  1. Just as Bing is gaining popularity on Bing Search Tainted By Pro-Microsoft Results · · Score: 1

    "Just as Bing is gaining popularity" Citation needed.

  2. Re:So what, it's MS's service... on Bing Search Tainted By Pro-Microsoft Results · · Score: 1

    The bing search for "Why does pepsi sucks" brings up "Why Windows Vista Sucks" as the fourth result. I guess bing decided pepsi sucks because vista does too.

    It's impressive that he was able to replicate the job that had been done by Microsoft's decision makers without the need for consulting any usage statistics, market analysis, etc. Maybe if they sack the decision makers in order to take this guy in, they'll be able to save on the data gathering step and jump straight to the conclusions!

  4. Re:Rejecting copyright on RIAA Says "Don't Expect DRMed Music To Work Forever" · · Score: 1

    Now this is something very interesting. Either protect yourself with the law, or with copy-prevention measures; but you can't do both.

    This is precisely what I was thinking. They can even decide the meeting point by calculating the lowest average traveling distance from their respective homes.

  6. Re:Right on on Undercover Cameras Catch PC Repair Scams, Privacy Violations · · Score: 1

    But the problem here isn't the client underpaying you. It's the employer screwing the employees. How come you can charge a client 50$ for installing a chip of ram and pay your employee only 7.50$? There is a huge gap there considering the tech won't even spend a complete hour installing that chip. Either installing RAM should be charged 5-10$, either the employee should be paid at least 40$/hour. The geek squad sucks not because of the employees working in it, but because of the policies imposed by it's controlling entity.

  7. Even more dependant on broadband... on Blizzard Confirms No LAN Support For Starcraft 2 · · Score: 1

    It seems like we are always pushed towards using broadband just as the quality of these connections is on a constant downfall. Means there will be no multi-player StarCraft II for you when your ISP fails you with their DNS servers; even if everyone in your household owns a legitimate copy of the game.
