    Whoo a bit too early? Hasn't H264 decoding been available for years in GPUs?

  2. Re:Just a thought... on Astronomers Find an Old-Looking Galaxy In the Early Universe · · Score: 2

    Unfortunately pop-science always shows this as a classic explosion. Not only that, but it shows it exploding into space. :/

  3. Re:Just a thought... on Astronomers Find an Old-Looking Galaxy In the Early Universe · · Score: 1

    What made you postulate this shape in the first place? Why not a square, a triangle?

    Good luck getting GPS to work through half a mile of rock.

    He's only expressing an opinion, he didn't write the PR.

  6. Are new singularities created around a black hole? on 12-Billion-Solar-Mass Black Hole Discovered · · Score: 1

    I assume the pressure and densities of matter around a black hole's accretion disk are at least as high as those in the center of stars that form into black holes. So would it be right to conclude that new singularities are created around an active black hole's accretion disk all the time?

  7. Re:For the rest of us on It's Time To Revive Hypercard · · Score: 2

    I'd say the Commodore Amiga was the best personal computer. Ahead of Macs

  8. Re:Pretty cool on World War II Tech eLoran Deployed As GPS Backup In the UK · · Score: 1

    We do. It's called Glasnoss and Galileo. The latter when completed will be superior to GPS

  9. Re:Looks cloud-enabled. on Google Developing a Pill To Detect Cancer · · Score: 1

    How would you propose to do this, via telepathy?

  10. Re:Those who don't know history... on Microsoft Works On Windows For ARM-Based Servers · · Score: 1

    "That's why Linux is in much better shape" Are you really comparing Linux in 2014 to NT/Alpha/x86 20 years ago?

  11. Re: Who cares on OneDrive Delivers Unlimited Cloud Storage To Office 365 Subscribers · · Score: 1

    Maybe the solution is to change the OS and not the cloud software as that is what seems to be the problem.

  12. Re: Who cares on OneDrive Delivers Unlimited Cloud Storage To Office 365 Subscribers · · Score: 1

    Dropbox on a Mac? What's that.. 0.01% of the market?

  13. Got to love synthetic tests on BitTorrent Performance Test: Sync Is Faster Than Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox · · Score: 1

    To out shit products scraping the bottom of the barrel

  14. WHY ALWAYS APPLE? on Will the Google Car Turn Out To Be the Apple Newton of Automobiles? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Why does Apple have to be mentioned in this article?. Seriously, suck it up iTards. Android has been winning for a long time

  15. Barometers In iPhones! on Barometers In iPhones Mean More Crowdsourcing In Weather Forecasts · · Score: 2

    Remember Barometers In iPhones.. that's iPhones.. remember Barometers In iPhones.... Smallprint: oh yeah, Android had them for years

  16. Re:Contracting? on Sony Warns Demand For Blu-Ray Diminishing Faster Than Expected · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's not that Blu-Ray failed. It's that physical media failed and most people turned to online sources or streaming.

  17. $23 Million makes you a major player? on Cyanogen Mod Raises $23 Million Funding All Set To Become Major Android Player · · Score: 1

    In this day and age isn't that a drop in the ocean, especially when some competitors have up to 3 order of magnitude more cash?

  18. I tried it for a week on BlackBerry Launches Twitter-Like BBM Channels · · Score: 1

    I tried it for a week on Android. It's got a horrible UI and offers nothing that's not already out there. The business might collapse at any point and no one I know uses it. So just WHY?

  19. Define a structure... on Astronomers Discover Largest Structure In the Universe · · Score: 2

    These bunch of gamma ray bursts, are they in any way related to each other than in form?

  20. Re: What's the point? on Nintendo Announces $99 Wii Mini For US Release · · Score: 1

    The correct analogy would be an iPhone that runs apps but has no 3G. It's called the iPad touch.
