  1. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away on Astronomers Detect Mysterious Radio Signals Coming From Outside Our Galaxy (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    The original Star Wars feed is at last getting here.

  2. Re:Why do you dorks hate technology so much? on Microsoft Patent Suggests HoloLens Could Keep Track of Your Small Items (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Star Track? If there is any dork here, that would be you.

  3. Mobile Windows is dead on Microsoft Is No Longer Selling Any Lumia Windows Phones On Its US Store (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    And there was much rejoicing. You don't have to consider yourself middle-fingered this time around, Microsoft - you are middle-fingered.

  4. Not Salvadore. Come on, this is easy. Other than this, it is rumored that, at the end of his life, Salvador Dalí would crawl around in his home, literally drivelling, while claiming that he was a snail.

  5. The Microsoft future on Microsoft Foresees AR Tracking Your Keys, Milk, Entire Life (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    You just lie down and stop using your brain; Cortana does everything for you. Leaving aside that this is not a vision of heaven, but of hell, the idiots at Microsoft are making the same mistake that the AI community has been making for the last 40 years. Consider yourself middle-fingered, Microsoft, and I guess I don't have to tell you what it is that you can do with Cortana.

  6. I wish I could lose $3.9B in one year on Toshiba Shares Plummet After Warning of 'Billions' in Losses (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    N/M.

  7. Why do companies have to be that obnoxious? on Android Ransomware Infects LG Smart TV, Company 'Refuses' To Help (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    I understand (if I do not share) the "business is business" rationale, maximizing profit regardless or morality, etc. However, I fail to understand the behavior of companies like LG, Samsung, Comcast, Verizon, etc. when they seem to act obnoxiously just because they can - i.e. they are in control, and because they can screw you, the customer, they will screw you, just because they can. Not that I was buying a lot of stuff from LG but, after this, it has definitely gained a slot in my list of companies from whom I will buy nothing. It will make no difference to them, but I will not have to put up with their attitude.

  8. Samsung is on fire on Apple Tops Holiday Sales With 44 Percent of All New Device Activations (macrumors.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Expect more explosive products from them.

  9. It does not matter on T-Mobile Is Killing the Remaining Galaxy Note7 Units Today (gsmarena.com) · · Score: 1

    Samsung is a company on fire. It will arise from its own ashes to deliver further explosive products that will no doubt re-kindle public interest. It is safe to say that people will soon have a burning desire to purchase those products.

  10. You can marry a rock, if you want on Humans Marrying Robots? Experts Say It's Really Coming (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    However, robots will have to improve a heck of a lot if they are to become marriageable. What is more likely is that people (mostly men) will have more and more sophisticated sex dolls.

  11. Streisand effect on VidAngel Keeps Streaming Videos, Defying Movie Studios and a US Judge (deseretnews.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I am sure that, like me, many had never heard of VidAngel. We will be checking it out. Thank you, content owners, for your continuing stupidity.

  12. The destructive influence of Microsoft on All Cyanogen Services Are Shutting Down (cyngn.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    It was a foregone conclusion that this company was doomed once Microsoft laid its filthy paws on it. Consider yourself middle-fingered, Microsoft.

  13. Hedge fund managers are good for shifting vast amounts of money to their own accounts, and little else.

  14. Microsoft screws its customers in different ways on a regular basis. Said customers keep coming back for more. Why apologize? If anything, Microsoft should up the ante and find out how much crap its customers are willing to put up with. For example, if I were Microsoft I would not only force them to upgrade, but I would also charge them for the privilege. Why not? If those suckers go for it...

  15. To take a break from the rhetoric for a few moments, it is interesting to think that, even with so many Note 7s still in use, the reports of "exploding batteries" have all but evaporated.

    Indeed. When something happens habitually it is not news any more.

  16. All because of Sissi on Egypt Has Blocked Encrypted Messaging App Signal (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    She should have remained an Austrian empress, rather than becoming Egypt's latest strongman.

  17. No surprise there. on IBM Employees Protest Cooperation With Donald Trump (theintercept.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    IBM was happy to collaborate with Hitler. Why not Trump? Or any other despicable national leader? After all, business is business, right, IBM?

  18. Re:"RoP" apologist mods are here! on Turkey Blocks Tor's Anonymity Network (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    I see the "Religion of Peace" apologist moderators are here!

    The Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism) have nothing to do with peace, and everything to do with conquest and forced conversion. They are among the most obnoxious creations of humanity, Christianity and Islam, especially - Judaism, at least, tries to keep its mumbo-jumbo to itself.

  19. Hopefully not on Samsung Could Look To LG For Phone Batteries After Note 7 Debacle (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    If they do, they might not be able to come up with explosive products. They would lose their reputation as a company on fire, and might therefore not be able to re-kindle the public's interest in their products. Don't do it, Samsung.

  20. But not really much new in the way of facts. Apart from this, THE major reason why Pons and Fleischmann lost credibility is because almost nobody could reproduce their results.

  21. Those who do not know Unix... on GoboLinux 016 Released With Its Own Filesystem Virtualization Tool (gobolinux.org) · · Score: 1

    ... are destined to reinvent it - poorly. GoboLinux, a new member of the club.

  22. Re:It's a damn pity on T-Mobile Exempts AT&T's DirecTV Now Service From Data Caps (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Except, you know, Binge on is an optional service.

    And not available to everybody - you have to have a plan with at least 6GB of data at 4G per month to qualify for it. This is something that T-Mobile hides away in the (very) little print.

  23. More junk from Samsung on Google May Prevent Samsung From Adding Viv AI Assistant To Galaxy S8 (ibtimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Leaving aside the fact that their handsets are overpriced (and have a tendency to explode) the big problem with Samsung phones is that they come with lots of inuninstallable bloatware.

  24. Microsoft should take over Xerox on Flash Will Soon Be 'Click-To-Run' in Microsoft Edge (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    After all, copying is in their genes.

  25. Good for India on India Just Flew Past Us In the Race To E-Cash (backchannel.com) · · Score: 2

    If they now devote some resources to developing their infrastructure, the rest of the world will start taking them seriously.
