  1. what that really means on In UK, Google Glass To Be Banned While Driving · · Score: 1

    What the government really wants to avoid is having people watching porn while driving. Wait a minute, porn is an opt in. I feel bad for my friends in UK.

  2. fire sales on Early Surface Sales Pitiful · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for the fire sales. I would buy one if the price is $150; definitely will get it if it is $100.

  3. the best time of AAPL is behind us on Pinch-To-Zoom Apple Patent Rejected By USPTO · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The day apple stops innovating and starts spending millions of dollars on lawyers, we know it is inevitable it will go down hill. What I'm surprised though is how fast it comes down. Looking at their slumping market share and the report about 40% drops in their quarterly iphone sales in China are very troubling for the company. I'm not a apple hater but I did short its stock twice in the past and made a few coins. You guess it right, I will be watching their sales very closely in the next few quarters.

  4. is this new? on McAfee Exaggerated Cost of Hacking, Perhaps For Profit · · Score: 1

    Have you read a news article that says police busted a weed house and got rid of $30 millions weed? Usually that $30 millions is the price of all grown up weeds selling at the top street price. They may only confiscated a few baby plants.

  5. symantec!? on First Apps Targeting Android Key Vulnerability Found in the Wild · · Score: 1

    I can only hope no one is going to install symantec antivirus on their phone because we know what it did to our computer.

  6. NSA's backdoor on Apache OpenOffice 4.0 Released With Major New Features · · Score: 2

    I don't know about you, I feel like exposing my erotic story I write to NSA. If openoffice does not have a back door to NSA, it will not cut it for me. Just saying.

  7. If the ranking/studies is sponsored by the telcos in my country, Canada would be ranked 1.

  8. surface RT on A Radical Plan For Saving Microsoft's Surface RT · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Has anyone really sat down spending a few minutes playing with surface rt (or whatever it is called?)? It is actually a really nice device. I could see myself buying one if the price is right. The right price to pay is likely $150 with the keyboard.

  9. real question on When Metadata Analytics Goes Awry · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you truly concern about this problem, the real question to ask is why on earth do you sign up with linkedin (or g+ or facebook).

  10. cash and run on PayPal Credits Man With $92 Quadrillion · · Score: 1

    Cash and run!

  11. back to school fire sale on Microsoft Is Sitting On Six Million Unsold Surface Tablets · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't mind paying $100 to try it out myself. For $50, I would buy one for everyone in my house including my 12 years old dog.

  12. What could UN do if it takes over the "internet"? Mr Putin still wants to correspond with his mistress who has a gmail account.

  13. i know now on Samsung Ups Ante In Smartphone Size Wars: 6.3 Inches · · Score: 1

    I always thought that these stupid 5" or 6" smart "phones" are WAY too big for anyone's hands until my latest oversea visit. I saw lots of young girls carrying these monster phones using them as if they are tablet pc. I only saw a girl making phone call on it using a head phone. That stroke me that these "phones" are too big, it is the i-what-pad or any other 10" tablet pc is WAY TOO BIG for these people.

  14. helping us on Aussie Telco Telstra Agreed To Spy For America · · Score: 5, Funny

    NSA is building a huge database to help us to help ourselves. With the data that they have, they can easily tell me what I want for lunch today or tomorrow. Or better yet, do my job for me. I can relax at the beach all day long watching bikini babes.

  15. minority report on Discovering NSA Code Names Via LinkedIn · · Score: 2

    > Used a variety of tools and data to provide advanced threat warnings to American civilian, government, and military personnel He can't possible be thinking of getting a better job with that line on his linkedin profile. That's so last-decade.

  16. PC sales will never catch up with phone/tablet on PC Sales See 'Longest Decline' In History · · Score: 1

    I buy a phone every 1 to 2 years. I buy a tablet for everyone in my household including my 2 years old son. I buy a PC for myself and wife every 4-5 years.

  17. listen to your customers on Steve Ballmer Reorganizing Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Rule #1: Listen to your goddamn customers. We don't want the stupid metro interface or 24/7 DMCA crap. Get rid of them. Rule #2: Go to #1

  18. NSA knows about the security holes years ago. Do we need to bother with these security patches?

  19. spying on Mount Everest Gets 4G Connectivity · · Score: 1

    I was going to say Chinese government is trying to steal private information from people using their network. That was before the NSA's spying plan being made public. Now I would just say please feel free to steal my personal private information.

  20. angry birds on Android On the Desktop · · Score: 1

    My kids would love it. They will soon be able to play angry birds on the PC while leaving my nexus 7 alone.

  21. beach time on Foxconn's Robot Workforce Now 20,000 Strong · · Score: 1

    Cool. These unemployed workers could spend their days at the beach enjoying life. We know that our civilization is in decline when this sort of things are happening.

  22. asking for trouble on Black Hat Talks To Outline Attacks On Home Automation Systems · · Score: 1

    Anyone directly connects their home automation equipment to the internet is asking for trouble.

  23. Re: Apple's encryption on Use Tor, Get Targeted By the NSA · · Score: 1

    The stuff you read is likely a "leak" from NSA encouraging people to use iMessage or iFacewhatevertime thinking that their messages are encrypted and safe from the government. In fact, NSA likely has a direct server making it REALLY easy to obtain data sent using these methods, ahem.

  24. why bother on One Year Since Assange Took Refuge in Ecuadorian Embassy · · Score: 1

    Why bother spending that much money trying to send him away to Sweden while we all know an easy solution to catch him is by torch the embassy up by a mi5 agent, no I mean a drunk kid. All the people from the embassy has to be evacuated while firefighter putting out the fire. HINT HINT.

  25. demand / supply on Google Aims To Cull Child Porn By Algorithm, Not Human Review · · Score: 1

    So google is trying to control the supply of CP images? That itself will only increase the price of these images or worse violation of these children. If google is seriously wanting to help, they should help law enforcer to track down these people and bring them to justice.
