  1. Re:Pray I don't change them further.... on Apple In Trouble With Developers · · Score: 1

    Notice how Valve is already running for the exits?

    No. Adding support for another OS as a hedge is not the same as ditching Windows since Windows will still be where the vast majority of their sales come from.

  2. Re:Billionaire. on Mark Zuckerberg's Big Facebook Mistake · · Score: 0

    You realize he only has that money on paper, right? He actually has to sell his stocks to get cash andf no one buys his paper worth isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

  3. Re:Reality bites on Mark Zuckerberg's Big Facebook Mistake · · Score: 2

    No. He sold 30 million of the 533 million he held. He sold less than 6% of his stock.

  4. Re:Community Relations on Researchers Beat Google's Bouncer · · Score: 2

    Yes, because he didn't apprise Apple of the research beforehand. That makes a pretty big difference than having the company be aware you are doing the research and give its blessing.

    And the airplanes the rest of us ride are not "private vehicles"?

  6. Re:Again? on Google Warned Samsung Galaxy Tab Was "Too Similar" · · Score: 1

    Then maybe you should read the packaging before buying? We can't even hold people to standards of basic literacy?

  7. Re:oh just admit it on Google Outs 3D Maps For iOS Ahead of Apple · · Score: 1

    Except that many of the Android phone makers are pretty fucking terrible at making decent hardware or even providing decent versions of Android as well without their OEM crapware thrown on top. So that sort of blows your entire point.

  8. Re:I don't get it on OpenBSD's De Raadt Slams Red Hat, Canonical Over 'Secure' Boot · · Score: 1

    The loss of 10s of millions of sales?

  9. Re:is installing Linux on Apple hardware a solutio on OpenBSD's De Raadt Slams Red Hat, Canonical Over 'Secure' Boot · · Score: 1

    Yes, doing it to iOS devices with their ARM chip. There was nothing from Apple even remotely hinting of doing so with their x86 hardware. Nice FUD, though.

  10. Re:Canonical deserves it on OpenBSD's De Raadt Slams Red Hat, Canonical Over 'Secure' Boot · · Score: 1

    Let's change the entire interface to be more like Win7

    Since when did Windows 7 have overlay scroll bars, global menus, and the title bar buttons on the left?

  11. Re:No, thanks. on Ex-Sun Employees Are Taking Java To iOS · · Score: 1

    Yeah and only needed double the CPU cores more RAM to do so.

  12. Re:finally on Ex-Sun Employees Are Taking Java To iOS · · Score: 2

    So programs that are slow to start up, eat memory like crazy and are pretty laggy and unresponsive? Yep, typical Java 'awesomeness'.

  13. Re:Swing like API? on Ex-Sun Employees Are Taking Java To iOS · · Score: 1

    Uh huh. So it was so easy that almost no one wrote these 'few lines of code'? Also what would have been the point of Standard Widget Toolkit if Swing was so great and native looking?

  14. Re:but what about mountain lion on New Mac Trojan Installs Silently, No Password Required · · Score: 1

    Or those signed by a registered Apple developer since that is the default Gatekeeper setting.

  15. Re:but it's never been seen in the wild on New Mac Trojan Installs Silently, No Password Required · · Score: 3, Informative

    Maybe you should?

    Intego, which had to update its anti-malware signatures upon discovering the threat, refers to it as "OSX/Crisis." The good news is that the security firm has yet to find OSX/Crisis in the wild; the company only stumbled upon it over at VirusTotal, a service for analyzing suspicious files and URLs.

    So there is no proof of it being in the wild and was only found on a website for analyzing files. So how exactly were they wrong?

  16. Re:but what about mountain lion on New Mac Trojan Installs Silently, No Password Required · · Score: 1

    No.

  17. Re:How convenient on New Mac Trojan Installs Silently, No Password Required · · Score: 1

    Yes, because Apple is well known for colluding with anti-virus companies to sell new versions of their OS.

  18. Re:but what about mountain lion on New Mac Trojan Installs Silently, No Password Required · · Score: 2

    Sure it will. If it's not signed by Apple or an Apple developer, Gatekeeper prevents it from installing. Or do you have any proof ot can bypass Gatekeeper?

  19. Re:Macs don't get viruses. on New Mac Trojan Installs Silently, No Password Required · · Score: 5, Informative

    And trojans aren't viruses unless you're going to show how this is self-replicating.

  20. Re:Not entirely useful on Ex-Sun Employees Are Taking Java To iOS · · Score: 1

    Great but this won't work for Android apps since they don't use Swing.

  21. Re:Swing like API? on Ex-Sun Employees Are Taking Java To iOS · · Score: 1

    Except there are tools and instruments that are objectively shitty. Swing was terrible and looked like shit on all platforms without having to put in way more effort than it was worth.

  22. Re:finally on Ex-Sun Employees Are Taking Java To iOS · · Score: 1

    You'd at least think their demo video wouldn't show a sluggish looking app. If it's that sluggish on such a toy app, one can only imagine the terrible performance of anything complex.

    Awesome Java desktop applications? LOL good joke.

  24. Re:And my car gets 60 MPG going downhill on Comcast Launches Superfast Internet To Fight FiOS · · Score: 1

    Sure, but your average speed has very little to do with the throughput of Comcast's network alone. So again, how is Comcast going to reliably give ou the figure when it highly dependent on network utlization especially on networks out of their control?

  25. Re:And my car gets 60 MPG going downhill on Comcast Launches Superfast Internet To Fight FiOS · · Score: 1

    Because you somehow get infinite network capacity when you undersell?
