  1. Not supprised on Mentioning Android Is a No-No In iPhone App Store · · Score: 0

    I'm not surprised by this. Apple is well known for censorship/DRM.

  2. No supprise here on Microsoft Working On Its Own App Store · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Microsoft has copied Apple's ideas ever sence the apple II in 1978. Or GUI's. Or the mouse. Or the Ipod.... Not news, just move along people.

  3. Beware! on Mysteries Swirl Around Cyclones At Saturn's Poles · · Score: -1

    The Robots are preparing to attack!

  4. Am I the only one? on Future Sony MMOs Will Be On Consoles · · Score: -1, Redundant

    OR do I find the MMO genra over-ratted. I find that there are other genras(strategy games) that are much more entertaining and can be time-consuming. It also happens that most 13 yr olds who are playing the games then go to game development proffesionals and say "OMGZ i r g01ng to mak3 th3 n3xt aws0m3 MM0 gam3!!!!111!!!!111!" and basicly the response to them is "teh noob, teh silly, silly noob"(I'm not saying I support this view, I support the view that it's realy hard to create a MMO and thus unsuitable to beginers and that you likely wont be succsesful in creating one because of operating costs)

  5. This could be usefull on Google, Circa 2001 · · Score: 0

    When you think of politics in general, you could search for what the person has done and see it before they started posting propoganda.

  6. Thay said this about nuclear energy too on The Power Grid Can't Handle Wind Farms · · Score: 0

    So, I doubt that the article is true. I have a feeling the Times got paid by a political party to say so. Desprete times call for desprete mesures.

  7. Magnetic capsule? on Digital Storage To Survive a 25-Year Dirt Nap? · · Score: 0

    How about making the caplsule magnetic and then storing the photo on that? or you vould take a flash-drive/hard-drive and bury that.

  8. Well, there's also trust... on The Mainframe World Is Alive, Even For Those Under 40 · · Score: 0

    The government(USoA) probaly trusts IBM more than any other company because they've had their census being calculated on their mainframes for the past about 110 years and They are good for fast tasks economicly(cheper than server, yet faster than a PC or Laptop).

  9. You forgot... on Do Subatomic Particles Have Free Will? · · Score: 0

    Asimov also is strongly supporting this idea(Foundation series).

  10. I'm supprised on Last HOPE Tracking Meta-Data Released · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I'm supprised using RFID chips worked. I'd suspect the government would catch any hackers that had one by tracking them. Beginning of a hacker-free world? I doubt it but it's certainly a tantilizing possibility.

  11. Sombody ain't happy on Asus Release a Wiimote-Alike · · Score: 0

    Obviously nintendo is pretty mad at them for doing this. Nintendo no longer has a monopoly on the Wii remote...

  12. Wait on NASA Shakes, Bakes, and Rattles Lunar Spaceship · · Score: 0

    Wait a second, NASA has been saying that the LRO will strike in october of this year. And now it's in march? I think their being fickle.

    So, NOAA's claiming ownership over the entire earth now. Other Countries aren't going to be happy about this....

  15. Bound to happen on Fallout From the Fall of CAPTCHAs · · Score: 0

    When you have something online that is as popular as this, Someone is bound to crack it some time or another.

  16. Makes sense on In Iran, Blogging May Be Punishable By Death · · Score: 0

    This makes sense when you concider the iranian government. You're trying to force a single religion on everybody and in order to do that you have to make the citizens blind to the other religion.

  17. Finaly on ZFS Confirmed In Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard · · Score: 1, Interesting

    We can finaly fill up more than 8 TB on this FS. Anyone up to try?(with what?)

  25. Welcome on What Examples of Security Theater Have You Encountered? · · Score: 1

    Welcome to the world of 'security'. A place where there are hidden meanings behind everyone of their smiles. When you think about it, what makes security software so adventageous? Viruses and other malware. In order to have those wou can not have security. And hense in order to make their buisness prosper they have to have a hidden agenda.
