  1. Isn't this a serious threat to Net Neutrality? on Amazon Will Soon Stop Selling Google's 'Nest' Smart Home Products (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I think Google and Amazon’s feud could jeopardize Net Neutrality.

    While it’s one thing to want to avoid selling one another’s competing products, when you drag access to media content from Amazon Video and Google’s YouTube into the fray isn't that dangerously close to two network providers imposing restrictions over their respective content based on one’s network connection?

    Device sales should not impose restrictions on media access any more than your ISP connection should.

  2. Re:"Branded verticals"? on AOL Picking Up Journalists Shed By Conventional Media · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do you read much about cars? Turns out that Autoblog is definitely an improving brand amongst auto enthusiasts. Autoblog is one of the most quoted and referenced websites on the numerous (and growing) car forums on the net. This challenges the traditional vehicles of auto journalism such as MotorTrend, Car and Driver, and Road&Track. To claim a niche blog is not a brand ignores the very site you posted the claim on.

  3. Re:Engineers are not usually thinkers on Engineering School Grads - Tradesmen or Thinkers? · · Score: 1

    > I went to physics grad school and work in an engineering school. The engineers are not thinkers compared with physicists and mathematicians.

    Oh, I understand. So that's why they are all working in the CS field?

  4. Re:HP and Epson on Epson Pulls Linux Software Following GPL Violations · · Score: 1

    What exactly has HP done that would warrant
    such a statement?

  5. Re:Escape from Silicon Valley on Sili-Hudson Valley? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There is no problem in the South. The South is growing at a rapid clip which is evidenced by new home sales, increased traffic, and an increasing number of jobs of varied skill levels. The economy there certainly does not 'suck' any more than other regions of the country during a recession. It is time to stop using the South as a punching bag and start acknowledging what has actually transpired there in the past 15 years as far as progress is concerned.

  6. Misinformation on What's Next in CPU Land after Itanium? · · Score: 1

    HP did *not* give up processor engineers, they sold a chipset group to Intel. The referenced story states that quite clearly. Why perpetuate misinformation?

  7. Re:No Digital Rights Management - Yee Haw! on HP Officially Announces 40g MP3 Stereo Component · · Score: 1

    What crappy products coming out of HP are you referring to?

  8. Re:Where does HP fit now? on Intel Gets PA-RISC Engineers · · Score: 1

    What makes you think HP is getting out of the OS business? HP has major labs supporting and extending HP-UX all over the country. HP has also been instrumental in porting Linux to the IA64 platform. Dell doesn't have high-end computing solutions. Where in their line up is anything that compares to Superdome? Don't get me wrong, Dell is doing quite well in the pc business. However, this doesn't equate to being equal to HP as far as enterprise level equipment and solutions are concerned.
