  1. Fining Google while ignoring the competition on EU Regulators Fine Google Record $5 Billion in Android Case (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple install its proprietary software while ignoring competitive products too. When will the EU bring Apple to court?

  2. Tie-in sales illegal in USA on Comcast Won't Give New Speed Boost To Internet Users Who Don't Buy TV Service (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Trying sales in the United States have been illegal for decades. The only question is will somebody bother to try to enforce the law?

  3. Apple ][ 4k, rf modulator, tape recorder on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your First Home Computer? · · Score: 1

    7/77; shopped for three years, wife told me to go buy the damned thing already.

  4. So, the quoted originator of this 'horror tale' is capable of reading a decades-old science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein. Easy to avoid; build a Space Elevator from the Lunar surface to orbit instead of a mass driver.

  5. Re: Conform or be expelled on HOA Orders TARDIS Removed From In Front of Parrish Home · · Score: 1

    Condos are a form of ownership where there are common areas under joint ownership. A townhouse or townhome is a type of structure, generally attached side by side in groups of three or more units. A townhouse may be a condo, but may not be. My current home (10 years) is an individually owned townhouse. We have an HOA created by the original developer 30 years ago.

  6. Time for evolution deniers to start jumping off ta on New Study Shows One-Third of Americans Don't Believe In Evolution · · Score: 1

    Gravity is a theory too.

  7. Re:Advice on making a commercial contract on Providing a Closed Source License Upon Request? · · Score: 1

    Excellent analysis.

  8. Don't hide your affiliation on Religion in Video Games · · Score: 1

    I honestly don't care if there are games targeted to a particular religious audience; just label it so I won't waste my money on a it. Just give me the respect a consumer deserves. I don't want someone coming to the door proselytizing, stay out of my computer.;

  9. As much as I hate Apple on CrunchPad Being Re-branded As JooJoo · · Score: 2, Insightful

    After Apple abandoned me and tens of thousands of other Apple ][ and ][+ owners almost thirty years ago, I have no love for those crooks. But I could get an Ipod Touch with twice as much memory at half the price and several times the battery life. At the $250 price level, the larger screen would have been worth it; at $500, no way.
