  1. solve the world problem on Facebook Wants Drones To Connect the Developing World · · Score: 1

    Mr Zuckerburg wants to solve the world problem such as famine, drought, poverty, disease, etc by giving them free facebook account. I sense someone is going to win the Nobel peace price.

  2. my car on Apple Launches CarPlay At Geneva Show · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you. The car I'm driving is 9 years old and it is still going strong. I will likely keep it for another 3-4 years at least. Gadgets don't last this long. I'm afraid it might work wonder now but in a few years it is an eye sore every time I get into the car. I wouldn't buy car comes with this kind of crap. Give me bluetooth and auxiliary jack. I'm satisfied.

  3. FB will need at least 180 years to recoup their investment in whatsapp.

  4. i have to ask on Nokia Announces Nokia X Android Smartphone · · Score: 3, Funny

    Since Nokia makes wonderful handset, could existing nokia handsets running windows be modded to run android?

  5. easier and cheaper on Who's On WhatsApp, and Why? · · Score: 1

    FB could sign up 19B users for $19B if they pay $1 per user when they use facebook messenger. I know what the entire population of the world. Who cares? The investors are all after the number of users. I don't think they care much about number of REAL people, do they?

  6. Re:There you go on Facebook To Buy WhatsApp · · Score: 1

    I hate to blow your bubble. It is too late. Your personal information has been transmitted to FB and an account has been created for you if you haven't already have one.

    > You should assume that people will have rooted it so that any notificiation of recording will be disabled while still allowing recording. That or a piece of black tape :-)

  8. Re:They can't give up control on Wozniak To Apple: Consider Building an Android Phone · · Score: 2

    Never say never. Their market share (iphone and various sizes of its cousin) are down and there is no way it will ever go back up. The next thing we know, iphone market share will be down to single digit. Of course the company will continue doing well for the years to come. Look at blackberry, their major break through was with RIM 950. It took them 12-15 years to collapse. The market is more competitive now. I'm betting Apple has at least 7-8 years of time left if they don't do anything -- i.e. we will continue seeing record profits year after year until the end its sudden death.

  9. Re:Airport wifi on Canadian Spy Agency Snooped Travelers With Airport Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    This article is not about insecure connection, it is about CSEC using wifi client as a security bacon to track one's where about.

  11. LAN on Blizzard Releases In-House Design Tools To Starcraft Modders · · Score: 1

    Can it be modded to be played on LAN only? Think not.

  12. who's next? on Schiller Says Apple Is the Last PC Maker From the Mac Era, Forgets About HP · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Does that mean Apple is the next to go?

  13. exactly on 200 Dolphins Await Slaughter In Japan's Taiji Cove · · Score: 1

    Like others had said, we kill millions of animals every single day in the name of foods, etc. I don't see this as any worse or any better than slaughter houses killing farm animals. Perhaps the only slight difference is these dolphins are in the wild. It is the same as "fishermen" in Canada killing baby seals, "fishermen" in Finland killing whales, etc. What should we do though as a consumer? Vote with your money/pocket! What should we do as a human being? ...

  14. Re: Umm no. on Ask Slashdot: State of the Art In DIY Security Systems? · · Score: 1

    It really depends where you live. Some of these calls are nuisance to police. The police does not attend to this type of calls in where I used to live.

  15. Are they not the 8 firms provided customer information behind the scene to NSA until the incident went public? Yes, of course they never provided NSA anything ... maybe they just conveniently set up their servers a little less secured to allow NSA tap into customer information. To me, it is a lot of BS.

  19. it is NSA on User Alleges LG TVs Phone Home With Your Viewing Habits · · Score: 1

    Of course LG has no idea what's going on. NSA infiltrated LG's servers. They want to know if you're downloading and watching homeland tv series.

  22. no profit on SnapChat Turns Down $3 Billion Offer From Facebook · · Score: 1

    These companies does not have to make money, in fact, the faster it burns cash, the merrier. The last bubble was because of high valuation of companies associated with the word "i"nternet. This time around, it is about association with the word "s"ocial.

  24. Re:The iPhone's pretty reasonable... on Is Choice a Problem For Android? · · Score: 1

    You may now by now I'm not a idevice user. I have a colleague who has an iphone and I have an android. He told me he couldn't connect his iphone to his work computer to transfer large files back and forth. I just assume it is not possible. We're not allowed to install itunes at work. When I plugged my android to my computer, it shows up as a drive on windows. When I showed him the file manager on my android, he couldn't keep his mouth closed as if he saw the most sexy woman on the planet.

  25. Re:The iPhone's pretty reasonable... on Is Choice a Problem For Android? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How about a file manager and be able to plug your idevice into computer to transfer files without the much "loved" itunes?
