  1. What?!? on Free Apps Eat Your Smartphone Battery · · Score: 1

    You mean a extra program running to fetch ads over the internet takes more battery?!?
    Oh my, it's such a big surprise!!!
    Next you're going to tell me that turning up the brightness to max takes up more battery too!

  2. Re:Interesting. on Peoples' Immune Systems Can Now Be Duplicated In Mice · · Score: 1

    If you butter the popcorn it may work, depending on the activist.

  3. Interesting. on Peoples' Immune Systems Can Now Be Duplicated In Mice · · Score: 2

    This is a very interesting concept, too bad every animal rights group will throw a fit.

  4. People do whatever is easiest to be heard. on From Anonymous To Shuttered Websites, the Evolution of Online Protest · · Score: 2

    Before, the easiest way to be heard was to walk outside and start screaming with signs.
    With the arrival of the internet, it's much easier to have your voice heard, so many of the screams and signs have been digitized.

  5. Caring = 0 on RDP Proof-of-Concept Exploit Triggers Blue Screen of Death · · Score: -1, Troll

    Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

    Update. I have no sympathy for people using 10+ year old operating systems.

  6. ...huh? on Bring Back the 40-Hour Work Week · · Score: 0

    Where in this magical world do you have the problem of too much overtime?
    Most everywhere I look, I see people getting shafted with 20- hours, not 40+.

  7. Re:What's the point? on Scientists Work Towards Naturally Caffeine-Free Coffee · · Score: 1

    I like this point, thank you for your comment.

  8. Funny... on Stolen iPad's Reported Location Not Enough To Warrant Search, Say Dutch Police · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...they seemed to think it was enough when the iPhone 4 prototype was stolen.

  9. What's the point? on Scientists Work Towards Naturally Caffeine-Free Coffee · · Score: 1

    Coffee tastes like shit, most people i know flood it with milk (or my boss with water) before they can even attempt to drink it.
    And too my knowledge, there's 2 (main ones, I guess a third is some people legitimately enjoy it) reasons to drink coffee:

    1. For the caffeine, because ya know, they need the energy. Or
    2. Because it's socially acceptable, to fit in and what not. My coworkers all think I'm weird because if I need the caffeine in the morning, I drink a coke.

    Taking out 1 of the 2 reasons to drink the shit isn't really going to do anyone any favors.

  10. Re:Well... on Yahoo's Own Lash Out At Company Over "Weaponized" Patents · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah! Google would bid $1.25 and a double cheeseburger.

  11. Well... on Yahoo's Own Lash Out At Company Over "Weaponized" Patents · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because if Yahoo collects, say, $50 billion from Facebook and forces the social networking company out of business, consumers will revolt and demand patent reform.

    As awesome as this fantasy scenario that takes out 2 birds with one stone sounds, lets be honest, it's just that. A fantasy.
    Facebook isn't going to crumble any time soon, unfortunately.

  12. AHAHAH. on Interview With Suren Ter From 'You Have Downloaded' · · Score: 1
    So, I'm connecting from a corporate computer, I was curious, so I looked to see what it said.

    Ahahaha, looks like someone wasn't quite working that day.

  13. This is the world we live in. on AT&T Threatens To Shut Off Service of Customer Who Won Throttling Case · · Score: 2

    And it's nuts.
    A company should be on their knees begging customers for business. Customers are the lifeblood for a company.
    Ahh, but I suppose I'm just too old fashioned for this world...

  14. This just in! on The Consoles Are Dying, Says Developer · · Score: 1

    Developer couldn't sell his crappy games, says consoles.

  15. Re:The Punchline on James Whittaker: Focus on Ads and 'Social' Destroying Google · · Score: 1

    Huh, good point.
    Thanks for clearing that up for me!

  16. The Punchline on James Whittaker: Focus on Ads and 'Social' Destroying Google · · Score: 1

    Whittaker explained why he left Google: 'The Google I was passionate about,' Whittaker writes, 'was a technology company that empowered its employees to innovate.

    Whittaker rejoined Microsoft.

    I'm not trying to discredit anything he's said, but how is Microsoft better than Google? (or vice versa?)
    You just switched from one corporate entity to another :/

  17. Shooting themselve in the leg. on Mozilla Debates Supporting H.264 In Firefox Via System Codecs · · Score: 1

    Because they ran out of foot to shoot.
    Good grief, seems there can't be a single good article about Mozilla as of late.

  18. His mother put it well. on TVShack Creator's US Extradition Approved · · Score: 4, Insightful

    On Tuesday his mother said: "Today, yet another British citizen is being sold down the river by the British Government.

    Dear British government: Please grow a pair and tell the US to fuck off.

  19. Re:I bought an iPad! on New 'Enemies of the Internet' Listed In Reporters Without Borders Study · · Score: 2

    An iPad? Pfff, that's so last hour. The iPad 45 came out a few minutes ago.

  20. Android's biggest weakness. on Battleheart Developer Drops Android As 'Unsustainable' · · Score: 1

    Go to any android store app (or...play now, or whatever. I liked the old icon better), and read the comments. They're almost always "I have issue X on phone Y"

  21. Pokemon? on Classic Nintendo Games Are NP-Hard · · Score: 1

    Oh please, all you had to do was grind. That wasn't hard in the slightest.

  22. No such thing as wasted projects on Google 'Wasting' $16 Billion On Projects Headed Nowhere · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In my eyes, at least, projects are ways to find something that works.
    Finding that something doesn't work doesn't equate to wasted money/time.
    I believe Edison said something similar about how many times his lightbulb failed.

  23. Windows 8 and OSx Lion both suck... on Can Microsoft Afford To Lose With Windows 8? · · Score: 1

    ...and for the same reason.
    If I sit down at a computer, I don't want to be given a phone/tablet interface.

  24. I'll be honest. on Apple Unveils New iPad · · Score: 0

    From the summary alone, it sounds interesting. There's still one huge, giant problem with it.
    It's an Apple product, I'm more of an Orange guy.

  25. Multiple personalities. on Man Barred From Being Alone With Daughter After Informing Police of Porn On PC · · Score: 1

    Clearly, his other self downloaded it.
