  1. 4 Years Too Late on BBM Coming To iOS and Android · · Score: 1

    They should of done this ages ago, now they are on a burning platform and they can't escape.

  2. Re:and on All Systems Go For Highest Altitude Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows it's running XP, took a while to sort out the license though.

  3. Almost on All Systems Go For Highest Altitude Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Almost as good as my raspberry pi.

  4. Extra features cause slip on Most Kickstarter Projects Fail To Deliver On Time · · Score: 1

    The worst thing I find, mostly with games on Kickstarter is that they set an initial goal £100,000 for example and then they hit it, within two days. So then they set these stretch goals and go "well at £200,000 we will add air combat to this game", "wow £300,000 awesome, now we will add naval...you guys don't mind us adding an extra 2 months to development right?" Wrong, don't estimate 8 months then when you get more push it further back. Some of these games (Elite for example) is set to ship March 2014, that's over a year away and you're expecting me to pop £40 out now for a game I may or may not see in 15 months, what is my incentive here other than I may get a £2 discount on a game in the future.

  5. Re:Skepticism on Crysis 2 Most Pirated Game of 2011 · · Score: 2

    From the top torrent sites, they search for the torrents on there and look at the publicly available statistics of times the torrent file has been downloaded, hence the word estimated.

  8. Re:Since when was PC gaming ever viable? on Crysis 2 Most Pirated Game of 2011 · · Score: 4, Informative

    As shown on http://www.destructoid.com/crysis-2-huge-success-xbox-360-dominates-sales-197396.phtml XBox made up 57% of the sales, 29% for PS3 and PC only 14%. Probably in part to the 3 million downloads of the game via torrents.

  9. Seems EA... on Crysis 2 Most Pirated Game of 2011 · · Score: 1

    Have had a bit of a crysis... Yes, I went there.

  10. Lego Boson Spotted! on The Large Hadron Collider Has Been Recreated In Lego · · Score: 1

    One of the more useless lego pieces they have produced.

  11. This is why.. on iTunes Flaw Allowed Spying On Dissidents · · Score: 2

    You should always put all your music onto a £10 mp3 player and only listen to it on there!

  12. Conspiracy! on iTunes Flaw Allowed Spying On Dissidents · · Score: 5, Funny

    An amazing way to exploit software that is ubiquitous on many computers. Let's start the conspiracy now that Apple are told by governments not to fix a bug until they find a better 0Day to exploit.

  13. Every week... on Lenovo To Offer $200 Budget Tablet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I see news articles saying "Sub $200 tablet from (Big Vendor) due soon" then it turns out to be vaporware. Sick of these companies never following through.

  14. I wonder if... on Fix For Apache DoS Bug In the Pipes · · Score: 1

    This is the main exploit used by the Jester for attacks on Apache servers?

  15. Here's an idea. on Social Media a Threat To Undercover Cops · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Don't have a public profile and don't go out with friends and have them publicly tag your photos. Just an idea.

  16. Well.. on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Good luck in your future CmdrTaco, don't be a stranger.

  17. Re:Just upgrade to a tablet OS... on Dutch Court Says Android 2.3 Violates Apple Patents · · Score: 1

    ... you do realize that Apple's lawsuit was about their contention that the Samsung Galaxy Tab was a ripoff of the iPad? Putting Honeycomb on a Galaxy Tab doesn't really seem like that much of a stretch....

    "but said that Samsung could get around this simply by upgrading its phones to Android 3.0" Note, not tablets.

  18. Just upgrade to a tablet OS... on Dutch Court Says Android 2.3 Violates Apple Patents · · Score: 2

    Perfect. While you're at why not install windows xp on it to avoid patent issues.

  19. Re:Same as Twitter, then? on Google Launches Identity Verification Badge Scheme · · Score: 1

    This sounds basically the same as the "Verified Account" badge on Twitter that's used to identify high-profile celebrities as not being impostors.

    Exactly, they also said they'll be rolling it out to normal people when they could, 18 months on and still no sign of expanding past the small minority of celebrities that make up their user base.

  20. Twitter said the same thing... on Google Launches Identity Verification Badge Scheme · · Score: 1

    a year on and I still haven't got my verified profile as a general member of the public.
