  1. Actually, most law firms... on Inside Apple's iPhone SDK Gag Order · · Score: 1

    Actually ... Many law firms are required to provide a certain number of pro-bono (free) hours... so...

  2. Wait... apple doesn't support consumers. on Inside Apple's iPhone SDK Gag Order · · Score: 2, Insightful

    apple doesn't support end user consumers either. It only supports people who conform to their idea of an end user consumer...

  3. Old news, etc. on Inside Apple's iPhone SDK Gag Order · · Score: 1

    It is the old argument that us PSP owners with custom firmware keep using - "I bought it, so I'll do whatever I damn well want with it."

    except with the SDK, you don't buy it.. they give it to you, so you don't have that leverage.

  4. A EULA bug like... on Inside Apple's iPhone SDK Gag Order · · Score: 0, Troll

    A bug ... kinda like that one that said that Safari had to be installed ONLY on apple branded computers?

    You know, the safari that apple pushed out through the itunes update to a whole bunch of PCs on purpose?

  5. No, it'll end when... on Inside Apple's iPhone SDK Gag Order · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It won't end until the piratebay.org steps in and provides a safe, secure, overseas forum to discuss apple products.

    OH wait, this isn't even piracy. It isn't even 'stealing' ... its just talking to another human being who has the same program you have... like, Idea sharing.

    I guess they really mean it when they say "Think Different". As in, don't you DARE think what he's thinking. Don't even think about thinking about it...

  6. Common Fanboy Behaviour, in general... on Inside Apple's iPhone SDK Gag Order · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Can you think of a single fanboy that doesn't defend his obsession to death? ... then again, I guess that *is* the definition of fanboy.

  7. Typical Steve Jobs... on Inside Apple's iPhone SDK Gag Order · · Score: 4, Funny

    With a mad dictator like steve jobs at the helm, what more would you expect?

    He'll demand that people conform to his world view, and demand that the people working for him force their customers to conform to his world view.

    Now, he's demanding that his workers force his customers to force THEIR customers to conform...

    *phew*... I'm so glad I don't work for / with / against / near Apple. I get winded just thinking about them!

  8. yup. on Batman Discussion · · Score: 1

    although my original comment IS.

    which is why it has been knocked down to -1... clearly it was on topic, but the mods are clueless and are punishing your Shakespearean efforts. And yet ... my posts are un-modded.

    Imagine that, you're still wrong, even after all that complaining.

    yes, wifi almost works. but have you tried using it with wpa2?

    Dude, free shiny stuff markets itself to stoned teenagers

    ... so, linux should adopt a 'first one's free' attitude?

  11. Re:If its shiny on Ubuntu Is Hyper-Active At OSCON · · Score: 1

    Not only does the OS have to be prettier than osx ... but they've got to make some sort of electronic status symbol to rival apple's ipod / macbook.

    I'd get one just to show that I WASN'T using apple (or m$)..

    oh wait, you're right... also, lets compare Juneau (alaska) to Victoria (Vancouver)... oh I guess you're not THAT right.

  13. I prefer Google for Cloud Computing... on EC2 Vs. App Engine Vs. GoGrid Vs. AppNexus · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'd choose Google App Engine. Since no one really knows what cloud computing is, and no one knows what google does, I think they make a good fit.

    oh wait. I do know what google does - It makes the internet better... and it prints money (I guess...)

  14. I blame the people who make guns easily available on Google Blogger "Hosts 2% of World's Malware" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Thats a poor argument. Take canada vs. usa - the climate is the same, most of the laws are similar... but gun control laws are drastically different, and canada has better social services.

    ... but canada also has a much MUCH lower incidence of gun-related crime.

    do we blame the lack of social services in the states for the gun crime? Or perhaps the availability of the guns?

  16. Watch for next month's esquire... on Speculation On a Second Internet Economy Collapse · · Score: 1

    E-ink on magazine covers is coming VERY soon... Esquire has decided to put a flashing e-ink sign on their september issue.

  17. What plugins have you been using? on Speculation On a Second Internet Economy Collapse · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm not sure what your idea of 'work' is, but it certainly wasn't more than 30 seconds of 'work' to install adblocker plus... and it updates itself auto-magically... and now I don't have to worry about those annoying laughing flash ads promoting 'custom smilies', and whatnot.

  18. Its all CLEAR... on Speculation On a Second Internet Economy Collapse · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, does this prove that step 3 is actually 'receive advertising funding'? It must be something important if it might precipitate the fall of web 2.0.

    For example:
    1. Make Website
    2. Host Material (User Created or otherwise)
    3. ??????? - (ADS? Really? WHO KNEW?! *sarcasm*)
    4. Profit!!

  19. Paying Zero Dollars... on Speculation On a Second Internet Economy Collapse · · Score: 1

    Actually, sometimes I want to pay for services. It creates a contractual agreement between the buyer and seller, and (in theory) guarantees that you'll receive service for payment.

    If you want for email servers, then you get what you pay for... but if you use google's free service, you can't whine and complain when it doesn't work right.

  20. Average Consumers? How about average internet... on Speculation On a Second Internet Economy Collapse · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Although the average consumer sees a lot of ads, the average consumer is also gradually switching to firefox (and the plugins, I expect).

    And gradually ads become less relevant.

    And gradually, as people realize they can eliminate ads, the trend will gradually increase.

    until.. gradually, we'll have no funding for ads, and people will actually have to 'want' an internet presence, rather than being paid to have one.

    I don't think that is such a bad idea... although, it'll bring back all the tripod/angelfire style accounts that were so popular 15 years ago, when ads didn't bring in revenue like they do today.

    Which... will make it easier to avoid (or find) pointless websites.

  21. First Comment on topic! ... oh wait... lol on World's Oldest Bible Going Online · · Score: 5, Interesting
