Most people have the wrong idea about contrast ratio. It doesn't neccesarily mean the display is extra bright. It most likely means the black is really friggen black. It is the ratio of the brightness of the white pixel to the brightness of the black pixel. Ever notice how black isn't really black on an LCD display, it's kind of lit up? That's a low contrast ratio for you. Read more at wikipedia.
A Warner Music executive has threatened to cut off Apple if Steve Jobs continues to refuse to give ground on iTunes Music Store pricing.
Okay, what did he actually say and in what context? This reeks of sensationalist journalism. Of course, I'm sure I'll be modded down for not going along and saying "WTF EVIL RIAA!!" along with the rest.
The "firing back" seems like exactly what was said a while ago, yet this is supposedly a new article. Was something new really said by any of the recording industry, or is this just more regurgitation? Anyone have a real article? I really don't give a crap what "analysts" think.
As a game developer, I'll say it'll come sooner than you think. Engines such as Unity will support Aegia's PPU when it comes out as it already uses the Novodex engine. From there it would take about 15 minutes to set up, tops. Expect some awesome things to come from little Indie developers.
True, but most/. summaries don't explain what they are talking about. Take the previous story about FreeBSD for an example. Then it just comes down to a point of view about what the vast majority of readers already know about. So, that's just like, your opinion, man.
I need every bit of money of mine that isn't well spent.:) If you have some extra cash for a poor college student with your fancy 5 digit uid, send it this way. At least I didn't pirate it.

I set up a 386 to mirror the 22 gigs of data with my 56k modem connection right here. Not too many at once, please

Like regular HD... but the H stands for half I suppose. QVGA format, a measily 324x2480
At last the technology of electric toothbrushes from the '80s today in our handheld devices!

No, I didn't think so. Does anyone even use Windows around here? Right, so why post links to .exe movies?
i never heard of them either: allmusic bio

I guess the Lord of the Rings movies are an exception?
We were kinda hoping you'd help us out...

...is that they keep referring to their artists' music as "content" or "product". It just sums up their whole attitude.
I've been writing C# for about 6 months now and have not touched Microsoft software. What you say? That's right, I've been using Mono.
So, 14 hours of music playback time... wonderful! Now how do I replace the battery when it gets old? I'm sick of this behavior from iPod products.
As a game dev, it's great for the industry! Most of the game devs I know are off playing WoW instead of making a game to compete with mine!
Anyone else having the sudden urge to get their fiancée one of these bad boys so they can scratch the hell out of lesser gemstones?
It makes me feel like Willy Wonka, except making games not candy.

The 360 scroll would be useful for 3D applications, and the Logitech mouse is right-handed.
Why not cleverly stick your own pattern of little dots in everything you print to "scramble" their data?

It's much more fun to just react to the first few lines of the article! I saw the refund thing a tad later and got a good laugh. Lighten up! :)
Okay, relax everyone! Yahoo says I get a refund! (And you do too if you bought it in the last two Months) Take that, luck!
Octojebus forbid you to RTFA. I mean, the Konfabulator link is the 10th word in the linked article. Oh wait, "RTFA? Welcome to /. You must be new here"
