  1. Re:I felt a great disturbance in the Force... on Microsoft Reveals More Windows 8 Details · · Score: 3, Insightful

    MS did not decide that the desktop is no longer relevant. Apple did. MS, is as usual, following Apple's lead. (Witness Mission Control in Lion.)

  2. Re:I am ok with it almost... on EU Extends Music Copyright to 70 Years · · Score: 1

    Given the greed often exhibited by them? Yes, yes I do.

  3. Re:Keep Selling Windows 7 on Gut-Check Time For Windows 8, Microsoft · · Score: 1

    You must lead an exciting and ultimately self-destructive life. iPads in the doctor's office replaces paper and pens, not Unix workstations.

  4. Who cares? on Critic Pans Apple's New Campus As a Retrograde Cocoon · · Score: 4, Insightful

    People who have nothing better to do than criticize some company's proposed building needs to get a life.

  5. Re:Moral of the story.... on After Firing CEO, Yahoo Puts Itself Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    Yes, because the variable performance is earnings over expenses, not the stock price.

  6. Re:Yeah thanks..... on BMW Working On Laser Headlamps · · Score: 1

    I am not sure what kind of lamp my 2005 Mazda 3 has, but I bought the car new and I haven't had to replace either headlamp due to a burnout. (One was involved in a collision. I don't remember if it was replaced.)

  7. Re:Battle? on USPS Losing Battle Against the E-mail Age · · Score: 2

    The Australian Post sometimes delivers private contractors instead of junk?

    Where do I sign up?

    Or, it could be that you're a total moron.

    Just a mirror.

  9. Re:that guy should play poker on Steve Jobs, Before the iPad, On Why Tablets Suck · · Score: 1

    Both the iMac and the iPod existed prior to OS X.

  10. Re:that guy should play poker on Steve Jobs, Before the iPad, On Why Tablets Suck · · Score: 1

    I only see Apple advertising because I am a Mac and iOS user and developer. If I didn't have reason to browse Mac/Apple-related sites, I wouldn't see any advertising from Apple at all.

  11. Re:Then again... on Steve Jobs, Before the iPad, On Why Tablets Suck · · Score: 2

    I am listening to music on a 3 year old iPod Touch (first gen.), and it shows no signs of dying. Battery holds up, and there's not a single scratch on the screen. I use it all the time.

    Perhaps you or your acquaintances need to stop throwing stuff at walls.

  12. Re:It should be noted... on Solar Company Folds After $0.5B In Subsidies · · Score: 1

    He's a realist, not two-faced. (Well, not two-faced for this stance.) Coal works today. Solar may work some day in the (far, far) future.

  13. Re:FINALLY! on Is Tablet Success Bound To Their Crackability? · · Score: 1

    One, he's right. Two, a professional mechanic can afford all those fancy and expensive tools to work on any aspect of my car. It's a bit more work than running a script or program someone else wrote to root/jailbreak my device.

  14. Re:So hackers like it on Is Tablet Success Bound To Their Crackability? · · Score: 1

    I don't want, nor do I need, a cellphone. I don't carry one at all. On the other hand, I use my iPad all the time. Occasionally I even use it to make phone calls.

    Market Share is NOT Sales. You are a retarded shit.

  16. Re:back to the future on Windows 8 Desktop 'Just Another App'? · · Score: 1

    Just think where you might be if you had any intelligence.

  17. Re:Biggest tight wad of all time on A Look Back At the Career of Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    And perhaps you're intelligent. There's just as much evidence for that supposition as yours.

  18. Re:Biggest tight wad of all time on A Look Back At the Career of Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    And just because we've never seen any sign of intelligence from you doesn't mean that you don't have any...

  19. Re:Feel free to go any time you like. on A Look Back At the Career of Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    I call you a hater because you make up lies to support your statements.

    You are a hater. Not only that, you hate for no reason, which is the worst kind of hatred there can be.

  20. Re:Again Apples business on Apple's Chinese Suppliers Accused of Causing Significant Environmental Damage · · Score: 1

    Your logic is missing. If labor is a very small part of the total cost, Foxconn would be looking at something other than robots to reduce costs.

  21. Re:Paranoid and unfounded on Alloy Could Produce Hydrogen Fuel Using Sunlight · · Score: 1

    I'm not. Flammable, maybe, but I've lit gasoline before. It doesn't explode unless you try really hard. A whoopee cushion is more explosive in every day circumstances.

  22. Re:It's a shame... on Measles Resurgent Due To Fear of Vaccination · · Score: 1

    Not all cancers are fatal.

  23. It's a shame... on Measles Resurgent Due To Fear of Vaccination · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Unfortunately, it's not only those who refuse vaccination that end up at risk.

  24. Re:OMG get that giant cock out of your mouth, plea on US Gov't Lobbied EU To Approve Oracle-Sun Merger · · Score: 1

    You are a retarded and utterly moronic idiot.

    Sun was bankrupt. If no one had purchased the company, a heck of a lot more jobs would have been lost (read: all of them).

  25. Huh? on Only Idiots Don't Give Back To Free Software · · Score: 1

    I thought the benefit of Open Source was that the receiver can modify it.
