  3. Moving on on Apple Updating iOS To Address Privacy Concerns · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sounds like Apple is taking steps to improve their system and give the paranoid users a easy opt out. Now the question is what are the other phone manufactures doing with their location systems? Especially those who log your data to the cloud?

  6. Rehaib hospital push on Should the Gov't Pay For Injured Man's Wii? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Broke my hip on the ice this winter. When I was in rehab they got me up and forced me to play a stupid bowling game on the wii. I hate video games! They seem to think anything that motivates you to get up and be more active is a good thing. ( Oklahoma, USA)

  9. Re:I like Ian Clarke's idea on Lessig on Streamcast/Grokster Decision · · Score: 2, Insightful

    An Ashcroft quote is funny until you realize; that Ashcroft is a part of the Bush team; that is raping the American Constitution. The head of a legal team that looks the other way while big business robs the public.

    When will more hardware venders start waking up to the idea, that working with standard and open protocols will be the most profitable in the long term. Why pay someone like Microsoft millions when you can own your own or share instruction set for far less?

  14. Buying Customers on MSN Buys 500,000 Qwest.Net Customers · · Score: 4

    Hey I guess if your service is not good enough to attract customers; buying customers is an option??

    Somehow that does not sound right, how much did they pay and how long will X number of customers have to stay to pay back the investment?

  17. Re:Stuff to buy on EU Web Tax Proposed · · Score: 1

    The local VW dealer has/had 4 of each color setting on his lot a few weeks ago (yes they were the special edition) with used car stickers on them. I was going to call and ask about the yellow but then thought; bet they bought them on the shady side and jacked the price; so I never called back.

  19. What about a coffee warmer on Everything Is Cooler With A Peltier · · Score: 2

    A much better use of over clocking tech-no-olagy would be to crank an old 486 up from 33 to ooh about 256 and use it to keep my coffee warm.

  20. Re:Bad for the school on Four Arrested For Internet 'Theft' At OSU · · Score: 3


    Your right this makes the school look bad, it could have been handled differently. Some low level BOFH want-a-be did the only thing he could think of and called the police. The student will get about the same punishment as they would have had this been handeled by the school in house as with the police.



    Now because of a slow thinking burreauract OSU has a black mark that may make some potental new student choose another school. It will blow over and be forgotten by everyone but the britest who consider the Network "The tool".

  21. Accounting Software on MSFT thanks Linux Programmer for paying $35 Fee · · Score: 1

    You would think with all thier money Microsoft would buy a good accounting program to track their account payables. Perhaps they might even try to write some software to track bills.....
