"The mark of a shitty site like that one is that nowhere on it could I find anything resembling an accurate explanation of what it is and how it works."
I thought that was the mark of consultant (IT, marketing, etc) firms/companies. These guys often overlap with "business solutions" companies (their mark is complicated licensing bullshit and value-add segregation / versions/bundle mazes).
Why is it that my DVR from the cable company can record anything from the pipe (including HD, sports broadcasts, etc.) yet no tuner I can buy myself can?
(I know why, but it's bullshit.) (And I suppose my cable company's DVR wouldn't let me record the pay-per-view stuff.)
I agree. That's why I use AdBlockPlus and NoScript.
They block unwanted shit and keep me safe from popups, annoying flash ads, and various potential attack vectors such as cross-site scripting and clickjacking.
ABP + NS! Zap the ads, every time!
HA! You just watched (read) a commercial on the internet. Sure, they're free*, but so is 90% of the crap I see (used to see! DOWNLOAD ABP + NS TODAY!) advertised on the net.
The blank commercials are a result of your various ad blocking methods.
I believe it was peer guardian and/or a hosts file that was getting me blank ads in Hulu for a while.
Of course, sometimes the ad server is just not available. You still have to wait for the timeout though.
(Note: I haven't seen this in a long time. I killed off peer guardian because it sucks, and I killed off my hosts file because it was causing problems with youtube, so now I just have ABP and NS and I haven't seen any difference).
I am SHOCKED that anything unethical would go on in academia, especially with regards to admissions and maintaining image.
Surely this is all bullshit and academia is focused on teaching students, not patting themselves on the back and striving for U-peen and the subsequent moneys.
I expected a story about a soldier placing land mines, dropping one, and being stuck in one of those "oh shit I can't move or I'll blow up" situations.
I do remember Google and their shills saying exactly that, to the public, not developers.
I also seem to remember some sort of contest about giving out $10 million for an innovative idea.
I also remember hearing about how their servers are green.
I also remember them claiming they got some great efficiency in their server power supplies that beat the efficiency of regular UPS units.
I also remember them drumming up news about entering into deals with Yahoo, only to back down at the first hint of the possibility of an investigation.
I also remember them championing the made up cause to free radio spectrum.
Google has no qualms about spewing out bullshit to get positive press.
Android is not helping people.
Google is stalling on picking a winner for the contest because of the economic down turn.
A server with old, used, hardware isn't green - it's very ungreen in terms of efficiency. Of course, it's cheap.
Wiring a 12v battery to the output of a power supply is NOT gaining efficiency, nor does it warrant patting yourself on the back.
Google had no intention to enter into a deal to "save" Yahoo. Their only goal was to try to stir up MS interest again hoping that MS would pay more for the dead weight that is Yahoo.
And Google had no intention to really buy that spectrum after all, they claimed (and should be punished for shilling the auction).
I wonder if we'll see new versions of Opera mobile/mini/whatever they call it for shit like the PS3/DSi/etc.
The fact that the DSi can't do youtube (because of Flash's ridiculous requirements) is annoying. Please, youtube, support and please, Opera, update the DSi browser.

Because they intentionally deceived people into thinking that Android would be open and free?
"But Android IS open and free!" you say. "The END DEVICE isn't!" you protest.
Well whoopti-fucking-do how does that help ANYONE other than the fucking cell phone manufacturers and service providers? Oh, it doesn't. It just adds one more "platform" to the bloated cell phone / PDA world.
Android is nice on paper, but I'm not buying a fucking platform spec. I'm buying a cell phone. No, I don't want to spend ages writing my own phone OS only to run it in an emulator.

I don't use it, but it wouldn't bother me. The damned range of a cell's wifi is so short that people would have to be up your ass to do anything mischievous.
Either way: Support for sharing your cellular data connection over bluetooth and usb
I would just tether via USB (which is what I can do now, for free, directly from my phone's OS).

Not true.
It's MUCH more complicated than that.

I don't know.
$10 a month doesn't get you much in the way of hookers OR blow, let alone both.
I agree.

The PS3 is more than capable of running a more mainstream browser (of course, it would have to be ported to CELL, but so did the one they use).
Oh well who knows.
I had no idea what the PS3 was using for its browser. NetFront?
Why?
Which is why you use Google to find a web site not affiliated with Google.
You're just here to troll.
Video phones?
What is this, the 80s?
Drywall?
Unscrew wall plate.
Pop off any nearby staples securing the line to a stud.
Pull.
I read this as "landmine".

Similar sentiments for PS3 and HQ mode.
And it's only by accident that the valuable item ever got there in the first place.

Seems to me Windows got where it needs to be ages ago.
With that kind of success, no wonder Windows isn't GOING anywhere.
Still waiting for the year of the Linux desktop, though.
And blaming Microsoft for an Nvidia/ATi/OEM driver / hardware problem isn't scapegoating.

Will be equally funny to revisit your comment every fucking day until it happens (i.e, until the end of time).
