  1. Re:N900 on The Insidious Creep of Latency Hell · · Score: 1

    But at least they made a shitty computer with a shitty phone application, and not a just a shitty phone.

    FTFY

  2. Re:I noticed this on The Insidious Creep of Latency Hell · · Score: 1

    Computers isn't good at grammar anyways, they always tell me is wrong.

  3. Re:Damn on Microsoft Counts Down To XP Death · · Score: 1

    I've been prevaricating a bit longer, so if you get round to it first don't hesitate to pass them on! I should probably stop being tight and just buy and arcadeVGA...

  4. Re:More RAM? on Games: Sony Confirms PSPGo Gone; New Consoles Expected 2014 · · Score: 1

    Remember how many Neo-Geo consoles got sold?

  5. Re:Whose enemies? on Iran Says Siemens Helped US, Israel Build Stuxnet · · Score: 1

    Your signature tells me all I need to know about where your allegiances likely lie... Believe it or not some more open minded people look at Israel as being an oppressive occupying force in Gaza and the West Bank. I don't see why a tech news site has so many pro-Israel nutters on it, I wonder if it's mainly Americans? I've never met anyone in favour of their treatment of the Palestinians IRL.

  6. Re:Are these people insane? on Apple Sues Samsung Over Galaxy Phones and Tablets · · Score: 1

    Yeah, a smartphone that actually worked wasn't a big leap at all, that's why Symbian is still doing so strongly in the marketplace! Stupid Apple, will they never learn how to properly innovate, like with xbox live integration or something?

  7. Re:The sooner Flash is dead, the better on Flash On Android Fails To Impress · · Score: 1

    What is with all you people complaining that he didn't have it set to "On demand" it was a real world test, how does it work with flash TURNED ON, ALL THE TIME!! You know the way most people (not just the wiliest tech reporters) actually use it.

    People who buy a phone and want it to work without fiddling around with settings or being scared to click the green box on the screen that "breaks the internet".

  8. Re:Level playing field on Senator Wants to Tax Internet Shopping · · Score: 1

    If economists knew what they were talking about we wouldn't all be sweating trying to save $25 at every possible opportunity.

  9. Re:This is why I have given up on Adobe on Inducement To Piracy, Adobe Style · · Score: 1

    I heard someone else tried photoshop once and couldn't understand any of teh buttons either...

    I'ev used both extensively and just yesterday I walked away from an imac with PS5 to come back upstairs to my XP/GIMP machine as I now find Gimp more usable. The only difference is which you are more familiar with.

    Adobe need to crawl into a hole and die though, their whole business model and suite of products are probably one of the worst things ever to happen to computers.

  10. Re:$20k is cheap for a hammer on NYT Paywall Cost $40 Million: How? · · Score: 1

    20k? My warhammer is 40k!

  11. Re:Not exactly on Apple's Secret Weapon To Win the Tablet Wars · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should teach how to use MS paint so she realises the error of her ways?

  12. Re:The ultimate irony on Google Fights Back Against Android Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    HAHAHAHA! Carrier level innovation, that's brilliant....

  13. Re:Weak Writing on Threats vs. Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    Naturally I didn't RTFA, but it seems you have, is clicking on random internet links to PDFs a threat or a vulnerability?

  14. Re:Fake AV loaded on Mac OS systems on 14 occasion on UK PC Users Hit By Huge Fake Antivirus Attack · · Score: 1

    The attitude I usually see from Mac owners, is more "Haha, with my powerful OSX I am invulnerable to all know Viruses!". An attitude which will in time create it's own problems, I suspect.

  15. Re:Aha! There lies your problem... on Apple Moves To Stop Kids Racking Up iTunes Bills · · Score: 1

    You're an idiot. Are you comparing an iPhone to a gun or a car? What are you,a Mormon? Clearly a moron at the very least. The iPhone is a toy, maybe a fairly expensive and complex toy, largely aimed at adults, but a toy none the less.

    I really don't see the point in arguing with you any further when your viewpoint is so clearly idiotic.

  16. Re:Sounds like... on Apple Moves To Stop Kids Racking Up iTunes Bills · · Score: 2

    Kindly explain this to my 15 month old, I let her play with several apps on my iphone, but somehow, it's like she can't even read or understand the concept of money. Maybe a more authoritarian approach as you suggest would have more success in drilling in these important lessons.

  17. Re:Perfectly sustainable on Hands-on Face-off: IPad 2 V Motorola Xoom · · Score: 1

    I returned a jailbroken iPhone due to a SIM fault, I would have been really pleased if google had refused my warranty because of that. Apple sent me a brand new one.

    Totally, and 16MB should be more than enough for anyone.

    So basically you would have got one except they were too small and the software was shit?

  20. Re:it would make it too wide! on No Contactless Payment System In Next iPhone · · Score: 1

    Oddly I've heard 2 different people say that to me in the last week... It seems ridiculous to still consider web shopping insecure, one of them said "I've never done it and I've never been ripped off, so it's working".

  21. Re:Worthless? on A Letter On Behalf of the World's PC Fixers · · Score: 1

    Haha, me too, the best thing about the switch to Win7 is I can say I'm not familiar enough with it to help you out!

  22. Re:Excellent! on iPad 2 Forces Samsung To Reevaluate Galaxy Tab · · Score: 1

    They have asked - the customers want a cheaper iPad. With the bigger GBs.

  23. Re:The Geek As The Lone Gunslinger on GNOME To Lose Minimize, Maximize Buttons · · Score: 1

    I read this in a Dalek voice.

  24. Re:Do we need this? on Debian Is the Most Important Linux · · Score: 1

    Vaios are shiny, Alienware are shiny. People want a computer that works. That's why they buy macs.

  25. Re:Perhaps the answer is on FTC To Examine Microtransactions In Free-To-Play Games and Apps · · Score: 1

    Are you a complete moron? Do you have any children? Particularly in this age range they are going to make stupid mistakes, you expect parents to pay hundreds of dollars to cover those when the only consequence of them is a few ones and zeroes copied from A to B for a short period?

    You seem to be being deliberately obtuse in this matter.
