  1. Re:Is this for the Sheeple who... on Practical "Smell-o-Vision" System Being Developed · · Score: 1

    Well, it's an absolutely killer idea if you want to watch Food Network... other than that, I got nothing. But just thinking about watching Iron Chef America with smell is making my mouth water.

  2. Re:Former Employee Has Chip on Shoulder... on Ex-Google Engineer Blasts Google's Technology · · Score: 1

    Probably angsty nobody +1'd his baby.

    FTFY

  4. Re:| Dream on Valve's Newell: One-Price-For-Everyone Business Model 'Broken' · · Score: 1

    If you use phrases like "alfalfa gorging sheep" in everyday conversation, I think a virtual swear jar is the least of your concerns.

  5. Re:A reasonable stance on DHS Wants Mozilla To Disable Mafiaafire Plugin, Mozilla Resists · · Score: 1

    this is one of the many reasons why you should use Mozilla's Firefox than Google's Chrome

    There's a Chrome plugin too; maybe the lesson is to not use IE or Safari.

    The point of his comparison has nothing to do with the plugin or its availability.

    Someone, probably far less effective, will take his place

    You think he gave somebody his credit card?

    Maybe he was on PSN...

  8. Re:I wonder how many gigs of ram I'll need on Firefox 5 Scheduled For June 21 Release · · Score: 1

    Give Pale Moon a try (http://www.palemoon.org/). It's a fork that's basically like an optimized Firefox (note: only for Windows). I only found it a couple days ago but so far it seems to be a lot better with memory than Firefox 4.

  9. Re:Super 8 on Potentially Great Sci-fi Films Still Due In 2011 · · Score: 1

    If you watch the trailer, it does give off a very strong E.T. vibe. Basically E.T. if E.T. was a scary badass alien instead of harmless and innocent.

  10. Re:Kitsch art is not bad art on Revisiting Ebert — Games Can Be Art, But Are They? · · Score: 1

    in the words of my favorite giant "I do not think that word means what you think it means".

    I do not think that giant said what you think he said.

  11. Re:innovation? on Black Eyed Peas Member Joins Intel As Director · · Score: 1

    Why do you call him un-innovative? Just because you don't like their computerized music?

    I don't have any of their albums, but they've produced a lot of fun singles over the last ten years. Last year they had the #1 single in the USA (Boom Boom Pow) and #3 in Europe's 2010 chart (Meet Me Halfway). Both good songs.

    Just because they're popular doesn't make them innovative or good. Actually I've always found will.i.am's music to be very frustrating. He occasionally comes out with good songs that have actual substance such as "Where Is The Love" or "A Dream" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBa55sDTIiA). Then he turns around and gives us some mindnumbingly banal song like "My Humps".

  12. Re:coming soon iLeaks on OpenLeaks — 'A New WikiLeaks' · · Score: 1

    Not nearly as irritating as every minorly scandalous event being suffixed with "-gate". I hope in the future there's a huge scandal involving an actual gate somehow, and reporters will have no idea what catchy name to give to it. Or maybe they'll just force "Gategate" down our throats anyway.

  13. Re:Announce an Announcement... on NASA Confirms Discovery of Organism With Phosphorus-Free DNA · · Score: 1

    NASA has really started to irritate me, with their latest few announcements. Rather than just issuing the data and having a little show about its implications in NASA TV, they first make an announcement that they will make an announcement, then for a few weeks there is rampant speculation (even though it's entirely probable that the data is ready) and finally they make their announcement in a media-circus style event.

    They probably hired a PR manager who used to work at Apple.

    Or Wikileaks...
