  1. In May huh? Why not earlier? on Google Sued Over Chromebook Name · · Score: 0

    Any chance that this post was backdated? You know, post scheduling...

  2. Re:Flock? on RockMelt: Google Chrome, Only Better · · Score: 0

    I have nothing against social networking integrated right into a browser. It's up to you whether it's a bad idea or not. If it doesn't feel right to you then you also have to know it doesn't necessarily appear wrong to everybody. It's not about being busy or lazy, it's about convenience. However if it's me, if I want to do those social networking at their respective site, I'll just get the right browser. However if I want to do it without leaving the page I'm currently on, I'll just get the right plugin, which means social networking integration in a browser is not my cup of tea. Think of it like this, people might used to hate integrated download manager in a browser and say "if I want to download I'll just open my download manager software" but today it's a welcomed feature.

  3. the 'i' does not matter on How Sun Bought Apple Computer (Almost) · · Score: 1

    we'd have Javapods & Javapads instead

  4. Re:What's still keeping me away on Desktop Linux Is Dead · · Score: 0

    Sounds like ad hominem. And this is the real problem with most Linuxfags; they're too arrogant to acknowledge things that are not problems to them but actually are problems to others. It's not surprising that desktop Linux is dead.

  5. Open source is the key? on Nokia Trades Symbian For MeeGo In N-Series Smartphones · · Score: 0
    "a demonstration of support for the open source mobile OS"

    but Symbian is also open source

  6. Re:Hollywood is partially right on Top 10 Things Hollywood Thinks Computers Can Do · · Score: 0

    computers can explode even without explosives inside it. At least Hollywood are giving the terrorists their idea

  7. Re:Prior Art! on BlackBerry Predicted a Century Ago By Nikola Tesla · · Score: 0

    well, he might have predicted about the youtube, facebook, twitter, even slashdot!

  8. Re:An observation on Moore's Law Will Die Without GPUs · · Score: 0

    so it's neither 'law' or 'observation'; it's a 'prediction'

  9. Re:Maybe, rather than privacy, it's time to forget on Facebook's Zuckerberg Says Forget Privacy · · Score: 0

    Facepalm...

  10. Re:I can't blaspheme?! on Ireland's Blasphemy Law Goes Into Effect · · Score: 0

    So I heard somebody said atheism is a religion, that's why they're call 'atheist'. Now can I embrace science and become a 'scientist'?

  11. Re:Yes we all know size is everything... on Scientists Postulate Extinct Hominid With 150 IQ · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...big eyes, child-like faces...

    which reminds me of some anime characters

  12. Kids-friendly search engine on Simplifying Search For a Younger Audience · · Score: 0

    Filtering the explicit material from search result is one thing, but can any search engine be simpler than what we already have in Google or Bing? Adult content are already filtered by default and they're already simple enough that even my 5-year old nephew can use them with no fuss. Perhaps what the people want is a schoolkid version of the existing search engines that will assist the kids in their homework right out of the box?

  13. Re:Monopoly or not. on Psystar Not Closing Up Shop · · Score: 0

    Do you know what the word "monopoly" means?

    yes, I know. It's 'anti-competitiveness' on steroids

  14. Re:Monopoly or not. on Psystar Not Closing Up Shop · · Score: 0

    Apple is not a software business, it's a hardware business (10% of their revenue is software and that includes all their high-end software packages and OS).

    Then they should choose between software business or hardware business. Choosing both means monopoly (or should I say anti-competitive in this case?). We could say the same thing to M$ too if they build specific hardware for their Windows.

  15. Re:Buzz-Word Bingo on Open Source Hardware Projects, 2009 · · Score: 0

    Why must everything be labeled "open source?"

    Which makes me think "open-source hardware" is a new term for "DIY hardware".

  16. Why didn't it the 'other' Windows? on Mythbusters Accidentally Bust Windows In Nearby Town · · Score: 0

    I wonder what Microsoft had to say about this?

  17. Re:The 10 OSes I have gladly left behind... on 10 OSes We Left Behind · · Score: 1

    MacOSX is the 10th OS I left behind. No to mention tens of Linux distros though...
