  1. Re:yeah, right on US, Germany To Enter No-Spying Agreement · · Score: 1

    "Verbal commitment." Yep, that's definitely not going to work.

  2. So basically... on Changes In Earth's Orbit Were Key To Antarctic Warming That Ended Last Ice Age · · Score: -1

    Global warming is not our fault.

  3. Just wait on Has Anyone Seen My Rabbit? · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, you'll get your rabbit soon enough once they start reproducing...

  4. Re:Loud on The First 'Practical' Jetpack May Be On Sale In Two Years · · Score: 1

    First person to buy one of these is going to get shot down for their obnoxiousness. Maybe I'll consider getting one after the early adopter phase is over.

  5. Ellison & Jobs on Larry Ellison Believes Apple Is Doomed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Don't know why people are bashing on Larry Ellison so much. Larry Ellison & Steve Jobs were close friends (Steve was even the photographer at Larry Ellison's wedding). So of course Ellison knows what he's talking about when he says that Apple is doomed without Steve Jobs.

  6. Slashdotted on Book Review: The Healthy Programmer · · Score: 1

    Only one more paperback copy left in stock on Amazon! (as of this posting)

  7. Other direction? on New Android App Encourages Users To Throw Device As High As Possible · · Score: 1

    The developers should release a game where the goal is to throw your phone to the ground as hard as you can (think "Send Me to Heaven", but in the opposite direction). That would be a lot funnier to watch.

  8. Keep it simple on Mobile App Screens Calls With Brain Waves · · Score: 1

    Who needs an app to screen calls? Just turn off your phone!

  9. Some observations on Apple's iWatch Could Come With IOS, Earn $6 Billion a Year · · Score: 1

    1. The previous generation iPod nano (which was usable as a watch) was phased out so that it would have a larger non-wearable design. If Apple has been working on this product for some time, they would probably phase out that design strategically so that it could be reintroduced in the new "iWatch."

    2. Apple likely would not market the product as "iWatch" as it sounds too tacky and limits consumers' perception of what it can do.

    3. Forget the "iWatch-as-a-Bluetooth-frontend" idea. Apple probably wants to push for getting rid of the iPhone altogether and make the "iWatch" a phone in itself. That would shake things up quite a bit. It might still be useful for Bluetooth communication if people want to get the "iWatch" for that, but that's a minor selling point.

    4. Tim Cook serves on the board of directors at Nike, which makes the Fuelband. He is also a fitness buff and would have interest and expertise in the wearable computing domain.

  10. Umm... on USPS To Launch Line of Smart Clothing · · Score: 2

    Have they gone postal?
