a one night gala performance at London's Cafe Royal.
Jack Fox has appeared in the TV series Mr Selfridge, Fresh Meat, Lewis, Privates and Dracula. Daisy Bevan, the fourth generation of her family to enter the profession, has just finished filming The Two Faces of January with Kirsten Dunst and Oscar Isaac, due out in the spring.

Talk:Langues d'oïl
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the debate was move. —Nightstallion (?) 09:57, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Article name[edit]
I think this should be moved back to "Langues d'Oïl". It's the term (even in English) that I have seen more frequently.
A google search reveals 28,700 hits for "Langues d'Oïl", and only about 15k for "Oïl languages". Furthermore, "Oil Languages" is a misspelling.
Anyone oppose? The Jade Knight 01:33, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- This page used to be at Oïl languages. We also have the fairly superfluous List of Oïl languages. I was (and still am) quite content with Oïl languages, as that's what I say in English myself. What I do not say in English is Oil languages - not only a misspelling but a mispronunciation. Man vyi 07:16, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- And, of course, this page is still in Category:Oïl languages! Man vyi 11:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Furthermore, the argument that diacritics are not used in English (and so that therefore the Oïl languages should be renamed in English Wikipedia) hardly stands up when one looks at:
- Franco-Provençal language
- Provençal language
- Niçard
- Māori language
- Mócheno language
- Pfälzisch language
- Na-Dené languages
- Bokmål
- Meänkieli
- Võro language
- Luiseño language
- etc
Man vyi 11:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Let alone words like "naïve" and "fiancé". The Jade Knight 19:26, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Okay but ...[edit]
I made the same search for Langues d'Oïl and many of the results were in French so I'm not sure your conclusions are accurate.
It is a shame that people are starting to use diacritics in English because English is one of the few languages that uses the Latin alphabet without diacritics. Yet they are starting to creep in. For example, the American Heritage dictionary now says "Noël" is the preferred variant of Noel. The etymology says it was spelled "Noel" in Middle English. In French it is spelled "Noël." I see little reason to start using diacritics in English other than to impress. However, the term Oil Languages is misleading so I reluctantly concede this point but only when referring to other languages as all your Wikipedia examples do. I think "naive" and "fiance" are fine without the pretension of diacritics.Tim Q. Wells 20:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Diacritics in names are not pretentious (although let's make an exception for self-conscious typographic tomfoolery like Mötley Crüe, but then Wikipedia accepts it because that's the name of the band). But that aside, do we now have consensus for returning the article to any of:
- Oïl languages
- Langues d'oïl
- Langues d'Oïl
- Oïl language family
- another option (non-oily)? Man vyi 22:32, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Borrowed words into English regularly retain diacritics. This certainly makes much more sense from an orthographic point of view. I am actually of the opposite opinion of your own, Tim Q. Wells, and it bothers me (from a pronunciation standpoint) to see "fiancé" spelled without the accented "é". Italisize borrowed words, if you like, but at least spell them correctly.
- Back to the task at hand, a google search of "'Oil languages'" offers less than 600 results (almost in all cases it appears to be the acronym OIL, as in ontology interface layer). Clearly this is non-standard usage, even in English. Again, searching google, "'langue d'oïl' -daml" results in 49,100 English results. "'Oïl language' -daml" results in less than 11,000 English results, and "'Oil language' -daml" in less than 700 English results. I suggest we use what is clearly more common (Langue/Langues d'oïl). As for whether or not to capitalize the O, I do not know, and do not particularly care. The Jade Knight 01:06, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- "'Language of Oïl' -daml" actually seems to be the least common form of this term, yielding 265 English hits on Google. Google is usually a pretty good indicator of usage. The Jade Knight 19:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Requested move (2006)[edit]
Languages of Oïl → Langues d'Oïl – It is inconsistent with other articles whose titles are about language groups. (copied from the entry on the WP:RM page)
- Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your vote with ~~~~
- Support. Despite being in principle against non-English titles and diacritic creep, Langues d'Oïl seems to be the correct title. A pure English title would be the somewhat confusing "Yes Languages." LuiKhuntek 19:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Support. Tim Q. Wells 19:28, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Support with one proviso: "Langues d'oïl" (uncapitalized) appears to be near-universal. I suggest we go with the lowercase form for this reason. The Jade Knight 01:31, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Support ρ¡ρρµ δ→θ∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 10:09, 5 February 2006 (UTC) - as for caps or lower case - go with most common usage.
