  1. A dream come true on Scientist Develops Caffeinated Baked Goods · · Score: 0

    Caffeine-aholics rejoice!

  2. Open source simple? on IBM to Open Source Novel Identity Protection Software · · Score: -1, Troll

    uses a type of digital certificate to control who has access to identity information in a web browser Sure, store my identity in a digital certificate, provide full source code freely, and then ask yourself how long it will take the haxor community to find a way in.
  3. Inaccuracies (or not) on Professors To Ban Students From Citing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia -- the user-created encyclopedia that's full of great stuff, and also full of inaccuracies.

    Honestly, how accurate (or inaccurate) is any online source?

    There's an official MLA citation format for online sources and using online sources is commonly encouraged. The question is, is Wikipedia any more inaccurate than the multitudes of other sources online?

  4. Which is it? on MySpace and GoDaddy Shut Down Security Site · · Score: 1

    CYA or over-zealous [self-]policing?

    /me thinks fear has got a little too strong of a grip.

  5. Universal free wi-fi on "Free Wi-Fi" Scam In the Wild · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And when wi-fi becomes a universally available free commodity (who else is betting on it?) what trickery will we see then?

  6. How much did *you* pay for this patent? on US Patent Office To Re-Examine Blackboard Patent · · Score: 1

    The SFLC explains that though such re-examinations may take a couple of years to complete, approximately '70% of re-examinations are successful in having a patent narrowed or completely revoked.'

    It's interesting that government dollars--uh, our dollars--are used to spend "years" to determine if a commercial interest may continue to make money from this patent.

    Go captialism?

  7. One for the State(s) on Maine Rejects Federally Mandated ID Cards · · Score: 1

    With an increasingly Orwellian federal government I am excited to see individual states standing up to 'Big Brother' for a change.

    The only true 'power' over the states the federal government has is primarily due to interpretation of the Commerce Clause which arguably defies the legislative intent of the original drafters of the Constitution in the first place.

  8. The forces join... on Microsoft Sells Linux To Wal-Mart · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wal-mart + Microsoft = Linux?

    I've seen fuzzy math before, but this takes the cake.

  9. Continuous Use on Cisco Lost Rights to iPhone Trademark Last Year? · · Score: 1

    A glance at trademark laws makes this appear a simple case if you consider continuous use.

    They did not use the mark continuously. So, no go Cisco.

  10. Good for Consumers on FCC Opens Market for Cable Boxes · · Score: 1

    This is basically a monopoly, so opening up the market for this (or any) product creates competition, which generally drives down prices and creates innovation (i.e. new cool features).

  11. M$ Strikes Again... on UK Schools At Risk of Microsoft Lock-In · · Score: 1

    The report also states that most establishments surveyed do not believe that Microsoft's licensing agreements provide value for money. M$ will provide anything for money. Most people simply don't like what they provide.
  12. Entrepreneurialism on Living the Good Life, Leaving Google Behind · · Score: 1

    Since when is it surprising to see entrepreneurial people leave an entrepreneurial company to pursue entrepreneurial interests?

    In other unbelievable news, thirsty people choose water to quench their thirst. Tonight, at 6...
