  1. No wonder on Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn Resigns After $1.7 Billion Loss · · Score: 1

    I'd rather purchase my electronics from that charming gentleman who walked up to me at the gas station than purchase something from Best Buy. He mostly likely has better selection and better prices if you can just overlook the fact that the box may just contain a brick or that the camera he's selling already has pictures of someone else's family on it.

  2. Re:goo-goo-googly eyes? on Google Glasses Announced · · Score: 1

    No worries, Apple already has this item. It just takes a little work. I built a box out of 5 iPads and wear it like a helmet. Just a little duct tape (Apple brand, of course - $120 per roll in you local Apple store) on the edges and you are set.

  3. Wow on Google Glasses Announced · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I thought bluetooth headsets enabled people to be oblivious a-holes, but wait till this gets in the hands of the masses.

  4. Re:Not a flying car on Flying Car Makes Successful Maiden Flight · · Score: 2

    All my research in police buddy comedy movies and CSI derivatives, this is remarkably common, happening once or twice a week. And when put in order of frequency of police events, it falls between hanging out of a broken window of a skyscraper and chasing a bad guy(s) in a swampboat.

  5. Burying the Lead on Japanese Court Orders Google To Turn Off Auto-Complete Function · · Score: 1

    What sort of crazy porn do you have to search for in Japan to raise an eyebrow?

  6. Re:DNA testing for fish? on Battling Fish Fraud With DNA Testing · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ugh.

    You know they never tell you about the downside of being literate. You just have to find out by reading a joke like that.

  7. Got a laugh from the video on Amiga Returns With Lackluster Linux-Powered Mini PC · · Score: 1

    Some of tasks that they we're promoting are and have been standard computer fair for 10+ years. "Work, Search Internet, Edit Sound, Create Graphics"

    And I think I would have said "Search the Internet" if possible, that sounds too much like my parents asking "Can this computer do Internet?"

  8. Re:Look it's Malibu Stacy. on Apple Unveils New iPad · · Score: 1

    Funny, all that stuff you listed sounds like a incremental upgrade to an existing product. Yet, Apple was promoting this announcement with more hype than a movie trailer for a summer blockbuster. It had all of the Apple worshiping people I know preparing a blank check and gathering camping supplies to haul to the nearest Apple store. It just shows one of Apple's real strengths, marketing.

  9. Re:obligatory... on Mastering Engineer Explains Types of Compression, Effects On Today's Music · · Score: 3, Informative

    Please sir, I only use knobs made from the finest of unicorn horn. It may have cost several million dollars but once you hear the warmth on the midrange of the complete catalog of Right Said Fred you'll understand why.

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

    Maybe this is the real goal of Yahoo. To force someone to buy them and maximize their cheeseburger multiplier.

  11. Re:Not to take anything away from the Big E... on USS Enterprise Takes Its Final Voyage · · Score: 1

    Thanks Kanye. Now, can the Enterprise have the microphone back?

  12. Look it's Malibu Stacy. on Apple Unveils New iPad · · Score: 4, Funny

    but she's got a new hat

  13. Re:COLE STRYKER!?!?!?! on Vatican Attack Provides Insight Into Anonymous · · Score: 1

    Leading a secret military force against the world's most evil organizations doesn't pay the bill like it did in the past. He's had to return to his first love, writing to make end's meet.

  14. Re:Obviously on Police Find Apple Branded Stoves In China · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is supposedly going to release a hair-dryer-chair for beauty salons powered by Ballmer's fumes.

    Because it's worked wonders for his hair

  15. How can anyone be so dumb? on Police Find Apple Branded Stoves In China · · Score: 4, Funny

    Morons!

    --Sent from my Maytag phone

  16. Re:I sold my Apple stock in 2005 on Apple Has Too Much Money · · Score: 1

    "I thought I was a genius for doubling my money."

    Sigh. Me too. Instead I have a PowerMac that effectively cost me a quarter of a million dollars.

    A.

    And that was just the list price, think of all the money you lost on the stock.

  17. Re:Monster Cables on Faulty Cable To Blame For Superluminal Neutrino Results · · Score: 1

    I hope you didn't use those cables right out of the package. Surely, you had them properly burned them in before you connected them. If not, you're are sacrificing the warmth of your low end.

  18. I think Space Mutiny had it correct on Ask Slashdot: What Would Real Space Combat Look Like? · · Score: 1

    It will surely look like this

  19. Intermediate People's Court? on Chinese Court Orders Ban On Apple's iPad · · Score: 1

    Don't worry Judge Wapner will over turn this in the Supreme People's Court.

  20. Are you dead yet? on Pentagon To Crowdsource Weapons Software Testing · · Score: 1

    Nope? Ok, wait for the next code release.

  21. The worst possible outcome on New Mexico Is Stretching, GPS Reveals · · Score: 1

    is this will trigger another terrible Roland Emmerich disaster movie.

  22. Can't wait until the first meeting... on The Coming Tech Battle Over 'Smart TVs' · · Score: 1

    when I walk in with my 42 inch tablet.

  23. Re:I'm honestly confused... on LG To Pay Licensing Fees To Microsoft For Using Android · · Score: 1

    The difference is in the number of lawyers involved.

  24. Party time on Leap Second Coming In June, 2012 · · Score: 1

    Yes!! An extra second for drinking.

  25. Re:Footage of Kim on Kim Jong-Il Was an "Internet Expert" · · Score: 1
