  1. Re:Its the 'compete' bit I dont like on Amazon To Launch 'Amazon Appstore For Android' · · Score: 1

    Hey, no choice for you, unless you agree with the Slashdot 12, defenders of undefined philosophies and business plans.

  2. Re:Wouldn't it be great... on Amazon To Launch 'Amazon Appstore For Android' · · Score: 1

    Different people suck.

    If they'd just go and make everyone the same, it'd make marketing much easier and I'd be able to get out of the office by 10 AM every day.

    few people care about the lock-in to Apple's market.

    You must be new here.

    What about pumperknickle? It works with everything!

    How dare anyone not provide full software support for all the hardware I have purchased, for all time!

    I thought the arguments were:

    If iPhone has a single app store, that's bad.

    If Android has multiple app stores, that's bad.

    Hell Yeah!

    Why the hell hasn't The Community gotten off their lazy, pimpled rear ends and done this already?!!!

    The masses have spoken and they want free OpenGL code and pasta NOW!

    How dare different carriers and vendors use Android as they desire. Android should only be deployed the way the Slashdot Council of 12 decrees!

    It's just like when Walmart started selling Legos and then forced Target, K-Mart, and Toys-R-Us to stop selling them.

    More regular folks are comfortable dealing with Amazon? They basically setting themselves up as the consumer commerce portal. Plus, even with making less on individual sales, may be able to make more on volume, what with Amazon's multiple paths of promotion.

    They should bring back Seinfeld for these cloud commercials.

  12. Re:Benefit? on Apple Creating Cloud-Based Mac? · · Score: 1

    I've advocated for regular users at my work to be set up on virtual machines, that can be either local or network based. Would make hardware issues much easier to deal with, as well as back ups and such. Only let techs touch the base OS.

  13. Re:Tim Wu Was Right? on Apple Creating Cloud-Based Mac? · · Score: 1

    Exactly! Apple keeps forcing all those brainless hipsters, riding their penny farthing bikes to Starbucks, to buy all their overpriced, non-working crap. Is really, really sad.

    I thought all of her work could be sung to "The Yellow Rose of Texas".

    Just wait until Emma Watson hooks up with Matt Smith or Karen Gillian.

  21. Re:Depends on the task on When Smart People Make Bad Employees · · Score: 1

    I knew a lady at ARC (Association of Retarded Citizens) who had a job at a light bulb plant (back in the '70's, obviously, when we still made things in the U.S.) who packed bulbs in to those 4 packs, on a assembly line. I asked her if she got bored doing this: Oh no. I can pack them to the right [clockwise] or to the left or in a cross. Wow! She could stand there all day, just changing the basic pattern back and forth, and, while happy to get off work at end of day, did not mind her job.
