  1. Re:Don't let reality get in the way of your anger on MA High School Forces All Students To Buy MacBooks · · Score: 1

    Simple solution for doing homework at home. Google Docs.

  2. Re:Only the Analytics are banned on Google Slams Apple Over iPhone Ad Ban · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Cable and satellite providers are the content distribution services. Of course they have a right to decide who advertises on their networks. If Sony told cable and satellite providers that they weren't aloud to analyse what stations users were watching on their Sony TV, while Sony was at the same time polling all this information for themselves and feeding ad's to the sets, you'd be singing a different song.

  3. Re:What's the point? on AI Astronomer Aids Effort To Analyze Galaxies · · Score: 1

    How do we know what the best use for observation resources is? why are ones that are closer to us any better than the ones far away? How do you determine where the good discoveries will be ? This seems like a politician's approach to science.

  4. Re:Competition is a good thing on Apple Announces iPhone 4 · · Score: 1

    Job's covered this point in the speech well enough. The lens is the same as in the 3gs and the size of the pixels on the sensor are the same, there's just more of them now. Also there is some fancy lighting that is done behind the sensor to that allows more photons to be collected. Not sure how that works, but Apple has been taught this lesson well it would seem.

  5. Friends or Foes on Gizmodo Not Welcome at 2010 WWDC · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter about the law here. It comes down to etiquette. Giz probably would have had a better deal for a scoop had they not torn it apart and posted the teardown online before they gave it back to Apple. You don't treat a company you want to be your friend that way. They should have known this was coming. Really they're just acting the victim because nothing since has brought them attention like this has.

  6. Re:Good thing ... on Adobe Warns of Flash, PDF Zero-Day Attacks · · Score: 1

    I've tried syncing to my iphone with different systems. It doesn't work. We iphone users are stuck with itunes if we want to easily sync music. The other way makes things even more difficult than itunes did in the first place. sigh. I'll compromise though because android isn't nearly as polished yet. I want to do android but I feel like it'll be an overall step backwards.
