  1. Re:Disgraceful, if true! on Google Stops Ads For "Cougar" Sites · · Score: 5, Informative

    I just searched for some sweet cougar action, and google was happy to advertise appropriately. CougarLife.com, however, comes up a fair amount in spam, and isn't advertised.

  2. Disgraceful, if true! on Google Stops Ads For "Cougar" Sites · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've seen a lot of spam for these kinds of site, so there may be a valid reason for closely examining them, but if this is an editorial decision, it's repulsive.

  3. Re:Patent trolling should be outlawed on Apple vs. Nokia vs. Google vs. HTC · · Score: 1

    Not necesarily - it "actively developing" or even "producing" could include sale as a package of the patent. But I don't understand why broad patents would be useless. Surely, the broader the better.

  4. Re:Apple on Android Sales Surpass iPhone Sales · · Score: 1

    The interesting question is if Google is turning a profit from all the resources they've invested.

    I believe Microsoft is doing quite well from licensing the 100s of their patents in the Linux kernel.

  5. Re:WebOS? Intermeresting... on HP's Slate To Be Replaced By WebOS Tablet? · · Score: 1
    Could the WebOS interface be used with Android, or Dalvik be ported to WebOS?

    The interface would be especially appealing if it came with all those apps.

  6. Re:Seriously? on First Non-Latin TLDs Go Online Today · · Score: 1

    Thank you very much.
    TFA could have mentioned it.

    Is it chauvinistic that I find this insane?

    I wouldn't mind if they used an escape character sequence and then mapped other alphabets to strings of Latin characters, but actually breaking backwards compatibility...

  8. Re:There are only like 3 classes of driver support on Hot Sales In China For Wi-Fi Key-Cracking Kits · · Score: 1

    Backtrack 3 supports the delightful AWUS036h - a powerful USB WiFi adapter that allows packet crafting.

  9. Re:Your website is so awesome..... on Consumer Webcams With High-Quality Sensors? · · Score: 1

    Chromium on Ubuntu handles it all nicely.

  10. Re:I got a full cavity search from those guys once on CBSA Reveals Some Laptop Search Info, But Not Much · · Score: 1
    Were they wearing protective clothing?

    I've always imagined I could spray shit for a couple of feet if I had to.

  11. Features... on WePad Tablet Will Use Linux To Rival the iPad · · Score: 3, Funny

    A delightful microfan to hum you to sleep.

  12. Re:What I would ask Google is.. on Google to Open Source the VP8 Codec · · Score: 1

    I think it's more likely that the FSF offered their pleas after the decision had obviously been made.

  13. Re:Adam or Dell mini 5 on Google Preparing iPad Rival? · · Score: 1
    Pixel Qi does it for me!

    The ability to read in sunlight is the one thing keeping me tied to either p-books or my crappy eReader.

    But the Mini 5 doesn't have an exceptionally high resolution, and has some weird 30 pin adapter. What about it do you find appealing? The size of the on-screen keyboard?

  14. Use this to promote Android on Google Preparing iPad Rival? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I believe that Google should spare no expense in SOLID build quality. Even if it's expensive, a high-resolution, magnesium-cased, tough, PADD-style device would make Android the platform with clearly the BEST tablet device. Put the best of everything into it; cameras, good speakers. Enough to mesmerize the tech journalists. Other, more reasonable, price-points would benefit from being in that market.

  15. We can hold our heads high again on Firefox Search In Ubuntu 10.04 Changed To Google · · Score: 1
    I've installed Ubuntu on a number of friends' computers, at their request. The main reason they like it is that it's not the store-brand poor man's alternative, as Yahoo is to Google.

    Letting them see me switching from Yahoo to Google would just look retarded. Like Ubuntu couldn't afford Google, but had the next best thing.
