  1. Never Happy on Microsoft Working With Security Vendors · · Score: 1, Insightful

    These security vendors been taking advantage of the flaws in the windows OS's for years and making tons of money doing it. Great someone needed to do it since MS couldn't or wouldn't. However MS is now trying to hardent heir OS and remove the security holes that should have been removed years ago and what happens? People complain. And by people I mean Symantec, McAfee, etc (not the end user mind you).

    I for one am pleased to see MS trying to lock down their systems and these other vendors just need to quite whining. I am sure there will still be plenty left to fix. There always is.

  3. Give this man an Award on MySpace Predator Caught By Code · · Score: 1

    I am a big fan of privacy. But I am also a big fan you losing your rights to privacy when you continually break the law in a fashion that puts others at risk, especially minors.

    Maybe Myspace is just really that stupid (heck, their site design casues me to thik their programmer can;t be all that bright).

  4. Not to worry on Image Metrics May Revolutionize Facial Animation · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Crappy acting will still be crappy acting. Just like the foley artist is still happily employed enhancing the audio soundtrack (either digitally or old fashined foot stomping). The animator will remain gainfully employed improving and enhancing the final product.

  6. Responsability on Googling for ATM Master Passwords · · Score: 2

    We live in the Age of Information. Almost anyone can't post almost anything and make it available to just about everyone (how's that for ambiguos). This is great power. And with great power come great repsonsability (bet you didn'see that coming).

    I think the problem may lie in he fact that too many companies don't teach their employees the difference between the internet and their intranet.

  7. Maybe I am a Cynic... on Reconstructing Real Cities in Google Earth · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Even with these great tools (and believe me I myself love this),I think the underlying problems willnot change.

    1. Just because we can doesn't mean we will.

    We have had out feet and a telephone for quite a while now but ordinary citizens rarely make it to town council meetings let a lone make a call to voice their opinion.

    and, 2. Even if they did, since when to the politicians ever really listening to their constituants.

    Hope this post wasn't too much of a downer. Have a great day.

  8. My predictions were right,,, on Wal-Mart Leaks Zune Price · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I mentioned this on the last post about the Zune. The only way MS can gain marketshare is to come in well below the iPod price. If it is a better product, all the specs will just fly over the heads of most consumers. iPod is "the" MP3 player to the masses and the only thing that will convince them otherwise is price.

    Thanks for the correction. I did mean XGL.

  10. Eye Candy Good, Need for super computer bad on Vista Shell Team now Blogging · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't mind all the eye candy. Some if it's new, some not. But the thing that baffles me is that Microsoft needs the equivalent of a super computer's worth in graphics processing to make the stuff work. I haven;t seen anyting that I feel warrant that kind of power. Have you seen OpenGL? All the eye candy, and it runs on my old laptop.

  11. Very Interesting study on The Impact of Social Networking on Society · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When you are able to physically distance yourself from the physical aspect of things (you know actually talking to someone), many people seem to be able to overcome their inhibitions. This is a positive thing for many people who for some reason or another have a diffucult time being themselves around others. Of course this distancing also has the power to bring out the idiot in many of us too (you know who you are)!!!

  13. Live CD's, Sissified? on 10-Day Gentoo Installation Agony · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is the type of elitist attitude that will keep normal users from adopting Linux. The live CD is one of the best ways to prove Linux's viability as a Desktop OS. I can't count the number of Linux users I know that didn't first try it out on a live CD. "...to the point that anyone could do it...", isn't that the idea?

  14. How cute! on Zune Won't Play Old DRM Infected Files · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ah look at Microsoft trying to appeal to the masses. How cute. Sounds to me more like an excuse because they have no mechanism in place for delivering media for this device.

  15. Re:So... on Toshiba to Exchange 340,000 Laptop Batteries · · Score: 1

    Are you kidding, Sony had a inside scoop to their own manufacturing process. They probably have been buyng their batteries elsewhere for years.

  16. Things could be worse on Toshiba to Exchange 340,000 Laptop Batteries · · Score: 3, Funny

    Be grateful, things could be worse. At least these batteries don't install a rootkit and then spontaneously combust. Sony, Sony, Sony, its a good thing your so loaded. A smaller company would been dust by now.
