  1. Netbook OS on MeeGo, Zero To VT320 In Seventeen Seconds · · Score: 1

    I like the whole idea of putting linux on the netbook I think it helps keep cost down. Plus some Linux distro's like Ubuntu have a netbook version that are very light weight and easy to use. The distro he is using is command line driven does not get more light weight then that.

  2. Apple Slashdot Attention on More Trouble In Apple's App Store · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have to agree Apple is getting a tone of slashdot attention. Knowing Apple's reputation they probably plan and want the publicity. But lately they been getting a lot of negative attention which is not a good thing.

  3. Internet Rules on US Pirate Movie Site DNS Seizure Fail · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The interesting thing is these admins that run these sites are more well versed in how the internet works then the people trying to take down the sites. They basically got taken down then outsmarted everyone by registering with another DNS in another country.

  25. Java Issue on Regular Domains Have More Malware Than Porn Sites · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Java in general is a security nightmare. Adobe had a huge hole in it because of the javascript that runs. Mysql has database injection holes because of the javascript that runs. This is part of the reason why adobe now has the option to turn off the javascript from running in Adobe Reader. Also why so many sites are getting away from being java based. They are trying to eliminate the security problems.
