  1. Boohoo on Steve Jobs Tries To Sneak Shurikens On a Plane · · Score: 1

    "Jobs, clearly angry at losing his throwing weapons, stated he would not be returning to the country." Is that a threat or a promise?

  2. Where's Ballmer? on Microsoft Holds iPhone Funeral Event · · Score: 1

    I'd think emBallmer would have been a pall bearer. He's strong enough -- he's already shown he's good at chair throwing. And the screaming at the end of the video sounded just like him in his sweat-soaked blue dress shirt, chanting at the top of his lungs, "Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!"

  3. What a waste on Machining a TI-89 Out of Aluminum · · Score: 1

    The case might be indestructable, but the crappy keys are still there. A V-8 moment: He could have had an HP, such as a 50g. I still like my one-of-a-kind HP-41CX, with a case injection molded in blue instead of the almost-black color, purchased from a former HP Corvallis employee. Talk about a geek magnet.

  4. Re:bOrg on OpenSolaris Governing Board Dissolves Itself · · Score: 1

    Considering that Ellison is Jewish, the Hitler thing could be poignant.

  5. Blago needs no makeup on Blagojevich Appears At Chicago Comic Con · · Score: 1

    He doesn't need any makeup to make himself look like a clown. From the beginning he has projected himself as the joker he is, a wannabe Jerry Springer. For somebody who admitted after the trial that he talks too much, he sure talks too much. It can't be too soon for his cellmate Bubba to give him the shaft.

  6. Re:Has Apple approved the product name? on Sandisk Debuts World's Smallest SSD Yet · · Score: 1

    What ever happened to "we"?

    You missed the meeting four years ago. We changed it to "Wii".

    Apparently so did you. "Wii changed it to "Wii"."

  7. Has Apple approved the product name? on Sandisk Debuts World's Smallest SSD Yet · · Score: 1

    If not, maybe Jobs & co. will sue Sandisk for using the lower case "i" as the first character of the name. What's all this self centered "i" stuff? What ever happened to "we"?

  8. No one here has suggested on What Are Google and Verizon Up To? · · Score: 1

    No one here has suggested that Google might be thinking of buying Verizon. Would such a buyout make sense?

  9. The difference between Obama and Dubya on Obama Sets End of Iraq Combat For August 31st · · Score: 1

    The difference between them is Dubya's daddy didn't know when to pull out.

  10. Fear not on Google Schedules Chrome 6, 7, and 8 For This Year · · Score: 1

    In related news, Microsoft just announced they will be pushing out new versions of Windows on a daily basis. Today you're running Windows 7, but by year's end you'll be on Windows 168. There, fixed that for you.

  11. Well, I can't... on Consumer Reports Can't Recommend iPhone 4 · · Score: 1

    I can't recommend Consumer Reports. About the only thing they might have a clue about are small appliances, like if I want to buy a toaster, but then who cares? Not sure I'd trust their vacuum cleaner ratings because CU sucks so badly.

  12. It's a good thing Steve Jobs is protecting us on Over a Third of the Internet Is Pornographic · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing Steve Jobs and his minions are looking out for us and telling us porn is bad and blocking it. But if adult content increased 17% in the first quarter, doesn't that mean Jobs is wrong? Maybe he needs to get a grip.

  13. What would his role be? on Will Steve Ballmer Speak At WWDC Keynote? · · Score: 1

    Will he be chairing the conference?

  14. Re:Watch out on Apple Surpasses Microsoft In Market Capitalization · · Score: 1

    Avoiding a product because you don't like one of the millions of people who've bought it? Who the hell modded that "insightful"?

    -jcr

    Spoken like a true fanboy. Funny, I was going to say the same thing about your post, jcr@mac.com

  15. In related news on Apple Surpasses Microsoft In Market Capitalization · · Score: 1

    Office furniture makers are enjoying a banner year selling to Redmond, especially chairs.

  16. Re:Watch out on Apple Surpasses Microsoft In Market Capitalization · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It doesn't just "look like" the OS X desktop. Limbaugh is a long-time Mac user and evangelist.

    That's reason enough to avoid the Mac. And Limbaugh just "looks like" a human being, until he opens his pie hole.

  17. Re:Anybody wanna bet || I'll take that bet! on Installing Android 2.2 "Froyo" On the Nexus One · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I do speak to my coworkers that way. Keeps them on their toes. :)

    No, it only shows your true character.

  18. Re:Anybody wanna bet || I'll take that bet! on Installing Android 2.2 "Froyo" On the Nexus One · · Score: 1

    The information wasn't online a couple days ago. GMAB. Do you speak to your coworkers that way?

  19. Re:Anybody wanna bet on Installing Android 2.2 "Froyo" On the Nexus One · · Score: 1

    Thanks, but I'm not one to reward evil. I have too much contempt for such practices.

  20. Anybody wanna bet on Installing Android 2.2 "Froyo" On the Nexus One · · Score: 1, Troll

    that Sprint will block the new HTC Evo 4G's hotspot capability, since they sell their Overdrive 3G/4G mobile hotspot (a separate box) for $99.99? Wouldn't that be dumb of them? The Evo 4G is darn tempting, but I'm waiting to see if they block the hotspot feature. If they do block it, I'll be very glad I waited and will choose another carrier who doesn't.

  21. Re:Same goes for flipping off cops on ACLU Sues To Protect Your Right To Swear · · Score: 1

    Interesting but not surprising for Erie. I grew up there. It's really gone downhill and is trying to reinvent itself as a resort town while a lot of industry has died...12th Street looks like a graveyard. Good luck with that, Dreary Erie. Gotta wonder if the cop wasn't busy stuffing himself instead of showing up for court.

  22. Re:HP Reverse Telephone Notation on HP To Buy Palm For $1.2 Billion · · Score: 1

    I know it's supposed to be more logical, but it just seems so confusing...

    Did you ever really try learning to use RPN? Didn't think so. Just about anybody who has learned it finds it intuitive and light years ahead of infix (algebraic) notation in terms of flexibility. If it were not so, would HP still be making the outrageously successful HP-12C after all these years (introduced in 1981)?

  23. And in related news... on Bing Loses More Money As Microsoft Chases Google · · Score: 1

    Microsoft president Steve Ballmer announced a name change. OSD will be known as OCD. ("I'll fucking kill Google!" (chairs flying))

  24. I'd give my on Woman Claims Wii Fit Caused Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome · · Score: 1

    I'd give my right hand for a date with her.

  25. How ironic on Office Guardian Angel Worse Than Clippy · · Score: 2, Informative

    In light of the story below, "Microsoft Claims Google Chrome Steals Your Privacy," I may not be the only one to find this funny.
