  1. Re:Less accurate on Project-Natal-Style Interface For Mobile Phones · · Score: 1

    I'd have thought this would be the style over function stuff apple would normally jump at.

  2. Re:Here's the review on Review of HTC Desire As Alternative To iPhone · · Score: 1

    We have sun in the UK just not scotland.

  3. Re:The reality is... on Review of HTC Desire As Alternative To iPhone · · Score: 1

    and apple would point the finger at VW as the cause of the problem.

  4. Re:Hey everyone, this is Microsoft! on IE9 Throws Down the Hardware Acceleration Gauntlet · · Score: 1

    TBH I don't see how they can reduce the processing of something they have no control over.

    With the exception of Grease-monkey scripts most browsers render what they are given as fast as possible.

    Its just a new engine MS have been clever in that since they have used DirectX which their competitors cant use with out annoying the Linux crowd who also they also support.

  5. Re:Hey everyone, this is Microsoft! on IE9 Throws Down the Hardware Acceleration Gauntlet · · Score: 1

    IE is a Windows only browser.
    Direct X is a Windows only technology.

    Sounds like a match to me.
    If Opera or Firefox which pride themselves that their browser runs on everything might have more of an issue.

  6. Re:Par for the course? on Sony Update Bricks Playstations · · Score: 1

    Freedom is the not "best" way to maximise profits.
    I can understand why they do it but they are cutting their own throats by pissing off the legitimate buyer\owner.

  7. Protectionism on Mass. Gambling Bill Would Criminalize Online Poker · · Score: 1

    This is just an expansion of the ban on gambling on the internet from a while ago.

    The people who host the site are either not in the state or the country so the revenue generated leaves the taxable area so government effectively loose money on it.

    TBH I think they should offer incentives for local businesses to start up on-line poker rather than ban the whole thing.

  8. Not so HD ? on Next iPhone — Front-Facing Camera, A4 Processor · · Score: 1

    How HD can you get on an iPhone ?

  9. Re:Sorry kids on "Install Other OS" Feature Removed From the PS3 · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if your serious or taking the piss ?

    Is this an April fool ?

    "1st of April launch"

  11. In Flux on IE Not Faring Well In the EU Ballot · · Score: 1

    This is still an on going process I would have thought that it would be too early to tell which browser is to become dominant.

    Basically this week will get the ball rolling next week people will decide to switch to another or back again and we will only get to see a true picture when things settle down again.

  12. Re:Frist ps0t on Opera Sees "Dramatic" Rise From Microsoft's Ballot · · Score: 1

    The browser choice is shown in your current default browser.

    Its worth noting that it doesnt work with most of the lesser known browsers.

  13. Re:Makes sense on Nielsen Ratings To Count Online TV Viewing · · Score: 1

    While that seems fair I'll be willing to bet its not accurate the first advert in an ad break is more likely to be viewed than the second to last.

    Fewer adverts probably means more complete views since people would be less likely to pop off for a pee while the adverts are on.

  14. Re:How about the even more useless keys? on Does Your PC Really Need a SysRq Button Anymore? · · Score: 1

    as opposed to "scroll lock" at least I know people who have used Caps and Num Lock.

  15. Re:The disc is DRM on Nintendo Wii To Get Netflix Streaming · · Score: 2, Informative

    Err OK Silverlight is on version 3 so by your arbitrary method doesn't suck.
    It has a poor take up rate but does a lot more than flash can do but is generally considered harder to work with.

    Windows Media Player stolen from Apple! Blimey something build for a different platform and even different processor architecture and running a different proprietary file format is quite a steal.

  16. Copy and paste article on Windows 7 Has Lots of "God Modes" · · Score: 1

    You copy and paste a Cnet article and post it up and expect no one to notice ?

    At least give credit next time.

  17. Re:I think they made a small mistake. on Has a Decade of .NET Delivered On Microsoft's Promises? · · Score: 2, Informative

    From the same source as the article it adds 7-8% which is down from a few years ago with a high of 10%

    Ye caany do it or the whole thing 'll blow.

    Just look at the first big bang.

  19. Xbox games on an iPhone on Apple Snags Former Xbox Exec · · Score: 1

    Most big Xbox titles are like "Gears of War", "Left 4 Dead", "Dead rising" etc.
    i'd have thought that would be "Objectionable content" on the iPhone?

  22. Re:Good idea on Windows 7 Will Be Free For a Year · · Score: 1

    People have been saying that for years since 95 (maybe before).

    If you look at the differences then you can see the evolution, Every version is criticised for being too like the last.
    Lets face if it was given a massive overhaul every 4 years then people wouldnt use since the learning curve would be too great.

  23. Re:What constitues an app? on Windows 7 Starter Edition — 3 Apps Only · · Score: 1

    I cant help but to wonder if this will bring an avalanche of app which start up in the taskbar....

  25. Manditory Beta ? on Safari Beta Takeup Tops Firefox, IE and Chrome · · Score: 1

    So I went to the apple site and tried to get a copy of a non beta browser, surprise I cant.

    How can they call it a Beta if it already replaces the last version.

    Is it on the updater yet ?
    Is it still ticked by default ?

    If ms or firefox did that they would be crucified.
