  1. Yep. on Game Review: Street Fighter X Mega Man · · Score: 1

    The only two pitfalls I found in this game were the lack of saving of any sort and that the levels were a little on the easy side in comparison to older mega man games.
    Still a fantastic game though, and while they didn't participate in it's creation at all, I'm still glad capcom gave them a thumbs up by hosting the files.

  2. Is this really a surprise? on SSD Prices Continue 3-Year Plunge · · Score: 1

    Look, I know there's some exceptions, but for the most part when a product is made by more than one company, the price is slowly lowered as they try to outsell each other.

  3. Oh my god. on Will Tablets Kill Off e-Readers? · · Score: 1

    I'm so sick of these "Will technology X die because of technology Y?!?" stories, the answer is almost always the same.
    NO.

  4. I need new glasses. on Humans Have Been Eating Cheese For At Least 7,500 Years · · Score: 1

    I read this as "humans have been eating chinese"

  5. Re:How odd. on IE Flaw Lets Sites Track Your Mouse Cursor, Even When You Aren't Browsing · · Score: 1
    Not the link you provided, but this tidbit in the summary:

    track your mouse cursor anywhere on the screen, even if the browser isn't being actively used.

    I always have IE up due to the fact it's the only browser that works with my sign in/out webpage for work.
    Even still, I don't see it working unless I pull it up actively in IE.

  6. This should NOT be the case. on US House Votes 397-0 To Oppose UN Control of the Internet · · Score: 2

    who were quite proud of themselves for actually getting bipartisan support for the resolution

    Our lawmakers should be working together on everything, and the fact that they're proud of themselves for doing the job we pay them to do on a single issue shows just how messed up our system is.

  7. I needed a good laugh this morning, thank you /.

  8. Also keep in mind... on A Brain-Based Explanation For Why Old People Get Scammed · · Score: 1

    ...these are the same people who used to see deals on infomercials and think they had to buy it right then and there.

  9. Oh yeah, that'll work. on Microsoft Steeply Raising Enterprise Licensing Fees · · Score: 1

    "Hey guys, I got a great idea, lets up the costs so more businesses won't want to switch to up!"
    God forbid they /lower/ the prices of the new shit so people have an actual reason to switch other than "OH LOOK, SHINY AND NEW!"

  10. Oh my god on Apple Patents Wireless Charging · · Score: 1

    Can we please stop giving apple patents to things that have long since existed?
    Whoever is working the patent offices that keeps giving Apple the OK needs to be fired. Now.

  11. Of course that's their response. on Iran Claims To Have Downed Another US Drone · · Score: 1

    I'd honestly be more concerned if they actually admitted to missing one.

  12. I guess we'll see on Do Recreational Drugs Help Programmers? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Voters in both Washington and Colorado approved referenda that legalized marijuana for recreational use

    Valve Corporation is an American video game development and digital distribution company based in Bellevue, Washington, United States.

    If HL2:EP3 finally comes out, I guess we'll know what to thank.

  13. I wonder if France realizes if they do this, Google will just pull french news sources from their site.
    It's a Lose/Lose situation, Google has less news, these french sites get significantly less traffic.
    Sure they might be complaining they don't get much, but i can guaran-fucking-tee you they'll get less without Google.

  14. Re:Still has the same problem as the 3DS on Nintendo's Wii U Will Be Sold At a Loss · · Score: 1

    Huh, my cousins had a saturn, never knew it had that kind of history behind it.
    Learn something new every day.

  15. Re:Still has the same problem as the 3DS on Nintendo's Wii U Will Be Sold At a Loss · · Score: 1

    Hah! Oh man, forgot about that one, I try to block that out of my mind.

  16. Still has the same problem as the 3DS on Nintendo's Wii U Will Be Sold At a Loss · · Score: 1

    The 3DS was by far the worst console launch by Nintendo, possibly even of all game consoles.
    The release titles were disappointing, the follow ups mostly so, and they were quick to release a second version (the 3DS XL).

    I have a feeling we're going to see something similar with the Wii-U, as it's already doing the first part (horrible launch titles).
    I used to be a huge Nintendo fanboy growing up, but as of late, Nintendo seems to have forgotten why we were all fans in the first place.

  17. Well duh. on Inside Social Media's Fake Fan Industry · · Score: 1

    Clearly he bought on the low end, realistic fakes cost extra.

  18. 1. Twilight is considered a great book/movie by many.
    2. People like Charlie Sheen and Kim Kardashian are considered celebrities.
    3. People like Mitt Romney are serious contenders to be President of the United States, and people actually think he's a good candidate.
    4. Sports are over glorified and players are often paid millions of dollars, but those teaching our kids to create a brighter tomorrow work for peanuts.

  19. Does this really shock anyone? on User Tracking Back On iOS 6 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tech companies as a whole value your privacy almost as much as a fat kid values vegetables.

  20. Why are we still noting these? on Paypal Slips 'No Class Action' Clause Into Policy Update · · Score: 1

    As it was pointed out several times when Sony pulled this crap, EULAs < Law.
    The problem is not these EULAs, but the fact that regardless when you go to court, he with the more money wins.
    Guess what? The one with the more money is pretty much always going to be paypal.

  21. Well then... on Verizon Draws Fire For Monitoring App Usage, Browsing Habits · · Score: 1

    ...good thing I no longer use their image.
    I'm sure they're still monitoring my data, but I doubt cyanogenmod sends them info on my app usage.
    I just wish the CM team would make an INC 2 image past 7. Despite the fact their news posts claim they support it, I've yet to see one.
    I've tried the unofficial builds but they haven't played well with my phone, the last one i tried sent my battery into overdrive.

  22. Just imagine... on Microsoft Sues Motorola Over Mapping Patents · · Score: 1

    ...if every single patent lawsuit regarding mobile phones was thrown out.
    Imagine how much better the phone in your pocket would be if companies were forced to actually make efforts to improve their phone instead of worsening the competition.
    Fuck all of you companies who hire more lawyers than employees.

  23. So... on Canadian Spying Case Proves Floppy Drive Isn't Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    Because the floppy drive was used once, suddenly it's not a dead technology?

  24. Re:PC will be integrated with screens on Will the Desktop PC Live Forever? · · Score: 1

    This is already being done by several companies, it's commonly called an "all-in-one PC"

  25. No shit. on Will the Desktop PC Live Forever? · · Score: 1

    I've lost count of how many "PC IS DEAD, LONG LIVE MOBILE!" arguments I've heard, or if you want to go further back "PC IS DEAD, LONG LIVE PDAS!"

    The PC is here to stay, gimmicky toys are not.
