  1. You know what surprises me? on iPhone Tracking Ruckus Ongoing · · Score: 4, Funny

    That people are surprised by this.

  2. That's great. on Steve Jobs: 'We Don't Track Anyone' · · Score: 1

    I'm sure Anyone is relieved, and he can use his apple devices without worry, but what about the rest of us?

  3. "Cloud" is just bad. on What Happens To Data When a Cloud Provider Dies? · · Score: 1

    Especially with the increasing ISP costs/bandwidth caps, no freaking thank you. I'd prefer to pull my data from a hard/external drive without my ISP eyeballing/charging me for it. And hey, then I don't have to worry about CloudCompanyA going out of business.

  4. Typical America on Semengate Strikes the American College of Surgeons · · Score: 1

    This isn't the truth I want people to know, lets get this guy fired!

  5. Wanting? Hardly. on Razer Hydra Brings Motion Control To PC Gamers · · Score: 1

    "PC gamers have been left wanting."

    The only thing I want is a mouse that doesn't agitate my wrist with prolonged use. Motion controls tend to agitate my wrist more so than conventional controllers.

  6. Title got my hopes up. on Computer Opens Unmanned Store For Holiday · · Score: 1

    I thought this was going to be a story about a grand opening of a store that is completely computer run.

  7. Eh. on Parasite Dieting Fad Sweeps Across Asia · · Score: 1

    I don't see it as any different than these diet pills in the states. Both are killing people and they know it, but they don't care if there's a chance to lose weight.

  8. Re:Change by charging to use the PSN you idiots!!! on Sony Rebuilding PlayStation Network Security After Attack · · Score: 1

    ...do you seriously believe a paywall is going to stop people who want to break in? Please...

    "Sony there is no hacking & cheating on XBL not that I have seen any as of yet"
    I've heard/seen plenty of it, get your head out of the sand.

  9. You know... on Bizarre Porn Raid Underscores Wi-Fi Privacy Risks · · Score: 1

    ...the guy who /actually/ downloaded it, is laughing his ass off right about now.

  10. Incorrect summary. on Man Tries to Rob Store With Game Controller · · Score: 1

    "Pittman was suspected in an earlier robbery at a Subway restaurant."
    "Sun Food Store on 62nd Avenue S" is what he tried to rob with the game controller, article doesn't say what he robbed the subway with.
    Come on, the article is about 10 lines, you couldn't even get that right?

  11. What bothers me... on Sony Rebuilding PlayStation Network Security After Attack · · Score: 1

    ...is the fact that I can't transfer a game I had bought right before the shutdown to my PSP, because I'm not signed into the account that bought it.
    I really wish they would at least put out a dummy sign in of some sort so I could have some control over the content I paid for |:

  12. Please make this date come sooner... on Microsoft Counts Down To XP Death · · Score: 0

    I'm sick and bloody tired of jumping through hoops for people because they refuse to upgrade their systems...

  13. I'm really getting sick of this arguement. on Dollar Apps Killing Traditional Gaming? · · Score: 1

    I buy a $1 game to amuse me during lulls at work.
    I buy a $60 game to amuse me at home/weekends during my free time.

    I am NEVER going to replace one with the other.

  14. Cost. on Why Has Blu-ray Failed To Catch Hold? · · Score: 1

    If a blu-ray player wasn't built into my ps3, I'd never touch the things. I still usually only buy DVD, all the blu ray discs I have are gifts from family that know I have one.
    It's all about costs, DVDs are cheaper, and in an economy where every dollar counts, guess which one I'm going to buy if I feel I have to buy one?

  15. Of course. on America's Tech Decline: a Reading Guide · · Score: 2

    Our current school system discredits creativity, and forces everyone into the same mold. Arguably, this mold is 100% useless in the real world, especially in a world that requires any innovation.

  16. Re:Simple Solution on US Police Increasingly Peeping At Email, IMs · · Score: 1

    "not a complete solution"

    Nor is it a realistic solution for most of the world.

  17. Hm. on US Police Increasingly Peeping At Email, IMs · · Score: 1

    "there's no US federal law that requires the reporting of requests for stored communications data"

    This is the only problem I have with this. If they want to look through my logs, fine, but I want to know what they're looking at and why.
    And while I don't expect it in a million years, it would also be nice to have the power to tell them to fuck off if I don't want them looking

  18. Interesting. on Third Humble Bundle Arrives, 'Frozenbyte' Edition · · Score: 0

    According to the stats, Windows users tend to pay slightly less than Mac users, and half of what linux users pay.
    I expected Mac users to pay a lot more than either, since they're used to paying far more for something than it's actually worth.

  19. Good grief on Sony's Case Against Geohot Has Been Settled · · Score: 1

    Read through the posts on that link, it's disgusting how little they actually understand about the suit.
    I could probably be pegged as a sony fanboy, but even I'm not that bloody stupid, what does that make these people?

  20. Re:Co-op? on Gearbox Boss Bemoans Superfluous Multiplayer Modes · · Score: 1

    GTA IV
    Saints Row 2

    Many LOLs were had.

  21. This is a bad thing? on US Students Suffering From Internet Addiction · · Score: 1

    "Students in the Maryland study also showed no loyalty to news programs, a news personality or news platform."

    So, students are actually taking news from sources on all sides and making a decision from themselves? How is this a bad thing?

  22. I would love one of these. on Tobii Releases Eye-Controlled Mouse For PCs · · Score: 1

    I've had issues with my wrist for a few years.
    The thought of being able to work/play grindy mmos without having to agitate my wrist sounds wonderful. (But bad too, because I might get addicted again)
    $7k is absolutely unreasonable though, hopefully in a few years and with a competitor or two it'll drop down to something your average guy can buy.

  23. Re:I don't know what amuses me more. on Man Hacks Machete · · Score: 1

    Ahh, thank you for the correction then.

  24. What's wrong with our leaders? on Congressman Wants YouTube Video Covered Up · · Score: 1

    Struggling on almost a 200k salary? That's pretty sad.
    I'll tell you what, lets switch salaries, then you can call that struggling.

  25. WROOOOOOOOOONNNGGG on Google Is Introducing the +1 Button · · Score: 1

    I'm going to picture Lex Luthor screaming that every time I press this +1 button now.
