  1. Re:Dell must have some good hookers on staff... on Lawsuit Shows Dell Hid Extent of Computer Flaws · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    So, the only conclusion is that Dell has employees that suck a really good dick.

    I fail to see how 'really good dick' sucking equates to bad service. You shouldn't resort to sexism for insults.

  2. Re:Red, Yellow, Green, Blue? What? on 8pen Reinvents the Keyboard For Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    They are the colors in Google's logo (and surprisingly very similar to the logo of the Nexus One). Hmmmm....coincidence?

    It's probably easier for us to all learn Morse, and just have a deet da dee deet festival.

    I fail to see your logic. You had to memorize a QWERTY keyboard layout and you would have to memorize Morse. You have to learn/memorize something for these inputs. Take Swype [swypeinc.com], you have to have the keyboard layout memorized, on top of memorizing what gestures do what. Or even Voice inputs...you have to have a language memorized/learned to be able to speak it.

  4. Re:I'm gonna go Orwellian on yo ass on Forming New Mobile Networks With People-Borne Sensors · · Score: 1

    Its normal for a mobile phone to last a week?? Were you using the thing to call anyone? I had about 6 different models of cell phones (all Samsung) before my current smart phone...I had to charge them at least 3-4 times a week and I barely used those phones for anything more than an alarm clock. I actually miss those days, seeing as my Nexus One only lasts 9 hours.

  5. Re:Isn't Dalvik the base of that as well? on .Net On Android Is Safe, Says Microsoft · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "MonoDroid applications run with the Mono execution environment. This execution environment runs side-by-side the Dalvik Virtual Machine. Both runtime environments run on top of the Linux kernel and expose various APIs to the user code that allows developers to access the underlying system. Both Mono and Dalvik are runtimes written in the C language."

    What, you don't like the Java implementation of Youtube app as it is so you need to load a Java applet from the web?

  7. Re:To appease the most visitors with ease on Microsoft Silverlight 4 vs. Adobe Flash 10.1 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When I was developing a Silverlight 2.0 application almost two years ago, we had something similiar to this issue when (I believe) your plugin version did not match the version of Silverlight coded for. More specifically, when Silverlight 3 was available/installed it would complain to us to install Silverlight, when in reality we should have been downgrading to continue supporting our Silverlight 2.0 app.

  8. Re:Handbrake on Encoding Video For Mobile Devices? · · Score: 1

    I am not sure what the limitations of the Youtube app are, but this is my experience. Not all videos on the Youtube.com search will display on the Youtube app search. I have a Nexus One with Android 2.2 running Flash and I can see many more youtube.com videos than Youtube app videos. Also, when my phone asks me if I want to load a Youtube.com video into Browser or Youtube App, the Youtube app will tell me 'This video is not available for mobile devices.' I have seen this happen quite frequently with videos I want to watch.

  9. Re:Lack of promotion? on Nexus One a Failed Experiment In Online Sales · · Score: 1

    I saw the Nexus One promoted on Google ads all over the internet in January/February. It just wasn't promoted in television/magazines/radio like some of the other smartphones I've seen advertised lately.

  11. Re:That's ominous... on Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Arrives For Android · · Score: 1

    It's Flash and I have long disliked Adobe, but I was legitimately surprised at how well it runs.

  12. Re:But what about performance? on Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Arrives For Android · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have Flash on my Nexus One running FroYo...honestly, its not that bad. Youtube videos run very smoothly for me (much more so than the actual Youtube app, that thing is garbage IMHO). It's only when you see pages with lots of crap (ads) on them that performance becomes an issue. You can set the plug-in to On Demand, but when you select one flash object to load, I've noticed every flash objects loads and then performance suffers.

  13. Re:Something baffles me slightly on iOS 4 Releases Today · · Score: 1

    I don't really understand why you are asking this. I thought we all knew Apple likes to hold out on putting things into their first couple of models... They released the iPad with hardware comparable to currently released iPhone. Then they release the new iPhone with new hardware so people will want to buy that too. If you had gotten an iPad with that Retinal display whatever, would you really want to dig into your pocket a second time?

    Nexus One and T-Mobile's data works fine. All you have to do is tell them you need the Android data plan.
