  1. Windows 8? on But Can It Run Crysis 3? · · Score: 1

    I thought Windows 8 couldn't run any games.

  2. Re:Forget battery life - price is way too high on Why Microsoft's Surface Pro Could Fail · · Score: 1

    "Pro" doesn't always mean "Advanced user at home". Sometimes it's equal to "Enterprise with lots of Microsoft products (and cash)".

    Why Windows 8 will fail...
    Why Windows Phone 8 will fail...

  4. Re:Third world on In Calculator Arms Race, Casio Fires Back: Color Touchscreen ClassPad · · Score: 4, Funny

    Graphing calculators are so expensive and their price have been stable for so much time that some people are proposing they should be the new gold standard.

  5. Re:rubbish source of data on PressureNET 2.1 Released: the Distributed Barometer Network For Android · · Score: 1

    In my area I can safely assume >50% of people are in air conditioned environments. How would they detect it and ignore our data? Very tricky.

  6. Oh, you said Oracle? on Oracle Proposes New Native JavaScript Engine for OpenJDK · · Score: 1

    Don't care.

  7. Re:I don't understand German law but... on "Anonymous" File-Sharing Darknet Ruled Illegal By German Court · · Score: 3, Informative

    On the contrary, someone please make sure these people hear about it. Only then will the nonsense stop.

  8. Solution: less people on Earth on The World Falls Back In Love With Coal · · Score: 1

    That way each one individually get to spend their current share without overloading the planet.

    I don't see another solution. It seems countries have better _actual_ results in convincing people to have less children than using green energy.

  9. What? on Facebook To Eliminate Voting On Privacy Changes · · Score: 1

    I've no idea what they are talking about. Must be because I deleted by FB a while ago.

  10. GNOME3 posts here on KDE 4.10 Beta1 Released · · Score: 2

    Let's not confuse readers. Please post GNOME3 hate posts below only.

  11. 2013 will be the year of the Linux game console on Valve's Big Picture Could Be a Linux Game Console · · Score: 1

    We're almost there.

  12. Why worry about Huawei? on Australia's Biggest Telco Sold Routers With Hardcoded Passwords · · Score: 1

    I think Telstra is doing a fine job on screwing .au

  13. Re:Windows 8 is SOOOOOOOOO good. on Bungled Mobile Bet Will Be Ballmer's Swan Song · · Score: 1

    I think the parts, when analyzed separately, I doing OK.

    Sure, that Metro interface for tablets needs some works and more apps. But it's good, just need some work. It's not fundamentally flawed. Those new tablets come with pretty decent hardware too so I think, if Microsoft can keep afloat while it's fixing things, it'll be good in the end

    Sure, mixing Metro and traditional desktop on the laptops/desktops were a pretty bold move. But seeing those new ultrabooks with touchscreen that flip and turn them into a kind-of tablet.. I really wanna use Metro while I'm holding and then back to traditional desktop when I'm using in default laptop mode.

    I don't know.. the signs of failure ahead are not so obvious to me.

  14. Re:Who decided it was a flop already? on Bungled Mobile Bet Will Be Ballmer's Swan Song · · Score: 1

    No, it was just a subtle suggestion that we picked up because we are so good readers. Right.

  15. Great news for Oracle databases! on Intel Details Eight-Core Poulson Itanium Processor · · Score: 2

    The next upgrade will surely make things fly!

  16. Re:Judge should make Apple stop dicking around on Apple Stops Hiding Samsung Apology On Its UK Site · · Score: 1

    Forgot to determine that no object should be in front of the sign as to obstruct the shopper's view.

  17. Re:Slashvertisement & Impending lawsuit on Motorcycle App Helps You Ride Faster, Turn Sharper, Brake Harder · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should. Except they never do and people die.

  18. Re:This will probably kill people. on Motorcycle App Helps You Ride Faster, Turn Sharper, Brake Harder · · Score: 1

    These people aren't bad drivers because there wasn't an app to show them how to be better. You have to dig deeper.

  19. Re:Not sure I understand... on AMD Closes OSRC, Lays Off Several Linux Kernel Developers · · Score: 1

    The current trend is: focus on tablets. Discard anything else as unimportant.

  20. Re:Today Microsoft Officially Died on Nvidia Doubles Linux Driver Performance, Slips Steam Release Date · · Score: 2, Funny

    Agreed. All those dozens of hardcore gamers holding Linux back. Now they have no excuse!

  21. Should ask Lady Gaga too on Linus Torvalds Tries KDE, Likes It So Far · · Score: 2

    This is getting out of control.

  22. Re:They will have to invest in carriers on Windows Phone 8 Having Trouble Attracting Developers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Looks like it. Since they are saying WP8 has >100k apps. They must be counting WP7 apps.

  23. They will have to invest in carriers on Windows Phone 8 Having Trouble Attracting Developers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Once carriers start pushing W8 phones everywhere and users get to actually interact with those devices then developer interest will follow.

    It's the cost of not being the cheapest or the first to market.

  24. Re:MS Surface problems on Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer: Forget the iPad, Surface Is the Tablet People Want · · Score: 2

    - too expensive = agreed, for a device that is entering the market they should have made it a bit less expensive

    - too confusing = kind of agree. they've made it clear x86 apps won't run, i think there are enough signs everywhere

    - too lad = disagree, that would imply once a vendor grabs most of the marketshare, it's pointless to enter the market. macosx and linux should give up trying to grab more marketshare in the desktop/laptop space?
