  1. Seems to be fixed on Linux Users Are Unable To Manage Their Apple ID on Applecom (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 2

    I just tried and it is working fine, yesterday I was getting the error.

  2. Early April Fools Joke on Microsoft To Sell Customized Edition of Samsung Galaxy S8 Android Smartphones (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    This has to be a leaked April Fools joke, it just makes no sense.

  3. Re: Find My Google on New Google Trusted Contacts Service Shares User Location In Real Time (onthewire.io) · · Score: 2

    Latitude is sort of built into G+ after they retired latitude. It is pretty much the only reason I use G+
    It looks like they are finally putting some effort into making it more usable.

  4. Ticket price going up.... on Piracy Fails To Prevent Another Box Office Record (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Looking at http://www.natoonline.org/data... ticket price increases don't seem to be that much.
    But I don't think that is including all the extras... 3D, IMAX, etc.. Looking to by 3D/IMAX Batman Vs Superman tickets are over $17 for an adult ticket which is a little bit more than $8.43 national average for last year....

    I think this does help them get the record breaking numbers even with though viewer turnout increasing as much.

  5. Re:Really? on Square Debuts New Email Payment System · · Score: 2

    nope, no fees on either side

  6. Re:Really? on Square Debuts New Email Payment System · · Score: 5, Interesting

    We tried it. My co-worker sent me $15. After the initial email, we both tied our debit cards to our email addresses, and I had the funds in my account in less than 5 minutes. Since our cards are now linked I imagine it will be even quicker in the future.

  7. DVDs cost more on Toshiba, NEC Plan To Create Yet Another Optical Format · · Score: 1

    In 2001, $10.3 billion was spent on movies, 52% of this on DVD's, now compare this to 2002, $12.4 billion total revenue with 65%, going for DVD's)

    Sure more money is being spent on DVDs but they are also a lot more expensive! VHS prices seem to be between $1 - $15, while the price for DVDs tends to be about $9 - $25. It makes sense that more money is being spent on them. Though I wonder what the statistics look like if you compare quantities.

  8. Re:Seattle meat-up on Slashdot Readers Visit Meatspace · · Score: 1

    I showed up with my wife, we ended up parking across the street, it was $3 for evenings, and it was closer than walking around the block.

    We left with about 6 others around 8:30pm to go look for food, ended up walking a few blocks away to Huricane. Was decent, and I am glad to have met some good people :)

  9. Re:I wouldn't mind a tablet PC, but... on Getting Touchy-Feely With Tablet PCs · · Score: 1

    back around 1994 I bought a Compaq Concerto which was like this. It had 16 shade grey touch screen monitor, the guts were behind it, the keyboard was detachable, and had a long cord, you could have the monitor sitting on tv tray or something and have the keyboard in your lap. The pen mouse that came with it worked pretty well too, I loved it. Too bad it is only a 486, I upgraded the ram to 16Megs, and it has a 240Meg harddrive.

    The whole thing was about $1500 at the time, cheaper than most equivalent laptops. I can't believe compaq discontinued them, they were way ahead of their time.

  10. Re:Civ on Sierra Studios asking about Linux · · Score: 1

    I was at Fry's on Friday and they still don't have it, they said to check back in a few weeks. They sales people seem to know that linux games will be coming in, which I think is a good sign.
