  1. What a coincidence! on NBC to Offer Free Video Download Service · · Score: 4, Funny

    breaking up with Apple over iTunes pricing schemes Wow, that's the exact same reason I broke up with my girlfriend!
  2. The one day... on Aerosol Spray to Identify Bombing Suspects · · Score: 1

    The one day someone has bomb residue on their hands is the one day Benny, the security guard, accidentally grabs the aerosol can full of Pledge...

  3. Suspense! on AT&T to Help MPAA Filter the Internet? · · Score: 1

    'AT&T has agreed to start filtering content at some mysterious point in the future.' This clearly means it's our turn to start filling in the holes. We have to uncover when they plan to do it, or retire from being investigators forever...
  4. Close combat on The Wiimote As Yoda Intended - A Lightsaber · · Score: 1

    People dueling each other using the Wii remote better be prepared to stand pretty close to each other. The Wii remote range isn't that far horizontally.

    The duel area wouldn't include the whole room you're playing in, which would be a really nice feature for a fun duel. In these duels, I can already visualize standing in front of the TV with a limited area in which to duel. I guess the fact it feels like you're swinging a lightsaber makes up for that but still...

  5. Is this supposed to be a step up? on Facebook Quietly Offers Storage to Developers · · Score: 1

    Is this supposed to be better than those crappy $1 gifts they offer to users?

  6. And sarcasm... on The Smiley Face Turns 25 :-) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    is still just as impossible to convey over the internet.

  7. Drug Dealers on Cybercrime Now Worth $105 Billion, Bypasses Drug Trade · · Score: 3, Funny

    The drug dealers just need to move their whole business online, then they'll be on top again!

    Imagine IRC channels dedicated to the drug trade! /me is ready to meet in the alley behind the liquor store

  8. On iTunes and TV Show/Movie Content... on TV Torrents — When Piracy Is Easier Than Purchase · · Score: 1

    I've found as an iPod user that most general TV Show and Movie content available for purchase within the iTunes store have horrible quality. I mean just plain crappy, not worth whatever they charge per episode or per movie. This can especially become apparent with some older shows. So, why make us pay for crap when we can find it outselves in a more desirable format and quality?

  9. Still more shows... on World Series of Video Games Cancelled · · Score: 1

    There are still more shows out there that pit people against each other in popular games, so this isn't a huge loss.

    Also, you can always just watch that old 80s movie, "The Wizard".

  10. Mhmm! on Microsoft and Novell Open Interoperability Lab · · Score: 2, Funny

    Additional work will include standards-based systems management, identity federation and compatibility of office document formats. Compatibility: Microsoft's #1 goal!
  11. Hmm... on Academics Speak On 'Life After World Of Warcraft' · · Score: 1

    Maybe envisioning a "Life after WoW" is hard because their game studies department is now based exclusively in WoW itself...

  12. Domino's Wiretap on Eavesdropping Helpful Against Terrorist Plot [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    They will only find out what potential terrorists want on their pizza tapping public airwaves.

    SECRET: If they get EXTRA anchovies they are terrorists. The pepperoni-pineapple-extra cheese orders means there will be a terrorist meeting (stay away Government!).

  13. Windows Undead on Microsoft's Consent-or-Die Patent · · Score: 1

    Windows Live never worked for me anyway. The times where I thought it might be useful it faltered.

    As for "Never Notify Me" window, I would like that for all programs/serivices.

  14. IE isn't down and out yet on Firefox Hits 400 Million Downloads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Despite Firefox gaining some popularity (and Safari showing up in random places, like your Grandmother's house) IE still has a sweaty, firm grip on the market.

    Mozilla Firefox has a journey ahead of them before the numbers start to show in their favor.

  15. Coming in 2012 on French Threat To ID Secret US Satellites · · Score: 1

    Coming in 2012: secret space stations!

    Maybe the French are just mad they don't have their own network of secret satellites...I for one have my own society of squirels that have tiny cameras strapped to their backs.

  16. Re: Backups? on RIAA Trying To Avoid a Jury Trial · · Score: 1

    There needs to be an original copy coughed-up or a receipt of purchase (see: iTunes) if ever asked for any proof. You can have a copy as long as the original isn't too far behind.

  17. That looks about right on Method of Reading Discovered · · Score: 1

    I don't ever remember starting to idenitify whole words one letter at a time anyway...

  18. The way I see it... on Google Sued Over Deceptive Search Results · · Score: 1

    This lawsuit is a ploy to get more web traffic to their sites. DON'T GIVE IN!

    They probably want to get a higher spot on the search results for "Google lawsuit" too. They are slowly but surely moving up!

  19. zune phone on Turned Off iPhone Gets $4800 Bill from AT&T · · Score: 1

    I bet the Zune phone (or "Zone" as I would imagine it'd be called) won't do this.

  20. Well, sorry Charlie... on Implanted RFID Chips Linked To Cancer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    but, we implanted one of these RFID chips while you were passed out last night. Tough luck, dude! But, seriously, couldn't there be a percentage of people that don't remember or don't even know they have these chips? That would be a scary thought...
