  1. Re:Funny how they don't mention their hidden taxes on "Apple Tax" Report Backfires On Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I guess I'm a moron then. We bought the WiFi accessory (but not for $100, it came in a well priced bundle) because the console gets played in various rooms in the house and dragging a cable around through hallways and up and down stairs didn't seem to make much sense.

  2. What I hope they have . . on World of Warcraft Expansion Details Leaked · · Score: 1

    Is the truck from the TV commercial. I haven't found that in the Burning Crusade yet.

  3. Re:Uh, no on eBay Sues Craigslist · · Score: 2, Informative

    Uh, no to Re:Uh, no There are lots of situations where dilution is legal. Like issuing options to employees that then get excercised. Or to do an acquisition using company stock. Each of those could be 'sound financial judgement' but judgement is an opinion, and eBay might have a different opinion than Craigslist majority owners or management

  4. Re:How does a disappearing antenna help? on "Stealth" Plasma Antennas · · Score: 3, Informative

    The article briefly claims the plasma attenna can be adjusted to react to the jamming. Independent feature of the ability to disappear.

  5. Re:Jobs had a sink-the-company idea: AT&T! on Apple May Be Breaking the Law With Policy On iPhone Unlocks · · Score: 0

    The last point that 'there is no connection whatsover' is just wrong. SBC and AT&T merged with the resultant company choosing to use the AT&T name and brand. SBC was certainly the controlling party in the merger, but it was a merger. Not a completely different company. It may not have any connection in it's culture to the old AT&T.

  6. Re:I respectfully disagree on Man Wins Partial Victory In Circuit City Arrest · · Score: 0

    I always thought the checking of the receipt at electronics stores was really to ensure that the customer and the checkout clerk were not conspiring to steal something by not including it in the register total. Otherwise, as you say, most of these stores the only way out is either through checkout or a lane right in front of the receipt checker.

  7. Re:Waiting to take the battery out? on Turned Off iPhone Gets $4800 Bill from AT&T · · Score: 0

    I think it's because the iPhone shares the iPod's battery issue, which is that neither is user replacable.

  8. Re:wtf?! on Former Spammer Reveals Secrets in New Book · · Score: 0

    fully clothed in balloons of course

  9. 'over the air' HD is $5 per month from comcast on Industry Insider Blasts Comcast · · Score: 0

    my experience with comcast and HD wasn't too painful. We get a fairly basic family package (no premium movie channels) and to get HD had to get a comcast digital box which costs $5 per month. We get 5 or 6 HD channels on the one set that has the digital box.

  10. Re:Huh? on Hybrid Cars to Get New Mileage Ratings · · Score: 1

    I have a 2002 Prius and have gotten 42/43 mpg over the past couple of years. Never did get better than 45 mpg. On highways we get 50+ mpg, with the average coming down because most driving is on rolling hills in suburban areas.

  11. Re:Get rid of people. on $25M Bounty Offered for Global Warming Fix · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm not up to date on my scientific theories, but isn't petroleum generally considered to be bio-derived?
