  1. Re:Great innovation on Google Gmail Motion Beta · · Score: 0

    Yeah, but what would Outlook do? It would probably respond by holding its breath until it turned blue. Although, that's probably why you were gesturing to begin with.

  2. What gay cure app? on Apple Removes Gay Cure App From App Store · · Score: 0

    I didn't even know I should be offended by it until it was banned.

  3. Full Circle on Why the AT&T and T-Mobile Merger Is Bad For Consumers · · Score: 0

    Eventually we we return to the '70s where Ma Bell gave us the choice between the beige phone and the black phone. The good news is that it will be prohibitively difficult to text and drive with a rotary dial handset.

  4. Re:I thought it was... on New Internal Cavity X-ray Technology for Airports · · Score: 0

    Why can't I carry a pocket knife on a plane?

    Because your weapon works in other hands as well.

  5. "Easter" Egg on Vatican Bans IOS Confession App · · Score: -1

    There's a hot spot on the false gods questionnaire that, when touched, tells you where the Vatican is hiding Jesus's actual remains.

  6. Instinctively? on Stabbing Victim Saved by Fast Food · · Score: 0

    I can't think of a single animal that instinctively jams food in a wound. I also am having trouble figuring out how that mess he is holding helped the situation.

  7. Re:He's right. on Cheap Games a Risk To the Industry, Says Nintendo President · · Score: 0

    By constantly lowering prices and conditioning customers to accept them, you actually stifle innovation and drive out businesses. In the bricks and mortar world this is what Wal-mart does, and they've managed to destroy and dominate markets while offering less overall quality and selection.

    I think this is quite different from Wal-mart in that Apple does not set the price of the game nor has selection suffered due to practically infinite shelf space. Sure, there are plenty of low-price titles available but there are also higher-priced, more interesting titles as well. If the title owners could not afford to produce content at the price they set, they wouldn't last. In any event, there is enough incentive at the current prices to attract developers, graphic artists, and marketers. And the content they develop is compelling enough to attract both serious and casual consumers.

  8. Re:Same as TV networks jamming reception? on Facebook-Deprived Man Sues For $500K · · Score: 0

    Perhaps jam is the wrong word. Your example more clearly illustrates what I was getting at. There was a problem similar to this with satellite dishes a few years back. If you could get major network reception from your local transmitter, the dish company was not allowed to provide you with the same, presumably to protect local affiliates. There were exceptions but it was easier to tolerate a bad RF signal than argue with the satellite provider.

    Over air TV broadcast is free too. Could NBC jam a neighborhood's reception for an undisclosed reason?

  10. Re:Stop being scared. You're letting them win. on A Nude Awakening — the TSA and Privacy · · Score: 0

    I say round up all Americans who say they would die for their country and offer them the chance to put some skin in the game. Taking this relatively small risk to preserve this aspect of our personal freedom is a good start.

  11. What will history say? on Stewart and Colbert Plan Competing D.C. Rallies · · Score: 0

    I look forward to seeing future history books recount how two comedy news anchors took down of the corporate news beast. Hopefully they can finish what Bill Hicks started.

  12. Re:Springtime for Hitler on APB To Close Mere Months After Launch · · Score: 0

    I guess there is an unwritten rule that even mentioning Hitler will get a Troll mod. Ever see the Producers? I guess I should be more careful next time.

    Was Max Bialystock a silent partner in this venture? If so, it appears he found a working vehicle for his plan.
