  1. Re:Nothing will change. on Customer Asks For Itemized Bill, Verizon Tells Her To Get a Subpoena · · Score: 1

    Not like moving to either place is any better. There's a reason that Great Britain is also called the Nanny State.

  2. Bloatware on Motorola CEO Blames Open Android Store For Phone Performance Ills · · Score: 2

    And how many of those "problem" applications were malware, badly written, or just the bloatware pre-installed on the phone from the carrier?

  3. Re:3.99 are you out of your mind? on Rooted Devices Blocked From Android Movie Market · · Score: 3, Informative

    Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150, there's2 different modified versions of the Netflix.apk which people have reported success with. Root not required.

  4. Re:So? on Old Media Says Google Will Destroy Film & Music · · Score: 1

    Actually, considering horses still wear horseshoes, a farrier is still needed. They're just not in demand by Joe Q. Public is all. Kinda like blacksmiths are still around, just not as many.

  5. Re:Old news? on Google Releases Stable Version of Chrome 10 · · Score: 1

    Which channel are you running? My installed version using the stable channel is getting updated as we speak, while my install on the dev channel (different computer) has indeed been running version 10 for some time.

  6. Re:Que the "Can you hear me now" jokes on Verizon Drops 10,000 911 Calls During Blizzard · · Score: 1

    However, nothing in the article mentions anything about power going out, let alone natural gas lines that could also power furnaces. Just that 10k people called 911 during a snowstorm and Verizon's network couldn't handle it. However, could the 911 network have handled that many people calling in?

  7. Typos on Motorola's XOOM Tablet To Cost $799; Wi-Fi Requires 3G Activation? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Considering the number of typos in the ad itself (octivative or activative), I'll wait until an official announcement of the price (or until it starts selling).

  8. Re:Inevitability on Last.FM To Require Subscription For Mobiles and Home Devices · · Score: 1

    *psst* Check out audiogalaxy, free to stream from your own collection. I've stopped listening to the streaming radio apps anyways, mostly because my own tastes are rather eccentric. Plus, listening to music I know I'll like rather than having to skip or downrank a song when in the middle of a task is a bonus.

  9. Re:Here is the conflict on Apple Pulls VLC Media Player From AppStore · · Score: 1

    From my understanding (Android user here), I thought all iOS apps had to be gotten through the App Store unless the user jailbroke their device.

  10. Re:Sad on Yahoo! To Close Delicious · · Score: 1

    Oh, and adding that I used Xmarks back when it was known as Foxmarks and even during when it changed names and had sync profiles set up with it. Those managed to cross over at some point and it was rather a pain to fix. That was before I had put pretty much all my bookmarks online, so it'd be a larger pain now.

  11. Re:Sad on Yahoo! To Close Delicious · · Score: 1

    The Chrome bookmark sync requires that you use the same Google account to do so, which is exactly what I don't want (no need for my personal bookmarks to be at work). It is a feature I make use of to allow multiple computers stay in sync, but I specifically want the ability to be at work, click on a button in my toolbar and bookmark a site in such a way that it'd show up on my personal computer where my start page extension's "recent bookmarks" would show it. Somehow I guess that is something that not many want and something I fell in love with when switching to Chrome from Firefox (and installing the Delicious extensions in Chrome).

  12. Re:Sad on Yahoo! To Close Delicious · · Score: 1

    But yet (and here's the kicker for me), you can't synchronize Google Bookmarks with say Chrome's bookmarks. And I can't find any bookmarking tool accessible from multiple computers (and with multiple Google accounts if thats what it uses for authentication) that would synchronize "cloud" with my Chrome bookmarks so that they'd show up in the omnibar without me needing to do a specific keyword search. Delicious allowed that (or at least there was a Delicious extension that enabled the feature).

  13. Re:Confiscations on US Trials Off Track Over Juror Internet Misconduct · · Score: 1

    That is what the judge's instructions are for, not random searches that may or may not bring up the proper legal definition.

  14. Re:Steal the market? on Why Tablets Haven't Taken Off In Business · · Score: 1
  15. Leapfrog on Thought-Provoking Gifts For Young Kids? · · Score: 1

    My niece (turning 6 next month) had an issue with sitting still in pre-school and we got her some of those Leapfrog things. She's learning (and also learning to sit still) and is still entertained enough to handle long car rides without whining. It was so popular her mom buys her other items for the system as well. Our plan this year is to send her a gift card and let her figure out what she wants to buy herself, so she can start to learn the value of money/budget and still get the reward of whatever she's purchased.
