  1. Re:$500 billion? Reality check! on The Undeclared "Cyber Cold War" With China · · Score: 0

    How would you expect their story to be captivating and awe-inspiring if they used realistic numbers? Seems a bit impracticable if you ask me. For instance, if they used the following:

    "a declassified estimate of the value of the blueprints, chemical formulas and other material stolen from U.S. corporate computers in the last year reached $11,654.17"

    ...no one would be living in fear nor would they be rushing out to buy the newest and latest protection from the Chinese hackers. How do you expect people to make a living? Talk about insensitive.

  2. Re:As much by region as by ISP on The FCC Says ISPs Aren't Hitting Advertised Speeds · · Score: 0

    Wow, I guess I need to switch to Boost. I live about 15 miles west of NYC and with the regular Optimum service I have never seen anything higher than 1.3 down, it's terrible. Like you said, the up with Optimum has never really been an issue but the download speeds are atrocious. I actually get full 4G\WiMax coverage in my house from Sprint, so I've been tethering with that and seeing much better speeds.

  7. Re:Legacy apps on Corporate IT Just Won't Let IE6 Die · · Score: 1

    While we can install other browsers, we don't have significant privileges to override the auto-proxy in place to prevent other browsers from functioning properly. IE6 is the only option.

    Need to win the war? There should be an app for that.

  9. Surprised? on Sony Can Update PS3 Firmware Without Permission · · Score: 2, Informative

    Is anyone really surprised? I don't think so. Sony saying one thing and then doing the complete opposite is nothing new.

  10. Oh no... on Digital Photocopiers Loaded With Secrets · · Score: 0

    Let's hope those copiers weren't taken from the Jersey Shore house or else they might have a Situation on their hands. His trade secrets can't and most not be duplicated in other areas of the world.

    ..and with their 65nm process they are having serious issues with voltage leaks, they need to get their act together and give Intel a run for their money. Because when the competition is fierce between the two, the consumer wins.

  24. thanks but no thanks.. on Sony Crows About Blu-ray, Upcoming PS3 DVR Functionality · · Score: 0

    Why does everyone care about a DVR, web browser, and the George Forman Grill adapter for the ps3? I know most people including myself; buy a system to play games. That's what matters to most people. I can already record TV shows and other things on the 3 DVRS in my house and I can surf the internet on one of my 4 computers. If you can afford to buy a ps3, you probably already have a DVR and/or a computer, so what's the point of have and paying for a 100 useless options which you already have and can do (and probably much better) without the ps3? Give me some good, quality exclusive games and i'll buy another ps3.

  25. Re:Price cuts on Intel Core 2 Updates, QX6850 and E6750 · · Score: 0

    The $266 price for q6600 that everyone is quoting is NOT the MSRP. The $266 price is for each chip, if you buy 1000 or more from Intel (OEM chips). The retail price for the q6600 will definitly be more than $266 as the retailers will need to make a profit.
