  2. And they are on How Apple Came To Control the Component Market · · Score: 0

    directly culpable for the added pollution, labor abuse, and displaced peoples their bespoke factories cause. But no one ever calls Apple on it, as they are all hypnotised by the very same overpriced, walled-garden trinkets.

  3. I'll wait on Bionic Eyeglasses May Boost Impaired Vision · · Score: 1

    for the Ixians, thanks.

  4. Because on Patriot Act vs. the EU's Data Protection Directive · · Score: 1

  5. Meanwhile, at Bing on Cisco Helps China Keep an Eye On Its Citizens · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is getting into bed with Baidu to help provide sanitized English language search results.

    All that's left is for Larry Ellison to announce an Oracle-based organ harvesting solution for the Central Committee vivisectionists from the deck of his yacht.

  6. Advice sought on Cisco Helps China Keep an Eye On Its Citizens · · Score: 1

    After I smash my Cisco (Lynksys) router to bits with a sledge hammer, what alternative should I get (that will run Tomato, please)?

  7. Molex connectors on Retailer Calls Rivals' Bluff On "HDMI Scam" · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they were really great... At removing skin from the unfortunate hands that had just succeeded in breaking the molecular level bonds of the joint, banging off all available sharp edges inside a computer case, and occasionally yanking free the other end of the the wires from whatever component you will now also be replacing.

    From what I understand, the Jaws of LIfe company was prototyping a hydraulically powered unit for separating molex connectors right before they were eclipsed by SATA.

    Molex: from the root word molars. Specifically, wisdom teeth.

    serifs will fsck your stuff up.

  10. Not yet on Are Google Music and Amazon Cloud Player Legal? · · Score: 1

    Amazon will end up being almost entirely platform neutral because they have no dog in the platform game.

  11. I'm confused on Microsoft Partners With Baidu, China's Top Search Engine · · Score: 1

    But what's a few dead, organ-harvested people under the bridge who voiced their opposition to the company town?

    Do you mean Beijing or Redmond?

  12. Let this be a lesson, on Is There a Formula For a Hit Song? · · Score: 1

    when dealing with the short-attention span crowd known as the Fourth Estate - most of whom don't know what that means.

  13. Well on Nortel Patents Go To Apple, Microsoft, Sony and Others · · Score: 3, Funny

    Who is Apple going after?

    Everyone who dares use the letter 'i'. Oops; someone's at the door, brb.


    /faint scream, carrier lost

  14. Great News on Nortel Patents Go To Apple, Microsoft, Sony and Others · · Score: 1

    If you're a fan of monopolism, fud, and business plans based on suing everyone else. Progress, this ain't.

  16. Killbots on Electronic Skin Gives Robots a Sense of Touch · · Score: 2

  17. Re:Black bar on Google's New Design · · Score: 1

    The constant, heavy mechanical breathing is a bit much, though.

  18. Not surpising on Ubuntu 11.10 & 11.04 To Support Apple AirPrint · · Score: 1

  23. Yee-Haw on Microsoft Launches Office 365 Cloud Suite · · Score: 1, Funny

    Screams the slack-jawed yokel with the rented backhoe, complete with fiber optic cable hunter package.

  24. Re:Fiscal Sanity? on Fusion Thrusters For Space Travel · · Score: 1

    Jingoism aside, large standing armies (comprised mostly of testosterone-fueled young men) with zero threat and bored out of their skulls tend become rather restive, with less and less regard for the mere civilians they swore to protect. Citation: Iron Man, Black Sabbath

  25. Ubuntu too on The Enterprise Is Wrong, Not Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Nearly all of the same dumb moves are being done by Ubuntu; I now look on each new version with increasing dread.

    Pardon my tinfoilism, but it damn near feels like both companies are being paid by Google to slowly commit suicide.
