  1. Re:Definition of activist? on US Court Says Motorola Can't Enforce Microsoft Injunction In Germany · · Score: 1

    I see you take "activist judge" to mean any judge who disagrees with you rather than basing their rulings on the law.

  2. Re:Apple? on US Court Says Motorola Can't Enforce Microsoft Injunction In Germany · · Score: 0

    The fact that you don't like their ruling, or their reason for making the ruling, doesn't make it misconduct. But nice anti-Apple trolling nonetheless.

  3. What did they expect? on Stanford-NYU Report: Drone Attacks Illegal, Counterproductive · · Score: 1, Insightful

    They ask terrorists (the "victims" of the drone attacks) how they feel about drones and you get the expected response. The number of "civilian" casualties cannot be confirmed or even reliably estimated since the terrorists dress like civilians. This piece of alleged journalism comes from the Bureau of Investigative Journalism which is a highly euphemistically named organization that is about as fair and balanced as Fox News.

  4. Satan pushing a snow thrower ... on Motorola Seeks Ban On Macs, iPads, and iPhones · · Score: 1

    ... and this bit of legal trolling both have the same chance of success. Of course it does get press which is hard for Motorola to get these days.

  5. Saturation and life-cycle on The Passing of the Personal Computer Era · · Score: 4, Interesting

    We have 4 people in the household that use one PC, but we each have Smartphones. I build my own PC and update one individual part (mobo, cpu, RAM, video card, psu, etc.) every 6 months so I never really show up on the radar of the floggers who write such tripe based on HP and Dell stats, but we each get a new phone at a minimum every 2 years and frequently more often if there's an accident with one. The PC isn't dead it's just reached a saturation point like the tablets will someday. Phones I would expect to ALWAYS have higher numbers because they'll always have more frequent replacement, but they may suffer the same fate if they reach saturation once all the features have been fleshed out and hardware hits physical limits.

  6. The thin is ... on School Regrets Swapping Laptops For iPads · · Score: 1

    ... tablets and smartphones are fine for selling $0.99 crap content to people who don't require quality or who don't need to do real work. At the end of the day tablets are about mass consumption ... the HFCS of content. People need to falling prey to the marketing saying the "next great thing" will be a universal device that will fulfill all their needs, and stick to buying the right tool for the right job.

  7. More of the same old ... on Complex Systems Theorists Predict We're About One Year From Global Food Riots · · Score: 1

    ... the sky is falling predictions because it's hard to sell ad space predicting happiness and civility. If you read the history, people in the 1970's were predicting the same thing.

  8. Choices, choices, choices ... on Scientists Say Organic Food May Not Be Healthier For You · · Score: 1

    Let's see ... I can eat vegetables grown using synthetically derived pesticides and herbicides that contain measurable, but infinitesimally small amounts, of chemicals shown to be dangerous at enormously higher concentrations ... or ... vegetables grown using manure (feces), compost (rotted organic debris), and biologically derived pesticide and herbicide chemicals (organic DOES NOT mean pesticide or herbicide free) that are just as dangerous at high concentrations as the synthetically made chemicals I'm trying to avoid, while paying twice as much for my food which was grown by a method that can't possibly feed the world's population. So I choose organic ... but a deer wanders through the field and poops on the organic lettuce that eventually ends up in my organic salad and I die from Salmonella or E. coli ... but by God my corpse never encountered round up ready corn! Mother Nature FTW!

  9. Wait for the other shoe to drop ... on Chinese Students Say They Are Being Forced To Build Your Next iPhone · · Score: 5, Interesting

    No independent confirmation; "someone posting under the name of Dalingzhuimengnan said" and "radio reports" and statements from Universities about internships ... all the links lead back to one Shanghai Daily article. This "journalism" needs fact checking and verification. It may be true or it may not. Time will tell. You may now resume backing Apple as if the other phones made in China wouldn't use similar tactics if they could get away with it.

  10. Copying is not innovative on Google Distances Android From Samsung Patent Verdict · · Score: 1

    Copying a design isn't innovative except in the minds of those too dim-witted to come up with original designs. Actually enforcing the patents the tech companies have will force more innovation and better devices. Instead of complaining about how patent wars stifle innovation (they don't they only stifle copying) everyone who owns the current generation of devices should be complaining to the device manufacturers about the lack of truely innovative technologies and features in their devices.

  11. The real burden is ... on Former Xerox PARC Researcher: Windows 8 Is a Cognitive Burden · · Score: 0

    ... watching every craggy old fart on the planet trot out one excuse after another to resist change. It's an OS ... it doesn't kick puppies or kitties, scare little children, cause curvature of the spine, or make weeds grow in your yard. If you don't like it, stick to Win 7 whose support doesn't end until 2020.

  12. Assange? Srsly? on Assange Makes Statement Calling For an End To the "Witch Hunt" · · Score: 0

    He's going to end up getting what to him is the worst fate of all; anonymity. He doesn't matter. Never did, never will.

  13. Yawn on Nintendo Release 3DS XL and New Mario 2 In the USA Today · · Score: 1

    Nintendo ... 'nuff said.

  14. They seem to have stepped in some Assange shyte and can't get the stench off themselves.
