  1. price and hardware on Google Unveils Nexus 7 Tablet, Nexus Q 'Social Streaming Device' · · Score: 1

    The real appeal of the Kindle Fire and the Nook are their inexpensiveness and availability without a contract.

    The hardware is the only thing that counts, the operating system is irrelevant since it would be wiped out with a Cyanogen mod.

  2. Re: on Facebook Post Juror Gets Fined, Removed, Assigned Homework · · Score: 1

    Awesome. Good for the judge for even being able to figure it out, and not calling it "The Face Book"

  3. can't even find an arcade in Sacramento on 'Old School' Arcade Still Popular In NYC · · Score: 1

    I've been trying to find an arcade in the Sacramento area for a long time, and nobody seems to know where one even is.

  4. Re:Mark Shuttleworth on Google's Experimental Fiber Network · · Score: 1

    Newegg has Solid State Disks on sale right now...

  5. Re:Must be running bootcamp on Apple Patches Massive Holes In OS X · · Score: 1

    I think this is just assumed by now.

  6. Old News on Nuclear Reactors As Art · · Score: 3, Informative

    Wired copied this story from io9, who originally brought attention to this blog 4 days ago.

  7. What is needed on Firefox Passes IE6 In Browser Share · · Score: 1

    I think, what we need is a popular website that purposefully doesn't work right in IE, only in Firefox.

  8. Re:This site best viewed with NOT ie6 on Firefox Passes IE6 In Browser Share · · Score: 1

    I know Firefox is superior, but I try telling that to my friend who always counters with ___ website doesn't work right in Firefox, and then there's my parents who are small business owners, and some of their vendors have websites that use ActiveX things, so of course don't work with anything but IE.

  9. already on "Smart" Parking Meters Considered Dumb · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yay, first post!

    They have those things in Sacramento California also, they suck! I hate them! They're the worst!
    I heard in some cities though that they place sensors under the parking spots that reset the meter whenever somebody removes their car, as another way of making sure nobody gets any free time.

  10. Re:Monopolies on FCC Seeks To Improve US Broadband Access · · Score: 3, Informative

    The cities that have done this have also been sued by big telcos.

  11. Hard Disk out, hard disk in on Apple Mac Mini 1TB Upgrade — Not Easy But Possible · · Score: 1

    Why isn't it as simple as take the old hard disk out, and put the new one in?

  12. already there? on Windows 7 Lets You Uninstall IE8 · · Score: 1

    XP already supposedly had this ability, it just didn't work.

  13. NBC on Cable Companies Want Bigger Share of Online TV Market · · Score: 1

    Far as I know, Hulu is owned by NBC. They already own the content. They can do what they want with it. Comacast (and other cable companies) don't own content. They can't do anything with something they don't own (or license). It's that simple.

    But also, I don't know why the cable companies want to have a website for internet TV. They say it's not for revenue, and it certainly couldn't be, a big website like Hulu costs a lot to develop, and while I like Hulu, it doesn't make me think any more or less of NBC, or earn them any goodwill.

    Yeah, they make money from advertising, but it can't come close to what it cost to develop the site.

  14. Re:The victims are the winners.. on Xbox Live Players Targeted In Denial-of-Service Attacks · · Score: 1

    That would be great if you could determine who was DDoSing you.

  15. how? on TrapCall Service To Bypass Caller ID Blocking · · Score: 1

    So far I only read about how you can use this to unblock somebody calling your cell phone, how do you implement it on somebody calling your land line with caller ID?

    How does it handle situations where the caller ID info is not transmitted by the switch? (if the call is coming from overseas or from some rural place)

  16. space debris on Collided Satellite Debris Coming Down? · · Score: 1

    A while ago I saw a google earth version of all the satellites in orbit, and I had no idea there were so many. If even 25% of them are dead, I think it would be great if they came down. I'm surprised anyone can get a space ship through that.

  17. Arcades? on Sega To Close Arcades, Cancel Games, Lay Off Employees · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen an arcade in at least 6 or 8 years. I live in California.

  18. I don't remember any of this happening on Comcast Apologizes For Super Bowl Porn Glitch · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I watched the Superbowl, I have Comcast, I don't remember any of this happening.

  19. Good for divorcees on Family Dog Cloned, Thanks To Dolly Patents · · Score: 2, Funny

    I know lots of divorced couples that had a hard time deciding who gets the dog, now there's one less thing they have to argue about.

  20. Re:Zomg on AMD Phenom II Overclocked To 6.5GHz · · Score: 1

    I believe so, as I write this from my Athlon 64X2 @3.2 GHz.

  21. stolen on US Army Files Found On Second-Hand MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    It really sounds to me like it was stolen from a soldier and worked its way to a pawn shop.

  22. Not a square... on Rural Rest Area · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, I haven't a square to spare...

  23. SMS? on Hackers Finally Unlock iPhone 3G · · Score: 1

    Now that it's broken, can you finally do SMS on it?

  24. Re:Constitutionality on Sex Offenders Must Hand Over Online Passwords · · Score: 1

    They do this in the town that I went to college. They do it to discourage excess drinking. In a college town nonetheless.

  25. Re: on Using Speed Cameras To Send Tickets To Your Enemies · · Score: 1

    I got one of these darned things once in Davis, Calfornia. It cost me something like $350, and the thing that was sent to me had 4 distinct pictures, one of the front plate, one of the back plate, one of the car overall, and one of the driver (zoomed way in for good detail). When it happened, I read all kinds of articles on it, and apparently it never is successfully appealed, most judges treat it as absolute without even thinking about it twice.
