    So, in effect, the anti-pollution robofish are pollution themselves.

  3. Re:I'll take my Firefox add-ons instead , thanks on Google's Amazing Browser Experiments · · Score: 1

    But it also makes the source code more readily accessible. Not always what people want.

    In FF you can tab to the form elements, type in the search box, but for some reason the enter key doe nothing, nor does tabbing to search and using space/enter submit the form... weird

  6. Re:what's STILL missing on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 1

    3GP videos are small and bad quality, but the iphone/touch can play them natively. Old cell phones with equally shitty cameras and far lesser space have no problem doing video.

  7. Re:Wow. on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Lite" versions of apps exist as the enticing "Try before you buy"

    For everything else (including copying paid apps too I guess), there's jailbreaking.

    Wasn't this from MASH?

  9. Re:Can't light an LED on "Spin Battery" Effect Discovered · · Score: 1

    If you short them, the flux generated will just punch a hole in the fabric of space time and suck you into a black hole... You'll have nothing to worry about.

  10. Re:Boom!!! on New Electrode Lets Batteries Charge In 10 Seconds · · Score: 1

    I came here to post this. Isn't a big problem with LiIon heat=explosion? With power dissipation like that, I'd imagine massive heat...

    You're also not updating the data pointer to account for bytes written

    Semantics.

  13. Re:Back to the future on Filmmaker Working On Eye-Socket Camera · · Score: 1

    Focus would not be a matter of muscle, the eye is not connected to the nerve. Fixed focus isn't so bad (think phone cam), and (electromechanical) auto focus is easily implemented in such a confine

  14. Re:Back to the future on Filmmaker Working On Eye-Socket Camera · · Score: 2

    ...It will be great for keeping memories of the kids, sure...

    I was thinking more that it would be great to replay excellent experiences as porn for "me-time".

    Looks like. Nothing innovative to see here, move along.

    Tempting fate by going against one of the most violent; a Terminator.

  17. Do what they do with boats. on Reclaiming Oil Rigs As Oceanic Eco-Resorts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Clean and sink 'em.

  18. Cool on BeOS Successor Haiku Keeps the Faith · · Score: 1

    I used BeOS 4/5PE many years ago, got all the hideous metrowerks built tools and everything... Then a few years later (~2000) I remember seeing it used in Serial Experiments Lain and thinking "That's BeOS! I wonder how many others recognize it..."

  19. Censor it on Author's Guild Says Kindle's Text-To-Speech Software Illegal · · Score: 1

    Well, if that could be used for public performance, then they should sell ALL books with brown paper covers as if they were pornography to prevent casual and unauthorized viewing, and forbid the removal of said cover if in public. They should also require by law the use of blinders on the book in such a way that nearby people may not look over your shoulder or glance in your direction and commit serious acts of terrorism by viewing content which they do not own.

    ...Like a tube encompassing the book in one end and your head in the other (I hereby claim copyright on this invention!), or shroud yourself in a blanket armed with a flashlight. It's off to the patent office: "Method to view copyrighted materials" and off to Texas to litigate should I discover your children reading books under the covers of their sheets!

  20. Re:interesting concept but on Turning an iPod Touch Into an iPhone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, since 2G. Right now its limited for use with the Nike thingy. The chip is there, and it is in use on the BT frequency, but until its jailbroken we won't know for certain if it uses the BT stack, or can be altered to do so by patch.

  21. What? on Keanu Reeves To Star In Cowboy Bebop · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised no one has thought maybe Man-Faye would get Valentine's role!

    A laptop without the (hinged) screen?

  24. Re:This may sway me to an iPhone on Citrix To Bring Millions of Windows Apps To iPhone · · Score: 1

    There is a free RDP client which works well for me, simply called "RDP Lite". The Lite version seems stuck in 256 color mode which is fine, allows 2 saved connection. Where as the Pro paid version probably allows more colors/connections. I do prefer WinAdmin over it though.

  25. Re:Makes your devices bigger. on "See-Through" Touchscreen Solves Fat Finger Problem · · Score: 1

    Except this thing isn't even remotely transparent, its camera-based. Unless MS also developed a new substance that delays the transmission of light by half a second?
