  2. Re:good comparison of Gizmo vs Skype on Microsoft to Launch "Skype Killer" · · Score: 1
  3. anyone use BroadVoice for Intl. calls? on Microsoft to Launch "Skype Killer" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    for $20/mo. you have unlimited calls not just US and Canada but also a total of 21 countries. Including UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Norway, Oz...

    pretty sweet if call quality is decent.

  4. article didn't mention Neotonic on Who Will Google Buy Next? · · Score: 1

  5. Currency Calculator on Google Delivering Factual Answers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I guess Google doesn't want to step on some toes but it bugs me they don't easily do currency conversion

  6. Sid Jackson's Who's the Boss on Fun Tabletop Games? · · Score: 1

    It's a card based game in which you try to broker investment deals. However, it's setup so that two or three players can't easily split a deal. Someone will get the shortend of the stick. Also, you can't be too greedy if you are the other players will srew up your action or not include you in deals.

    As with other Sid Jackson games (ex: Acquire) it really comes down to who's better at keeping a mental score of other players' cash.

  7. All the cool kids are doing it on Rolling With Ruby On Rails · · Score: 1
  8. Re:kvm switch on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    good idea. what's a cheap but sexay KVM switch.
    OK I just want a cheap one.

  9. Q: Why a new standard anyway? A: Piracy on Porn Industry Mulls Next Generation-DVD · · Score: 2, Informative

    yeah, I know we all want to watch our movies at a billion lines of resolution but the only reason I see Hollywood being so gung-ho about getting a new standard out is because DVDs are now easy to copy or you can download a DVD rip off the net. Downloading 2GB used to be a feat but in day of increasing bandwidth it's no longer unreasonable. HD-DVD or Blu-Ray would require new burners, media and a rip would be 5-7x larger.

  12. Re:Extensions on Mozilla Releases Firefox 1.0 RC1 · · Score: 1

    thanks for the tip. I always lag a handful of weeks behind after new ff releases b/c of extension incompatibilities.

  15. Re:Interesting on GMail Drive Shell Extension · · Score: 1

    Google could launch a paid service like .Mac
    - POP access and GDrive oh yeah!

  16. they're not the first on Two Women Found With HIV-Immune Mutant Gene · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I saw a show on PBS that discussed the Plague and how some medievals didn't die when infected. It then went to discuss a gay man who was HIV resistant. the guy must've felt like a highlander - all his friends kept dying off and he expected to die off also but though infected with HIV it never

  18. Re:On the first screen of ilovebees.com on Halo 2 Website Puzzle Confounds · · Score: 1

    that's exactly what I was thinking.

    anyway, how do I contact Dana?

  21. Oddpost is not just an Outlook clone on Yahoo! Acquires Oddpost · · Score: 2, Informative

    the cool thing about Oddpost was that it was a central location for all your emails and a news feed aggregator. what I didn't like was the IE-only requirement.

  24. Re:How about... on A New Look For Firefox · · Score: 1

    Is this the same issue that causes it to choke on pages with many images?
    Otherwise, I love Firefox for my browsing experience.

    BTW, if Opera was able to get $12 million from Microsoft why can't the Mozilla folks send in some complaints to get MSNBC's This Week in Pictures to work with Firefox.

    my first blogging attempt was with MT.
    recently I've been using WP (which is very, very cool). I'm gonna give Bloxsom a whirl now for the heck of it.
