    If you don't know, just say so.

    The anonymous coward computer security experts are coming out of the woodwork for this one.

  4. Re:Is it really about market share? on Duqu Installer Exploits Windows Kernel Zero Day · · Score: 1

    There are already OSX Trojans that are effective because Mac users feel invincible because they aren't running Windows. The fact that those exist is a warning to Apple that their market share is getting large enough to be targeted, but nobody seems to care about educating their users.

    Once again, don't open email attachments from unknown senders.

  6. its a limit problem actually on PROTECT-IP Makes Its Way To the Floors of Congress · · Score: 0

    They can go really, really close to zero, but not quite since the money they make off passing this act is represented as 1 / (public support) . They can get the amount of public support to a number arbitrarily close to zero, but not zero.

  10. The Difference on Ubuntu Heads To Smartphones, and Tablets · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly there. That's the big difference. They're competing mainly with Apple/Google, and I think they can take them on.

  11. Good on Ubuntu Heads To Smartphones, and Tablets · · Score: 1

    Having a tablet oriented linux distro is going to open up the linux market. Ubuntu has a reputation for working out of the box, let's see if they can keep it with such unusual hardware.

  15. Re:Why so much Apple crap here lately? on A Decade of Apple Oddities · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Because Apple has brainwashed everyone into believing that their particular flavor of UNIX running on some less-than-inspired devices is special.

  25. Re:Because people don't need them on Tablet Makers Try To Beat iPad's $500 Pricetag · · Score: 1

    Most people don't need and don't really want a tablet. It's as simple as that.

    That is completely true. Most people don't want a tablet. Most people want an Ipad.

    Most people have no idea what they want. Most of time they are bamboozled by family members, or aquaintances to buy an Imac/Ipod etc... BECAUSE IT JUST WORKS (except in the case when it obviously doesn't but nobody ever says this). Its as if the rest of the industry puts out products that don't work and that is not true at all. Listening to an apple user/fan is like listening to a priest doing proselytism.

    I agree completely. The relationship between the fanboys and their products is creepy. I do like asking them questions about their computer, because the answers they give are awesome. I've found that many of the ones who claim to be power users don't even know what duel booting is, or even how to access their command line.