- Support I studied French for 8 years and I've always found Langues d'oïl. GhePeU 10:33, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Support "Langues d'oïl" - with the diacritic and a lowercase "o". Saintamh 22:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Support (agreeing with JK and Saintamh) Tamfang 06:26, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- Add any additional comments
"Language of Oïl"? Is that what is spoken at OPEC?

Why is there nothing about Switzerland here? See Swiss French article. How did French reach the western cantons of Switzerland, and how long has it been there? --MacRusgail 15:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
It seems there is a differénce between conforming to common term, and Frenchification. Is the titling of this article not more in accord with the latter? -Stevertigo 21:30, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Actual Use?[edit]
Aside from a few quaint street signs, shop names and hobbyists, is there any use of an oïl language other than French spoken at a level that would be unintelligible to the average Frenchman?
I don't ask this to be snarky, I am genuinely interested in whether Gallo, Champagnois, Picard, Burgundian, etc. actually exist in any real usable form--a search in Google for most of these languages yields little more than links to Wikipedia, and other than Walloon, I don't think any figures are given to the number of speakers.
Also, how much does each oïl language diverge French (in comparison, say, to Scots vs. English?)01:35, 29 January 2009 (UTC)01:35, 29 January 2009 (UTC)01:35, 29 January 2009 (UTC)01:35, 29 January 2009 (UTC)01:35, 29 January 2009 (UTC)01:35, 29 January 2009 (UTC)184.108.40.206 (talk)
- As is the case with most of these minority languages, there is a problem of visibility - excluded from official use, they are used mostly at home or within traditional spheres - down on the farm, in the pub, at village meetings, rural markets and other arenas where speakers are likely to gather. As a Norman speaker, I know some Gallo speakers and Picard speakers, but that's just my anecdotal experience. Man vyi (talk) 07:17, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- Could you speak Norman and be understood by Gallo and Picard speakers and vice versa?01:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- I manage some simple and slow conversations with Gallo-speakers. I've attended story-telling and drama evenings and got the gist, and I can listen to Gallo broadcasts (but any humour or topical references go right over my head, so I don't manage to follow all that much). Anecdote: a couple of years I made some travel arrangements for some Gallo speakers and the meeting point on arrival was to be the harbour; they understood everything I communicated except the word for harbour - which turned out to be somewhat crucial. Picard's more difficult for me, as I come from the west so I only have occasional contact even with Cauchois speakers. By all accounts, Picard is easier to follow for Cauchois speakers. I've managed to be in a meeting where some of the discussion took place in Picard, but it was very difficult to follow. Walloon defeats me, really, and I've never got the impression that the few Walloon speakers who've heard me have ever been able to follow my Norman. None of this, of course, is encyclopaedic, but may be of interest. Man vyi (talk) 16:35, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
- Could you speak Norman and be understood by Gallo and Picard speakers and vice versa?01:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- The French actor Dany Boon speaks Picard fluently, and released a comedy DVD in the language (with French subtitles). Funnyhat (talk) 02:22, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
- Despite anecdotal evidence to the contrary, the fact is that many of these languages are endangered and some may already be extinct. Others survive outside of France where they have been suppressed less aggressively. Take for example Occitan, which survives in Italy and Spain but has almost disappeared from France. Or Wallon and Picard, which are still widely spoken in Belgium.Dave (djkernen)|Talk to me|Please help! 19:23, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
If this is Langues d'oïl and the other is Langues d'oc, what is Langues de si ? 126.96.36.199 (talk)
- I think that referred to Catalan and other Ibero-Romance languages. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 02:26, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
If it states how to say oïl, then I have failed to see it. Varlaam (talk) 00:06, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- I've been pronouncing it like "wheel", but it'd be good to have clarification from someone who knows better than I. The Jade Knight (talk) 22:38, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think it's pronounced like "wheel," because normally there needs to be a "u" after the "o" to make that sound. In modern French, I believe it's a diphthong pronounced like "uh-eel" - though I'm not sure if an archaic word like this follows modern phonetic rules. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 23:15, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
- L'Académie française retient la définition suivante : la langue d'oïl regroupe l'ensemble des parlers pour lesquels oui se disait oïl (prononcez [wi] ou [wil], d'où "oui").
