  1. Re:It is not so simple on Wikileaks Suspends Publishing Of Cables Due To "Financial Blockade" · · Score: 1

    There was a whole episode of The West Wing that revolved around this idea. They called it sending it out with the trash.

  2. I have a question on Australian Court Blocks Sales of Samsung Galaxy Tablet · · Score: 1

    Apple is getting all of these PRELIMINARY injunctions; which potentially hurt Samsung big-time in the long run. If Samsung ends up winning the actual court battle, does Apple have to compensate them somehow?

  3. Fender Bender because of Smart Phone App on IBM Launches Parking Meter Analytics System · · Score: 1

    Driver 1 rear-ends Driver 2 because he was using his iPhone to find a parking spot.
    Apps designed to be used behind the wheel shouldn't be made.

  4. 2013!!!! on Netflix Signs Exclusive Deal With Dreamworks · · Score: 5, Informative

    According to the article, no streaming content from this deal until 2013. Maybe I'll reactivate my account sometime around then but in all likelihood, I'll have found a much better alternative by then.

  5. I have a better guide on Mozilla Issues Do-Not-Track Guide For Advertisers · · Score: 1

    Install 2 add-ons. No Script and Ad Block Plus. No Script really opened my eyes to how much crap is tied to some web pages and also how google and facebook know every move I make.

  6. Zeus Anonymous on Lightning Strike KOs Amazon, Microsoft EuroClouds · · Score: 1

    So... Zeus accomplished what Anonymous could not.

  7. Google Maps "Measure" on Google To Discontinue Google Labs · · Score: 1

    I use "Measure" found on the android app Google Maps. It is very handy for measuring walking distances on the fly.... because I walk a lot.

  8. Last poop on the shuttle? on Last NASA Spacewalk Marks End of Era · · Score: 1

    Will there be a headline about the last time someone takes a dump in a space shuttle? We get it.... the program is over.

  9. Stranger on Sony Develops Technology To Hack Your Hand · · Score: 1

    Now we have the technology to perform a stranger without blood loss to the extremities.

  10. What about alien attacks? on Japan Criminalizes Virus Creation · · Score: 1

    Now when the aliens attack, Jeff Goldblum will be a criminal when he tries to save us from the aliens with his computer virus.

  11. Cablevision on A Piece of Internet History Lost: IO.com Sold, Services To Shut Down · · Score: 1

    I bet Cablevision bought it so they can have another place to play their IO digital cable rap song.

  12. You can't fight the Meatrix on FDA Sued To Stop Antibiotic Abuse On Factory Farms · · Score: 1

    http://www.themeatrix.com/ If anything, I got a lot of entertainment value out of this.

  13. Re:Anecdotal on iPhone and Location: Don't Panic · · Score: 1

    ...settle for nothing now
    then you'll SETTLE FOR NOTHING LATER!!!!

  14. Racism on Is Your Antivirus Made By the Chinese Government? · · Score: 0

    I see a lot of anti-Chinese stuff these days. It almost amounts to racism. People seem to hate on the Chinese because they're Chinese. Won't this mindset just further propagate any tension that already exists between our countries?

  15. watch in chronological order on All Star Trek TV Coming To Netflix · · Score: 1

    Is there a list somewhere that shows an order of episodes based on star-date chronology? There was a lot of overlapping between TNG, DS9 and VOY.

  16. Geordi LaForge on Talking To Computers? · · Score: 1

    One of my favorite things in Star Trek TNG was when Geordi would have fairly extended conversations with the computer.

  17. Big Deal on 'SMS of Death' Could Crash Many Mobile Phones · · Score: 1

    I used to be able to send an instant message over AOL that would cause the other user's CD-ROM drive to open. It was hilarious while it lasted. There were similar exploits that would boot them off the service.

  18. Thems fightin words..... on PayPal Withdraws WikiLeaks Donation Service · · Score: 1

    I must say, this is sizing up to be quite an interesting chapter in our history. The pressure put on these companies by angry or embarrassed government entities must be enormous.

  19. Re:Spot the typo on Nintendo Seeks To Trademarks "It's On Like Donkey Kong" · · Score: 1

    Seriously. Do people proofread anything?

  20. What about the gun? on Motorcyclist Wins Taping Case Against State Police · · Score: 1

    Who cares about the wiretapping. Isn't the real issue the fact that the cop pulled a gun BEFORE even identifying himself? IANAL but in my opinion, that is a big NONO. And he got caught on video. Why does this guy still collect a paycheck of tax-payer money? Skip to 3:10 and watch for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK5bMSyJCsg

  21. Re:One more time... ...with feeling... on Family To Receive $1.5M+ In Vaccine-Autism Award · · Score: 1

    Maybe it was written by someone with autism.

  22. 18 months? Get a Wii on Software (and Appropriate Input Device) For a Toddler? · · Score: 1

    Yes, a nintendo Wii with a nice jacketed Wii remote should solve your problems. Dozens of engaging games as well as educational ones. Heck, the game that comes with the system, Wii Sports, has fun even for a toddler. I never saw a happier kid than one playing Wii Boxing and beating an adult.

  23. I am soooooooooo happy... on Apple Patents Remotely Disabling Jailbroken Phones · · Score: 1

    I'm very happy I went with the Android-powered HTC EVO 4G.

  24. User Account Control on Like Google's Chrome, Mozilla To Silently Update Firefox 4 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I wonder how this will get around UAC, a substantially annoying feature of Windows Vista/7. Will they be installing firefox to the user's home directory? Will it be sand-boxed from the OS? I admit I haven't done much looking into the pre-release so I apologize for any ignorance I might be showing.

  25. A feature to disable on Like Google's Chrome, Mozilla To Silently Update Firefox 4 · · Score: 1

    While I usually install all updates for firefox, and Windows, for that matter... I keep both update mechanisms disabled. I update my PC when I choose to and more often than not, i read changelogs and release notes. This feature is probably best for the average Joe type of computer user who doesn't know or care about updates.
