  1. So this is why longhord is due Dec 31, 2006 on Microsoft Plans Hypervisor for Longhorn · · Score: 1

    If this is the kind of stuff that is holding Longhord back I think MS needs to get a clue. Apple is handing them their but in terms of an innovative OS.

    I never thought I would be saying this...but "Yes".

  3. Re:But WAIT!!! on Apple Releases WebKit · · Score: 2, Informative

    The KHTML developers NEVER complained about this. They complained about the people that were pissy about them not merging the Apple updates fast enough. Your post here is as bad as all the new sites that failed to read the original post and have since mis-communicated the whole freaking thing. Good work.

    How is apple "hedgin into Microsoft's PC market"? Apple is switching their CPU...nothing else. Still gotta buy the Mac to run the OS X...this doesn't affect MS like you are trying to make it sound. +1 Interesting...hurm...good work mods!

    You seriously thought I was being serious? Oh my.

  9. old pit by the highway on Whose Burden is it to Recycle Computers? · · Score: 1

    I personally pay the "old pit by the highway" to take care of my old computers...one good chuck and the disposal is all paid up :)

  10. Re:No thanks on Yahoo! Releases New Search Tool · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should try it before you speak? It is pure DHTML+Javascript. It actually uses AJAX to refresh the results when you slide the bar so it doesn't even have to reload the page to regenerate your new results. Pretty slick if you ask me...definitly interesting.

  11. Re:lower clock... on AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core Chips Released · · Score: 1

    It isn't all about temp...there is power consumption to take into consideration too. Though...that is nice for that 3000+ :)

  12. lower clock... on AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core Chips Released · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that would love to see like a 1.4ghz version of this that runs crazy cool (temp of course)? I would die for that in the new iWill SFF box here. Imagine that. Four 1.4ghz Athlon64 cores in such a small space :) Perfect for me desktop!

    You don't. You think adwords is the only way Google wants to make money?

  14. Re:So... on Logitech Cordless Desktop LX500 and LX700 Showdown · · Score: 1

    This isn't just a review of the mice. It is a review of the mouse+keyboard wireless combo's. So to call it a "Wireless Desktop" is fairly accurate.

  15. Why must their software suck so badly... on Logitech Cordless Desktop LX500 and LX700 Showdown · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If IE isn't set as your default browser...why would they open it for the search and email buttons? If Firefox...Opera or whatever is your default browser their software needs to honor that. Until they can get that much right I will not purchase one of their products.

  16. Maybe Dish Network is to blame? on Tinfoil Hat House · · Score: 1

    Look at the image in the article (yeah, yeah...you gotta RTFA). They use Dish Network...maybe THEY are making them sick!

    Don't worry, we will have that review by the time this story is duped.

  19. Re:Might trigger lawsuits on Wine Now Has Big-Time Lawyers On Its Side · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah, that makes sense...

    "Hey, they didn't have any lawyers to fight us with before...but now that they have a big well educated team lets go blow some cash!"

    I knew MS always wants to find ways to blow the contents of its warchest :P

    Next time...think before posting.

  20. Re:Just to note.. on Indian Company Shows Off Sub-$200 Laptop · · Score: 3, Informative

    The cheapest "Alternative OS" desktop from Dell is $319 and that includes no monitor. Would you like to prove your claim?

  21. Re:Ok, so, no storage... on Indian Company Shows Off Sub-$200 Laptop · · Score: 5, Insightful

    While 512MB isn't gonna work for movies, it is fine for music. I have a 512MB iPod Shuffle and love it. For features like that they probably intend for you to sync it with a desktop.

    If you are someone with NO computer at all in India right now do you really think no movie/music support is the end of the world?

    "but will have built-in memory"

    More than likely it has some built in CF memory or something like that. Even if it is only 512MB...for Word docs and web browsing how much do you need? I would bet the apps are in some form of flash memory or something (similar to a PDA) so no worries there.

    Or they can simply copy it after they do the grunt work and then call it a MS innovation...
