  1. Re:Thinking about it on So Far, More Than 50,000 Kindle Fire Pre-Orders Per Day · · Score: 1

    I bought a galaxy tab for my self, and after a week I was battling my wife over it so I had to buy one for her as well and she loves it. I don't think the fire would be approved :)

  2. Re:If Google were out of the equation, I'd use it. on Google Wallet Launches With $10 Credit · · Score: 2

    Since it's still a visa card or mastercard I'd guess you still talk to the bank about backcharges and fraud. The only thing is that your phone is now the plastic.

  3. Grandparrents on Google+ Registers 25 Million Visitors · · Score: 4, Funny

    Do as I did, only post baby photos on g+ and lure with hangouts with the baby :)

  4. Re:Google+? on Linux Kernel 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Luckily the IT staff here are not bright enough to pick up g+, but facebook and others are blocked so I suspect it's only a matter of time. That is what you have unblocked internet on the cell phone for :)

  5. Re:Patents on HTC Infringed Apple Patents, Says ITC's Initial Determination · · Score: 1

    WTF..
    The first patent sound like regular expressions.
    If I was making these handsets (or any type of gadget) I might just discard the US market in all an leave them to the patent trolls and focus on the rest of the world.

  6. Re:Is XCode included in the download? on Apple Ships OS X 10.7 Lion 'Gold Master' For July Push · · Score: 2

    What the hell do they put into that package to make it 4 GB? Isn't XCode just an IDE and a compiler bundled together?

  7. Re:Gee Apple, how'd that lawsuit work out for ya? on Samsung Tries To Ban Import of iDevices To US · · Score: 1

    If they wanted to copy the look and feel of the iphone they would have to remove everything but the app drawer from android.

  8. Same as for regular computers on More Malware-Infected Apps Found In Android Market · · Score: 2

    You wouldn't install Schkype from Mr Hong on your PC and you should not do that on the phone either!

  9. Re:What use for a BD-ROM or BD-R drive? on iMac Gets Thunderbolt I/O, Quad-core · · Score: 1

    Sending HD quality family videos to family that they can just pop into the bdr under the tv. But macintosh never was a content production platform was it? ;)

  10. Re:Sweden on On Monday, AT&T Customers Enter Era of Broadband Caps · · Score: 1

    And here in Oslo I'm getting 60/60 mbit internet, hdtv and telephone over a fiber connection without any caps for about $100 :)

  11. Re:Moving on on Apple Updating iOS To Address Privacy Concerns · · Score: 2

    The Android location services have allways been opt in with a big warning when you turn it on. If you are even more paranoid just install a custom version of android where you have total control.

  12. Re:Go Premium on Who Killed Spotify? · · Score: 1

    Ditto. In addition I can have my wifes mobile phone on my subscription as well without extra cost.

  13. Re:jobs and woz got their start doing blueboxes on Toyota Yields To Apple Over Jailbroken Phones · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile I'm running Cyanogenmod with no restrictions on my DHD.

  14. Faculty for religion on Texas Bill Outlaws Discrimination Against Creationists In Academia · · Score: 1

    Hopefully these people will not apply for jobs in faculties that involve actual science and stick to the studies that are made to discuss this.
    Maybe Texas should just secede and be the place where all the nut jobs live.

  15. Buying spesific songs on Apple Negotiates For Unlimited iTunes Downloads · · Score: 1

    I never understood the appeal of buying one song. I'm much more comfortable with a subscription service like spotify (which i use) and wimp where you pay a sum each month and can listen to whatever song you want. I wish the movie and tv industry would go for this model as well and let you play anything as long as you subscribe on any device you want.

  16. Re:Ditch Java on Can Android Without Dalvik Avoid Oracle's Wrath? · · Score: 1

    The games are written in C using native code most often using the NDK API. Only the UI is written in java.
    Of course if you buy a low-end phone without hardware accelerated opengl you will see lower performance.

  17. Re:The list on The Companies Who Support Censoring the Internet · · Score: 1

    So this is the list of companies that never will receive my money again. Not that it would be hard, I have hardly ever bought anything from any of these in the past.

  18. Re:Here we go again. on Micro-USB Cellphone Charger Becomes EU Standard · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Considering that they can't even make a standard mini-jack for audio without crippling to only accept their authorized accessories, I would say option 1. If they can't sway enough then option 2 obviously.

  19. Re:Yes, it always could - can Android? on Skype For iPhone Now Makes Video Calls · · Score: 1

    Maybe it is different in the us, but at least here in europe I get skype for android that works with voip over 3g and wlan via android market.

  20. VOIP on Skype For iPhone Now Makes Video Calls · · Score: 0

    Can it do VOIP calls for free now like the android version?

  21. T.E.O.S on Lost Online Games From the Pre-Web Era · · Score: 1

    I'm missing The Exploration Of Space in that list :(

  22. Re:What about ACTA? on Europe Proposes International Internet Treaty · · Score: 5, Informative

    Not after EU rejected it :)

  23. Re:Does this take into account... on Gartner Predicts Android Most Popular Mobile OS By 2014 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ugh, that sounds horrible and extremely anti-competitive. AFAIK we have about 50 different mobile operators for soon to be 5 million people in Norway. And they all use GSM. If you want to switch to another operator you can use the same phone and telephone number.
    It would explain the operator locked phones you have though, thank you :)

  24. Re:Does this take into account... on Gartner Predicts Android Most Popular Mobile OS By 2014 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You still have the choice of buying an unbranded phone. Why anyone would buy a phone that is locked to one carrier is beyond me, but it might be different over the pond in the US.

  25. Re:iPad was created before iPhone on Why Google Isn't Pushing Android For Tablets · · Score: 1, Interesting

    And Mad TV reported about it in 2006 :)
