  1. Re:Will it continue? on On the iPhone and Apple's Meteoric Rise To the Top · · Score: 0

    No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

  2. Re:Just tried Windows 8 Server a few hours ago on Can Microsoft Afford To Lose With Windows 8? · · Score: 1

    If we're planning for a hypothetical future scenario, why not abandon the graphical UI completely and go with an entirely speech-driven interface, so we can use our communication badges to contact the virtual server running on a quantum cluster on Mars.

  3. Re:In the corporate world? Sure. on Can Microsoft Afford To Lose With Windows 8? · · Score: 1

    You would think that the whole period where companies actually advertised as a feature that a computer didn't come with Vista would have shamed Microsoft a little, but apparently not. Every time something like that happens, it makes the vaunted "Windows brand" less and less valuable.

  4. Are they sure? on Apple Switches (Mostly) To OpenStreetMap · · Score: 2

    How is OpenStreetMap determining that Apple's using their data versus a similar data set from a different source? I haven't seen anything about their methodology for coming to the conclusion that it's OpenStreetMap data. How easy is it to pin down map data to a specific provider?

  5. Different countries, different policies on Icelandic MP To Challenge US Court Ruling On Twitter Privacy · · Score: 2

    It's strange to expect that the same rules apply to all things. If I were looking for absolute anonymity, I wouldn't use a U.S.-based service. In the same way, if I wanted my money to be there the next day, I wouldn't use an Icelandic bank

  6. Re:Apple earns by tying customers to their store on Apple's Secret Weapon To Influence Industry Pricing · · Score: 1

    Yes, because build cost is all that matters. You get a bunch of parts together, and they magically design themselves into a product, write their own software, test themselves, market themselves, move themselves into stores, and support themselves. No human intervention or thought or anything else for which people expect to receive money is involved at any step of the process outside of manufacturing.

  7. Re:appletv = fail on Apple Announces New iPods, iTunes 10, Social Network, AppleTV · · Score: 1

    No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

  8. Re:Is 1% significant? on Matter-Antimatter Bias Seen In Fermilab Collisions · · Score: 1

    The main difference is that it would be ruled by the Anti-Monitor.
