  1. You would think. on Beware of Using Google Or OpenDNS For iTunes · · Score: 0

    Why do they use the dns for the geo location and not the ip address itself? You would think that would make way more sense.

  2. And why? on When Rewriting an App Actually Makes Sense · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why are we pointing this out 10 years later? How is this news?

  3. Re:my vote goes to on Hulu May Begin Charging For Content Next Year · · Score: 1

    I agree there. I honestly wouldn't mind paying like others have said. As long as it is reasonable and I am not seeing commercials. But they would have to do better on their availability issues.

    Most "open wifi's" at coffee shops block local access to other machines via the wifi at the router level.

    I never stated they are required. Yet, I wouldn't be surprised if it went to court and they lost.

    Nintendo would just sue M$ saying it is their job to secure their platform from allowing their customers to run "pirated versions" of the WII software.

  8. Road Rash on EA Looking Into Reviving Classic Games? · · Score: 1

    I personally loved Road Rash and think along with Twisted Metal, that with the newer platforms available these games would kick ass.

  9. Re:Checks on Deposit Checks By iPhone · · Score: 1

    A post office exchange note is a check. It is a "Money Order" basically a certified check, but a check none the less.

    I would seriously change banks then. If your bank is confused by a simple check then they should not be a bank.

  11. Atleast for me.... on Verizon Asks Court To Affirm 'Most Reliable' Claim · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the twin cities of Minnesota it is the best network. So at least for me in a non scientific study of using friends cell phones. My verizon blackberry is on a better network. Speed/Signal/Non Roaming.

    Actually if you read some other threads you would see I work at a video store as well as other ventures. If I wanted to get a movie and "back" it up I could.

    Comcast for me is fine. Till I got to grab a torrent on the latest ubuntu release. Net drops every few minutes.

    What is sad you really only have two choices for highspeed in the metro. Comcast and qwest. You can get charter if you are in the south metro tho. I am trying to avoid Comcast but I don't need/want a home phone and qwest's unhooked dsl is over priced. Yes I live in Minnesota

    Interesting concept. I can't quote company numbers but I know for my store that yes our comps are down but only be half percents compared to the last two years. We haven't changed out business model per say. But expanded it. We offer an online service to combat net flix. Not sure how its worse? I have used both and delivery times were the same. The only better thing between the two was that Blockbuster allowed me to take the mailers back into the store to get another movie while I waited for my next to be mailed to me.

    "Picture in picture commentary" has been done before with "angles". One of the Mallrats dvds from View Askew had this.

    lol. The Hancock video in question isn't a Blue shirt production. It is a video made by Sony for the blu-ray players. Target and other merchants have the same one playing as well

    Curious why you would assume they are more likely to goto Netflix or iTunes?

  24. I work in he rental industry on Blu-ray Adoption Soft, More Still Own HD DVD · · Score: 5, Informative

    As a way to make some extra dough I work at a video rental chain (the largest here in the US) and just from what I have seen no one really wants to rent Blu-Ray. We got 90% of the new releases on Blu-Ray and yet they prefer dvd even at the same price point. Who wants to buy a blu-ray player at over $200 right now when I can keep buying dvds at a cheaper price. Blu-Ray is beautiful yes but for most pictures I don't need or want to pay an extra 10-20 dollars for it.

  25. Re:How do credit checks work? on SSN Required To Buy Palm Pre · · Score: 1

    Because like most companies that check credit for a purchase they re evaluate your credit on a time period and adjust charges to go with it. Banks, credit cards and other things like this do it all the time.
