  1. Re:Sweet!! on Internet Archive Launches Arcade of Classic Games In the Browser · · Score: 0

    Oh, man. I'm so getting fired after a couple weeks with this... That is if they catch me, of course.

  2. I just don't get it on Pirate Bay Co-founder Arrested In Northeastern Thailand · · Score: 1

    This is just a shame, a real shame.

  3. Re:Device looking for a use case on Microsoft Enters the Wearables Market With 'Band' · · Score: 1

    I think the health features are kind of what justify the product. If you're not interested in them, you could buy something else and save a little money in the process. However, the smart features are so. Damn. Sexy.

  4. Now what? on Lenovo Completes Motorola Deal · · Score: 1

    The way Google made Motorola be born again was simply outstanding, I hope Lenovo learn enough from the previous owners in order to not only keep the rising status, but make the company what it really could be. Not a big fan of this deal, to be honest, but let's see!

  5. Re:Definitely worth a look. on How To View the Antares Launch · · Score: 1

    Did you get to see it? It must've been a pretty cool watch.

  6. Incredible on Stem Cells Grown From Patient's Arm Used To Replace Retina · · Score: 1

    Fantastic achievement! People with visual disabilities might have a real shot now in future generations.

  7. Wrong distance away on Two Exocomet Families Found Around Baby Star System · · Score: 1

    Oh, dear. That was a screamer of a mistake. Stopped reading right away, too and went right to the comments bashing. Not disappointed. :3

  8. Fine, but... on DHS Investigates 24 Potentially Lethal IoT Medical Devices · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of course, it's always good to see patient safety is encouraged. I hope making it public does push towards fixing the issues and not people panicking.

  9. Re:It is a common thing right now in other cities on Speed Cameras In Chicago Earn $50M Less Than Expected · · Score: 1

    Exactly! It's like they do in my country where alcohol and cigarette taxes end up paying for kid's sports activities. I mean, WTF?

  10. Re:I can already see it on Microsoft Gearing Up To Release a Smartwatch of Its Own · · Score: 2

    It sounded cool until the Kinect-BaseballCap combo.

  11. Yay! Go cheerios + science. I'm a happy nerd.

  12. It's getting scary to put content online nowadays on Dropbox Wasn't Hacked, Says Leaked Credentials Are From Unrelated Services · · Score: 2

    I mean, Gmail, iCloud (tell Jennifer about that) now Dropbox. Shizzle not be safe, fellas.

  13. Re:The Nobel Prize Committee blew it on No Nobel For Nick Holonyak Jr, Father of the LED · · Score: 1

    Dude, you're so mixing this up. Thing is, if they give me a Nobel Prize for inventing the computer, shouldn't they give a Nobel to the one who made the transistor? Oh, wait. They did!

  14. Aaaand you're probably reading this from an LED screen. Ain't that great?

  15. Re:Useful but physics? on 2014 Nobel Prize In Physics Awarded To the Inventors of the Blue LED · · Score: 1

    I mean, seriously? Just wondering, where else would you put it?

  16. :O on UK Copyright Reforms Legalize Back-Ups, Protect Parody · · Score: 1

    *New pirate bay servers are opened in the UK*

  17. This ain't good on Aral Sea Basin Almost Completely Dry · · Score: 1

    What a shame. All this destruction for a few years worth of money. I suppose we're getting what we deserve, anyway.

  18. Waste of money on Robotic Taster Will Judge 'Real Thai Food' · · Score: 1

    So what? It's not like people around the world will become good cooks after this. It almost seems like prank news... and a total waste of money.

  19. Typical on Apple Faces Large Penalties In EU Tax Probe · · Score: 1

    Well, everybody gets what they want. Apple, no real action against them and the gov't free money! Ain't that great?

  20. Little sissies on China Eager To Send Its Own Mission To Mars In the Wake of Mangalyaan · · Score: 1

    Se they just got a little jealous and now they're going to make a tantrum by following their rivals. Let's see them do it for $72 million.

  21. Understanding sacrifices on Device Allows Paralyzed Rats To Walk, Human Trials Scheduled Next Summer · · Score: 2

    If you had a paralyzed family member like me, you'd really understand what this means to a lot of people. I'm thankful for those rats, I'm sorry they might've to suffer to get us here, but then again, it gives us hope. It might be too late for my aunt already, but if future generations of handicapped people can take advantage of this, that's amazing.

  22. Re:Underwater? Yes. Robot? NO on Octopus-Inspired Robot Matches Real Octopus For Speed · · Score: 2

    True. But if you can get over the semantic issue in the title, it is still a marvelous achievement.

  23. Price - Value on Do Specs Matter Anymore For the Average Smartphone User? · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the super long debate about price and value. I personally own a Moto G and don't really notice the difference with the latest galaxy phones when doing the every day tasks mentioned in the article. You should try to buy what you need and spend the rest of the money on clothing or something. That's gonna give you a lot more status, if that's what you're looking for... Gamers are a completely different thing, though!

  24. Unfulfilled on Kickstarter Lays Down New Rules For When a Project Fails · · Score: 2

    Well, everyone who puts money on some stranger's project knows they're running a risk with it, but they expect it to deliver at some point. Just make sure you're not kickstarting with the money to pay the kid's college and you'll be alright.

  25. Hahahahaha! This U2 thing is going a bit too far. You can just tell they don't know what to do to get back into the game. Non-piratable? Um, how about just recording the audio and exporting it to a conventional format. Who knows, they might make something worthy of attention, but if they're thinking about revolutionizing the industry, they better try again. And again. And again.
