  1. Dumbing down the interface on Windows 8 Pre RTM Metro UI Leaked · · Score: 1

    Casual hardware users don't care what OS is on a device, it just has to be the "in" device of the year.

    Microsoft is slowly alienating the users who keep it alive, until it become irrelevant and so
    similar to the competition all it will have to fall back on is features and innovation, which it is no longer
    a leader in.

    I've never seen a company so eager to destroy their own user base though forced , unwanted, change.

  2. From experience on Ask Slashdot: Best Headphones, Earbuds, Earphones? · · Score: 1

    Under 60, Sennheiser px100-ii.

  3. If you don't even recognize the devices they show on Inside the PlayStation Suite SDK · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...it's probably never going to make you a penny developing for these devices.

  4. Info library for the ages stored in organisms? on Artificial DNA Replicates and 'Evolves' · · Score: 1

    Possible to store all written knowledge in a cat?

  5. Just in time for it to be defunded ! on NASA Unveils Greenest Federal Building In the Nation · · Score: 0

    Spend money one exploring? Surely the TSA needs more money to search cripples and elderly.

  6. Pass out the golden parachutes on RIM Firing (Nearly) Everybody · · Score: 1

    This plane is going into a nose dive!
    Now the question is who will buy the brand, patents and customers.

  7. I used to work for best buy on The Gradual Death of the Brick and Mortar Tech Store · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They have no concept of the competition that Amazon represents. They think in store purchases will keep them alive. They need to:
    1. Fire half the staff, and only hire professional sales people (Not 30 seventeen year olds)
    2. Reduce the store size by half or more.
    3. Reduce prices by having less selection but enjoy the bulk purchase price point.
    4. Stop high pressure pushing of accessories and service plans on people.
    5. Work with vendors to have exclusive items made for them not found online (like a white or pink dyson)
    Still doomed by their horrible reputation.

  8. Correlation to human greed on Alzheimer's Transmission Pathway Discovered · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'd love to see if there's a relation to the amount of Alzheimer's vs the amount of animal byproducts we feed to food animals.
    We already know brain wasting in the UK was tied to feeding cattle infected animal remains rendered into feed.

  9. This could be amazing for the disabled on Some Windows 8 Laptops May Come With Built-In Kinect Sensors · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I hope they make it have fine enough resolution it will work for challenged people.

  10. 100 years from now on Scientists Create World's First Atomic X-Ray Laser · · Score: 1

    This will probably be handheld.

  11. DecTalk is a warhorse on Glimpse of Stephen Hawking's Computer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why the Dectalk hate? It served the world well for many many years and will for a lot longer than most people think.

  12. A dangerous time has begun on Judge Doesn't Care About Supreme Court GPS Case · · Score: 1

    Where people in power no longer feel the letter of the law needs to be obeyed,
    people are no longer entitled to a lawyer or trial and can be held indefinitely.

  13. Origin experience, horrible bugs on Star Wars: the Old Republic Launches · · Score: 2

    After my BF3 experience, with the game launched early to compete with MW3, I would never
    buy another EA game again. Horrible cheating, crashing, clunky origin interface.
    Time to starve the beast. Don't buy the games and make ea vanish as it should have ages ago.

  14. Never going to happen. on What Microsoft Should and Shouldn't Do For the Xbox 720 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They will use some proprietary disc format for sure.

  15. Class action lawsuit please on AMD Downgrades Bulldozer Transistor Count By 800 Million · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you bought a V10 car and it turned out to have a 4 cylinder, you'd be upset. No?

  16. Needs to be labeled as spyware on Android Dev Demonstrates CarrierIQ Phone Logging Software On Video · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Clearly that's what it is, it spies to enrich the company at your expense.

  17. BROKE AS A JOKE on California Going Ahead With Bullet Train · · Score: 4, Funny

    California is a walking bankruptcy, and they are doing this? To what? Help people leave as fast as possible?

  18. If you can get a $60,000 loan for school on Ron Paul Wants To End the Federal Student Loan Program · · Score: 5, Insightful

    All of the sudden all the schools cost $60,000.

  19. Or we could stop doing bad stuff on How To Stop the Next WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    You know, all that war, killing and hiding the truth could just end. Nah.

  20. How little respect on Woz Is First In Line For iPhone 4S · · Score: 1

    can apple have for one of it's founders that they won't slide him a $300 gadget????

  21. So now I have to pay $10.. on Sony Bringing PSN Pass To All First-Party Games · · Score: 1

    .to be called a verbally abused by 13 year olds? Amazing.

  22. My costs went up substantially, and less effective on EPA Bans CFC-Based Asthma Inhalers · · Score: 5, Informative

    The new inhaler with no insurance? $60. Before? $30
    Less pressure, not as effective in getting the meds to my lungs.
    I now order them from mexico, same old good stuff that works.

  23. That way they will have more time to hack on Pledge Asks Chinese Hackers To Reject Cybertheft · · Score: 1

    American infrastructure instead.

  24. Re:Correct, you do not understand on James Gosling Report of Reno Air Crash · · Score: 4, Informative

    Part of the tail came off, and he lost control. It was headed directly for the stands, and the pilot knew he was going to die.
    His last act was to exert as much pressure on the stick as possible and avoid the stands. He succeeded and hit the boxes in front of the stands
    We're talking hundreds dead versus dozens

  25. Re:Communications failure? on Soyuz Capsule Return Marred By Mystery Communications Blackout · · Score: 1

    So true.... I remember the shuttle melting over Texas.. Silence allows the mind to race without any frame of reference.
