  1. it is a cycle on 3D TV Is Dead (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    No worries it will come back in 8 years. It is a marketing (aka hype) cycle: VR, increase resolution, improve sound, increase color depth, try 3D.

  2. shared database asking for corruption on Blockchain Technology Could Save Banks $12 Billion a Year (silicon.co.uk) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Wow, what a great idea! (irony). Literally one database corruption (see recent pot data corruption posts) could wipe whole nation's savings.

  3. more important than iPhone on AT&T Shuts Down 2G Network, Ends Cellular Connectivity For Original iPhone (macrumors.com) · · Score: 2

    Shutting down 2G shuts down also some of the elder/patient tracking devices that depend on 2G network (that was more energy/cost effective than 3/4G).

  4. not the same... on President Obama Commutes Chelsea Manning's Sentence (theverge.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Difference is: we knew what Nixon did; with Snowden we are not sure how much data he stole and what he has revealed to foreign countries that happily granted him "safe" harbor.

  5. stop calling R/C model a DRONE on ISIS Is Dropping Bombs With Drones In Iraq (popsci.com) · · Score: 2

    This is not a drone, it is R/C model!

  6. budget cuts for NSA? on Open Source Codec Encodes Voice Into Only 700 Bits Per Second (rowetel.com) · · Score: 1

    15s/IP packet - this should lower operational cost for our government.

  7. Microsoft is becoming Green! - nice PR move.

  8. If you think that training your replacement was bad, you at least got paid. Uber is getting paid by users and drivers (via commissions) to develop their AI - smart move. Normally it costs a lot to get professional user (drivers) to train neural network and to get all the traffic information.

  9. Re:Or three programmers get 300% raises on World's Largest Hedge Fund To Replace Managers With Artificial Intelligence (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    These programmers are competent ... they are outsourced IBM consultants!

  10. you don't know when it fails! on China Claims Tests of 'Reactionless' EM Drive Were Successful (popsci.com) · · Score: 1

    If you do not know how it works you do not know when it will stop working! Sending a mission to Mars and learning that you can't go back may not be that great.

  11. Re:Like a kid in a (methamphetamine) candy store on Next Big Thing From Elon Musk? It Could Be 'Boring' (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    No, he needs to keep momentum going. He is a visionary and he needs the right people to keep ventures going.

  12. 2 antennas - no way to hold it right!? on Apple Explores Dual-SIM Capability in iPhones, Patent Filing Reveals (ibtimes.com.au) · · Score: 1

    They need to patent the way to hold their phone with two antennas - I bet it will be unique.

  13. finally we can comment on Slashdot theme on Businesses May No Longer Sue Customers Over Negative Reviews (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    just kidding:)

  14. I guess there will be lots of swearing and honking on Feds Unveil Rule Requiring Cars To 'Talk' To Each Other (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess there will be lots of swearing and honking

  15. Re:So holding it in air... on Apple Says Air Exposure Is Causing iPhone 6s Battery Problems (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    you need to cover those vents!

  16. Re:clarifying this garbage article on Russia Falls Behind In Annual Space Launches For First Time Ever (themoscowtimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Russia funding is for the next decade while US is for 2016

  17. WRONG! let me tell you, it is such a mess....

  18. warning on Snapchat Files For IPO (reuters.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Your investment may be short-lived and self-deleting.

  19. ... all you have to do is unplug your network cable and all wireless devices.

  20. it is called Technical Debt on App Developers Spend Too Much Time Debugging Errors in Production Systems (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    It is a price you pay for time to market approach. Unfortunately most of the companies do not go back and re-pay debt by fixing quality of the software. They prefer to move to the next project. Of course you can show around your success with a project under the budget. Someone else will pay for your Technical Debt. Good luck.

  21. learn from your planet and stay away! on Mysterious Star Pulses May Be Alien Signals, Study Claims (iop.org) · · Score: 5, Funny

    For once we should learn from our planet. If you are in a vast ocean of space and see a faint light it is ... Anglerfish - run!

  22. ...and somehow houses/cars/etc. get doors with unique keys by default.

  23. what a joke? on Microsoft Unveils $37 Nokia 216 Feature Phone (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    One can buy used 4 year old used phone for less that is *full* featured phone with normal camera, etc. What is next? A phone with a rotary dial (aka. semi-feature)?

  24. Re:Well... on Mobileye Says Tesla Was Dropped Because of Safety Concerns · · Score: 1

    Are comparing fatalities to accidents?

  25. it had to bite someone on CPSC: Stop Using The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    ....if only it had user replaceable battery... ah.
