  1. Why not... on 34% of iPhone Owners Think the 4 Is 4G · · Score: 1

    All the carriers seemingly overnight started advertising their respective networks as 4G, so what difference does it make.

  2. Flavor? on Researchers Build "Squishy" Memory Device · · Score: 1

    But what does it taste like?

  3. Re:Control... on Google Wrestles With Privacy Bugs In Google+ · · Score: 1

    Your local espresso bar should be open and decentralized.

  4. The twitter results are most likely below the 15,000 content farm results with ads. I'm finding that twitter is often used as the main source of news for certain organizations and companies, this reason alone may be what motivates me to start a twitter account.

  5. Re:Good on The Patriot Act and the EU Cloud · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't hold your breath, now that government officials have access to the "one place all data will be kept" I doubt they will give that up for anything.

  6. Re:The first rule of usenet on Movie Industry Files Injunction Against UK ISP · · Score: 1

    Would clients like bintube fall under usenet?

  7. Re:Too late. on Google's New Design · · Score: 1

    I've found on the average when looking for something obscure(IT related) the top search results from Bing are more current, where the same search on Google will produce results 3-4 years old. When I do search with google I also find the "popups" regarding changing my homepage or installing chrome highly annoying.

    Turn off automatic zoom.

  9. Re:Blurry mess on Opera 11.50 Released · · Score: 1

    I just installed 11.50 and also noticed this. The previous version did not seem to have this issue. I will continue to use it for general browsing / news reading, I tried a few different firefox speeddial addons and could not find one that I liked.

  10. Re:Highly recommended! on Opera 11.50 Released · · Score: 1

    I run Opera in Fedora 15 and Mint(various versions) on netbooks and old PCs and it seems to usually have better flash performance than Firefox 3 or 4. For general browsing and news reading Opera is my favorite browser.

  11. Inside info on Geohot Joins Facebook As Product Developer · · Score: 1

    He probably took the job to get inside info on phones for jail-breaking progress.

  12. Re:I don't get it on Who Killed the Netbook? · · Score: 1

    My netbook is my fav device, it is the only rly mobile device that it is possible to type on, and sits well on my chest while laying in bed. I have mint on my GFs netbook and she uses that now more than any other device. I like the idea of the of a netbook with a solar panel, may never need to plugin again.

  13. Re:Tell me why... on Apple To Start Making TVs? · · Score: 1

    Apple will just have the courts get Samsung to hand over their future models so they can be sure to have the competitive edge.

  14. 30% on Apple To Start Making TVs? · · Score: 1

    Is apple going to force vendors to sell their product(such as pay-per-view) through itunes and require a 30% cut?

    What if you do not have a facebook account and thus no reason to be on facebook you insensitive clod! and spend time reading technet articles...

  16. doubt 50% on Women Remain the Ignored Audience In Gaming · · Score: 1

    I admit I didn't read the article due to the difficulty with reading it, what is the deal with that? There is no way women make up 50% of HD console market, I find that a very optimistic number. However, the last year I played WoW there was definitely a surge in female players, and the last time I was in CS a chic handed me my ass a few times(we were in vent so I know she was a chic).

  17. /. poll on More Users Are Shunning Facebook · · Score: 1

    Why use facebook when their is /.? Seriously, who else does not have, and never created a facebook account?

  21. It's over 9000! on Inside Amazon's Data Centers · · Score: 1

    Is this the same web service systems that couldn't support the demand(how much could it be) for lady GaGa's album?

  22. Deny the good and the bad? on Apple Rips Off Rejected App, Says Wireless Sync Developer · · Score: 1

    This doesn't bode well for the consumer if they are blocking good apps as well as the bad.

    The comment, the only way to stop piracy is to shutdown the internet, made me think of this exact example. The piece is somewhere around 10-12minutes long, the King decree it was so moving it could only be heard once a year.
