    It had the link from day one. You just had to be logged in.

  3. ROFLMAO! on Google Introduces, Then Scraps, Bing-Style Background Images · · Score: 1

    I guess the fact that 'remove Google background' was the seventh most searched for phrase today might have had something to do with it."

    So people were searching for 'remove Google background'' from the very page that had the 'remove Google background'' link on it? There goes a little more of my faith in humanity.

  4. Re:YOu got them on a 2D television... on Sony To Launch First 3D PS3 Games On Friday · · Score: 1

    In other word Sony climb up on the 3D TV bandwagon.

    Weren't they the first ones to sell 3D TVs?

    I'm sure there will be, considering Youtube supports stereoscopic video.

  6. And?? on HP Gives Printers Email Addresses · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have a 10 year old Xerox printer that has an email address. This isn't new by a long shot.

    Hopefully they put a manned capsule on these things so there will actually be people in the ISS to service.

    They'd probably just run away from you unless you cornered them.

  10. There's just one problem... on Yahoo Treading Carefully Before Exposing More Private Data · · Score: 1

    There is just one problem with this plan. It still ends with Yahoo exposing more private data.

  11. Re:Android... on Apple Blindsides More AppStore Developers · · Score: 1

    Joe Sixpack handles .exe files just fine, why would .apk files be a problem?

    could be used to fool the user into entering passwords by looking like the real desktop

    Simple solution: Don't approve apps that do that.

  13. Re:Android... on Apple Blindsides More AppStore Developers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't think Android even needs a market app. I don't have a market app for my PC, and I don't have any trouble finding and installing software. And the lack of such an app doesn't seem to be dissuading anyone from developing desktop apps.

    Didn't Doctor Who just do an episode on that?

  15. Re:Obvious question on Django 1.1 Testing and Debugging · · Score: 1

    Anyone who actually works with software knows that the idea of "reusable components" is a load of bullshit

    Most of my Django projects use reusable components. It's one of the reasons I use Django.

  16. Re:ignore them and show it anyway on Decency Group Says "$#*!" Is Indecent · · Score: 1

    Yes, because if there's one thing that will make people like this go away, it's giving them attention. How the hell did you get modded insightful?

  17. Re:Scared iPhone developer on Fragmentation vs. Obsolescence In the Android Ecosphere · · Score: 1

    The majority of android devices have multi-touch and multiple buttons, accelerometers, magnetometers, and GPS.

  18. Re:Scared iPhone developer on Fragmentation vs. Obsolescence In the Android Ecosphere · · Score: 1

    That's why you aim for a feature set the majority of devices support.

  19. Re:Scared iPhone developer on Fragmentation vs. Obsolescence In the Android Ecosphere · · Score: 1

    As an iPhone developer who would love to make the jump to include android I am very scared about the large mishmash of versions and hardware.

    If that scares you, PCs must be your worst nightmare. Android is a monoculture by comparison.

  20. Re:And why? on When Rewriting an App Actually Makes Sense · · Score: 1

    but this was just a cheap jab at Microsoft based on prejudice.

    Prejudice is judgment without facts. I'd say this was more of a cheap jab based on decades of experience.