- So, the minion of the august Académie française says we should say "wee" or "wheel" but monophthongously.
- (Now there's a word that manages to find its way into virtually every conversation.)
- Varlaam (talk) 22:26, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- "wheel" seems ok, then. The Jade Knight (talk) 07:58, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, since I was never sure if I should pronounce the final "L" or not, I've just been pronouncing it with a "dark L". XOXO, Dave (djkernen)|Talk to me|Please help! 18:09, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
According to the Petit Robert (which is not so petit), it's /dɔjl/ in French, but I don't think anyone says "Oyl languages" in English. "Wee" is probably fine, but might be associated with the more contemporary name, langues d'oui. — kwami (talk) 19:05, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
- If we are to take the spelling with trema at face value (which for Old French isn't quite unjustified), and Wiktionary too, /o.il/ is the original Old French pronunciation. Since in Modern French, aï usually stands for /a.(j)i/, as in Haïti or haïr, but sometimes also for /aj/, as in Taïwan or faïence, pronouncing oïl as either /o.(j)il/ or /ɔjl/ would seem to be fine. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 20:58, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Location of articles on oïl varieties[edit]
Why are some articles on oïl varieties located at "XXX language" and others at "XXX dialect". --JorisvS (talk) 08:10, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
The green and yellow map suposed to show the distribution of these languages is more or less meaningless without a key. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:56, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

text:
It's become a familiar formula for the Amarillo High Sandies in three years under coach Mel Maxfield, and for that matter the three-decade tenure of coach Larry Dippel before him.
The Sandies have made a science of running the Wing-T, which may seem like an anachronism in this age of the spread offense. Because it isn't broken, there appears to be no reason to fix it.
Not to slight Amarillo High's defense, but setting the tone offensively will be the key to the game for the Sandies. If they can put together some consistently long, clock-draining drives, that will take pressure off the defense and keep Amarillo High well-rested to deal with Tascosa's newly minted option attack led by quick quarterback Peyton Brooks.
Odessa High found out what a prototypical AHS offensive performance can be in last week's season opener, which Amarillo High won 56-16. The Sandies ran for 351 yards and, for good measure, threw for 164 more.
Amarillo High has been an equal-opportunity offense running the ball, as the Sandies use their backs in shifts. Seniors Cole Sanchez and Josh Woods ran for 113 and 93 yards last week, respectively.
This shouldn't come as any surprise to Tascosa. Sanchez and Woods were part of last year's running game that had 318 yards in a 34-3 win against the Rebels.
The Sandies also return two starting offensive linemen from that game, guard Blake Borger and tackle Taylor Downs. Borger likely will be lined up across from Tascosa defensive tackle Lance Sehr, a returning All-District 2-5A pick, and if Borger wins most of those matches, the Sandies will win the battle up front with a general size advantage.
Against Odessa High, the Sandies jumped to a 42-7 halftime lead, which included Gabriel Rodriguez throwing two touchdowns to Ryan Sluder.
If Amarillo High has trouble getting started offensively, though, it could be a tougher night than expected for the Sandies, who are 21-point favorites.
Tascosa got untracked offensively in the second half of last week's 42-21 loss to Palo Duro, and if Amarillo High lets the Rebels stick around, it could be that much more interesting.
