  2. I have heard... on Gardening On Mars · · Score: 1

  3. Tacky? on Steve Jobs Publishes Some "Thoughts On Flash" · · Score: 1

    It is not "tacky". The word you wanted was "hypocritical".

  4. Is it OK to laugh? on NASA's Space Balloon Smashes Car In Australia · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I know we lost, what I assume is, millions. (Probably $150 per screw) Someone's car got smashed. We almost killed people. We probably set the program back X amount of time. X amount of time is going to cost, what I assume is, millions. But still...

    We laugh at Fail Blog so...can't we laugh at this a little? Or maybe at least chuckle?

  11. LAMO!!! on The Apple Two · · Score: 1

    That is HILARIOUS. Like Jobs built anything involved with any of those projects.

    Woz is God! Deal with it Jobs! You will ALWAYS be 2nd.

  12. What am I missing? on IBM Breaks Open Source Patent Pledge · · Score: 1

    Included in that list is two that it pledged not to assert in 2005

    What about the other 171? Any comment on them?

  13. Why Compare Anymore? on Microsoft and Apple Rumble Into Middle Age · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It is a hardware company vs. a software company.
    Maybe 20 years ago they competed but that is no longer the case.

    Nothing bias against either side but Apple's main focus is gadgets while Microsoft's main focus is software. Yes, Apple makes software and yes Microsoft makes hardware but neither are their main focuses.

  14. OH MY GOD! on Office Guardian Angel Worse Than Clippy · · Score: 1

    Office Guardian Angel Worse Than Clippy

    The thing is not even out but we already know it will suck.
    Well, I guess that makes sense seeing how the iPad is not even out but we know it will rock.

    Such a joke.

  15. Really? on Wikileaks Receiving Gestapo Treatment? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A Twitter page is now the source /. is running with?
    I suppose when you put "it appears" and "apparently" you can just pass anything off as "news".

  16. In Other News on Germany Warns Against Using Firefox · · Score: 1

    Germans Love David Hasselhoff

  17. What is hold US back? on What Is Holding Back the Paperless Office? · · Score: 1

    Just a brief story on what is holding my company (insurance) back.

    A few years back we looked into "paperless". What we found out, yes of course the IT department could do it. We would need terabytes worth of space but it could be done fairly easily. However, after having our legal department look at the same issue we found that NO we can not do it. The law was worded to state that we NEED to have a paper file on site. In some cases we needed to keep the file for 20 years.

    So, from a IT perspective NOTHING was keeping us from going paperless. However, from a red tape perspective we could not go paperless. At least that is how it is in my industry.

  18. Huh? on Health Care Reform · · Score: 1

    "It appears that today might be the end of a very long road to health care reform."

    No it doesn't. They won't even vote until Sunday. Which is not today. Even then, depending on what they actually vote on it might go back to the Senate and then back to the House.

  19. Watch This on Microsoft Spends $9 Billion On Research, Focuses On Cloud · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Watch /. tear apart Microsoft for even mentioning the word "cloud".
    When just yesterday /. was praising Ubuntu working on the "cloud".
