    "... from the shape... companies steal our ideas." They are saying our phone is rectangular and nobody else can also produce a rectangular phone seems ridiculous(asinine, other 3-4 syllable adverbs), yet you agree with this?

    Anybody care to wager how McAfee knows about intrusions into so many different networks? Anonymous/lulzsec provide proof of hacks, how do we know this isn't a hoax.

  11. Re:No one ever got fired for buying IBM on Governments, IOC and UN Hit By Massive Cyber Attack · · Score: 1

    From the article it sounds like pure speculation with Russia tossed in for good measure. What I want to know is, were these McAfee clients, else how did they discover these intrusions in so many different networks.

  12. Re:Consumer-grade services on What 'Consumerization of IT' Really Means For IT · · Score: 1

    I don't think consumer devices are fine at all from a support standpoint. Has anybody here tried to fix a legitimate problem on a Mac, the OS is not friendly to try to correct when the issue is deeper than switches and checkboxes, such as a corrupt index for one example. Also, has anybody tried replacing a screen on a mac product, compared to replacing parts a Dell precision laptop. Usually I see mac products working as an expensive dumb-terminal where the user needs to connect to terminal services to do most of their work anyways.

  13. Re:Sad new paranoid world on Missouri Law Says Students, Teachers Can't Be Facebook Friends · · Score: 1

    What about the opposite end of the spectrum? Apparently my highschool physics teacher was good looking, girls would lean over his desk letting their breasts hang out to ask him questions. Girls without breasts would sit in the front with miniskirts and spread their legs. I'm not sure the student body needed any more means for contact in this type of situation.

  14. Re:The Three Part Yawn on Blizzard Reveals Diablo 3 (Real Money) Auction House · · Score: 1

    I'm worried there will hopefully be some policy or something in place to prevent all mats/items sold for USD, so players that do not want to use real funds will be able to buy items with virtual gold.

    Maybe not true for any complaint, but we had Paypal reverse transactions on us while the buyer was in possession of the merchandise, so it did and can happen.

  17. Pinch pennies on Blizzard Reveals Diablo 3 (Real Money) Auction House · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or does it sound like that is exactly what they will be doing. So much of WoW has been homogenized moving toward a seemingly arcade style game, the auction house does not play as big a role for obtaining materials or items as it did years ago.

  18. Re:People seem confused about Virgin, let me clari on Tens of Thousands Flee From BT and Virgin · · Score: 1

    Are call centers a new phenomenon to the UK? I find foreign call centers to be commonplace even for small business. It seems virgins call center would be superior to the call center for the sole cable provider in Northern Michigan where they simply read from a generic script.

  20. Re:I can't begin to tell you how much I hate PayPa on LulzSec Calls For PayPal Boycott, Spokesman Arrested · · Score: 1

    I stopped selling on ebay for reasons like this. The buyer could file any complaint and paypal would reverse the transaction and the buyer would have the merchandise and their money back and very little incentive to return the merchandise. Also common was buyers reporting they never received the merchandise, paypal reverses the transaction, after a few lengthy phone calls a fax of the shipping receipt and week later they did return those payments.
