  1. Re:Sensitive information? on U.S. Government Hires Company To Hack Into Video Game Consoles · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah that's what I'm wondering. What useful information could be gleaned from a game console? Do they think that the terrorists are using Xbox Live and PSN to communicate now or what?

    It's been reported that that's exactly what's going on.

  14. Re:73mbps != 4G on Apple Unveils New iPad · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's what the standards body thought too, but the telcos started marketing 3.5G as 4G and the standards body did the worst possible thing and accepted the money.

    FTFY :)

  19. Re:FTFA on Damaged US Passport Chip Strands Travelers · · Score: 1

    As a 7-year-old I had to get a passport to leave the country. So, that first part is not true. Additionally, sometimes your connecting flight is in another terminal and you have to exit through baggage and re-enter through security. I've experienced this before in Miami and was surprised by it. As a result I had to give away a bottle of liquor I had bought in Brazil because it was not from that airport's duty-free and I didn't know I'd be going through security again.

  20. Re:Bad summary: the airline, not the government on Damaged US Passport Chip Strands Travelers · · Score: 1

    Most of my experiences with AA have been terrible as well. It's anecdotal but most people I have talked to have shared the same experiences with me regarding their terrible service at various airports both in and outside of the US.

  25. Re:And that is what really stiffles innovation on Leaked Zynga Memo Justifies Copycat Strategy · · Score: 1

    THIS. I downloaded Tiny Tower because I had fond memories of playing the superior SimTower ages ago and wanted to reclaim some of the nostalgia. I stopped playing because it was a less involved ripoff of SimTower anyway.

    All this has happened before. All this will happen again.
