  1. Re:Universal Law of Twitter ... on One-Tweet Wonders · · Score: 5, Funny

    From the Twitter lexicon, thousands of tweets is "twatter" thus making the poster a "twat".

    Internet Rule #42: What was the question?

  3. Re:Anyone have words about the browsing on Palm Pre Is Out, Time For Discussion · · Score: 1

    applications are going to be largely javascript + SQLlite + a custom JSON-based means to access the hardware, using modified webkit for display

    So games are going to really suck on the Pre...

  4. Re:A crippled phone imho on Apple To Face Challenge At WWDC · · Score: 0, Troll

    the iPhone has 8-16 and potentially 32 GB of storage in the new models built in

    There should only be one model with an SD slot.

    But there won't be because then Apple couldn't rape the customer over for $100 for only 8GB of flash memory.

    Even a gold plated, extra shiny, polished turd is still a turd at heart.

    Seriously neither Google nor Yahoo! are anything close to a monopoly.

    Good luck trying to compete with either of them -- at any level...

  7. Re:Speaking as an Apple fanboi ... on Apple Bans RSS Reader Due To Bad Word In Feed Link · · Score: 1

    To save costs, Apple has outsourced app review to a call center in India. There they follow a script. Anything the script catches, or falls outside the script, is rejected.

    Canada isn't imperialistic, and it looks OK there.

    Except the most SOUTHERN point of Canada is still NORTH of Buffalo, New York.

  9. Re:Not hard to circumvent. on University Gives Away iPhones To Curb Truancy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Correct me if I'm wrong: The iPhone doesn't have background applications, so the student has to go to class, sit down, run the app to locate his or herself. Couldn't they then could quit the app, get up and leave?

  10. Re:Could they possibly... on Time Warner ToS Changes Could Mean Tiered Pricing, Throttling · · Score: 1

    I have NEVER, EVER seen broadband services advertised on the basis of data transferred, only speed. You buy your service based upon the speed of your connection, not by the amount of data you transfer.

    It's a new business model. The PHBs at all the ISPs figured out that they could start charging people for the amount of data they transfer. The next step was to figure out how to justify it -- which they did. Now just sit back and watch the latest raping of the consumer by corporations.

    Google is not a monopoly. Stop pretending it is one.

    They're just so big and well funded from their advertising revenue that they can afford to give away everything.

    Good luck in competing with that -- at any level.

  14. Re:Who says netbooks are only suited for basic tas on Microsoft Kills 3-App Limit For Windows 7 Starter Edition · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Marketing has a very, very short memory. Not too long ago people where word-processing, spread-sheeting, data-basing, developing software and even Windows, heck, even using AutoCAD on a Pentium II. Or a 486 if you go farther back a bit more.

    "Bada Bing!" is what you proclaim when you actually find something on But It No Google.

    Well that certainly explains why there is no SD slot on the iPhone or iPod touch. Nor USB or SD slot on the side of recent generations of iMacs.

    I AM running Windows 7 on a Core 2 machine (1.8 GHz-ish) with 2 gigs of RAM. So far, everything works surprisingly well.

    Well, duh!

    The question is if it will run well on a 2.4 GHz P4 with 256MB of RAM and 40GB hard disk. Something XP and Linux do very, very well.
