  4. Re:Other CEO press releases on Hospital Confirms Steve Jobs's Liver Transplant · · Score: 1

    Jonathan Ive's is important to the company also, so with that logic, they need to disclose his medical issues. So where does it stop.

  5. Other CEO press releases on Hospital Confirms Steve Jobs's Liver Transplant · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Please point me to all the other press releases where CEO announce they have health issues! The crowd say, "But Steve Jobs is more important to Apple, than other CEOs are to their companies". I say, then why are other companies paying them 10s of millions (and sometimes multiples of that) of dollars in salary then!!

  6. Re:no video card updates at all? a $1700 latop wit on Apple's WWDC Unveils iPhone 3.0, OpenCL, Laptop Updates, and More · · Score: 1

    Is that you Giampaolo, from the MS ad?

  7. Re:Macbook pro on Apple's WWDC Unveils iPhone 3.0, OpenCL, Laptop Updates, and More · · Score: 1

    Why not have an express card slot with a pre-installed SD card reader, take out the sd card reader and you still have a power user option. eSATA, another FW800 or two ports, PCI(e) expansion chasis, etc....

  8. Let me guess on Schneier Says We Don't Need a Cybersecurity Czar · · Score: 0, Troll

    He voted for John McCain or Ron Paul. I always find it funny when people go on like that, because with that thinking we should do away with CEOs and have everyone in a company do whatever they want. LMAO

  9. CVS for all legislation on Congress Mulls API For Congressional Data · · Score: 1, Interesting

    All legislation should be written and updated in a CVS so that changes can be tracked easily, saving time & money, and also tracking who made what changes.

  13. Where's my 8GB of RAM? on Apple Announces New MacBook, Pro, Air · · Score: 1

    When is Apple going to start supporting 8GB of RAM in their laptops?

  14. HEMI with MDS on Fuel Efficiency and Slow Driving? · · Score: 1

    From what I've been told, MDS only kicks in at highway speeds (over 50 MPH if I remember correctly). Personally I think there should be an automatic and manual mode, so the driver can make a choice if they want to.

  15. Re:Could someone please.. on Revamped WebKit JavaScript Engine Doubles In Speed · · Score: 1

    You're missing the big picture. Javascript & browsers are the basis for cross platform compatible applications, that due to the newer abilities to run those application when offline will compete with MS Office. Faster the Javascript, faster the application, yummy.

  16. Sounds like the story I made up on Crooks & Li on Advanced Surveillance Tech for Unmanned Drones Credited In Iraq · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not people. bomb making materials

    Last week I posted a made up story on Crooks & Liars where I stated that the surge was just a cover for the deployment of aerial drones that could detect bomb making materials through walls. Hmmm, maybe my fiction is actually fact.

  17. Re:It's an accounting thing on An App Store For iPhone Software · · Score: 1

    Actually a firmware upgrade can fall under this also. I work for a American company that makes RAID cards and if we try to release firmware with feature enhancements we would be in violation of SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley [wikipedia.org]) because of the way we recognize revenue for the products. Thank you Enron, Tyco, etc.

    They actually have laws now that force you to consent or lose your license.

  20. DUI laws are just the second coming of prohibition on Breathalyzer Source Code Revealed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've been thinking about DUI laws in the US and how the laws are just the second coming of prohibition of liquor. Why else would they take two legal activities like drinking alcohol and driving, and make it criminal. Yes, I understand people get hurt by drivers under influence. But lets be real and compare it to teens getting into accidents, senior citizens getting into accidents, sleep deprived individuals getting into accidents, etc. Think about it... You don't see people being tested for reaction speeds when taking driver tests!! You don't see people being tested for intelligence when taking driver tests!! You don't see people being tested for decision making ability when taking driver tests!! If people had to pass these types of tests we wouldn't have so many traffics jams. Think about it, why have some states in the US that use whisky plates (plates for cars owned by individuals convicted of a DUI) run out and had to expand the letters used.

    PS People who drink and get into accidents should be prosecuted as if they had reckless intent.

    It's interesting that we'd be having this discussion here and now... I've been thinking about DUI laws in the US and how the laws are just the second coming of prohibition of liquor.

    Maybe it's time for a new revolution?
