"Le nouveau phénomène". - Karim Benzema

It's no joke. It might take a bit since they don't release new stuff unless they have a commercial reason... but a techy friend of mine who's with Apple has the prototype with his macbook. Screen technology is amazing.

Seriously. I forgot to mention Apple invented the PC; windows is pretty much a knockoff of Apple's operating system; portable computer or laptop (apple 2c); the mouse (Apple Lisa introduced it); etc.

Steve Jobs also founded Pixar Animation Studios when he left Apple briefly, and pretty much invented computer animation as we know it today.

Guy was amazing.

Glorified slave labourer IMHO.

Zealous you dissapoint me. Why do you hate on Steve Jobs just becouse he is rich, smart and good looking?

None understands the smart, rich and good looking

Apple is simply amazing but until I can build my own Apple computer with custom parts that I don't necessarily need to purchase from some dickward in glasses in an Apple store, then I would buy their products.

I don't need an IPod to listen to music nor an IPad to read a book...

Jobs was a lunatic about anyone copying his products... can understand him to a certain extent. Having spoken to a lot of tech guys; most of them say that Apple uses very good components in terms of quality in their products. Is that true?

I would like to think so but once again, I like the freedom of customization when it comes to building a PC and not just buying one of Apple's rather expensive laptops or PC's. Once again, a personal preference of mine. Although, I have a serious hate for the IPad. I think it's stupid...

iPad was a lifesaver for me since i travel a lot. Have all my books, spreadsheets, powerpoints, PDFs, etc. loaded up and i can look at is from anywhere without the hasstle of carrying paper or a computer. Really a great tool for work. I also read a ton and i have all books/magazine/newpapers on there

haha Same here

Well he still ain't even close to Balotelli level

benz lost a lot of weight, but he still looks chubby in uniform for some reason

Both Higgy and Benz have slimmed down from last year....it's major factor behind their amazing forms

Doesn't look chubby... he's just stockier in build than most footballers. Wide shoulders. Same for Higuain.

yeah maybe that it, but looking at him now he should be moving about a lot quicker on the pitch(still have back issues?), not that he is slow now, i just want see him play like his lyon days a bit more

He's plenty quick now. Faster than last year imo and noticeably. He gave up some of his speed to get that strength.... not a bad tradeoff imo. He had bad balance because he was a bit out of shape for a while. But that's completely over. He's very strong on the ball. You just don't see defenders try and bully Benz because they can't.

Sports, what is your reaction going to be when Higgy gets another hattrick this Sunday???????

I'll be very happy Bill because it would mean that Madrid has won the game. What's that got to do with anything here???

sorry I'm just trollin you for all the french threads!!!

I've always respected Higuain. Don't really like his style of play... but he's excellent at it and is a top notch professional. Madrid could do a lot worse.

Right now, we are very lucky that we have 2 of the best young strikers in the world. Mou needs to play them together here and there to get enough mins to keep both satisfied. But then again, Ozil has mins problems, etc.

I actually think we have too much talent on the team right now. It's a bit unhealthy tbf lol.

Not really. If we play Higuain, Benzema, Ronaldo and Ozil together as the front 4 for most of the time (or at least like 1/3), the two strikers will have plenty of time as in the remaining matches they can alternate. Kaka and Di Maria will be backups as well, and play in at least 1/2 the matches (less for Kaka). That is, with a very fluid system where everyone can play almost every position of the 4.

Neymar would screw that up though.

After the collective training today with the France NT, Blanc did the following: Barthez went in goal and Dubuchy + Mathieu sent centering ball after centering ball from the wings... and Benzema was alone working on his air game.

Granted, I'm not expecting him to become Klose lol. But he often looks like he belongs in the special olympics with his air game. At least, he's working on it.

I saw the goals from Saturday, Benz' last one and Higgy's first were a treat to my eyes

Benz made it look so easy, but damn what a finish.

Also if Benz improves his aerial play he would be even more menacing.

It was damn hard! :lol!:
Also, the way he runs at goalkeepers /defenders is very confusing, he is really two-footed
