  1. Re:Bayships? on Battlestar Galactica DVD Movie In the Works? · · Score: 1

    oops, thanks for clearing that up

  2. and.. on Battlestar Galactica DVD Movie In the Works? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Here's how I see it.

    The cylon bayships are showing WAY TOO MUCH. Its like going into Darth Vaders bathroom and watching him take off his mask and slap on some aftershave. Cylons were more interesting when it was a mystery what is going on inside there. When we knew just as much of the cylons as the humans did. Now we are watching the cylons run around in their underwear, and the bayships seem like a pretty cush place no?The scariest thing going on there is the digital lights that are unnecessarily being flashed in the cylon faces to make it look FUTURISTIC, OOOOOH.

    Why does Baltar still have Caprica(cylon) in his head? Shes right there!!!! What's the point? Hurry up and get done with the whole cylon/human hybrid baby, Sharon wants her baby storyline. Its really lame and unnecessary. First of all its just Madam President making another mistake cause really WHY tell the mother the kid died? So the cylons wont know she exists and take her and do experiments on her? Sorry but thats ridiculous. They would blow up gallactica before hoping onboard and kidnapping a baby.

    Somebody give me a free hotmail client already!!!!!

    If Mozilla teamed up with Google. And did two things I would drop my hotmail account for my gmail account and use Thunderbird.

    1. have Thunderbird able to work as a client for GMail.
    2. convince Google to fix GoogleTalk so that it is more of a competitor. (NO FILESHARING????)

    Well that's your problem right there :) Have you ever went in and looked what iTunes does with your actual MP3 files? EghhuUghhEughhhhhhhhh..... I wouldn't let iTunes anywhere near MY mp3 collection. *I* organize my MP3s how I choose and Windows Media Player just *PLAYS* them. What a music player is supposed to do.

    Except it's a lot easier to convince someone to try a new MP3 player than it is to try a new operating system. MP3 players are for fun, operating systems are for business.

    HAHAHA right... more like TREND.

    The Zune looks just as cool as the Ipod. Infact in my eyes the Ipod is a bit sheepish looking no? The Guy is asking the question.. WHAT DOES THE IPOD HAVE THAT THE ZUNE DOESN'T? Its a valid question and one that obviously noone has an answer to.

  11. I'll tell you why. on Why Does Everyone Hate Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    There is a large amount of stupid people in this world. And stupid people FOLLOW THE HERD. There are a few people out there who hate microsoft for likely reasonable opinions, many of them are super computer geniuses who tell computer illiterate people how to think and thus these opinions trickle down to the stupid people.

    And then there are the Mac users. Most of which fall under this category. Especially the meatheads who were told Macs are better for "graphics stuff" because in 1995 Photoshop was only available for the Mac and it took all the way til 1996 to be available for the PC. You people are regurgitating an argument that started and ended over 10 years ago. It's just been trickling through the dull minds of failed graphic designers for the last decade and you sheep are buying into it.

    So sadly folks, that is your answer. People are stupid and unwilling to formulate an opinion of their own. Even if they tell you it's their opinion, it really isn't. They just heard some other nerd say it.

  14. Re:divided sales on Zune Sales Not So Bad After All · · Score: 0, Troll

    i'm sorry but I don't remember mentioning that the Ipod is doomed I believe I was just being more realistic in pointing out that Microsoft has released a quality product that relatively stacks up quite well against the Ipod, in QUALITY AND SALES. Just as this article is saying. However, predictably the trendy Ipod has a large following with many of its followers/sheep/hipster wannabe users instantly bashing Microsoft for attempting to provide some competition/innovative features against the Ipod and even attempting to challenge a device you have already voted for with your wallet. HOW DARE MICROSOFT? And bravo to you for coming to the rescue of the Ipod so eagerly. As if you needed something more than the informed masses and every second person on the subway wearing white headphones to justify your undying, unconditional love for it. Keep on keepin' on sharpshooter.

    Was anyone with a brain actually listening to all these Ipod fanboys? I don't think I was the only one who realized all the Ipod fanboys rejoicing over the Amazon sales records meant nothing. Call it what you want but Zune only HAS one player. AND are brand new to the DAP market.

    The only thing that bugs me is the new TAB OVERFLOW managing. Before it scaled the tabs down. YES, there was a limit to how many it could hold but it could hold more on the screen at once. A combination of both means of managing the overflow would have been the better way.

  18. Re:Flamebait? on YouTube Stays Relevant Despite Pulled Content · · Score: 1

    Yeah, infact the kids are suspended?????????????? That is ridiculous. If I lived in Quebec I would go down to that school right now, politely ask for my uncle professor freakgasm and tell him I seen him losing his mind on youtube point/laugh. Then go to the principals office and tell them not to punish the damn students for this. Punish the stupid teacher.

    That article is downright infuriating. You can't reply . Just read how "the kids feel bad" WHATEVER. I highly doubt that. I just wish I could put that video back online.

    And BANNING ALL DEVICES? Because a teacher acted in a manner that embarassed himself?? So kids can't bring any device to school even if it in some way benefits their learning experience all because some teacher is afraid his frustrations of extremely miniscule penile might shine through on youtube?

    How much is a plane ticket to Quebec anyway? ARGHHHHHHH

  21. The article is actually quite positive... on Opening Zune Sales Flaccid · · Score: 1

    I think the sales are pretty good actually. In an MP3 player saturated market. To jump so far ahead of so many competitors is actually quite a feat. If anyone thought it would suddenly outsell Ipod on opening day they were thinking far differently from what I believe Microsoft's expectations were of the product.

    Zune is making its mark right now as a considerable competitor. Many more will sell over the new year.

    Microsoft has already taken a large chunk of Apple's customers.

  25. Walkman Vs. Ipod on Walkman Creator Leaves Sony · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sony has a name that is still embedded in everyone's mind. If they were smart they would create their own Ipod killer and name it Walkman in a huge marketing campaign. Instead they are tarnishing the Walkman name and calling every single device they have that's capable of playing MP3s "Walkman".

    There is huge room for new MP3 devices still. Even with the Zune. The Ipod takes up such a large marketshare and it is a product that is frankly geared towards Mac users in a world that is dominated by PC users. Don't' tell me it's not geared towards mac users either. The thing manages all the MP3 files on your hard drive AND on the device its own way. That is the Mac way. Hiding your files and giving you a GUI.
