  2. Its so obvious people!!! on Google Audits Street View Data Systems · · Score: 1

    Don't you see what google is doing people?!! Google cars AKA Google-bots are indexing the entire physical world!!! The only way to stay safe is to put a robot.txt on everything!!!! And tin foil hats cant hurt either.

  3. Re:viral? on New Russian Weapon Hides In Shipping Container · · Score: 1

    Yea for sure; isnt that the theme for C&C Generals? seems very EAesque

  4. Etch A Sketch on A Practical LCD Writing Tablet · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a high tech Etch A Sketch to me :)

  5. Viper on Electromagnetic Pulse Gun To Help In Police Chases · · Score: 1

    Does any one else remember that tv series Viper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viper_(TV_series)?

  6. Italian Job on Sound Generator Lethal From 10 Meters · · Score: 1

    Can it rip a woman's clothes off?

  7. NASA? on Scientists Create Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    Hasnt NASA already done this?

  8. Ultimatum? on In AU, Film Studios Issue Ultimatum To ISPs · · Score: 1

    Doesn't an ultimatum imply some sort of threat, like we will destroy you; not we will suggest that you get out of the industry?

  9. Helpful? on Turning a Cell Phone Into a Microscope · · Score: 1

    Now the third world needs to get cell phones so that we can turn them into cheap microscopes.

  10. Re:Many of these questions are legitimate on What Does Google Suggest Suggest About Humanity? · · Score: 1

    Can you put peroxide in your ear?

    Actually, you can use it to remove earwax and to disinfect your ear if you went swimming in dirty water. It's a perfectly safe, legitimate use.

    Technically that may be true but it cant be a blanket response; what this person is likely asking is, is it safe for me to go and get the peroxide 20% that my mum uses to bleach her hair and stick it in my ear? A totally different question with i assume a different answer, whilst i don't know a lot bout chemistry i assume it is not safe to put something that bleaches hair into the sensitive ear canal. I don't know why else some one would ask this question unless they wanted to know the long term effects of peroxide on the body.

    Can you drink your own urine?

    Again, a legitimate question. In a desperate situation, drinking your own urine may extend your survival under some environmental conditions. It's commonly mentioned in media.

    Sure you can but why if you have an internet connection and are in mortal peril, are you not trying to get help instead of goggling a search that is only going to result in a heap of kinky porn? Perhaps this is a more recreational search instead of for survival.

  11. Lesser of two evils on Apple Takes Action Over Australian Logos · · Score: 1

    Whilst looking at the two logos i think its an absolutely stupid idea that apple could think that anyone on their worst day could mistake one for the other; however knowing the power that woolworths has in Australia; being part of a duopoly that beats out competition and keeps the prices some of the highest in the world whilst not looking out for Australian farmers and now trying to expand into other markets im finding it hard to feel sorry for woolworths. whilst i don't think apples case will hold up and it wont change anything i cant help but feel satisfied that Goliath is getting some of its own back even if it is another Goliath dishing it out.

  12. just stupid on Legal Group Says Unlimited Broadband Promotes Piracy · · Score: 1

    ISP's provide a service; do you sue the power company because some people are using the power to grow pot or run a meth lab. You go after those that supply the problem not the legitimate service that enables them; that only hurts the genuine customers and does not address the problem.

  13. Re:MAC WORLD story time again! on iPhone 3.1 Update Disables Tethering · · Score: 1
  14. just one thing. on Trust an Insurance Company's "Drive-Cam?" · · Score: 1

    The only issue i would have with this is the sending the information back to the insurance company; i saw something similar ages ago that did the same but recorded the information onto an SD card instead; much better idea, not only for your insurance premiums but for your privacy as well.

  18. Japan set back 300 years on Exoskeletons For Rent In Japan · · Score: 1

    It seems like a rather low tech solution for mere transportation in Japan did they have another earth quake? http://www.theonion.com/content/news/earthquake_sets_japan_back_to_2147

  19. Finally on Lost World of Fanged Frogs and Giant Rats · · Score: 1

    A story i can sink my teeth into.

  20. data theft on Google Apps Not the DC Success Many Believe? · · Score: 1

    So now you have to rely on the public servants ability to make a password that's not some ones birthday; at least in the old days you would have to wait until they left their laptop or thumb drive in the back of a cab before you could access everyone information. hmm progress

  21. Wrong, just wrong on Church of Scientology Proposes Net Censorship In Australia · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Protecting the right of people to be anonymous is a human rights issue not trying to make it illegal. Do they really think that the government is going to put to referendum an amendment to the constitution that limits their ability to make policy; there is as much chance of that as politicians voluntarily taking a pay cut. They obviously don't understand that you cant censor the internet and there is always going to be away around censorship, same as the clean feed,freedom of speech cannot dissolved because they put it under the guise of vilification; and personally i don't think any religion should be protect in such a way; let alone whatever Scientology is.

    They say that everything in the media and promoted by anonymous is slander but truth is a defense; have they put forward any evidence to contradict what has been said that's not propaganda or are we just meant to take their world for it; we wouldn't have half the current affairs shows we have if organizations had to give their ok beforehand (not necessarily a bad thing tho more time for proper news), If it is only those that are against the organization that are willing to speak you cannot discredit them without speaking out yourself just buy saying no there wrong. You get reputations for a reason and attempting to silence opposition through law will not have the effect of changing opinion; indeed it could only solidify it, only truth can do that through transparency and credibility; and sanity helps.

    Probably not the most helpful or coherent post but aw.

  22. Some body please, think of the rich people on iPod Fee Proposed For Canada · · Score: 1

    Bit dramatic isn't it, would have though that all the free stuff they get for being walking billboards and the like would be more than enough compensation; as for the extreme expenses, http://www.tuaw.com/2009/07/02/the-88-song-recorded-on-iphone-and-released-in-itunes-store/; looks like they should do some cutting back then.
