  1. What do we get out of it? on Roomba's Next Big Step Is Selling Maps of Your Home to the Highest Bidder (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Why should I spend money on a Roomba so it can tell me to spend more money?
    I'm fully capable of buying furniture on my own, thank you very much.

    They mention Amazon as a buyer, but let's get real, spam ads would eventually show up.

    Lastly, I'd just disable my Roomba's internet capabilities if I somehow got too lazy to vacuum.

  2. Didn't forget, never knew it existed. on Microsoft Is Closing the Social Network You Forgot It Ever Launched (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    I still dislike it when articles, and such, make assumptions about me.

  3. People seem to forget on Maybe There's No Life in Space Because We're Too Early · · Score: 1

    Whenever I see articles likes these, I get a feeling that people forget that we are looking into the far, far past when we observe other stars.
    Hypothetically: If we travel a few thousands light years away from Earth and point a telescope at the planet, it will look like there is no life here.

  4. Then maybe, just maybe, there's a possibility that we will find nuclei on a cob.

  5. Re:Nintendo needs to rethink its place in the worl on Is the Wii U Already Dead? · · Score: 1

    It's not a catch 22 situation. It's a "chicken/egg" scenario.

    Not really, it's not a question of which came first. Spoilers: the egg came first.

  6. Re:Nintendo needs to rethink its place in the worl on Is the Wii U Already Dead? · · Score: 1

    First of all, the Wii was a not a kids console it was a family oriented console. The Wii U , on the other hand, is not - have you even looked at it's library?
    Darksiders 2, Mass effect 3, Tekken Tag Tournament 2; just to name a few examples that are not kid games and they exist for the Wii U.

    The problem the Wii U has is that there are barely any games for the system, those that exist are mostly ports and because of that people don't want to buy the Wii U since they already own these games. In result developers don't want to make games for the Wii U because it sells too poorly. It's a catch 22.

    Nintendo needs to publish a few games on their own to encourage gamers to buy the system so third party developers will make games for it. Bayonetta 2 will most likely help in selling Wii U's which is a step in the right direction for them but it will take a while until it gets released.

  7. You can still have a fake name on G+ on Google Wants You to Use Your Real Name on YouTube · · Score: 1

    I use my pen name on Google+ and it's the same name on Youtube, just no space. So you can imagine what happens if I do accept it to use my Google+ name.

  8. Building Lunar Machines and Mars? on Joseph Palaia Answers Your Questions About Building Lunar Machines and Mars · · Score: 1

    Holy crap someone built Mars, I had no idea. Always thought it was a natural phenomena resulting from the creation of our star but oh well.

    Unless they mean "Mars and Building Lunar Machines" which goes to show that "Grammar does Matter". -_-

  9. What the Frack? on Vermont Bans Fracking · · Score: 4, Funny

    I hope I wasn't the only one who immediately thought of Battlestar Galactica.

  10. Navigation on Star Trek's Warp Drive Not Impossible · · Score: 1

    What I wonder is, will one be able to travel through planets like in star trek or will it be like in star wars where you will have to navigate between them.
