  1. NYT article on Google's Punishment? Lecture Those They Snooped On · · Score: 1

    From the New York Times article, "The applause was not universal, however. Consumer Watchdog, another privacy monitor and frequent Google critic, said that “asking Google to educate consumers about privacy is like asking the fox to teach the chickens how to ensure the security of their coop.”"

  2. Abysmal on RSF Names Names In Report On Online Spying · · Score: 1

    This is abysmal.

  3. Joke on Ohio Judge Rules Speed Cameras Are a Scam · · Score: 1

    I remember a stand-up comedian once saying that he'd received a ticket in the mail for $140 and a picture of himself speeding, so he took a photo of $140 and sent it back to them.

  4. Scoring Champ on Play Wii, Become a Better Surgeon · · Score: 5, Funny

    "I just wanted you to know before we put you under and I begin the surgery that I was the all-time champ in Super Mario World among my fellow students at Harvard Medical School. Rest assured."

  5. specs on HP Back In Tablet Game With Android-Based 'Slate7' · · Score: 1

    Nexus 7 specs look better, but it costs a little more. Annoying they didn't put a microSD card reader in the Nexus 7. The price and the MicroSD slot make this appealing to me.

  8. Vita on Official: Playstation 4 Will Play Used Games · · Score: 2

    What about the Vita model where only new games contain all the game content via online services and used games don't have access to it? I would expect Sony to do the same with the PS4.

  9. wheezy on Debian Project Releases 7.0 "Wheezy" Installer Candidate · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wheezy was George Jefferson's wife on the Jeffersons. This is an installer to install back episodes of the classic sitcom on your linux PC.

  10. Long term on Sony Announces the PS4 · · Score: 1

    Sony's long term strategy here is supposedly to provide games through their network. Maybe the hardware isn't as important anymore. But instead of playing games over Sony's insecure PSN network, why not drink a nice glass of water and go to the park.

  11. $10k on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With an Advanced Wi-Fi Leech? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Place $10,000 in a cedar box with an Eisenhower Silver dollar. Include a photo of the person in question. Mail to General Delivery Attention: Teddy New York, NY 10001 No bodies, no witnesses, no questions. We're offering 2 for 1 on contract this week, just include an additional photo.

  12. Windows 8 on NASA Loses Contact With Space Station Over Software Update · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually, it was just some confusion when someone right swiped on Windows 8. The Charms bar came up and then the weather app launched and nobody knew how to close either one.

  13. Cheap thanks to Open Source on £6700 Phone Uses Android Instead of Windows · · Score: 1

    And thanks to open source none of that $10,000 price is due to software licensing for Android.

  14. Hurry on Local Emergency Alert System Hacked, Warns Dead Rising From Graves · · Score: 4, Funny

    Gotta get to the shopping mall. Stop at the sporting goods store and pick up some weapons and ammo. The zombies will feast on the easier targets for 30 days or so.

  15. Break the internet on Researchers Devise New Attack Techniques Against SSL · · Score: 0

    Maybe they can break the internet (tee-hee hee). Maybe they can split it open, and make all the information inside it come tumbling, gushing out.

  16. NSA backdoor on US Wants Apple, Google, and Microsoft To Get a Grip On Mobile Privacy · · Score: 0

    We'd like you to put an NSA backdoor into your product, so that we can use our expanded powers under the Patriot Act to search through personal information.

  17. Hussy on Is Oprah Cheating On Her Microsoft Love? · · Score: 1

    Cheating on Surface!

  18. Won't work on China Blocks NYT Over Critical Article · · Score: 2

    I really doubt this will allow the Chinese government to keep this news under their hats.

  19. Re:XBOX Live Drone Strike on 72% of Xbox 360 Gamers Approve of "More Military Drone Strikes" · · Score: 1

    You have a point, but perhaps it is even more insensitive to any innocent bystanders who are dead now.

    What's that Flipper? Someone's in trouble on the other side of the bay?

  22. Legal? on Libertarian Candidate Excluded From Debate For Refusing Corporate Donations · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Will you make it legal for me to smoke crack and fire my 12 gague remmington shotgun through the sun roof of my car while I drive my automoblie free of government regulation?

  23. Chief Suspect on Halliburton's Missing Radioactive Cylinder Found · · Score: 2

    I suspect Jerry Jones. He probably heard he could use it to power the new big screen TV in Cowboys stadium. Radiation exposure explains the offense's play in last Monday night's game with the Bears.

  24. Fantasyland on The Case That Apple Should Buy Nokia · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I think I agree with the commentor on the Forbes site who put this squarely in the realm of fantasyland. Microsoft has already given Nokia $2 billion and Elop seems committed to Microsoft's camp. Aren't there other Maps providers on the internet that Apple could potentially partner with? Mapquest? Somebody?
