  1. Sane and Register thats a on Windows For Warships Nearly Ready · · Score: 1

    ..Oxymoron.

  2. Re:Fewer security breaches? on Is Interoperable DRM Really Less Secure? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Time you checked again. It doesn't work anymore.

  3. Mark the article tile as FUD and sensationalism. on Microsoft's Vista AV Fails Certification · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Vista doesn't come with a antivirus program.
    Live OneCare, Mcafee are not specific Vista -- You can install them on XP too.

    And 99.99% detection rate is nothing to be sneered at.

  4. Re:Can we get a new icon? on Jobs Favors DRM-Free Music Distribution · · Score: 1

    The icon should be half halo - half devil to amplify the two-faced lie his essay seems to project. Only after Pixar movies/shorts are released DRM-free can you change it to a full-halo.

  5. Re:Wait on Vista - iPod Killer? · · Score: 1

    The issue here is that Apple has the audacity to tell people not to install Vista.
    Instead of just saying 'don't install iTunes'

  6. Rebuttal in 1 URL on Gamers React to Vista Launch · · Score: 1
  7. The device cannot infect other devices or on TomTom Admits Satnav Device Infected With Virus · · Score: 2, Insightful

    your computer. So essentially this is a dead virus.

  8. DRM List on Fight DRM While There's Still Time · · Score: 4, Informative

    Someone posted a good list about Vista's DRM against XP's DRM http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/archive/2007/01/25/ 519180.aspx

  9. Re:Non-local computing on Google, Microsoft Escalate Data Center Battle · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Microsoft desperately needs new datacenters because their search index size is in need of an increased capacity. Google with its 100000++ computers is able to record every single click-through, record your chats, store your email for posterity (even after you delete it), store every single search query for several years, record your online transactions etc. not only on its own sites but other sites like slashdot for example. This has helped improve their search result and provide targetted ads among other things. Microsoft's search now algorithmcally matches Google. It now does a great job for most queries, but for some esotoric queries its small index size is very apparent.

  10. Cringley is a Pundit? on Google, Microsoft Escalate Data Center Battle · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Since when? Did he finally get his PHd which he fasely claim he had previously?

  11. Apple TV is crap anyways on Why the iPhone Keynote Was A Mistake · · Score: 0

    Competition has much better products with better UI, cheaper and higher definition. Who in the right might would get a box just to view low-def videos from apple's website.

  12. Re:uhuh on Some 'Next-Gen' DVDs May Not Work With Vista · · Score: 0

    This is not particular to Vista. Every OS is required the follow the DVD forum's requirements otherwise you get degraded playback on every OS.

  13. Refund for Macs on How to get a Refund on Your Unwanted Windows · · Score: 0

    Would be interesting to know if you can get a refund form Apple for OSX if you plan to install some other OS on it.

    --------
    No sig.

  14. Nothing exciting. on Macworld Rumor Round-Up · · Score: 2, Funny

    All of these products are already available in the market from several manufactures.

    Apple is just playing catch-up.
