  1. Re:Don't single out Apple on Victory For Apple In "Patent Trial of the Century," To the Tune of $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    Why not single out Apple, the once-creative company that now wants to be a twisted old wreck like HP or Microsoft.

  2. Re:Chump change on Victory For Apple In "Patent Trial of the Century," To the Tune of $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    this is chump change to them, maybe a 10% reduction on the bottom line earnings from those phones.

    True, however it is money that out-of-new-ideas troll Apple does not deserve, and it makes me ashamed of the US legal system.

  3. If Lucy Koh's decisions are in fact found to have biased the case then Samsung has excellent grounds for appeal. I do recall a number of examples of blatantly unfair rulings, which among other things kept a significant amount of evidence Samsung wanted to present out of court.

  4. Re:No matter what the outcome actually is.... on Victory For Apple In "Patent Trial of the Century," To the Tune of $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    The only thing worse than a soulless money grubbing lawyer is a crooked, er sorry, biased judge.

  5. Re:Is it that accurate? on Old Cars Are Getting Ahead With New Tech · · Score: 1

    Yes, it was the differential GPS I was referring to.

  6. Re:iPods in clunkers. on Old Cars Are Getting Ahead With New Tech · · Score: 2

    All over the place, I see piece of shit cars driving around with their owners/drivers listening to their iPods using the earphones. These reckless drivers are oblivious to other drivers on the road, which is fine by them because they don't care if their peice of shit gets in an accident.

    Agreed, it's hard to get worked up about losing an iPod.

  7. Re:Is it that accurate? on Old Cars Are Getting Ahead With New Tech · · Score: 1

    Back in 2000 Clinton allow improved civilian GPS.

    After the scrambling was cracked by enthusiasts IIRC.

  8. Re:Err on CPUs Do Affect Gaming Performance, After All · · Score: 1

    Oh, and if you want to talk about terrible, Intel's Atom is terrible. I regret wasting any money at all on those brain challenged, hot running turds. The Atom fiasco singlehandedly killed off the pretty much the entire netbook market.

  9. Re:Err on CPUs Do Affect Gaming Performance, After All · · Score: 1

    What this tells us is that AMD processors are terrible for gaming

    No, it tells us that AMD processors are a little worse for gaming, not "terrible". On the other hand, if more cores matter to you, and they do to me, AMD still looks like good bang for the buck.

  10. Re:It's not all graphics on CPUs Do Affect Gaming Performance, After All · · Score: 1

    I've stuck with the Phenoms because you get great bang for the buck and because it was obvious the "half core' design of BD was crap, now we have it in B&W

    You've got it in black and white from an unreliable, fluffy article that looks more like a troll to me.

  11. Proves nothing about awareness on Robot Learning To Recognize Itself In Mirror · · Score: 1, Troll

    How do you prove the robot is aware that it recognizes itself?

    I call this project a nice strategy for having fun on the public dime.

  12. Re:Looks like Metro tiles on Microsoft Unveils First New Company Logo In 25 Years · · Score: 1

    Good point.

  13. Re:poor on Microsoft Unveils First New Company Logo In 25 Years · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Good simple logos are hard to do.

    Bad simple logos are easy to do. Like this one. Or do you see something good about it?

    Once again, major props to Steve Ballmer for keeping that impressively steady hand on the tiller, straight towards the rocks.

  14. Return to fomer glory on Microsoft Unveils First New Company Logo In 25 Years · · Score: 1

    Not.

  15. Re:Clowns have always creeped me out. on Jobs' Burglary Manhunt Yields Kenny the Clown · · Score: 1

    Electronic devices that take the liberty of ratting out their users have always freaked me out. Sure, this time the result was recovery of stolen property. Next time the result might be capture, torture and execution of a politcal dissident.

  16. Re:In the real universe ... not your limited brain on MplayerX Leaving Mac App Store · · Score: 0

    Eh, of course it does. Android is Linux and Mac OS is FreeBSD. And as everybody knows, Linux is superior to FreeBSD.

  17. Re:Repeat titles on Humble Bundle For Android 3 Released · · Score: 1

    Wow, I'm having more fun with these than I expected. Pretty slick. I spent $10 this time, I'll bump that up next time.

  18. Re:THIS IS PERFECTLY OK on Kasparov Arrested By Russian Police · · Score: 1

    Russia is not forcing extraditions of anyone in other countries for talking bad about them or for committing the heinous crime of file sharing.

    No, instead they just go there and feed them polonium tea.

  19. Re:um... ok? on Kasparov Arrested By Russian Police · · Score: 1

    People don't care about Kasparov being arrested half as much as the judicial farce that was just inflicted on Pussy Riot.

    I don't think you understand just how important chess is in Russia.

  20. Re:Procrastination on MplayerX Leaving Mac App Store · · Score: 0

    Yes, Android is filling that need as we speak.

    This article of course has to do with the *Mac* App Store, with which Android does not compete.

    In which universe does Android not compete with Apple?

  21. Re:Is this a genuine case? on MplayerX Leaving Mac App Store · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can't stand all these anti-sandboxing stories that make it sound like selling software over the Internet is so horrible.

    I would hazard a guess that the MplayerX folks have more of a clue about the situation than you.

    The subtext of this story is: it's walled garden time boys and girls, suck it down and like it.

  22. Re:It's Not A Bet... on Is Windows 8 Microsoft's Riskiest Bet? · · Score: 2

    even bigger than the chance of the air living the entire MS headquarters at random, and suffocating everybody there

    Didn't that already happen about ten years ago?

  23. Apple users are broke on Humble Bundle For Android 3 Released · · Score: 2

    Apple users are broke after maxing out their credit on iThings.

  24. Re:It was me! on Project To Turn Classical Scores Into Copyright-Free Music Completed · · Score: 1

    I think you would be hard pressed to find any evidence that Musopen, or really any free online music service (spotify, itunes, rdio etc) is hurting symphonies.

    As with the pop music industry I fully expect you would find the opposite... broad based distribution of free recordings encourages those who have the means to make additional purchases and seek out live performances.

  25. Re:It was me! on Project To Turn Classical Scores Into Copyright-Free Music Completed · · Score: 1

    To assume you would understand that niche industry's financial ebb and flow is an insult to the very snobs that continue to keep it alive.

    Wait... someone who enjoys classical music is by definition a snob, as opposed to somebody with a broad musical education and perhaps discerning ears?
