  1. But first.. on Wired Writer Hack Shows Need For Tighter Cloud Security · · Score: 5, Insightful

    we need a tighter way to detect reposts

  2. 20% difference is too large on Is It Time For an OpenGL Gaming Revolution? · · Score: 2

    I'm a bit skeptical about these numbers..

  3. Not useful without additional data on Twitter Launches Political Index · · Score: 1

    The graph does not provide any reason why a candidate would be trending on twitter.

  4. Re:They want other corporate partners not to know on Microsoft, IBM Want to Seal Patents Agreements With Samsung · · Score: 1

    Well duh, why would we have a right to know when the dispute in question has nothing to do with Microsoft?

  5. Re:I think they can reinvent themselves on Former Microsoft Exec: Microsoft Has "Become the Thing They Despised" · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Profitability is not a popularity contest.

  6. Former exec on Former Microsoft Exec: Microsoft Has "Become the Thing They Despised" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A former exec disgruntled with his previous company? you don't say...

  7. Re:So basically... on A Critical Examination of Bill Gates' Philanthropic Record · · Score: 1

    There is no public health infrastructure. It all goes to whatever minister of health in that country, which is basically ripe for corruption. Doing it for-profit leads to better accountability.

  8. What's the big deal? on A Critical Examination of Bill Gates' Philanthropic Record · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From what I read, instead of handing out money directly.. which just leads to corruption, he is leveraging it in a way that prevents the money from being abused. Free money never works when it comes to aid son.

  9. If you're posting porn online.. on The Worst Job In the Digital World · · Score: 2, Insightful

    then you don't deserve any privacy to begin with.

  10. Are we not objective anymore? on Microsoft Files EU Antitrust Complaint Against Motorola Mobility · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've been reading the comments, and there doesn't seem to be any talk about the argument at all. Just "taste of your own medicine" "deserves it" "that's rich". Are we too blinded by fanbiosm to even have a valid discussion anymore?

  11. Re:X-Prize on Sanctions Or Not, Iranian Competition Yields Successful UAVs · · Score: 0

    I really could give a shit about who likes what. If someone is a threat, they are gonna have to answer to the rest of us.

  12. BBNX on Trademark Trouble For RIM Over New "BBX" Name · · Score: 1

    BBNX isn't so bad. Why don't they trademark names before they announce them?

  13. One thing at a time on Why Mars Is Not the Best Place To Look For Life · · Score: 1

    We could learn a lot from exploring the planet closest to us, before venturing out to other places.

  14. It's not dead on Zune Dead, Then Not Dead, Then Officially Dead · · Score: 1

    Ever WP7 comes with a zune player, basically they stopped selling dedicated zune hardware and you can use your phone for that now. Software and zune pass still available.

  15. Motion Sickness on id Software Releases RAGE · · Score: 1

    Watching the review just made me sick, reminds me too much of quake 3. Somehow IDs games always trigger this problem (unreal tournament was the worst). I think it has to do with the way the gun points in first person shooter mode. ID always makes the gun point to the right side of your body, but enemies come either straight at your or the left. To shoot properly one has to strafe or turn slightly, which feels weird. Looks like a good game but there's no way I will be able to play this for 20hours.

  16. That makes no sense on The NSA Wants Its Own Smartphone · · Score: 2

    wouldn't the value of security be gone if it is allowed to communicate with other phones? Don't these people learn anything?

  17. gmail? on Collar-Bomber Tracked By Gmail Accesses · · Score: 1

    He probably would have gotten away with it if he didn't use gmail.

  18. I still have a vaccum on PC Designer Says PC "Going the Way of the Vacuum Tube" · · Score: 1

    am I doing it wrong?

  19. And? on New Federal CIO Is Former Microsoft, FCC Exec · · Score: 1

    So what?

  20. N9? on Nokia Windows Phone Revealed · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Isn't this the phone everyone raves about but nobody wants to buy?

  21. Supervise your own kid on Why Doesn't 'Google Kids' Exist? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You people disgust me. You go through the trouble of having a kid and yet you want to leave the responsibilty to big corporation. If you can't bother to spend time browsing the web with your kid, don't have one.

  22. Yea.. not a big deal on Google, Microsoft In Epic Hiring War · · Score: 1

    I'm sure with 10% unemployment we can easily find 6200 people, heck we can find a 100,000 people waiting to fill these jobs.

  23. It does or it does not on Titan May Have an Ocean · · Score: 1

    What's with this "may" stuff? It either does or it does not

  24. Should we be happy that it didn't happen? on What Happened To the Climate Refugees? · · Score: 2

    Shouldn't we be happy that it didn't happen.. instead of gloating about it?

  25. at least with current technologies.. on Forget Space Travel, It's Just a Dream · · Score: 3, Insightful

    wow really? Even a monkey could have figured that out.
