  1. Stability? on Firefox Tab Candy Alpha · · Score: 2, Insightful

    While I like the idea and can easily imagine the fun/productivity of this on a touch based machine, what happens when a single tab goes haywire and crashes everything? I wish the Firefox devs would take the idea from Chrome and implement individual tab processes. With multi-core machines ever on the rise I can't see why not.

  2. Content delivery? on YouTube Adds 'Leanback,' Support For 4K Video · · Score: 1

    If Youtube has trouble delivering something so small as 240p when I look up an old movie, how can they roll out 3072p ? I'd like for them to fix their content delivery system first...

  3. Fastest conventional train on China Debuts the World's Fastest Train · · Score: 1

    What about the Chinese maglev train that cruises at some 430 km/h ?

  4. Re:What happens to the external tank? on STS-129 Ascent Video Highlights · · Score: 1

    They're not too keen on showing it, seeing as it always lands in the same village in Zimbabwe, and they're starting to get annoyed.

  5. Re:I don't blame them on Apple Voiding Smokers' Warranties? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If walking through a cloud of 2nd hand smoke isn't a hazard, why does it make me cough ? Is it a sign that I'm fit ? On the topic. I won't exactly blame Apple for this, in my personal experience a laptop coming from a smokers home is generally more dirty, particularly in the fan, where huge lumps of congested hair and dust will generally be thicker on a smokers machine nearly eliminating airflow.

  6. Re:Goo on Google Under Fire For Calling Their Language "Go" · · Score: 1

    Oh yes, this will be the beginning of the end. Google Goo. Come next generation of kids it'll have shortened to Googoo and with the different language offsprings there will also be Gaagaa. Google, holding your hand like the baby you are.

  7. Flesh is a design flaw on Enzyme Found To Help Formation of New Axons · · Score: 1

    Albeit this kind of goes against the Axon's motto...

  8. Re:Strap your Buick to the backyard windmill.... on Electric Car Nano-Batteries Aim For 500-Mile Range · · Score: 1

    Easy, when everyone goes electric, all the excess fuel can just be used to run generators to aid the grid...

  9. 3 types of people. on DNA Suggests Three Basic Human Groups · · Score: 3, Funny

    People who do things, people who don't do a thing, and people who wait for things to be done by others.

  10. Moral of the story... on Teen Diagnoses Her Own Disease In Science Class · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't send a professional to do a teen girls job ?

  11. Unpossible on New Google Favicon Deja Vu All Over Again? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Everyone knows that it's spelled Micro$oft.

  12. Re:Maybe it's me on Dead Space Wants To Scare You · · Score: 1

    Now if we could just get the local retailers to distribute that version too. Though I suspect it would quickly cut the store in half with two sections, "Anal Rape" and "Creamy Goodness", the latter being the one that "sells".
