    Must be a slow day today for me - I read the headlines as "Sony, Universal Hope To Beat Piracy With 'Instant Cop"

  2. Re:I'm sitting this one out on 'Cellphone Effect' Could Skew Polling Predictions · · Score: 1

    Your excuse is very lame. Voting is a privilege that should not be taken lightly. It is also your fiduciary duty to vote. If enough people accept their responsibility and vote, the message WILL go across to the politicians...eventually.

    Finally, 2011 must be year of Linux

    So will we see the BSOD... Wait or is it Blue Light of Death?

  10. Re:Carrier problems on Motorola Planning 2GHz Android Phone For Later This Year · · Score: 1

    AT&T does not want any phone that would outshine the iPhone as long as other carriers are not allowed to carry the iPhone. If as rumored, other carriers are allowed to carry the iPhone starting this Fall, expect AT&T to start carrying phones that will compete with or outshine the iPhone.

  11. Re:Waders are back in style on Rubber Boots Charge Your Phone · · Score: 1

    Now everyone can look like Mr.Smart with your shoe phones. I wonder if TSA would let you through screening...

  12. Re:According to the latest article in "Duh" Magazi on Why Are Indian Kids So Good At Spelling? · · Score: 1

    Hello Einstein, we are talking about spelling bee in this country, not India. Indian kids born in this country have the same accent as any other kid born here. Except when they talk they don't tend to use double negatives such as "I don't know nothing" like some of the population do.

    When I read the headlines, I thought he was building a foot-long sandwich...

    ...A brand new screensaver. Ballmer throwing chairs at you :)

  19. Re:Microsoft seeking a patent... on Windows 7 Licensing a "Disaster" For XP Shops · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, look at Apple. Snow Leopard is only a $29 upgrade for a single license and a $59 upgrade for a family license. There is only 1 Leopard version not the myriad of versions like Windoze, and Leopard kicks Windoze butt any given day. Ballmer - stop eating beans, the hot air is showing up in all your products...
