    Palm, get your act together. Apple is "good enough," and the only way you can differentiate yourselves is by being substantially better. Treat developers like gold and get your story 100% consistent, unlike Apple, if you want to succeed.

  4. Re:Why it's more dangerous. on Cosmic Ray Intensity Reaches Highest Levels In 50 years · · Score: 1

    The car analogy should more properly compare the increase in non-relativistic Kinetic Energy. KE=0.5 m v^2, so it should be an increase of sqrt(10^17), which is about 3 x 10^8 (also amusingly the speed of light in S.I. units).

    like the difference between being hit by a car going 1mph and one going 300'000'000mph?

    Actually it's more like the difference between being hit by a car at 1km/h and one going at the speed of light. Which, would not be so different from the cosmic rays.

    From which we can conclude that cosmic rays are just the third stage of cars that kept accelerating after becoming solar wind.

    This is not a risk we would recommend our friends and families take.

    He should have used "mortal danger" instead of simply "risk". Also, change "would recommend" for "let". And add some exclamations, for god's sake, this is serious.

    Thus, the closing sentence should be:
    "This is not a mortal danger we let our children take!"

    However, once you've decided to push factless crap with fear mongering, at least do it with style.

    I recommend:
    "If you allow your children to install the google demon, your entire family will suffer an eternity of pain, in HELL!"

  19. Re:Goo splat? on Ad Viewing Required For Free Zune HD Games · · Score: 1

    Goo Splat? Maybe I spend too much time on the wrong kind of websites, but I don't even want to know what that game is about!

    Nothing too fancy. It's a single player puzzle game.

    Something like a single player chess where the pieces' movement (or "skills") aren't fixed but depend on their shape (gooey) on that turn. The shape depends on the size and color (indicates density) of other pieces or blocks that the piece has eaten before.

    There's a 3D version for the PC where the board inclination can be changed each turn, influencing the pieces' shape.

    As you may have guess by this point, I just made up all that crap and I've never heard of such game.
