  1. Re:So you know they're there on Tearing Apart a Hard-Sell Anti-Virus Ad · · Score: 1

    actually i used avast just because of the voice playbacks.
    in the middle of the night:"virus database updated!"
    when you plug in a friend's usb drive: "[loud siren]Attention!! A virus has been detected!!"
    its cool and scifi!! unfortunately avast also made my pc slow as molasses and then msse was released.

  2. guy's himself a fraud on Tearing Apart a Hard-Sell Anti-Virus Ad · · Score: 1

    seriously, after all the ranting about mcafee being ambiguous and misleading, he himself says "oh and btw, surun[or something equally exotic sounding] is a great and powerful tool." at this point of time the best recommendation to a windows user regarding malware protection is ms se. i'm really surprised to see that se has not become the dominant antivirus. but now i know that its because of people like the author, who is either an asshole or an idiot.

    but to change the battery after a year, you have to go to apple's factory yourself and starving, tired foxconn workers would rip out your eye.

    The bionic eye would be giving back a clean signal, while the flesh eye would give back a distorted view.

    it might be a bit disappointing, but the electronic eye is NOT connected to his brain. i could get the same results by taping a small camera in front of my spectacle lens.

  6. not just uk on Why Video Calling Is a Wasted Feature In the UK · · Score: 1

    almost everyone has had front facing camera for over an year now, and like 25% networks support video calling. but still nobody uses it. we are just too comfortable with voice-only.

  7. Re:Smells of Kickbacks on MA High School Forces All Students To Buy MacBooks · · Score: 1

    Seems to me that anyone who would require only one brand of computer must have a vested interest in this deal. Come on, what can a Mac do that Windows or Linux can't?

    be shiny and expensive.

    it seems like you haven't used an hp touchsmart with win7 on it? amazing, simply utterly amazing to write notes, math equations, sketch diagrams. and its all searchable. it recognizes all that you write but it lets it stay on the screen. this is the only thing better than a notebook and a pen, but sadly it is too expensive for me :(

  9. Re:What are they going to do? on MA High School Forces All Students To Buy MacBooks · · Score: 1

    Since I started using a Mac, full time - almost four years ago - I've had 0, none, zilch down-time due to system problems. I had one hardware fault, which can happen on any platform.

    since i bought my toshiba laptop five years ago, i've had zero downtime due to system problems. also, i've never had a hardware failiure. my friends all have non-apple pcs and most of them have the same experience.
    also, my laptops config is this: core duo @ 2Ghz, 2GB ram, 80GB ram. i bought it for about 730usd. what were the specs of your pc?? and what price??
    if its anything like today's prices, you would have had half as powerful a pc at double the price if you buy from apple.

    please give an example. i hate assholes like you who say "apple is cheap now!!!1". because its not. its about 2-3 times more expensive than a comparable system from dell/hp/toshiba.

  12. Re:Microsoft's Official Response on Google Researcher Issues How-To On Attacking XP · · Score: 1

    its funny because the newest ubuntu has broken headphone sound for a lot of people (me included). and nobody worries too much. "it happens, move on man. just install the earlier version again." but if ms had released a patch that fucks up even a minuscule of obscure configs, everyone would have been outraged and angry. "m$ is such a huge gorrilla, can't they even test properly?"
