  1. Re:I guess I won't be using it then. on Google+: Tools, Names, and Facebook · · Score: 2

    Yeah, until this secnario. 'You walk into the washroom, shut the door. Two minutes later your roommates yell out, DUDE, way to much information. You don't need to tweet that! "But I didn't tweet anything!" You yell back. Later you check your tweet. 'In the bathroom, waxing one off' Google knows, google knows /everything/

    It's okay, one day google will complete it's mission. When it happens, all of your slashdot, twitter, etc will all be merged by google, google will own it all. Also no matter what you do, you will have a self replicating and updating profile. You will have posts in all areas automatically, slashdot, twitter, facebook, all of it. They will also be belivable that you did it, your google+ profile will take on a life of it's own and compete for friends. Your only chance will be to destroy your profile in a game of yahtzee.

    Maybe if it was a professional connection site, sure. Something to eat away at facebook? Let people have their fun. That's why they're there, fun, entertainment, socializing. If you're going to compete you have to be more worth it, not less. I'd rather troll facebook with darth than google + with Anakin Skywalker.

  4. Re:What exactly are these patents? on Microsoft Wants $15 Per Android Smartphone · · Score: 1

    Loading text before the background image is patentable? What's next, using software in a way that could be concieved as productive, making sense, or does not cause worse performance? Patents for certain things really should be allowed. 'Putting something in a different area then in a small bar at the top" shouldn't be under patent. Let's patent saying good things about microsoft in a way that promotes business and increases revenue online so we can sue anyone who does.

  5. Re:What Google+ Needs to Win on Google Wrestles With Privacy Bugs In Google+ · · Score: 1

    You probably nailed it right on. For a service everyone is already used to, saying 'Switch to google+! We have circles, Facebook doesn't have circles. Also facebook said you're ugly, but we don't think you're ugly." Unless they're providing some incredible service more alluring to social junkies than what facebook offers, it's not going to happen unless they overcome facebook in users. It's a catch 22. To be more attractive to facebook while offering simliliar services, we need to have more users than facebook, and to have more users than facebook, we need to be more attractive than facebook.

  6. Re:"Mere Moments" on Future Actions Predicted From Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    This is far from predicting future actions. I, myself, know what I am going to do moments before I do it. That is because I can think faster than I can act.

    It can only predict my actions before I do them, not before I think them. This isn't the start of pre-crime, because that would require planning out your actions before you do. This is not that, and it's not even a step towards that.

    That's all someone needs to know you're planning on pulling that trigger and to shoot you first. Actually, that's all a COMPUTER needs to know if you're going to comply or not. Say hello to Robocop v2

  7. Re:Works for all games? on Gran Turismo Gamer Takes Second In Class In World-Renowned Race · · Score: 1

    I'm good and ready for the Zombie Apocalypse, If mutants break out of labs and go on a killing rampage, or surviving a nuclear wasteland. I'd like to thank Left 4 Dead, Killing Floor, and Fallout 3 for my training.

  8. But how will companies survive? on There Oughta Be a Standard: Laptop Power Supplies · · Score: 1

    All of a sudden, you don't have to pay 80$ to replace their power cord, or purchase a new laptop since it's not worth buying the power cord. That idea is as crazy as...5 cent lithium watch batters not costing 4.99 each. Wishful thinking.

  9. Grocery Market Sued on New Apple Multi-Touch Patent Is Too Broad · · Score: 1

    Brand name infringement, store claims to sell Apple's. Apple claims their trademarks aren't usable just by adding 'Granny Smith' prior to the product name.
