  1. Re:No surprise - it's Apple's modus operandi on Want iCloud With Windows? Ditch the XP · · Score: 1

    um.. you know an OS upgrade to newest version is $29? And the price of the next version of OS X due out in a few months? It is $29.99.

  2. Re:360 Fail on Will Microsoft Release Its Own Windows 8 Tablet? · · Score: 1

    I do not believe any of the original series xbox360s still work today. Of the 6 people I know that had one, none worked longer then 10 months. However, MS replaced every single one at lest twice for each of those 6 people.

  3. Re:360 Fail on Will Microsoft Release Its Own Windows 8 Tablet? · · Score: 1

    stuff happens. thinks break. With the 360 it happens a lot. MS sent you a new one if your broke. I'd rather have a product I know is going to fail, and know the company is going to replace it, then have a product that probably wont, but have no hope or expectation of replacing it if it does.

  4. Re:Um.. No on How Apple's iOS Went From Insecure To Most Secure · · Score: 1

    iOS is not a blackbox in regards to whats in it. With a jailbreak you can get a secure shell on it and see whatever you want to see. Hell, the majority of the OS is actually open source. It is a blackbox in that you can not access any of the underlying parts in any officially supported way.

    Your figuring is also disingenuous. The school doesn't only pay for the building the hours students are there. Power, water, insurance, cleaning, wear, depreciation do not stop when the kids are not there.

  9. Re:Not an app store on Amazon Challenges Apple With Mac App Store · · Score: 1

    It is a store? really? I have some applications I'd like to sell them. I bet they will turn around and make a killing of them! Wait, whats that? They don't actually buy any apps? How do they stock their store? Oh, you mean they just broker a deal for the dev? Like a Realtor? That would distinctly mean they ARE NOT a store then huh?

  10. report them. on Anti-Porn Facebook Page is Deleted, Then Restored · · Score: 1

    That anti-porn site is clearly preaching anti-women hate speech. I've reported them as such.

    seriously... everything on that list is something retarded that was only ever there because we didn't have easily producible better ways of doing things.

  12. Re:Does the principle apply to Linux? on Mac Malware Evolves - No Install Password Required · · Score: 1

    A direct example would be more like a website can tell if your on debian/ubuntu or RHEL/fedora and sends you an .deb or .rpm. Then your browser see it is a package so it fires up your package manager for you.

  13. limited on Apple's iOS 4 Hardware Encryption Cracked · · Score: 1

    Article is misleading... "This includes historical information such as geolocation data" unless they are talking about your photos, there really isn't any geo data. "browsing history, call history, text messages" are not encrypted on iOS4. "emails, usernames, and passwords." These actually are all encrypted. So this tool lets you brute force a passcode so you can get the e-mails stored on the phone. Usernames are there, but what they are for is hashed in way you can't really map it back to what it's for. The passwords are hashed using an method which I don't know of anyone having broken yet.

  14. Re:I can kind of understand on Doctors To Patients: First, Do No Yelp Harm · · Score: 2

    A large part of a happy customer is setting expectations in the beginning, and continuing along and updating those expectations as the operation continues. You are the pool expert, not me. That is why I called you. If I call you in March and ask if you build me a pool in 3 months, and you say "yes, of course!" I damn well expect it ready for the 4th of July. If that is an unreasonable time-frame I'll understand if you tell me that before we start. I'm angry when the pool party I scheduled 3 months in advance doesn't happen because you, as the expert, failed set a realistic expectation.

  15. Re:How can they? on Samsung Ordered To Hand Over Unreleased Designs To Apple · · Score: 1

    Maybe this is not the case since with Apple "unreleased" means non-apple people can not get them yet. Where as Samsung it means... well pretty much all of those 5 devices are already on the market. The Tab 8.9 is not, but it is just a slightly resized version of the Tab 10.1

    Ya, you praise Apple! another converted... (Around the time they dropped DRM you could download stuff that deDRMed your whole music library in about 5 minutes, unofficially of course. As part of the DRM dropping announcement they also introduced the option to "upgrade" some or all your DRMed music to the higher bit rate non-DRMed music for the free, or the some of the price difference, or at worst case, the price difference between what was originally paid and the current pricing.) In fact, someone that bought $20 of stuff years ago can go on itunes TODAY and upgrade it all to DRM free for the price difference between what they paid and the current rate.

  20. 1-stars on Amazon Gags On Gaga · · Score: 1

    While I feel usually this is fine as customer are rating the entire purchase, not just the product, in this case, I think, Amazon should remove the post that rate the album based on the delivery service. Maybe send the users whom posted an e-mail explaining why, and asking them to try again, then re post their review.

  21. Re:Collateral success vs indication of support nee on Corporate Mac Sales Surge 66% · · Score: 3, Interesting

    At another job I supported Apple Xserve and RAID. We had a "spare parts kit." It had one of every part in n xserve, "the RAID had it's own similar kit." When anything failed I swapped out the part myself with the spare parts kit, then Apple overtightened a replacement part with a pre-paid shipping for sending the failed part.

  24. 25 minutes on Computer Records Hold Key In IMF Head's Sexual Assault Case · · Score: 2

    According to what information we've been given as fact, the maid entered the room shortly after 12:00 noon, and he checked out at 12:28. In that time, according to the maid he chased her, forced her to give him oral, anally raped her, tried to vaginally rape her. Anyone that's anal sex knows it's save to assume he must have washed up at lest a little. We know he put on his suit before checking out. I'm not saying I have opinion either way, but that is a lot to do in 25 minutes.
