  1. PalPal Sucks! on Paypal Reverses Payments Made To Indians · · Score: 1

    ....and the unfortunate reality is that there is no other option to really challenge their dominance. The sooner a new player comes along that can really give PayPal a run for their money, the better. When that challenger arrives, my PayPal account will be immediately closed!

  2. Re:Shrimp free zone? on Air Canada Ordered To Provide Nut-Free Zone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's too bad that rather than going after the root of the allergy, we stick a band-aid on it like this. (Not to mention an absolutely ridiculous band-aid!!) Parents are keeping their children too clean. They aren't giving their children a chance to develop a full, healthy immune system. It's really no wonder that all of these allergies are popping up now. We live in an almost sterile society where people are afraid to get dirty. Get dirty! Get sick! You'll be glad for it later in life!!

  3. Friends on Best Buy $39.95 "Optimization" At Best a Waste of Money · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Friends don't let friends take their computers to Best Buy!

  4. Wait for it... on The Speculative Pre-History of the iPhone · · Score: 5, Informative

    The only way to know for sure *IF* Apple will ever release a Tablet device is to wait for it. All of the rumours and "opinions" really get annoying after awhile because they all contradict one another.

  5. Living is hazardous to your health on Legislator Wants Cancer Warnings For Cell Phones · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Seriously, there isn't anything on this world that will not cause damage when used in excess. We as a society have become so addicted to everything that we've completely lost the meaning of "Moderation".

  6. What next? on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Shaming Fat Gamers · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How about patenting a system to prevent people from supporting the Jonas Brothers! Now that one would make millions!!

  7. Re:Just for fun on Judge Orders Permanent Injunction Against Psystar · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Microsoft would never do that because they'd essentially be hacking off a limb. They need Winblows on as many machines as they can.

  8. WIN! on Judge Orders Permanent Injunction Against Psystar · · Score: 1

    Who didn't see this happening (other than Psystar)?

  9. CEO Battle on Apple Counter-Sues Nokia Over Patents · · Score: 5, Funny

    Let's just put the CEO from both companies into a ring and have them fight it out. Whoever wins gets everything including the black turtleneck!

  10. Re:Not for teens anymore? on Judges Can't "Friend" Lawyers in Florida · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It's one of those things you either get or don't get. Personally I like Facebook because I can have a quick glance at what friends are doing (assuming they post that info) and then comment as I see fit. Relationships with people have become very watered down over the years and now can be summed up by a few lines of text on a social networking site. Some people you invest more time in and have meaningful conversations with in the real world, others you enjoy only having to put up with small tidbits.

  11. Re:It's common sense on Judges Can't "Friend" Lawyers in Florida · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The only difference here is that you have a visual representation via Facebook. The opposing lawyer could be friends of the judge regardless of whether they are Facebook friends, and in that case, you'd never even know. This is absolutely ridiculous and a waste of countless people's time and energy. We're taking things far too far under the guise of trying to protect everyone. You can't bubble wrap the entire world! Let people make mistakes and then learn from them rather than precluding people from being able to make those mistakes and learn. Life experience is a huge asset. Being forced to blindly follow the whim of others benefits no one.

  12. Really? on Judges Can't "Friend" Lawyers in Florida · · Score: 4, Funny

    When are we going to realize that the further we push issues like this, the more damage we're doing to our society. Pretty soon it's going to be illegal to look at someone if they're having a bad hair day assuming it's Thursday of the 5th month with a full moon happening within 3 days.

  13. LogMeIn on Simple, Free Web Remote PC Control? · · Score: 1

    I've been using LogMeIn for both Mac and Windows machines and have had zero problems. Works through corporate firewalls and very little to setup and maintain. There is a free option, as well as paid options which give you more functionality.

  14. Re:Let me get this straight... on Desktop As a Cellphone Extension? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually yes, I do always carry my wallet with me.

  15. Re:Let me get this straight... on Desktop As a Cellphone Extension? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have to agree. It sounds like you're trying to reinvent the wheel when the problem can be solved by simply carrying your cell phone with you. It's not like it's a 50lb weight strapped to your back.

  16. m1330 is grounded on New Dell Laptops Give Users a Literal Shock · · Score: 1

    Best to get your facts straight. My m1330 comes with a grounded 3-prong plug and I suspect mine isn't the only one.
