  1. Hurd's Next Move on HP Board Sued Over Hurd Departure · · Score: 1

    If we have learned anything from former HP CEO's that leave in disgrace is that they have a rosy future ahead in California politics.

  2. Kids Today on US Students Struggle With Understanding of the 'Equal' Sign · · Score: 1

    I'm taking math courses at the local community college. Trying to study at in the libraries there is enough to make one loath humanity. Let's bring our cranky infant to the library so we can watch rap videos on YouTube! Great idea! They also text so much the cell phone might as well be implanted. Get off my lawn!

  3. Uh Oh on NASA Universe-Watching Satellite Losing Its Cool · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Global warming is wider spread then previously thought.

  4. They Should Have on Inmates Escape As Guard Plays Plants Vs. Zombies · · Score: 4, Funny

    They should have put more pea shooters on the guard towers.

  5. Re:Tax bills can't originate in the Senate on Senate Approves the ______Act Of____ · · Score: 1

    True, but the House already passed it.

  6. Bandwidth? on Servers Ahoy — Startup To Build Floating Data Centers · · Score: 1

    As cool as this sounds in a Gibsonan sense (or Stephenson if there is a guy named Raven with a nuke and glass harpoon running around) how are they getting the bandwidth? It seems like that cost would outweigh gains from conventional data centers.

  7. Do Something About It on FBI May Get Easier Access To Internet Activity · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Stuff like this is why I joined the Electronic Frontier Foundation: https://www.eff.org/

  8. RoboCop Ref on Free Software, a Matter of Life and Death · · Score: 1

    Apparently the Family Heart Center will now let you overclock the Jarvik and Yamaha models, but it voids the warranty.

  9. SP Reference on Facebook User Satisfaction Is 'Abysmal' · · Score: 1

    People are just ticked because they had to friend Kip Drordy. http://www.facebook.com/KipDrordy

  10. Cool on New Oddworld Games In Development · · Score: 1

    Pffffffft! Hee hee hee.

  11. Sad on Droid X Self-Destructs If You Try To Mod · · Score: 1

    I'm really disappointed by this. I love my work Droid and have been considering the Droid 2 for my personal set when it came out. With this kind of restriction (if it is true) I guess I'm back to looking at HTC sets.

  12. Cool on PS3 To Gain Support For 3-D Movies On Blu-Ray and YouTube · · Score: 1

    It speaks well of Sony to keep adding things to their product. I remember when I got my PS3 if PS4 would be out the next year. Yes, losing Linux was sucky.

  13. Space Flu on Hayabusa Returns Particles From Asteroid · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If you thought Swine Flu was bad, wait until we have to deal with Space Flu. It causes you to sneeze Tribbles and turn numerous shades of green.

  14. Obligatory Simpsons Quote on Paperless Tickets Flourish Despite 'Grandma Problem' · · Score: 2, Informative

    Mr. Burns: (chuckles) And to think, Smithers, you laughed when I bought TicketMaster. "Nobody's going to pay a 100% service charge." Smithers: Well, it's a policy that ensures a healthy mix of the rich and the ignorant, sir.

  15. Pffft! Gifts? on German Airports Use Bees To Monitor Air Quality · · Score: 1

    In the US they would sell that honey in the airport at a 6000% markup.

  16. Re:SC2 Mouse on The "King of All Computer Mice" Finally Ships · · Score: 1

    Huh? There is a picture of the product right there on the page. Links to five different views of it in the lower right.

  17. SC2 Mouse on The "King of All Computer Mice" Finally Ships · · Score: 1

    The site is /.ed, so for comparison see the StarCraft 2 mouse: http://www2.razerzone.com/sc2/spectre.php Fewer buttons and is glowy.

  18. He Does Good Work on Khan Academy Delivers 100,000 Lectures Daily · · Score: 1

    I remember checking out a couple of his lectures after hearing the story on NPR. They have come in handy on some topics where the examples I have aren't enough to fully explain the concept.

  19. I Hear Stem Cells Are Controversial on Stem Cells Curing Burn-Induced Blindness · · Score: 5, Funny

    “These are adult stem cells harvested from perfectly healthy adults. Whom I killed for their stem cells!” - Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth

  20. Still Not Evil on Google Remotely Nukes Apps From Android Phones · · Score: 1

    This seems more like a clean up of junk software no one needed anyway. Yawn.

  21. MS Will Not Be Amused on Intel Porting Android To x86 For Netbooks and Tablets · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Eeep!" - Microsoft

  22. Why Use Them At All on Location Services Raise Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    ZOMG! A service people sign up with to keep track of where they are keeps track of people where they are! How devious! Really, I don't see what benefit these services actually offer. Do I really need my phone telling the world about each time I get coffee? Same with tweeting. It may ease your ADHD and feed your ego for a couple of seconds, but other then that it is useless.

  23. Pfft! on Video Games Linked To Reckless Driving · · Score: 1

    Oddly, teenagers died in car accidents before video games existed. Playing Joust on an Atari 2600 didn't suddenly give me an urge to pick up a lance and ride a giant bird. There still is no credible evidence that associates aggressive real life behavior to video games.

  24. Cable Isn't Better on DTV Transition - One Year Later · · Score: 1

    I've tried Time Warner and AT&T's U-Verse in Austin. Both suck horribly. Back to the roof antenna circa 1980.

  25. About Time on Project Natal Renamed 'Kinect' · · Score: 1

    Natal sounded too babyish.
