  1. viable alternatives? on Kenya Seeks Nuclear Power Infrastructure · · Score: 1, Interesting

    With sunshine and 30C+ temperatures throughout the year, can they resort to a faster solution of power generation with solar-energy based alternatives?
    Thats', of course, after they fail to find any fossil fuels in their compund..

  2. I don't give a rats' ass on Mouse Sperm Cells Grown In Vitro · · Score: 1

    but rather rats' balls..

    btw, your balls are going to feel the same pain when kicked.

  3. Disclaimer: Not Trolling on Latest From Second Life Creator: Crowdsourcing Small Jobs · · Score: 1

    It nice to know about a me-too crowd-sourcing concept (Fiverr, Zaarly etc) but it looks like an unwanted commercial in between those tech posts.

    Or its just me!

  5. Re:In other words ... on Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab Won't Get Android 4.0 · · Score: 1

    As you said, it is clearly a marketing ploy to get Galaxy S people onto their Galaxy S2 phones for which they confirmed an ICS update last week.

    But after a couple of years, I think it is okay to change to a powerful, slimmer, handsome phone.

  6. Redundancy on Hard Drive Prices Slide As Thai Flood Aftermath Subsides · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This news reveals an important piece: The is no real redundancy in the suppliers when in comes to important parts of todays' devices. I often see* that the hard disk array suppliers keep buying them from a couple of asian outfits thinking they will be safe hands. But the asian hardware vendors themselves buy/order from the same manufacturer of platters/board/NAND creating a single point of failure scenario.

    There should be a clear visibility of the supply chain of not just the end/whole product but also the key components of it. In another story, heard that shipping of Sonys' SEL50F18 lenses for NEX cameras are pushed to Mar'12 after users payed for it, for the same reason.

    * working for a big storage co.

    PS: Misread Flood as Food.

  7. Please on Android Update Alliance Already Struggling · · Score: 0

    dont start posts saying "the main problem is.."
    because there is no problem. You wouldn;'t be that surprised
    about the 'delays' when you know how much time it takes before
    any product reaches it final consumers when multiple components are
    involved in the supply chain. The problem is with the everyone setting unrealistic
    expectations comparing with Apple. Google releasing the OS is equivalent to NVIDIA/Intel
    saying on its website about their newest processor - which you wont be finding in your
    laptop/phone until a year later.

    Dont worry about people born after 1990 not knowing of American made things.
    The wars it is making are proving your point and especially people in so called shitty foreign places are experiencing to the fullest.

  13. Re:Idiots on The Rise of Developeronomics · · Score: 0

    A "talented" coder is like a UFO. Everyone talks about them. Some of them say the place in the other business park has one. But no one's really sure what one looks like, or how to tell if one's real when it comes time to interview people for a position.

    Agree with this. 45 mins each with 4 strangers can be a better model for identifying talent in pros other than coders.

    Have you heard of open source software? Nothing ever gets done because they keep "forking" things when they have their own ideas!

    Disagree with this. Freedom in OSS lets you come up with innovation beyond deadlines, budgets, managers. Its not fast, but evolution wasn't either.

  21. Computer? on Computer-Controlled Cyborg Yeast · · Score: 0

    This sounds like a cool automation that might save many hours of dealing with growing-testing-discarding cycles in bio-labs. One gripe is about the repeated usage of 'computer' as the one doing it - giving the details about the sensors - photo/chemical - would be more informative to the technical folks at /.
