  1. Re:I'm 12 years old and what is this? on Why Doesn't 'Google Kids' Exist? · · Score: 1

    Remarkably well composed for a 12 year old.

  2. Re:Verizon won't roll them out to kiosks. . . on Windows Phones Getting Buried At Carriers' Stores · · Score: 1

    What good will that do them? They'll combine both of their sub-standard mobile OS's and somehow take down Google and Apple?

    Hell, this is coming from a guy with a Blackberry. I wish it could happen; I wish RIM would snap themselves out of the iPhone-induced stupor they seem to be in. Sadly, I don't think they can do it.

  3. Re:Answer: on Have We Reached Maximum Sustainable Population Size? · · Score: 1

    Mismanagement and desire for control is the problem..

    The people responsible for mismanagement are in charge of the situation. We'll be out of this in a jiffy...

  4. Re:So behind the times... on Apple WWDC: iOS 5, Lion, iCloud · · Score: 1

    What about the people who rip their music at 320kbps? iCloud will downgrade my music for $25 a year?

  5. Re:Is that $30 per machine? Family pack? on Apple WWDC: iOS 5, Lion, iCloud · · Score: 1

    For all = $30
    For each = $60

  6. Re:I skipped Snow Leopard on Apple WWDC: iOS 5, Lion, iCloud · · Score: 2

    Maybe they'll distribute it through iTunes. Because, you know, why not?

  7. Re:In other words... on Apple WWDC: iOS 5, Lion, iCloud · · Score: 1

    It will be the same in Lion. Unless the apps are rewritten to support these features they won't work. It doesn't just happen magically.

    Apple will likely require developers to implement them.

  8. Re:I hope you can disable video sources... on Microsoft Announces Halo 4, TV For Xbox Live, Kinect Star Wars · · Score: 1

    Sure. You have to have software installed on your box for all of those video services. If they're not installed, I doubt your Xbox even knows how to display such results.

  9. Re:What else would they have done? on Apple Acknowledges MacDefender · · Score: 1

    Okay, Mr. Pedantic, Fireproof materials and kevlar vests are one thing. But when you state on your own website that users don't have to worry about infections, and then infections begin to crop up, you've sort of soiled the aluminum bed.

    Interestingly, Apple's virus information page has gotten a little less bold over the years. It used to be more along the lines of: 'Viruses just don't exist. Don't worry about them.'

  10. Re:What else would they have done? on Apple Acknowledges MacDefender · · Score: 1

    Apple is a very safe platform, but the safest software in the world can't protect against Stupid.

    Apple's whole stance for the last ten years has been that 'Stupid' was not a problem on their platform. They've been telling everyone that their products are idiot-proof.

  11. Re:Say one thing and do another on Users Want Matte LCDs While Glossy Screens Dominate · · Score: 1

    The reason might be that consumers claim they want matte screens but they go and buy glossy screens. Manufacturers are probably substantially less interested in what these surveys say than what their sales numbers say.

    The problem is that most consumers aren't given a choice.

  12. Re:Corporate sales? on Corporate Mac Sales Surge 66% · · Score: 1

    The difference is: driving the Porsche to the corner store makes you feel special. Hell, the Porsche makes any journey feel downright awesome.

  13. Re:Corporate sales? on Corporate Mac Sales Surge 66% · · Score: 1

    I find some Macbook Pros to be uncomfortable to use on my lap because they get so hot.

    Not only that, but the edge where you rest your wrists is very sharp on those Macbook Pros. It makes typing almost unbearable. Call me crazy, but I don't like sharp objects near my wrists.

  14. Re:Stalled alongside the economy on Has the Console Arms Race Stalled? · · Score: 1

    In this economy, it's going to be very hard for people to rationalize plopping down $500 or $600 for a new console.

    I know a certain company seems to be doing very well selling their iProducts around those prices.

  15. Re:What will they replace it with? on Swiss To End Use of Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they can whip up some support for wind power?

  16. Re:Sensationalist article with no substance on Why Thunderbolt Is Dead In the Water · · Score: 1

    Right now, on newegg, im only seeing USB3.0 on highend multi-hundred-dollar motherboards, so it seems to be a wash in that regard.

    Bullshit

  17. Re:Ignorance is strength on AppleCare Reps Told To Skirt Malware Questions · · Score: 2
  18. Re:So? on AppleCare Reps Told To Skirt Malware Questions · · Score: 1

    Actually, they have an entire software devoted to it. That's more than Apple can say.

  19. Tax the internet on Canadian Music Industry Seeks Copy Tax On Memory Cards · · Score: 1

    They could probably convince the courts that they need to tax the Internet, because it's so evil and all. That way, they'll have a steady stream of income every month from millions of people.

  20. Re:Revolving Door on FCC Commissioner Leaves To Become Lobbyist · · Score: 1

    Action will only happen when people begin to truly feel the effects. Logic is lost on the masses.

    Most people are so far removed from what happens in Washington that the cause/effect is hard to identify. They don't have anything to point to and be angry at.

  21. Re:Reduced prices too! on Computer Factories Are the Energy Hogs · · Score: 1

    The price of high-tech never drops, because it gets redefined every couple of months.

  22. Re:really?! on NYPD Anti-Terrorism Cameras Used For Much More · · Score: 1

    Since when does the government have a right to monitor the movements of an entire city's population when 99% have probably done nothing wrong.

    I see you've never been to London.

  23. Re:Questions. on FBI Releases Document Confirming Roswell UFO · · Score: 1

    They have done a proper investigation; they're just not giving the information to us.

  24. Re:Tax junk food on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    Why should I have to pay more for my junk food when I'm not fat? Tax the fat people.

  25. Re:The ultimate irony on Google Fights Back Against Android Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    No, Google wants to control Android to prevent the stupid corporations from fucking it up any further.
