  1. Re:Kindle Fire on Ask Slashdot: Easy Wi-Fi-Enabled Tablet For My Dad? · · Score: 1

    My mom really enjoys her kindle, that being said she uses the dual core notebook I got her much more often.

  2. Re:A Truly Worthy Endeavor on Mozilla Organizes Game Creating Contest, Prizes Worth $45,000 · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile the board of directors at Mozilla is trying to figure out why they keep losing ground to Chrome. Maybe they think giving us web games will make us forget they still dont have multi process architecture?

  3. Same old story on Retail Radeon R9 290X Graphics Cards Slower Than AMD's Press Samples · · Score: 1

    It seems like this is a recurring problem for AMD. I recall a similar issue with the bulldozer cpu's

  4. Agreed on Swarm Mobile's Offer: Free Wi-Fi In Exchange For Some Privacy · · Score: 1

    I couldn't have said it better myself.

  5. Is it going to come with the classic Nokia ringtone?

  6. Re:AMD on Xbox One Released · · Score: 0

    I agree. It would be awesome to see AMD competing head to head with Intel again. From the demo videos I have watched the hardware looks fantastic.

  7. Re:Increasingly irrelevant tech dinosaur.. on Nokia Shareholders Approve Sale To Microsoft · · Score: 0

    Instagram just went into beta yesterday for wp8. Vine also came out with their own app last week. While the lack of apps can be frustrating, they are rigorously tested for security threats, even more so than on iOS or Android. The other thing I like is that every app is sandboxed, so if you do download something malicious it can't touch your other programs. There are also some great alternative apps for many of the absent heavy hitters. If you need some suggestions (I know I did when I first got my phone), shoot me a pm and I would be happy to help.

  8. Re:Virtualization on Building an IT Infrastructure Today vs. 10 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    I have sat in many meetings with a focus on cloud storage and it makes me cringe when I think about sensitive business data flying around. The evolution of byod has made encryption programs like pgp and mobile iron a must.

  9. Re:Virtualization on Building an IT Infrastructure Today vs. 10 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    The evolution of package management and group policy have made my job much easier. I don't miss the days of of going up and down the rows of desks, popping disks into boxes.

  10. Re:Same now as it was back then . . . on Building an IT Infrastructure Today vs. 10 Years Ago · · Score: 0

    This is industry standard best practice I thought.

  11. Re:You really have to admire Microsoft... on Nokia Shareholders Approve Sale To Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Yes, because it would have been a much better proposition to start churning out more disposable Android phones in an already over saturated market. At least wp8 gives them some market differential.

  12. Re:Increasingly irrelevant tech dinosaur.. on Nokia Shareholders Approve Sale To Microsoft · · Score: 2

    Say what you will about Nokia but as someone who has owned Apple and Samsung devices previously, I have to say my Lumia is the best phone I have ever owned.

  13. Re:This is why... on Canonical Developer Warns About Banking With Linux Mint · · Score: 1

    Very true

  14. Re:Google would never do that to me. on Google to Pay $17 Million to Settle Privacy Case · · Score: 1

    Thats right, you have to level up your Google character and then they stop tracking you.

  15. Only in America on Google to Pay $17 Million to Settle Privacy Case · · Score: 1

    In capitalist America, Google search you!

  16. Re:violation of trust on Google to Pay $17 Million to Settle Privacy Case · · Score: 1

    They all do it. The only way to get around it is to use privacy-focused alternatives like duckduckgo.com and startpage.com

  17. Re:Hey come on, gotta hate on MS! on Netflix Users In Danger of Unknowingly Picking Up Malware · · Score: 0

    Totally agree, this is Fox News style "journalism" at its finest.

  18. Re:This is why... on Canonical Developer Warns About Banking With Linux Mint · · Score: 1

    Fedora works for me as well. It does everything I need it to do, plays well with my Windows boxes, and you rarely hear anything negative about it.

  19. More evidence on Canonical Developer Warns About Banking With Linux Mint · · Score: 1, Interesting

    This is just another piece of evidence that confirms my suspicions. Canonical has been threatened by the Mint project for years now. This is not the first interview that has come out with an Ubuntu dev speaking ill of Mint, and I'm sure it wont be the last.

  20. Re:like we needed more ammo on Canonical Developer Warns About Banking With Linux Mint · · Score: 0

    I know right!

  21. WP convert on Nokia Introduces Windows Tablet · · Score: 1

    You know, the more I learn about the windows phone, the less I hate it. As much as I am not a fan of the windows 8 experience on the desktop, its not so bad in the mobile sector. Who would have ever though M$ would have a better privacy policy than iOS or Android

  22. Nice looking phone on Sleeper: LG G2 One of the Fastest Android Smartphones On the Market · · Score: 1

    The screen looks great! The thing that kind of threw me was the buttons being located on the back, at least I can feel like I'm giving my phone a back massage.
